Location: St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

I'm just your typical moron who throws random temper tantrums every now and again. If I would have known this is how I was destined to turn out fifteen years ago after graduating University, I would have stabbed myself in the head with my gift graduation pen then and there.

Very cool show actually and a nice backdrop to an evening of weights and squash drills.

The Slip
Le Swimming
Montreal, QU
05-24-03

Neat factoid about this show is that all the bands instruments and gear was confiscated at the Canadian border, so this entire show was played on borrowed instruments only hours before the show. Not bad at all...

Lightning Hopkins
Munich, Germany

Don't know anything about this shows particular venue but it is a very sweet, sentimental blues show highlighting 'ol Lightning's charisma and charm.

Reeble Jar
WOW Hall
Eugene, OR
07-29-05

The opening band for Garaj Mahal. I originally came across this recording in a blind trade with someone through an Internet message board years ago and it certainly provided some inspired weight-lifting tonight. You gotta love anything that starts off with a decent didgeridoo riff before exploding into some sick jazz funk beats and rhythm.

Old School Freight Train
Palace Theater
Columbus, OH
03-21-08

Excellent morning music. I love their rootsy takes on classic covers like I Know You Rider, Heart of Glass (Blondie), and Superstition (Stevie Wonder).

OM Trio
All Good Festival - Sunshine Daydream Campground "Barn"
Terra Alta, WV
05-16-02

I remember hearing this set from the top of a hill in "RV Land" as wet snow and a torturous icy wind lashed at our poor, sorry, ill-equipped hippie asses. Things were definitely not "All Good" at the All Good Festival this year. I also recall the mental anguish just to accomplish simple tasks like pitching tents...

The Slip
El Mocambo
Toronto, ON
05-20-03

Another show I wanted to see but missed for some stupid reason that escapes me now. Too bad too, because besides the trippy 'Get Me With Fuji' opener, they also covered Van Morrison's 'Sweet Thing' as well.

Peter Gabriel
The Roxy
Los Angeles, CA
04-09-77

Something to soothe my nerves in the Pearson International Airport. I'm a good traveler, but, I find the crowds of stupid people to be rather irritating.

I'm impressed. I didn't expect to be but I am.

Widespread Panic
Van Ripers Music Festival
Charlottesville, VA
10-03-93

Three words: Best...Panic...Ever. One set show that swings from the opening notes of this one set show with guests Warren Haynes (on a smoking 'Low-Spark of High Heeled Boys') and Danny Lewis (in the encore wrap-up of Buffalo Springfield's 'Mr. Soul'). It is also interesting to note that this show also happened to be performed 17 years ago today...

Humble Pie
BBC Radio Show
09-10-70

That's all I know about this show apart from the sweet, sweet 'Walk on Guilded Splinters' cover.
