Anyone see any good new years shows this year? I saw moe. at Radio City and they once again put on a great show. It was nice and long (three sets with a three song encore). The second and third set (especially third!!!) were amazing. A great Godzilla opener followed by a sweet Moth. In the second set The Pit was great as well as Time Ed. The whole third set was perfect with a great and long Recreational Chemistry set closer. the set started around 12:40 and after Not Coming Down followed by Worwood they did a New years countdown . Balloons dropped from huge bags on the celling (right above of me) and they kicked it into New York City into Buster and the rest is history.
Panic at Phillips in Atlanta. They hung a banner for their 15 consecutivie NYE run sellouts (99-06) 15 shows in all and named them the offical house band of the arena. Now when kobi or lebron come to town they have to look at the panic banner while they shoot free throws. fucking great. Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi came out on the 30th, Col. Bruce Hamptons goofy ass came out on the 2nd set. Partied with the Sound Tribe kids on nye for a while. All in all a blast.
i saw the disco biscuits @ the tweeter center in Camden, NJ. it opened with Keller Williams, who i really enjoy, but i thought was pretty lame. then bisco came on with there first set. it was amazing, very energetic, i danced throughout the whole thing right up front. then younger brother came on, which was pretty cool, i mostly chilled throughout there set. then bisco came on with there second set, which was even better than the first! i there where glow sticks everywhere, and confetti during the "ball drop". i danced for a few more hours till there set was over, then i went home cuz i had work at 8am. i didn't stay for sphongle, Prometheus, hallucinogen, or DJ ?uestlove. i had a really amazing time all together! i love bisco, i cant wait to see em again in February id definitely recommend the disco biscuits for NYE
SCI @ SEA OF DREAMS!!!! AMAZING! Drumminmama, were you in front of the sound board area? i was going to say hi, but i didn't know if it was you or not....so i didn't want to look like a weirdo and ask a stranger if i knew them from the internet....
I heard some of the SCI show on sirius Jam_on, in the car on the way home from moe. (it was simulcasted). Its three hours behind over there so I got to hear it at midnight, sounded like alot of fun!
there was no place on the entire EARTH that was cooler than Sea of Dreams....what a weekend.....Pnuma Trio blew my mind, i was never impressed with them until now......Lotus broke down a few barriers and took on some face melting jams......and of course SCI, they thru down so hard....no place better on EARTH!!!
WIDESPREAD PANIC in atlanta!!! the energy in that place was freakin insane!! the banner, all the guests, being on the floor, meeting awesome people...it kinda makes me sad that it's over!!! there's no other place i would have rather been!!!!!!
