[Nylle]

Great news for all you lucky CA people! Now will someone please tell me wtf a Hello Pettytom is? :017:

[Relic]

What a great way to spend that 'leap day' on Feb 29th!!!!

Very cool!

YahoooooOOOooOOooOOOOooo!!!!!!


I wonder if they have the same bouncer? That guy was a roll!

[SusieSunshine]

Woohoo!!! Oh I loved that bouncer!!!

[The Wild One, Forever]

Theres probably an age limit huh?

[Relic]

Its a bar so I think you are out of luck :(

(Hoping I can go too - I'm supposed to be 'in the field someplace' starting around then for work....)

[Refugee]

I believe the Viper Room is 21 years of age or over.

[Relic]

From their site... (Took a while to find it)

"The Viper Room is open seven nights a week, and admits patrons over 21 years of age. The club generally opens at 9:00pm and closes at 2:00am. There is no membership required, and cover charges vary. The history of LA's music scene, as well as that of pop culture and music in general, is being made nightly at the Viper Room. ..., never a dull experience."

[nurktwin]

that bouncer was like the gestapo....lol.

[Relic]

It seemed like he was playing some scripted part out of a movie...

Every Bouncer cliche from every movie you ever saw, all rolled into one character...

If the same guy is still there it is almost worth going just for the 'outside line' experience :) Kind of like a Disneyland ride but with a Hollywood Club theme instead!

(Thats what Disney California Adventure should be like!)

[Refugee]

Hey now, leave Casper alone. ;)

[nurktwin]

i think he's waiting to be discovered, aren't all those hollywood people? maybe johnny depp or whoever owns the viper room will notice him next time they write out his paycheck......lol. in the meantime, get the hell out of line and smoke your ciggies on the street!!!

[KansasPettyFan]

That guy was a TRIP! I was scared I'd do something wrong. lol

[Starfish]

Oh damn. I would love to take my son to see the Knobs and this date is right before his spring break starts, but he's not 21.

[The Wild One, Forever]

Bummer for me.

The bouncer sounds like he was a trip.lol.

[Echosoftom]

LMAO @ Nurk and Relic! Oh yeah, he was a real kick! Now line up to the right and NO TALKING!!!

Man, it's like I'm spending the whole of February down in L.A. I'm not sure I'll make this one, the weekend before, I'm going down to see Heart at the Gibson amphitheater (2nd row, YAY!!!!). But If I can swing it, I'm sure going to try.

[WildflowerNJ]

Haha, yes, I remember that guy!! The Viper Room was so cool....that will be a great show!!

[Marion]

I love the Viper Room. It was an experience, that's for sure! Good old Casper gave us stories to tell for a long time to come!

[Tara]

Yay!! I'm going to try to make this gig. I remember Casper from last year's gig...happy guy ;)

[Magnolia]

Oh damn. I would love to take my son to see the Knobs and this date is right before his spring break starts, but he's not 21.
Never heard of a fake I.D.?? (Nah, just kidding. I'd never advocate
such a thing...... :045:)

Yay, it's on my calendar!!

[Pankie]

Nancy --

Why can't he go with you? As long as there's an adult with him, why wouldn't they let both of you in?

[Starfish]

LOL He probably does have a fake ID, but I'm not asking. He has already managed to buy beer without being carded and was goofy enough to tell me about it, ugh.

Pankie, someone posted earlier that you have to be 21 to get in.

[LizzieB]

I wish I could go. I'd love to visit the Viper Room at least once! You guys have fun.

[KansasPettyFan]

LOL He probably does have a fake ID, but I'm not asking. He has already managed to buy beer without being carded and was goofy enough to tell me about it, ugh.



LOLOLOL! What a kid! haha

[campbellfan80]

Whomever goes, can someone PLEASE try for an upclose pic of Mike's Pedalboard???

[Refugee]

I wish they would put the tickets up for sale.

[Echosoftom]

^ I can't even remember what we did last year. Did we buy our tickets before the show?

[Refugee]

Yes, and had our names on Casper's list, lol.

[Echosoftom]

^ Oh that's right. Now how could I forget that part? lol

[Refugee]

^ Silly rabbit. ;)

[Refugee]

Here's the opening act.

http://www.leroypowell.com/

[Pankie]

For a minute, he looks like Mike with a full beard....

[Magnolia]

^ You're right Pankie, he does a little bit!

[Pankie]

Thanks -- I thought my LASIK was failing me....

LOL!

[KansasPettyFan]

It does! How funny!

[Athena]

I'll have to check him out on emusic when I get home. Then I will know how early I need to be at the Viper Room. I really liked the opening bands last year.

[Echosoftom]

^ Strangeway was a great opening band!

[Pawie]

Of course I have messed up my schedule and am supposed to work the 29th.... but that'll change. I intend to be there if only I get a ticket....

[Refugee]

Did you buy your tickets? They are up and on sale. :003:

[wildgator]

GOD! I wanna see them so bad!

[Refugee]

Come on out, Amanda! You know you wanna do it. :045:

[Pawie]

Got my ticket all right. Now I just need to get off work .....

[WildflowerNJ]

This is going to be a great show!! I wish I was coming, too....

[Pawie]

This is going to be a great show!! I wish I was coming, too....

Come on over, Roomie :):) I'd love to see you here.

[The Wild One, Forever]

I so wish I was five years older. Everyone have lots of fun for me!

[SusieSunshine]

^and we all wish we were 5 years younger.....lol! We will be thinking of you!!

Remember, you will always have the Super Bowl,

[WildflowerNJ]

(((Lotta))) I will be over to see our Knobs again....I will....:heart:

[Tara]

Just booked my flight! Woot! :003:

[Marion]

YAY Tara!! :041:

[Echosoftom]

Tara's going! Now it's a party, LOL!

[WildflowerNJ]

Rockin' party at the Viper Room!! I can't wait to hear all about this night!!! Have fun, Knobettes and Knobbers!

[surfnburn]

Woot! You guys are going to have fun! I can't wait to hear the stories.

[Refugee]

Just booked my flight! Woot! :003:

Oh hell yeah! :003: Hey, is Lizzie coming down too?

[Tara]

I'm sooo looking forward to it! I hope Casper doesn't give us a hard time ;)

[Magnolia]

^ Aww, ol' Casper was a pushover! All talk!

[WildflowerNJ]

Hahaha, that guy!!

[Athena]

My business trip to Canada that week just got cancelled so I no longer have to worry about not getting back in time if the weather goes bad :)

[Tara]

Hmm...I'm flying in from Canada the day of the show. NO snow in Toronto on February 29th please!!

It'll all be good, right? lol :045:

[Refugee]

Damn, no crabcakes at the Viper Room, lol. ;)

[nurktwin]

but they do have a bottle of domestic beer for $9!!!!!

[WildflowerNJ]

:p:p

[Relic]

I think a bottle of Patron costs about $300.00 there....

My father in law wanted a booth (can't stand up all night at his age) and purchased a bottle to 'hold down' a booth.

But I did catch him dancing at one point in the evening :) He may be retired now, but he still knows good rock and roll when he hears it.

[Marion]

^ That's cool. :cool:

[Magnolia]

Yay! Go Relic's father-in-law!!

[Tara]

Damn...it just won't be the same without preshow crabcakes! ;)

I'm sure we'll have a rockin evening regardless, lol.

[peacesmile]

Tara, and any other Canadians going, wave the Canadian flag and have a ball!

[Pettylicious81]

Hey for all ya'll seeing them on the 29th, have fun :D I hope maybe one day I can get down there to see 'em :)

[SusieSunshine]

I think a bottle of Patron costs about $300.00 there....

Is he coming this time....I rather enjoyed him!!!:045:

[Athena]

^Unfortunately he is still recovering from knee replacement surgery last fall. No dancing for him yet. :085: Just leaving the house is difficult for him.

[Tara]

Tara, and any other Canadians going, wave the Canadian flag and have a ball!

Thanks peacesmile! Will do :)

[SusieSunshine]

Wooohoooo!!!! Only three more day....Is anyone fired up, or are ya a bunch of Deadbeats? Le's get excited people...We are gonna get KNOBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Refugee]

^ Newbie, LOL! ;)

[Magnolia]

^ Can't wait, Susie!!

[Athena]

Friday seems so far away right now, with the long work days ahead. But don't worry, I'll be all excited come Friday!!

[WildflowerNJ]

This is going to be such a great show!!! I can't wait to hear all about it, Knobers and Knobbettes!! The Viper Room is going to be rockin!!! :b55:

[Echosoftom]

Friday will be here before you know it. :003:

[WildflowerNJ]

It sure will!!! Rock on, Knobs!! :003:

[SusieSunshine]

^ Newbie, LOL! ;)


ROFLMAO!!!! Now that is funny!!!!!!!!!:003::003::003::003:

[Relic]

I have a Test Review that is now scheduled for Friday. I told my lead "Im going to be in Hollywood Friday night, so if things go long........ See ya!"

I think he understands, but he couldn't resist teasing me about 'working the streets in Hollywood on Friday night.'

The following Monday I jump on a plane and travel to 'Gotham City' for two fun filled weeks of testing on 'Project X'. I'll probably still have the joyous sound of the Knobs ringing in my ears as I get on the plane.

Definitely ready to ROCK and ROLL!

(Not bringing the camera this time. Too much hassle at that venue, although 'interacting' with Casper is almost worth the price of tickets).

[worldview]

I hope I am still standing by Friday. Crossing the great divide. Somebody needs to send Franna some extra special love to NYC because she is very sick and worried she make not make the Viper Room...

Susie, I can't believe you are making me go to the Ontario Airport twice in one week.

[Danny Mac]

Everybody have a great Time! Will be thinking of how much fun you all
will be having! Tell everybody I said Hello!

[Tara]

Are cameras allowed in the Viper Room? Will Casper beat me up if I bring one? lol

[Pettyphile]

Cameras aren't allowed officially, but if you hide it in your coat (or somewhere else inconspicuous) they won't kick you out for using it.

Steve, you can't hide THAT camera...LOL!

[Marion]

I took pictures in the Viper Room last year. No one made me stop. I think we all took pictures!

[Marion]

Teresa and I took a ride down to the Viper Room the afternoon before the show last year and took these pictures.

http://www.mudcrutch.com/photos/data/521/medium/DSC03649.JPG

[surfnburn]

^That was so fun!!

I've been to a couple of shows there. No one asked about my camera. I didn't even know there was a no-camera policy...lol

[Echosoftom]

Marion, those are very nice shots of the venue.

[WildflowerNJ]

Marion, great pics of the Viper Room! Very cool place....have fun, everyone!! I will be thinking of you all....:b55:

[wild1forever]

Marion, those photos of the Viper Room brought back happy memories of that show! Have fun this Friday, everybody. :)

[Ilovetench]

That would be great if Ron showed! :)

[Tara]

Oh man...can't wait until tomorrow night :003:

[Refugee]

Is it Friday yet????? :003: ^ See you tomorrow! :045:

[WildflowerNJ]

Yay!! It is Friday!!! So excited for all of you going....have a great time!! :041:

[surfnburn]

Woot!!!! Have fun!!!

[AmyLou]

Have fun guys! and remember, detail detail details! :045:

[Athena]

This is going to be a looooong work day.

[Starfish]

Can't wait to hear about it! :)

[Pawie]

Ref, you on your way or are you still at home?? Do you have the time???? Hmmm I better call.

[agirl]

Have a great time everyone!!

[WildflowerNJ]

Can't wait to hear what they sang! Rock on, Knobs!! :b55::b55::b55:

[nurktwin]

well, what happened last night?

[wild1forever]

Wake up, people! We're waiting. :)

[Relic]

My head hurts........ :)

They played all kinds of good stuff!

I have fuzzy memories of six shots of Patron and (in no particular order):

Above Water (Absent from the list for a while but it triumphantly returned last night)

Balls Off (They sang theirs off, I drank mine off)
Frankenstein (Are my bolts showing?)
She Said ("I'm driving")
Humdinger (Yes Please!)
Sweet Little Sixteen (Come back in two years)
Wind Cries Mary (Wow)
Minimum Wage (Takes 20 hours to pay off my $157.00 bar tab including tip)
Surf Medley (Wouldn't be a Knobs show without surf guitar)


Athena drove us home.

Athena adds: "We got some great views of Dave's ass at various times during the night" LOL

Dave, you have a stalker!
(I'm going to have to keep my eye on Athena!)


It was a truly wonderful evening of hot music and warm friends. Thanks Knobs!

I can hardly wait for the next show so I can once again tell my boss - "Im outta here, goin' to Hollywood to get Knobbed!"

[Athena]

Hey now, I saw plenty of other "Dave Ass Watchers" out there last night. Fess up girls!

As always, it was the BEST SHOW EVER! The place was absolutely packed. There was no elbow room. Saw some familiar musician faces from the Imperial Ballroom.

[Relic]

Thats right, I saw Peter Stroud there. Athena thinks she may have seen a member of Black Unicorn (Brian Ray's band) as well as some other musicians lurking in the shadows.

I have not had that much fun in a long time.

Tequila anyone?

[Girl@thehighschooldance]

I hope you guys all had a great time last night!!! It sounds like Relic and Athena had a great time!

[nurktwin]

thanks relic and athena, hope to see you soon in LA.

[WildflowerNJ]

Yay!!!! Another rockin night with the Knobs!! Thank you, Relic and Athena for sharing this with us.....

[Refugee]

I just got home and had to come straight to work. I will write about my night later on. Marion, Sharon, Teresa and Tara are still in LA having fun.

I hope everyone got home safe and sound.

Sorry for yelling...but....OMG! WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT!!!!!

Thank you Knobs and family! You made my night SOOOOOOO special. :heart:

[Relic]

I forgot to add 'Shake These Blues' to the set list, but they played that one early on in the set.

I like that song. I like it a lot!

Before the gig, while still at work, I was talking to a co-worker and told 'em about this cool song written by JJ Cale about kicking the blues. A lot of us have been feeling the blues at work over this nutty project, and I told my co-worker that I hoped they would play this song because it pretty well summed up my desire to get out of the 'funk' I've been in over it.

Last night Doctors Cale, Campbell, Sinay, Morrison and Laug banished my funk. The only side effect was a little hangover. (Wish my HMO would cover this kind of treatment!)

I got to thinking about work again this afternoon and that triggered my memory of the song last night!

The Doctors were definitely 'In' last night at the Viper Room.

[Pawie]

I agree to what has been saud. What a fantastic night. I love the music so much. The band rocked the place but did anyone expect anything else?? Tara and Lissie.... are you Athena and Relic? I BET you two had a blast.... :):):)
It was so much fun to meet more Farmers indeed.

They said No Pictures... well.. I haven't seen more flashed in my entire life. I was blinded myself over and over... but my few drops of civil disobedience in my blood cloned and I too got my camera up... but bad BAD pics this time. I really don't know what was wrong but the light was not very good either and I suppose I was a bit too far back... so sorry guys, no closeups today from this end. I am sure there will be a lot of others though.

Thanks to the band and to my friends here. I love you guys. It is such a homecoming feeling to see your faces. Lookig forward to June and maybe even July, Marion ??? :)

[nurktwin]

thank you lotta

[WildflowerNJ]

Hey, Linda and Lotta...thank you so much for coming back to share!!! I knew this night would be so special...the Knobs and their music always make it that way!! Hope the girls are having a great time in LA!! Looking forward to more reviews! I love those Dirty Knobs!! :heart:

[surfnburn]

Thanks for the early reviews everyone! Sounds like an incredible set... I can't wait to hear the details... I'm glad is was such a special time for the Knobettes and Knobbers... I love the Knobs....

[nurktwin]

i've been waiting, and i'll continue to wait. i'm wondering if mike played beck's bolero like we talked at the last show. i doubt it, but maybe someday. i think mike should do a soft easy song and sing "something". mike loves the beatles.

[Refugee]

They did dedicate Any Way You Want It to Mike Smith. :)

PS - They tore up on that song!

[nurktwin]

i thought they would do something for mike smith, thats so great.

[WildflowerNJ]

Thanks for that, Ref....I love that they dedicated that song to Mike Smith....gosh, I love those guys.....:heart:

[Girl@thehighschooldance]

Sounds like a great show! I bet you all had a blast! Glad you had fun, guy and gals. I hope that when I get back to cali at the end of the year, I can have some fun with all of you at a show! Wish I could have been there last night, I miss the Viper Room. I've seen my friend's band there a few times. I like that club.

[Refugee]

Oh, and Casper wasn't there, LOL!

We had the most friendly doorman and the bartender was the best! :)

[surfnburn]

^I'm not crying any tears over his departure..lol. Jeezz....he wouldn't tell me if you guys were in the bar....because of his "no questions allowed" rule...lol

[SusieSunshine]

Crap...I was at the wrong side of the stage Athena..I didn't get the view of Dave's ass that you did..pfffttt...I was all happy unti I read your post about that. Now I know I missed something.

What a great night ('cept for missing Daves fine behind...)

I will move heaven and earth to see and hear these 4 musicians. They are...c'mon what words are there? I am just grateful that they are playing and we get to go seee them. Son't they make it look fun???

Just got home to the mountains after a long day of travel..still high from my Knobbin'!! Thanks and ever thanks.

Also...I t was so great to see Patty last night..I wish I could hug you again.
Suz

[Magnolia]

Woo-hoo! Sounds like a blast everyone! I love the Knobs. I could just
listen to them forever and never get tired of it. Thanks for sharing you
guys, and feel free to post pix (if you had the nerve to take them.)
I'm sorry Casper wasn't there. I thought he was a trip!!

[Relic]

I'm telling you guys, he was only working there to develop the perfect 'bouncer' character for some Hollywood movie.

He probably landed a part and took the gig! :)

[surfnburn]

^I guess I wasn't his audience...LOL

[Refugee]

Some of the songs I remembered -

Above Water
I Sang My Balls Off For You/Deal
Bride of Frankenstein
She Said
Humdinger
Sweet Little Sixteen/Little Latin Lupe
Wind Cries Mary
Minimum Wage
Surf Medley
Loaded Gun
Guitar Boogie Shuffle
Any Way You Want It
Never Gonna Own Me

I know there are some more, but I'm tired.

[surfnburn]

I love it when they play Hendrix... "Wind Cries Mary" a beautifully written song... It must have been great.

Get some rest...

[WildflowerNJ]

((Linda)) Get some rest...thanks for that set list...wow, what a night!!

[Starfish]

Sounds amazing! :)

[Gatorfan]

Sounds awesome...I really hope to see the Knob's again one day! Thanks for the setlist and keep the stories (and pic's) comin!!

[agirl]

Sounds great!

[Relic]

I love it when they play Hendrix... "Wind Cries Mary" a beautifully written song... It must have been great.

It was one of those magical moments - I recall asking myself "Is this really happening?".

Such love and passion in the way they celebrate that song.

It felt like a lover's kiss. And for a while, time stood still.

[Marion]

Just got home and I'm wiped. I will have a review and some pics tomorrow. I had a fantastic time at the show. The Knobs were on fire! We do have some stories to tell about the patrons as well.

Here is one of my pictures for you....I love these guys. :heart:

http://www.mudcrutch.com/photos/data/521/medium/DSC01902.JPG

[Echosoftom]

^ I hear ya Steve! :045:

Marion, I love that picture! :055:

That was one amazing show! I must say the staff was Sooo nice. The guy working the bar wouldn't even take money for me and Ref's coke. What a sweetheart.

The opening acts were pretty cool. I especially enjoyed Leroy Powell and his band. That was some good country music. Along with other things. ;) I think they got the crowd pretty excited.

The place was packed and the band was on fire. The guys were all looking and sounding great. It was one of those shows you were really glad you didn't decide to stay home. I just have to say this though. I can not take that Viper room again. The people are took drunk, it's too damn small and too hot. Although, in the end it was worth it. But I have to ask, what was with all the drunk chicks pushing their way in front of people? I figured I had one run in with LAPD last weekend down there and I didn't need another one so I had to take frequent outside breaks to cool down.

Anyway, "Never Gonna Own Me" always gets me going. I love them opening with that one. And, always, always love "Loaded Gun", "She Said" and one of my all time favorites, "Bride of Frankenstein". But this morning I woke up with "Mama Told Me" in my head. I love that song. And who can argue with the power of that "Guitar Boogie Shuffle", a forever crowd pleaser. Gator, Ape, Swampfox and Crawdaddy, you guys are the best and I'm going to miss seeing all of you this summer.

It was a fantastic weekend. Best of all I got to see all my friends and I didn't lose my bra or get detained by LAPD for snagging lemons off a tree. So I guess it was all good.

Gator, Ape, Crawdaddy, Swampfox, you guys are the best! Thank you all for the fantastic music. :heart:

[Tara]

^hey Sharon, I woke up today with "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" playing in my head, LOL

I just got in myself...the show was absolutely killer. I need to chill for a bit before I write some more, but the set was fantastic.

Thanks to Marion, Teresa and of course Sharon for hangin' on Sat night...wasn't happy hour fun? ;)

[Echosoftom]

^ LMAOOOOOO!!!!

We had a blast! I'm sorry I missed you this morning. I can't believe I slept through you getting ready. I must have been exhausted. Glad you're home safe and sound.

Now I'll be hearing "Fat Guy in Little Coat" in my head all night, LOL!

[peacesmile]

OK, I'm guessing the drunk chicks in the crowd were NOT from these boards ;)

[KansasPettyFan]

What a fabulous night of music! It was so nice to see everyone again. Whole different ballgame without Casper. lol The door guy was so nice! I agree that it is too small, hot, crowded, etc. You get spoiled when you see them play where you can actually sit down. The drunk girls were not from here...that I know of. lolol Let's just say I got my arm 'caressed' by a nearly falling down drunk idiot of a woman. YUCK! She moved on down the line when I didn't 'caress' back. haha

All of the songs were perfect! Above Water was beautiful! Thank you Mike, Jason, Matt and Lance for a great night and for always being so gracious. I'll miss you while you are on your summer break!

With love from Kansas,
Teresa

[fandlinvegas]

What a great night! Here are a few pics from the gig (sorry about the noise/blur):

Once again the Knobs were amazing! So much fun. I'm glad everyone got home safe and sound!

[Relic]

Very nice!

I love it!

[Echosoftom]

Kianna, great pics! :heart: It was good to see you again. :)

Awww, Teresa she just wanted to be your new BFF, LOL!

Ref, I beleive you owe me a dollar, LMAOO! ;)

[Refugee]

^ LOL!!

Damn! I still can't believe I owe you a dollar, hahahaha! But..a bet is a bet. ;)

[WildflowerNJ]

Wow, beautiful pictures!!!! Thank you for these, Marion and Kianna.....what a night this must have been!! Thank you all for sharing.....I would have loved to have heard Above Water......:heart:

[Marion]

I'm glad she owes you a dollar!! Whew!!

Kianna, I love this one! Beautiful shot!

http://www.mudcrutch.com/photos/data/500/medium/011A.jpg

[WildflowerNJ]

Very beautiful!!!! Thank you, Kianna.....:heart:

[Gatorfan]

What a great way to start Monday morning....thanks for the awesome pic's Kianna. Glad to see the beard is still there :heart: Jason's got a new hairstyle...looks great!

[Magnolia]

Gorgeous photos!!!

[Raelin]

Beautiful pictures!:heart:

[surfnburn]

Those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing...

[worldview]

What a wonderful night. Great to see Ref and Echosoft again. And Michelle, Paul, Bob, and Kevin. Always honored to be hanging out with Relic and Athena. We seem to have gotten a good spot near the stairs...Susie is always the best travel partner.

Hard to hear Dead songs last week, but the band held it together. And I will never forget Crawdaddy coming down after the show and giving me the most loving and compassionate hug. It will never be forgotten.

[wild1forever]

^ I love that one, too. Looks almost dreamy...

Sounds like a wonderful night! :)

[Loonie]

Thanks for the photos.

[agirl]

Great pics, everyone. It sounds like you all had a great show!

[Marion]

What can I say? The band was just on fire!

Here is the setlist.

Never Gonna Own me
Minimum Wage
Shake These Blues
Humdinger
Wind Cries Mary
Good Thing Going
I Sang My Balls Off For You/Deal
Above Water
Working Class Hero
You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
Rings Around Uranus
So Tired
She Said
Mama Told Me
Loaded Gun
Sweet Little Sixteen
Anyway You Want It
Bride of Frankenstein
Guitar Boogie Shuffle

They played some incredible jams on all of the songs really. I especially dug "Above Water," "Guitar Boogie Shuffle " & "Shake These Blues. " "Bride of Frankenstein" and "Humdinger" had extra kick too.

It was a great feeling when everyone in the place was singing, "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away." Love that song, "Mama Told Me." It's funky with a little touch of Hendrix!

It was so nice when Gator dedicated a song for Mike Smith of the Dave Clark Five and they kicked butt on "Any Way You Want It! "

They seemed to put extra spice in everything. Loved it when Swamp Fox sings on "So Tired." He's got a great voice! He should get more mic time!

The crowd was drunk and rowdy. It was hot in there and the drunks were getting on my last nerve! Most of the drunks I ran into were woman moving in and out of the crowd and rubbing all over us as they went by. They think they are cute but ladies, we are all there for the music and you are bothering people! Get lost!

On the first song, someone threw a roll of toilet paper up on stage and it whizzed right past Ape's head! No one picked it up and it laid there all night. Ape just laughed it off. Here it is laying on the floor.

http://www.mudcrutch.com/photos/data/587/DSC01882.JPG


I love Ape's smile. He's having a great time! He smiled a lot!

http://www.mudcrutch.com/photos/data/587/DSC01889.JPG

I take so many pictures because I'm trying to get that ultimate shot of Ape. He makes the best faces when he plays. One of these days I'll catch THE ONE!

Lance had some incredible bass lines last night. Everything just sounded so good! He told us that he was going to be working with Courtney Love. Sounds like a scary job to me! haha! Good luck with that Lance!

Swampfox got a great solo during Rings Around Uranus! I wish we could see him better. He sounds so good and he is a super nice guy. Thanks for always being so happy to see us! You're awesome!

Gator said this was the last show till after summer. :085: I will miss them but I know Gator has a full plate this summer and I look forward to that too!

Dirty Knobs, thanks for being so kind to us and chatting with us for a bit after the show. It was worth putting up with the freaks and drunks!

Knobettes, you are the best! We did have some adventures and laughs this weekend! Mr. Ref looked out for us and kept us in stitches.

Oh, I've got to give Kudos to the Leroy Powell and Paul Chesne Bands. They were really good! The Viper Room knows how to pick some great bands!

I love it when Ape and Gator jam guitar to guitar. They really are soul mates on the guitar.

Gator played his mandolin on "Working Class Hero." It was so pretty.

[Nylle]

Lovely pictures everyone. Great setlist. Hearing about the drunks, I'm not too sad I missed it - Marion knows how much I love sharing an evening of rock & roll with drunk chicks.

[nurktwin]

[Echosoftom]

[nurktwin]

[LizzieB]

Very nice pictures! Thanks so much, everyone, for sharing your fun night with us. I love these guys and seeing pictures and reading stories is the next best thing to being there.

[emmie]

What? No pictures of the drunk chicks? LOL

[agirl]

Great pics! Thanks everyone for posting them.

Is this the Leroy Powell?? If so WOW!

[Echosoftom]

Marion, I thought you got some good pics of Leroy.

Emmie, take my word, you wouldn't want to see these drunk chicks, LOL!

[WildflowerNJ]

Oooooo very nice, Carol...thank you for that picture of Leroy...

[Marion]

Yeah, Emmie....one of them was practically humping my leg! I'm like...get away freak!!

No, Sharon, I didn't pull the camera out till the encore. I was afraid of the big bouncer with the big arms! haha!

Leroy Powell was very cute! He reminded my of Waylon Jennings. Thanks for finding the picture Carol. I'm going to buy the cds for both of those opening bands. They were good!

[Echosoftom]

Marion, how funny you should mention Waylon Jennings. Leroy played in the back up band for Waylon's son named Shooter Jennings.

[agirl]

Marion, I liked what I heard on his site.

[Marion]

Did he really, Sharon? That makes sense. He's got the groove. Now, that's country music the way it should be. The stuff they play today....blah!!

[WildflowerNJ]

I am going to have to check his music out....:035:

[Refugee]

Leroy was a cutie and so was that guitarist of his. Reminded me of actor Eric Bana.

Glad they had talent as well. Can't stand openers that suck, lol.

[LizzieB]

Did he really, Sharon? That makes sense. He's got the groove. Now, that's country music the way it should be. The stuff they play today....blah!!

Kind of like bad rock bands with a fiddle? LMAO at Tom!!
