Yes, ist works! Thank you, livin´thing!

I miss ZZ too. He is a great guy. He posts on FB from time to time. I would see him at shows all over the country. He went for a couple of years there where he took a leave of absence from his job and followed the band around on tour - TPATH & Mudcrutch.  I don't know how many shows he went to but I know it was more than half on each tour.  It was great because he would come here and share his videos with us.  Oh, for the good old days when we were able to travel more. It was so much fun!

Well, I tried for Washington DC but it sold out quickly and that's probably for the best. I'm hoping they will broadcast one of the Festival shows live.  That would do me!

Cool!  I will do that!

That is so cool!  I love that poster!

Thanks for the Knobbin' Knews Marion   I feel so fortunate to have been able to see them once! Also enjoying the speculation on arrangements; this animated video of Rank Zappa talking about how he ran his band definitely has some insight: aisle or window seat?

The meet-up before the Nashville show has been confirmed,!!! We have the roof-top patio at Baileys located on Broadway right around the corner from the Ryman and kinda across the street from Bridgestone Arena from 3PM until showtime. The nice people are going to have some corn hole set up for those of us who need to work off some nervous energy. They are open until 3AM if anybody would like to go back for a few drinks and a bite after the show. Please remember to tip the nice people!!! Looking forward to seeing everyone!!! 

I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the show at The Sweetwater Music Hall. I had been to the old Sweetwater venue years ago and loved its charm and sense of history so I was disappointed to hear it closed. I didn't know what to expect from the new location but this place was really wonderful! It has a small restaurant with inside and outside dining and a separate hall for the concerts, mostly standing room only. There is a long bench along the wall for seating which was great because the back of the seats had a wide ledge running along the top which we were able to sit on and it was the perfect perch for a clear view of the stage. The acoustics in the room were amazing as well. Perfect, really. I went to the show with Amber and Sharon and met up with Brandon, his wife Sarah, and Linda (DoxieJo) and Ames and it was a pleasure!



Amber, Sharon, Ames and I had meet and greet tickets. It was really weird to us to have special tickets to get to talk to the band. It all seemed so formal and we were really nervous for some reason. We almost backed out and said forget it but we went anyway. haha! The meet and greet was at a different place near the venue in a cool garden setting outside and was held during opening act. It turned out to be really fun and the guys were so nice and funny. All day long we were trying to think of things to ask them. I even had a little pad of paper to write down questions but we couldn't think of a thing so we just ended up chatting about whatever. It was just so good to see them again! It had been 3 years since I was able to make it out there so it was really special. We talked some about the music and the show at the City Winery and how long we had been coming to see them and the first time we met Lance and Matt at Vinny's in Bakersfield. Of course the subject of when they were going to put out a CD came up and Mike said it wouldn’t be anytime soon. It would be after his other contracts were up so we will just have to be satisfied with our boots I guess. I still don’t understand why he can’t do both and why his wonderful music has to sit on the shelf. It just maddening to me!! WHY, WHY, WHY? I mean, some of my favorite Dirty Knobs songs are 15 years old and have not been put out in a professional format! That’s crazy!!

The night before at the City Winery we chatted with them outside for a few minutes and I requested that they play Blow Up My Stereo at Sweetwater so Mike said they would open the show with it. That was exciting because I was finally able to get a good video of that song and it will make a nice audio track for my collection.



The fans were really great at the show and there was a high energy vibe. Everyone was having a great time. The Coffis Brothers and Petty Theft were spotted in the crowd watching the show and you could just tell how much they admired their hero. Speaking of the Coffis Brothers, after the meet and greet we caught the last few songs of their set and OMG were they so good! I wish I’d seen the whole show! I bought both of their cds and I’ve been listening to them all week. Those guys are going to make it big someday. They were so nice too!

I recorded several videos which I will share here. Over the years (15 years) I asked Mike time and again if I could share the videos I recorded but he would always say no and I don’t know why! But this time I didn’t ask! I think these things need to be shared with fans, especially since we don’t get to have professional recordings and the Knobs don’t travel outside of California. There are fans all over who miss out so this is my gift to you all. I will post the videos here in this thread as I get them uploaded.


The show was so good and I love the new songs. I think my favorites right now are “Goin’ Down” and “Sister Gypsy.” Mike had this white guitar and I’m sure someone will be able to tell us what it was, but and he made it growl real low. “Senor” was fabulous too! I’m sorry I didn’t get it on video! I swear this music touches my soul and I love it so much! All of the songs were great!! Ape always blows me away. I loved “Easy Wind” and “Don’t Think Twice”. Swampfox and Lance, awesome rhythm section! I love how much this band loves to play together.

I have boot of the entire show thanks to Brandon. If anyone is interested, I will share. Just drop me a PM and I will send you the link.

Last night's weather actually.  Not a drop of rain on shore though.

So excited to have just purchased my VIP ticket to the opening night of Mudcrutch 2016 at Ogden Theater in Denver, Colorado on May 26tth. My first concert going alone but super excited to hang with fellow fans. Anyone else going????

Would love to join you Susan. Alas, I couldn't find anyone to give me a complimentary flight... 😣

I scored front row at the Ryman in Nashville! I'm so excited! We're having a huge meet-up before the concert. If anyone here would like to join us, let me know and I'll give you the details.

What a nice photo!  Thanks for sharing, Susan!

I just love love this picture!  

I don't recall seeing this one before!  Mudcrutch!
 

I'm intrigued to see that Bill Flanagan has a show.  He's the editorial director of MTV/VH1 and is one of my favorite music commentators.  It would be interesting to see what he's playing.

Nope, I jump on any single they offer the minute I can get my hands on it!  😎 I'm starved for new music from my favorite guys!

I have always loved the original. There is just something so pure about it and living in Florida for most of my life, I know lots of southern guys like that. There was just something in Tom's voice back then that let me picture the whole scene vividly and I connected with that song.  The new version, all polished up is good too and I know I will play it a lot but the original is still my favorite. 
 

I may even try for this. A nice road trip down the west coast topped with a Mudcrutch night. Sounds tempting.

And boy, was that good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
