the mercury is a great venue, and yeah a great sound system. i played there a couple times in the mid 90’s. im not in NYC anymore. When I saw J there he was just acoustic, with Mike Johnson opening up for him, and they did a couple tunes together if i remember right.
musta been loud as that place aint big. even smaller than the star hill here in charlottesville.
sounds like a killer show. J rules.
yeah. i wish i was there for that.
the cville show was nice and small. very intimate setting. J just walked out after he was done. much different than seeing him at the old Ritz in NYC many many years ago. HUGE. or at NYC Irving Plaza.
as the soundguy said to me after the show in c’ville when he noticed all the kids trying to regain hearing ability by shaking their heads, "they’re lucky J didn;t have his 3 other stacks with him tonight"
I;ve been at those shows before.I also saw him once solo acoustic, with Mike Johnson opening. that was a small NYC affair a while back and incredible as well. Well what can J do wrong in my book? i cant think of anything.
hey thanks guys. i checked that out, and so far got the Wagon DLed. trying to figure out the rest now.
our town C’ville doesn;t usually get too many great rock acts. mostly neohippy jam band stuff ala dave matthews and lots quasi bluegrass. well that just aint my bag, so when legends like J show up or mike Watt, or upcoming John Spencer, i’m all over it. have to run to Richmond for more rock too.
yeah he’s always been loud as long as i have been a fan. i remember my old buddy from high school had an older brother who was in college back in the mid-late 80’s. up in CT i think. DIno was playing his college cafeteria, and warmed up just banging out Led Zep songs. He said ikt was unbelievable and way way loud. THats the way i like it. But these days (being 33) i gotta wear the plugs. still sounded great with them in.
Hey Maggotbrain!! wasn’t that a terrific show? i was there and am a long long time J/Dino fan. have seen J a buncha times over the years from huge events to intimate acoustic settings. it was too bad the turnout was kinda weak at starr hill though. kinda like when Mike Watt played there last year. these guys are legends.
Opening with "the Lung" just set the night in motion for me. probably my all time favf dino song. I am terrible with song names because i never read record/CD covers. but I really dug the new stuff he played as well. of course "Out There", "The Wagon", "Freak Scene" were fantastic. But the song of the night for me was "Sludgefeast" oh man was that great.
i stood back for part of the show, and came right up front for a few songs. I had plugs in as he was freakin’ loud!!! I think many folks who didn;t really know J were shocked how loud he likes to play. and likely didn;t hear right for at least a week. I hope you had some plugs in. or am i just a p*ssy?
did you feel the air being pushed outta that rig of his?? the whole band was great too, although i was hoping Watt would be on the Thudstaff. It was great seeing J after the show and just shaking his hand and saying "thanks from a long time fan".Now if C’ville could just keep getting some decent Rock acts. John Spencer will be cool.
