he’s been on a pretty heavy tour schedule so i’m not surprised it caught up with him. get some rest j and get well soon
hi…your bands are lucky they have roadies, half the time j doesn’t even seem to have a roadie…perhaps he can use your help sometime <img>
hey rosa great review, glad the nite worked out so well for u! add my voice to the "shitty camera" brigade, although i’m looking at flashless options as i think my poor band acquaintances have suffered enough. as for Cobra Verde, John has been trying to be Mick Jagger since about 1989, maybe one of these years he’ll get it right <img>
hey psicom i bet that dude who didn’t know j. was some friend of someone who worked there and just got on the guest list for free drinks, or something. can’t imagine anyone not knowing j for goshsakes unless they’re really really young, even then most ppl have heard of him…he’s almost as well known as cobain!
Looks like J. is definitely not playing Denver with Cobra Verde on the 28th–no big surprise as he has to get over to Europe. That show is being announced at 15th St. Tavern and will feature Cobra Verde with Bluebird and Against Tomorrow’s Sky, but sadly, no J.
that sounds like a great show, wish George had played in Philly too but I had a good time so not complainin’ too much. your comment about "heck I’ll play bass" is funny because I think a lot of ppl would love to sling bass for those guys, this is the first time in 20 years that I’ve seen John Petkovic playing a bass onstage. anything for J <img>
Hello, Any confirmation on the second LA date for 10/27 and the one in Denver on 10/28? These dates are listed on the Cobra Verde official website. Are they J shows or just Cobra Verde solo or with someone else, or perhaps not yet confirmed? Thanks!
hey I saw Mudhoney last month (that was the J on a Stick show!) and would love to hear what J thinks of them…please post article or link if u can. thanks!
heh, yeah that earlier was me posting back to Wasco on the Watt list because he announced the show over there. flying cloud, I saw at least one taper setting up so hopefully someone will come forward with a recording of the gig—if not I’m sure they will play it again at future gigs. Some more about the show…the first band was some rock act with a female lead singer called Lo-Fi, it was kinda retro and kinda good. then Cobra Verde played—they were a little ragged, understandable because it’s first night of the tour and also they just replaced a guitarist on short notice (I think this might have been Jovan’s first show with the band), but they put a lot of heart into it anyway.
then J came on, wearing a T-shirt with a cow on it that must be really old or at least a long-running design, because I have a blouse and skirt from 1990 printed all over with the very same cow. I was sorry I hadn’t worn it! Although he played mostly the same songs he’s been doing, this show seemed more energetic than the one I saw a couple months back. Maybe it was just that the crowd was more pumped up having seen two rock bands open rather than one acoustic guy. near the end John and Mark came up and accompanied J as it had been announced they would do, which gave J a chance to cut loose on guitar for an extended period of time—Petkovic doesn’t play a very aggressive bass so there was nothing to get in J’s way and he just went on and on and on, ’twas great stuff especially for an old dino jr. fan like me, and the crowd was going wild. I think everybody expected more but J stopped and everyone left the stage. Then J came back and announced his shocking problem (earlier there seemed to be a lot of monitor trouble too–this club didn’t seem to have it together) and finished playing acoustic.
I was kind of expecting the CV guys to back J on one of the new album tracks so "Ammaring" was a pleasant surprise.
Oh yes, and people in Philadelphia are very nice…they share their cheese fries and stuff <img> lots of fun.ok, got to the show, had fun, now feeling silly because Philadelphia has good cab service like NYC. At least I made the cabbie who picked me up at the Northstar laugh all the way back to the hotel with my cab horror stories from other less enlightened cities. i’ll post a longer show review tomorrow or so, but for now, who all was there? I met and hung out with a whole bunch of super nice "Wasted" people but none of them were Freakscene people (or if they were they wouldn’t admit it <img> I was the lady in the flowered shirt rockin’ out on the stage steps during "Ammaring", I looked for someone with a video camera but couldn’t spot anybody…shout out if you were there!
