thought I was actually going to get the hell out of DC for the 4th, but since our power came back, I guess we're staying...oh well. | |

I used to live on Bard Ave right around the corner from 502 Henderson. That's been a bar for many years, but didn't used to be called a Union Hall. Wonder when it changed hands. Maybe in the last 3 or so years since I moved away from there... | |

oooh! You have to have Paul Revere and the Raiders in your on-deck circle, am I right Joe? | |

Star-Spangled Joe B today!!! Now all we need is Sandy on (or under) the Boardwalk. Happy pre-holiday to all on this side of the Pond! | |

Tornado:
Quite a coincidence, G. The bar use to be called the Wreck Room but changed hands and name about 2 or maybe 3 years ago, yes. It seems they're featuring bands more now. | |

See "A Face In The Crowd" for a different side of Andy Griffith. One of my favorites. | |

Yes, Tornado, they never had bands at the Wreck Room (they had billiards and video games), and the bar that was there before that in the 90s was just a hard-drinking bar, period. :-) Google street view still has the Wreck Room photo dated 2007. :-) (I lived there from 1991 till the late 00s.) Heck, in the mid 20th century it was a famous neighborhood candy shop (before my time, but its reputation lived on). Glad to see a new owner is upgrading the facility with an Irish theme and actual live entertainment! :-) | |

Speaking of that movie, I suppose we'll be hearing the Ribeye Brothers' "Lonesome Rhodes". | |

Paul Revere and Raiders took a country detour when the added Freddy Weller. He play stringbender and already had minor C&W hits. | |

Tornado:
Interesting G. And yes, a good sign and improvement it seems. Actually haven't been there yet but our drummer lives right down the street and likes the place, frequenting often. How about Liedy's? Ever go there? They have bands too but I think it generally draws an older crowd. | |

@Tornado: I would agree about the older Staten Islandy "white ethnic" crowd at Leidy's. It's located on Rochmond Terrace, the main road that runs along the river facing Bayonne on the other side of the water. It's only about a mile or so from the SI Ferry Terminal and easy to get to by bus, or easy to park near. Their claim to fame decoratively is they have a really old-time telephone booth in there, from maybe before 1950. Not far from there is Adobe Blues, which is Mexican food plus a bar plus music... The hardcore nightlife area on that "north shore" of Staten Island is along "Bay Street". Can get a bit rowdy on Friday and saturday nights in that area... | |

From a yelp review of Liedy's, about the famous phone booth: "There is even one of the last (if not THE last) authentic telephone booths, which was used by Madonna in making her video for "Papa Don't Preach", that was before Madge owned a cell phone." | |

Tornado:
Very True G. You definitely have sampled a good deal of Staten Island's nightlife riches. Didn't know that about Leidy's phone booth but a cool addition. Funny how Larry stlll ducks in there for calls. A true character. | |

Regarding load-ins, Dave Amels was stoked to discover a Hammond organ in hiding at the Park Bar so he didn't have to carry his own keyboard up three flights of stairs. | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 1:52pm

yeah, it's been stable for the past few minutes after cutting in and out during the interview. Great live set and interview!! | |

Nice one for Andy. I always loved that at the end of some shows he would light a cigarette and play guitar on the porch. | |

Did someone yell to Mike "Shut Up!" ? Classic... | |

Minnesota Jeff:
I wonder what dumb hat Love is wearing during this rambling. Captains hat? Day-glo pink promotional hat from a cruiseline? Mesh L.A. Lakers hat? | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 2:45pm
Cecile:
wow, that's some classic passive-aggreesion going on there. | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 2:47pm

Hey, don't get me wrong,The Beach Boys were one of the greatest American bands of all time;But Mike Love is an ass...period. | |

This tells you all you need to know about my sensibilty. The first version of this song I ever heard was in a Bryan Ferry video in '76. | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 2:51pm
Cecile:
this is great, though. Sounds like Richard Thompson. | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 2:53pm
s.p.b.:
Bryan Ferry coverd "Hard Rain" ? now that's surreal... | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 2:53pm
Cecile:
embarassment! | |
|

the video is is even more surreel, spb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zwBHd4kll0 | |

Tue. 7/3/12 2:58pm
still b/p:
For some reason, one of my only lasting memories of a '76 Roxy show is drummer Paul Thompson, with a towel draped over his head, seeming either resigned or annoyed when a heavy confetti shower onstage accompanied Hard Rain's Gonna Fall. | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 3:02pm
Cecile:
great show, joe | |
|
Tue. 7/3/12 3:03pm
s.p.b.:
Thank you for sharing that Ceclle I gotta check that out...I'm a huge EARLY era Roxy music fan.And still b/p Paul Thompson was always one of my favorite drummers. | |
