Those fellas owned pine plains ,that groove tony & levon laid down was a mile wide,& pat & chris nestled right in it & swung, Shuffle in E kicked it off & it was off & runnin,įrom chris' originals, like "water's risin" & "grass is greener" or "terrified & Lonesome or "Dress Blues" ( the last two about his stint in the marine corp in desert storm,)to all the great MUDDY tunes,, Lil Walter, Jimmy Reed,Lazy Lester,Jimmy Rodgers, There was magic in the air, in Pine Plains, last night,Īs the boss & me drove down route 199 there was a "carnival on the edge of town",a firemans night,me & the boss commented on it, he said he could smell the popcorn,Īs Tony Garnier & Pat drifted into the parking lot,friends & fans came to say hi,īill speight & his great family, made it seem like the old Joyous Lake nights, joe & doreen, all the WKZE staff,barb & barb,Pat's parents & chris' in-laws-toobe,it was THAT kinda night,Īs the fellas got ready, Tony entertained us with bob's moviemaking stories & him & Levon compared bob notes, pretty funny,īut the music was the reason we were there,& they didnt let us down, iv only seen them once unlike you guys across the pond, but musically they are and will remain diamonds and treasures enriching me now and forever.thanks for this wonderful new band family on the gb. they will always be for me first among equals regarding my fav. i got all the vinyls soon thanks to a job in a record store in a nearby city.rock of ages on triple vinyl? i treasure it to this day. then came richard's awsome rendition of ishbreleased, and a life long passion for the band was born. an older friend lent me before the flood.putting on side 2 the opening strains of cripple creek knocked me flat. i had to find some band music which in a welsh mining village was easier said than done. these musicians seemed to a young 15 year old to personify dignity and integrity. i mean, their names alone could have been carved out of granite. i was immediately intrigued by these 5 enigmatic characters who helped dylan change the face of rock music in the 60's. I got into the band in the late 70's when as a teenager ibought a book about dylan who i was getting into big time. I wish Id been able to make the Road Trip.Īny Levon sightings for the BB King's Blues Fest this year?įrom. (213.105.232.54) Sounds like another great Levon Helm & Barnburners show.
