So I'm actually in Pensacola listening to music, but it's just mariachi because I'm at Cactus Cantina having an incredibly average meal. I will throw it up for my 25 oz Yuengling and this fire roasted Jalepeno that's kicking my mouth's ass. Tomorrow is a run to the Big Bend, Ocala, Titusville and finally Cocoa Beach. Thursday is a run to 5 different counties in Central Florida, followed by a return to Pensacola. I'm still thinking Our Lady Peace on Thurs and probably am hitting this Chef Besh wine and food thing down on the beach Friday night. 90% of the world is worse than Pensacola which is why it's my 2nd home. But I fully agree with the general state of concerts here. It wasn't always that way, but Derp rules the show now. Of course there is always my cousin who does door to door sing-o-grams.
Oh man. I grew up on Our Lady Peace. They play the Buffalo area a lot so I have seen them 5 or 6 times now. One show, Raine was walking across the bar at Water Street in Rochester. Such good times. Another my future sister in law drove us to a free show in Lockport and my brother and I were drinking (heavily) waiting for 4am all show, had to go to the bathroom and they started playing it while we were in line but somehow made it all the way to the stage before the song ended (after nearly getting in a fight with a line jumper). Clumsy is one of my favorite albums ever. Enjoy the show.

Have you ever been to Cocoa Bach before? Growing up on the Gulf Coast I was kinda spoiled by the Destin beaches, so I wasn't a fan of the east coast beaches at all. Although the one's closer to Melbourne are a hell of a lot nicer, and there's a lot of good restaurants at Port Canaveral.
Thanks Moten. You and I may be the only people who know Lockport, NY. Thinking Jabco and I may be the only ones who have ever been to Lockport, LA except that one dude out the bayou who pops up from time to time. I never saw them so it's a scratch off the list show for me. 2015 has been one of those with The Who, WSmfnP, Slipknot, Filter, Coal Chamber, etc among a bunch of newer acts as well. ---------- Jackwagon,
I have never been to Cocoa Beach. I have been to Daytona and maybe as far south (on the Coast) as Canaveral Natl Seashore. I have been to St. Augustine and Jax Beach many, many times. And we launched Cruise to the Edge out of Ft Lauderdale which is way farther south, but I never got to the beach (same thing the one time I was in Miami). I really wish I had more time to enjoy it than just sleeping there, but I'm gonna be exhausted after driving about 12 hours tomorrow having to visit so many properties. Hopefully I wont be to zonked to go out to dinner. It looks like there are a few good seafood restaurants down that way. I'm like you in that I have spent far more time on the Gulf Coast than the East Coast. But I've never had a bad time at either which is why I bought a place here in Pensacola. Plus it's only 2:45 away from my house in nola.

Well if you do get a chance to go out and grab a meal, I'd definitely recommend Grills. One is right there in the port, and then there is another somewhere closer to Melbourne. One of the best seafood places I've been to.
lol @ Har Mar. That guitar playin' weiner is great, forgot about that pic.
Damn Esteban, didn't realize you did this!! Give me some hetti deetz on it. Raging? Metamucil passed around late night? Everyone in bed by 8pm? Young nude chicks? Older nude chicks? People trippin' everywhere? I remember when they announced this and wanted to go, but I couldn't afford it and didn't know what the crowd would be like. Kinda assumed it would be a mean age of 50ish and not partying very hard. So jealous that you saw Nektar, that is one of my favorite bands to play if I'm spinning records gettin' weird late at night with friends.
^^ These guys clearly came to get down.
This years CTTE lineup has a Mike Portnoy tribute to Chris Squires. *drool* Mike Portnoy is basically the last of the epic drummers I have to see, aside from Vinny Coliauta, which you never know when that will happen as he can play for anybody at a minutes notice.
Longinus and I saw Joe Satriani in P'Cola a couple years ago and I hadn't looked up who his band was, and lo and behold, there is Mike Keneally on guitar and Marco Minneman on drums. Score.
Just noticed the Cocoa Beach, FL reference in here. It's bothering me now because I met some super hot chick recently who was from there and her Dad was a rocket surgeon down there, and she seemed surprised I knew about Cocoa Beach (I Dream of Genie namedrop). Zero clue where I met her at or the context. Feel like it may have been at Landing Festival? Damnit.

Herbie Hancock at Jazz Fest in 2012? Don't tell me you were at The Eagles.
We both walked up to The Eagles for one song, which happened to be Hotel California. And as soon as it was over, we both were like "welp, I'm good on that" and walked to the tents. I was @ Herbie Hancock.

Oh shit, I was most definitely there. I split the Herbie set up with the Levon tribute next door. That was a super bummer because that was going to be my first time seeing Levon.
Missed the band shoutouts I guess. SCORE! Thanks for the deetz, had no idea.
Joe's Garage is my favorite drumming on any studio album ever. Packard Goose is my favorite song ever probably.
EDIT: Damn, I still can't believe I didn't know that. Thanks again. We saw the Eagles but for like 10 minutes. We walked up as Hotel California started, watched for that and the next song and bailed. I mainly wanted to be able to tell my Dad "I saw the Eagles breaux."
My Zappa Alumni seen't in concert is getting stout now, still got a ways to go. Need another Grandmothers show down South that has Bunk & Buzz Gardner in the linuep.

longinus I did the same w/The Eagles actually. I hustled around the track the long way to catch a couple of MMJ songs at Gentilly too, then bolted for the tents.
@caddyshaq That was also gonna be my first time seeing Levon Helm. I passed up a show in Chicago while we were up there for St. Patty's Day since we figured we'd see him at Jazz Fest. Turns out Donald Fagen, Paul Barrere, & Fred Tackett were playing with him too, but I had just seen the show on jambase or something so didn't know. Totally blew it.
Levon had played Mobile in 2011 at the Saenger, but tickets were $80 so I skipped it. This was back when you could wait until after the opening band and just walk in the unattended front door. It was a Sunday and I just said screw it assuming I'd see him somewhere else. Def blew it.
Esteban & Moten - i have OLP's first album and saw them on that tour. I remember not liking what i heard from the 2nd album and haven't seen or heard anything since...glad they're still around.
Blotter - is the new Zappa dvd going to be good? I'm not remotely at your level with him...i've listened to a couple shows and seen ZPZ once.
...and i saw a Filter reference. ..met the guitarist last year, or actually it was during march madness '15. He lives in my buddy's high rise. Spent 30 bizarre minutes in his place. He had at least 50 guitars in his living room and was on a ride i didn't care to climb aboard.
Solidrock- The DVD is going to be balls out awesome, definitely. It's considered the Holy Grail for Zappa freaks, as it is a full show from what many consider to be his greatest band during a classic run of shows in '73. Zappa really hit a powerful stride once he recovered from his major injuries sustained being thrown off the stage at the Rainbow Theater by the deraged boyfriend of a female fan in '71. He really took off with the jazz fusion when he had Jean-Luc Ponty in the band, and by Fall '73 he had the classic lineup with Chester, Ruthie, Nappy et. al
It was supposed to come out like 35 years ago too.
ZFT released the videos for Montana and Dupree's Paradise several years back as a teaser, and they were great. Dupree's is one of those epic Zappa songs that never made it onto a studio album. The best example of it that is official is from the YCDTOSA Vol. 2: The Helsinki Concert from '74. Def a top ten Zappa song, it has a story opening about a sketchy late night jam session bar, has one of his best melodies, then just goes off into the stratosphere with crazy jazz jamming.
I didn't get the impression that the DVD was going to be a complete show. It looked like they were going to be taking songs from each of the 3 Roxy shows. The total run time might be the equivalent of 1 show, but it's def not going to be like 1 of those shows from start to finish. They should have released all 3 shows. Either way, the blu ray is pre-ordered. Should be delivered on Oct 30th which means I could watch it saturday morning while slarming and getting dressed for Halloween, before going to the fest.

I guess they did pick and choose.
1) Cosmik Debris 2) Medley: Penguin In Bondage / T'Mershi Duween / The Dog Breath Variations / Uncle Meat / RDNZL 3) Inca Roads 4) Medley: Echidna's Arf (Of You) / Don't You Ever Wash That Thing / Cheepnis - Percussion 5) Cheepnis 6) Medley: I'm The Slime / Big Swifty 7) Be-Bop Tango (Of The Old Jazzman's Church) 8) Don't Eat The Yellow Snow 9) Father O'Blivion
Don't really get the Echidna's > DYEWTT > Cheepnis segue. No Village of the Sun?! Blasphemy.
It also leaves out the Montana and Dupree's that were teased. The best guess is probably that there will be a vol. 2 out sometime next year maybe. Now that Ahmet is in charge of the Vault I'm sure more things will be coming out. There is almost endless material to release.
That track 2 medly looks hetti as fuck. Dog Meat is my favorite instrumental from that era, and you can never ever go wrong with RDNZL.
Still hoping to stay at the Seawind for next year but might not have enough people joining to afford it. Can you guys give me some places on the beach that are under a mile away from the gates on either side? I remember San Carlos was next door but thats about it.

Ocean reef. You can't get any more on the beach if you can get a waterfront unit. And there's several members on here staying here. We gotta take over the pool. My only gripe is there is no hot tub but Bob is just down the way so I'm sure we can hop in his.

Most units are taken there but I found one or two. Gonna give it another week or two and make a decision.

Sweet. Yea the lady and I are kicking around the idea of throwing together a wedding for that week down there but it's really up to her and by that I mean the lineup.
Word. I went to the first one which was 2013. It was headlined by Yes, except not Jon Andersen, the singer from Glass Hammer. They did 2 shows, 1 was The Yes Album and Close to the Edge, the second was Close to the Edge and Going for the One. Both were great shows, but I found it a bit lounge lizardy compared to opening night in the round Pensacola 1991 and Andersen, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe (with Tony Levin) in Houston in 88 or 89.
Cruise was mostly older people and from the EU and South America. Highlights for me were the 2 UK shows (Wetton, Jobson, Bozzio). Also the cruise kicked off with a Jobson & Wetton perfomance of Fallen Angel and some other song off of Larks Tongues in Aspic (Book of Saturday?). Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited sets were stellar. Carl Palmer's EL&P Legacy was a 3 piece instrumental. They did Tarkus one night and I think Pictures at an Exhibition another. Just fucking dynamite. IO Earth was freaky, and then I think someone in Tangerine Dream got hurt badly forcing them to pull out.
It was great, but it was a ship mixed with other people just going on the cruise. Families and pigs at the dining trough (which I will plead guilty too also). We ran into all musicians on the ship except we only saw Bozzio when UK played. We rode the elevator with John Wetton coming in from Ocho Rios and asked him if he got off in Jamaica, but he said that he had been there 20 or 30 years ago and left half his brain cells. I met Chris Squire and shook his hand. It was the equivalent of a size 20 shoe. We rapped with Randy Jackson of Zebra a few times, and threw up peace signs to all the other guys as we encountered them.

NICE @ Bozzio w/ UK. That must have been great. Too weird about families and randos there.
Do you mean Eddie Jobson the electric violin player? That's the thing about all the vintage prog bands is it's hard to keep up with the rotating lineups.
The first time I ever saw him was on this SNL clip: fast forward to the 1 minute park (Keepin' it trill with the Zappa today!)
I met Chris Squire and shook his hand. It was the equivalent of a size 20 shoe.
That last time I saw Yes in Biloxi, he looked like Foghorn Leghorn bouncing around with a bass rested up against his man titty. RIP
Lmao. His kid was maybe upper 20s/early 30s with stringy hair and looked like a speed freak. He was cool and told me and Tommy what's up every time he saw us. Haha. I drink like a fish but never in my life did I think I could consume that much per day. A highlight was running into Zebra and their attorney numerous mornings with drink in hand and them just in disbelief. Haha. I also made some southern Asian guy turn on the Heiniken tap one morning at 630. He could not believe someon wanted alcohol for breakfast.
Yeah that Jobson. 3rd favorite violinist after Grapelli and Ponty and 3rd favorite keyboardist after Emerson and Wakeman. He started in Roxy Music, toured with King Crimson in 73 or 74 and played with Zappa. Then it was original UK (Wetton, Jobson, Bruford, Holdsworth) then the 3 piece which was Wetton, Jobson and Bozzio. After that he did a solo album by his band Zinc (another green world) and I don't know after that til we saw him. Fucking unreal violinist and keyboardist.
Wooooooooooo officially booked at Ocean Reef. East side what up?! Got a hell of a deal on this place I can't believe it.
Fuck yes! Already been getting supplies. Inflatable hot tub on the beach, check. So are you on the east side of ocean reef? I know we have the corner unit on the west corner of ocean reef.
