That would be a great show.  I don't like when singers bitch about people talking though.  I want to punch Jeff Tweedy in the mouth every time he whines about it.  Either these people paid to see you and they're talking for a second, or they paid to see someone else on the bill and aren't interested in what you're doing.  No harm no foul either way.  You telling them not to talk isn't going to make them anymore interested.  Or, just play something so amazing they can't help but shut up and listen.

End rant.

PS: Langhorne Slim is really awesome live.  Nobody talked.

Great to see you too! Have fun tonight in O-town.  Gonna try to take a nap before I head back to Tampa.  If I was smarter, we'd have taken two cars.

Funny night.  Lisa (hecticeyes) gave Austin one of the cupcakes I made for her  birthday and he said he couldn't be bribed not to shush us during his set.  We didn't get shushed even though Austin did blame me for playing the "longest most drawn-out song ever" (I love Darlin!!).  Austin and Mike Hale are setting up what sounds to be a potentially awesome house party tour where they play random people's houses for like $5 a person. 

Langhorne, however, did stop during the intro to a song to tell people he was trying to sing and could everyone please be quiet.  His show is awesome with the new keyboardist/banjo player.  There was blood dripping down his banjo by the end of it.

Langhorne has a keyboard/banjo player now?? Who plays so hard he bleeds??? Must see this show.

Maybe one day I'll care if people are talking while I'm playing.  Maybe it'd be different if I was singing.  I'm just happy people are there. 

The house party tour is a great idea too.  Was just talking to a buddy of mine about how we missed going to house parties and - in some cases - a full band would be set up in the living room.

Yeah his name was David Moore.  No idea who he was but he was AWESOME!  Totally makes me excited about the Revival this week.

I've never been to a house party that actually had a band.  We just let Dazed and Confused play on tv and listened to Van Halen.  This was in the late 90s, btw.

In high school we used to have house parties that had no drugs or alcohol at them, not because we were "straightedge," we just didn't know any better.  Any friends of ours who had bands would set up and play or people would play acoustic.  It really was the good old days.  This was the 90s too, btw.  Smiley

As long as you listened to Van Halen and not Van Hagar, your parties were all right.

I loved that Nerf Herder record.

Didn't feel like starting a new thread for this.  Here's a link to a video I took at the Revival last night (which was like 5 hours long!).  It's a pretty funny song Jon and Frank wrote in Little Rock.

Got a review of the revival show?  I was going to go but I didn't get back from the Lucero show in Athens until 4:30am and was pretty much a zombie yesterday.  I wish the show was tonight instead of last night...

It was reallllly long.  I am totally at a loss for a set list of any type but it started out with about ten people on stage doing a couple Chuck songs and then like one of everyone else's songs.  Then everyone went off stage and they took turns doing solo stuff, occasionally calling someone else on stage to help out.  It was definitely a different setup than last time which is what made it last about 5 hours (we left at about 4.5 hours in).  They lost over half the crowd about halfway through the show.  I guess noone likes to stay out past midnight on a weeknight.

The music though, was awesome.  Sticks the Clown opened and also played with Zydepunks. They were pretty awesome if you're into the New Orleans style music and accordions, which I am always fascinated by.  Everyone else was fantastic, especially seeing as how I had only seen Jon and Chuck before.  Jon Gaunt and Digger Barnes only played the group stuff and when people called them on stage.  I think last year they played just about the whole time.  I finally got to hear Get Drunk live though Chad looked like he wasn't really feeling it and Jon was sick (and possibly drunk by that point).  We left before Chuck started his set, though it was probably close to curfew at that point so I'm not sure how much more they played.  There was talk of going to the Clairmont afterwards but who knows if that happened.

How was the Athens show? Rowdy?

I wrote a little review of the Athens show over in the past tour section under new tour reviews thread.  It was a blast.  It was shorter than the Atlanta show but tons of fun.  They didn't go on until midnight which shortened the set I think.  I was able to reconnect with three close friends who live up in Athens now so it was a special night for sure.  It Gets Worst At Night was the highlight for me, I'll never get tired of that song.  There has been some talk of driving to birmingham in a couple of weeks, but it's just tentative at this point. 

That's a LONG show for the revival tour.  I think the Atlanta and Birmingham revival shows I went to last year were only around 3 1/2 hours long.  Five hours is LONG.  I think the show in Atlanta last year started pretty early, like 8pm or so, and was over well before midnight.  I wish I would have gone last night but I doubt that I would have been able to enjoy myself since I was so tired.
