in perusing my newest batch of FB shows (and there's a lot of them, probably ten or more!) i've come across a classic live moment which i just had to share with y'all.
about three songs into the bottleneck, lawrence, ks show from may of 2001, FB begins 'mr. grieves' and when he gets to the "what's that floatin' in the water" line, the crowd immediately responds with "old neptuna's only daughter" at this point FB stops singing, because apparently he was going to wait an additional bar before continuing with the next lyric. he playfully admonishes the crowd:
"wait a minute.. no no no no.. this is the new version.. this
is the fucking new version.. this is the new rich gilbert is
fixing something version.. this is the fucking hold your horses
version.. you can't speed it up - it's the new.. version.. it's
slooower.. more patient.. more mature.. older.. wiser.. version!
fuck!"
and then he launches into the rest of the song. admittedly (and no offense to charles here) he sounds a little drunk.
it's a great audience recording - and a real dave philips treat, as it seems to have been recorded from his side of the stage - so all his guitar work - especially the pedal steel stuff - is loud and beefy and right up at the front of the mix.
look for it on my trade list.

I'll trade you Aki Berg and Johnas Hogland for that there song.
Actually that sounds pretty cool considering in Toronto he didn't say too much at all (well at the three shows I went to).
So how would I obtain some of your material???
I know it is winter, but, never trust a man who wears a fur coat. |

| Hey Big...I have this show. Are you sure it's Mr. Grieves? It's listed as track 14, and FB certainly plays it, but there is no such interuption in my version, in the very same show. Does he try it earlier in the set or something? |

| Weird. I guess I have another Lawrence show from around the same time. Boy, I'd like to hear this one, if only for FB's tirade---morbid curiosity, I suppose! Thanks for clarifying, BG. |

| I don't wanna sound like a leech, but is there anyway you can upload that one track onto the ftp? If not, I can send you a lock of Frank Black's hair for the track. |

i've contacted mr. noisy and will upload the track as soon as he lowers his firewall.
then it's up to him as to whether he puts it on the FTP.
keep checking back, loyal readers.

Um, is there more to contacting you than using your email address, because that has yielded me nothing so far.

uh, i've replied to your "johndietzel@yahoo.com" address at least twice... did you not get those e-mails?
i am interested in trading, i do have the alice demos, i'm not terribly interested in pixies boots - unless they're exceptional.
give me another buzz - we'll work something out.

i'm waiting for a reply from dave noisy...
i'm also going to upload a freshly edited version of the 6/24/93 radio show with they might be giants. i've excised every tom calderone moment, every nanosecond - the new version is so seamless and perfect, it sparkles like a diamond.

Thanks BG,
Sorry, I don't get what's going on with the email. I will try again. Tom Calderone is one annoying beatch though.

| Thanks for finding this, Big Galoof. That is just priceless. And he does sound a bit, ahem, fortified. Nice moment. |
