I saw Son Volt last night.

[GOPisEvil]

Excellent show! Jay and the guys know how to put on a show! :headbang:

Oh yeah...you CAN ask me anything, but you don't have to. :P

[usedtobesick]

1. along the ask me anything line....

we saw Bush's nephew got arrested in Austin the other day. You misbehaving again? You can't tell us you had nothing to do with it...

[GOPisEvil]

2. I did not direct the nice TABC officer to any particular drunk guy that

night, so stop saying that.

:yoiks:

[usedtobesick]

4. we believe you... we just have insincere smiley faces....

:eyes: glad they put on a great show. A lot of energy on stage.

[GOPisEvil]

6. They started off a bit slow, because they started w/ 5 new songs.

When they got into the old favorites, that's when the energy level picked up.

[usedtobesick]

9. they play Drown?

[GOPisEvil]

10. Yessir.

Along with Driving the View, Picking Up The Signal...just about every good Son Volt song!

11. I am trying to find their Retrospective 1995-200?

I guess I just need to go to our local "Cheap Disks" and pick one up, they have all the "other kinds of music" in stock. I love these guys

[GOPisEvil]

12. That's really good. I recommend it.

It's got some good covers and demos on it. I keep it in my car for when I need a Son Volt fix.

13. intheflow and I are heading into the mountains to see the Aspens

changing at tree line ~12,000 feet. I will pick it up on the way so she can "share in the experience"

[GOPisEvil]

14. I wish I could have gotten to Houston to see her.

:(

But, Son Volt is fantastic driving music, as you know. :)

[usedtobesick]

15. she has a great time with the Houston "clan"

they took very good care of her and I am very grateful. We are going to Washington DC next week so you can meet her/us there. I'll buy a beer or two!

[GOPisEvil]

16. Excellent!!

I'll be looking forward to meeting you both! :beer:

[usedtobesick]

17. see ya there.... we're on the way to the moutains...

[matcom]

3. ok, i'll ask

WHO? :shrug:

*Matcom feeling awfully old right now* x(

[GOPisEvil]

5. Actually, they've been around a long time.

First there was Uncle Tupelo. They broke up and from that came forth two bands: Wilco and Son Volt. Son Volt put out 3 cds and then went into hibernation, then "reformed" last year. I say "reformed" because it's the lead guy, Jay Farrar, and all new band members.

The new cd is really good, and a little more overtly political. Here's their website: http://www.sonvolt.net/

Boston - 10/23 :D

[usedtobesick]

7. I still listen to Trace in my jeep since it came out on tape

~1995 ish... Great sounds!

[GOPisEvil]

8. They played "Tear Stained Eye" and "Windfall" back to back.

:bounce:

[mitchum]

22. The guitar on the new album is particularly good because it is played...

by the incomparable Brad Rice.
Check out his new solo album "Karma Bed"

[xmas74]

18. What did they play?

I'm a fan.

[GOPisEvil]

19. All the popular old stuff and almost all the new stuff.

They played for 1:45 and a two-song encore. :thumbsup:

[xmas74]

20. Nice!

Now you have my envy.
I need to put something on right now by Son Volt.
