Topic: Rock Candy Funk Party Dec 29-31 ie 2014-2015 World Tour ;)

Fantastic time last night at the Baked Potato for the first night of a three night run. Joe was all smiles, enjoying himself as was the rest of the band. These guys just have so much fun playing this music. So great to see everyone! Had a wonderful time hanging out with the Bonaspuds and nice time chatting with the guys in the band. They played 5 new songs last night. It was so great to hear them and I know they will also only get better over the course of the next few nights. This next album is going to be killer!! Bob was selling new shirts last night that were very tongue in cheek that said "RCFP 2014-2015 World Tour" and had listed on the back the dates for these shows as well as a bunch of random cities with no dates. At the bottom was a phone number to call for booking info. The number got you in touch with the National Weather Service. All a big joke. Joe and the guys do have a sense of humor smile

They were joking. But you never know what the future might bring.

Re: Rock Candy Funk Party Dec 29-31 ie 2014-2015 World Tour ;)

is there any way to get one of those T-shirts if you arent at the gigs? Will they go up on RCFP's store, or in the JB store?

Re: Rock Candy Funk Party Dec 29-31 ie 2014-2015 World Tour ;)

Two great sets, thanks for getting these up so quickly!

Thanks for the vids Natasha. My vids won't get up until we return from Vegas since even if I could get this mac to fly the net here is deadly slow in the hotel. 15 minutes to up a photo to Facebook so you can just imagine what a vid would take. What a blast hanging with the BonaSpud crew and the band on Monday. Killer music once again of course. For the players out there, Joe had his vintage gear hooked up. His Dumble ODS and a Bassman with some kind of fancy processor delay rig sitting between them and zero pedals, just a switch on the floor. His Goldtop was the instrument on night one, The Runt on night two.

Another fantastic night last night. First set was definitely the stand out with a whole bunch of the new songs. The soloing Joe is doing at these shows are the most mindblowing experiences. I seriously don't know how he does it. It's like we're transported to a whole different dimension and with Tal drumming away like a madman along with him. When this whole band is going full speed ahead it's not a freight train, it's a freakin' rocket ship! Joe was using "The Runt" tonight. A 1960 burst with the most awesome tone. Phil got to watch Mike change out all the strings on it before the show and he let Phil keep them. Really cool. Joe ended up breaking strings on two different guitars on one song. It's no wonder with the bends and fierceness he was putting into his playing. Quite something to watch the change out of guitars while the song was going on. Really wish I could get that video up right now, but during the day, for some reason, the upload speed is horrendously slow. 500 minutes for one video. That's why I've been doing them late at night after the show. Then it only takes 20 minutes per song. So here are some from the Early show that I was able to get up last night before going to bed at practically 3:30 in the morning.

Thanks a lot for these videos! Out of the new songs Uberstation appears to be my favorite.

Thank you so much for sharing your seat with us!! 

The new songs are great!!!  Love when it takes a few plays to sink in to comprehend and fully appreciate the greatness here!  Come on RCFP 2!!

Best New Year's Eve Ever!! Sooo much fun at the Baked Potato last night! Justin had the place all decorated with balloons and things hanging from the ceiling. Band was in top form. Joe played "Spot" on this night. They played "Heartbeat" right up to the Midnight hour. Joe had to cut his solo a little short, kept checking his watch, then it wasn't quite time so they kept doing another round of the ending building it more and more until it was exactly Midnight, celebration & merriment ensued. It's all on the "Heartbeat" video. Such a fun time. I tried to get up as many songs as possible before the internet has now ground down to practically a halt. I guess everyone in the LA area is now awake and using the bandwith. I'll put up the rest after we get back home this weekend.

Here is what I got so far:

Heartbeat with the midnight celebration http://youtu.be/keGmrGwQOoQ

Mr Clean Joe does a very different solo than usual which sounded really cool http://youtu.be/nXKTbhylZ2U

Ode To Gee http://youtu.be/R8xn36CtpuY

While there we also had a good time hanging with Mike Hickey. Phil watched him change the strings on "The Runt" and got the leftover strings. On the third night, Joe was playing "Spot" and Phil and I both hung out with him while he was stringing "Spot" got some nice photos. Also got a really nice photo with all the guys in the band but Joe. At the Baked Potato we don't bug Joe for photos. It's one of the only places he can be somewhat free from people hassling him for photos and signatures. It's a very low key kind of place.
