Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (Page 12 of 14)

And here I'd thought you'd gotten over it...
Hopin' for ya George. She's worth the wait.

Thanks for the heads-up, Tom. I would dearly love to, but in all honesty I can't see myself persuading her in the woods into such a long (and expensive) road trip, especially when she's not exactly as Grace ga-ga as I am.    I think it would be something like a six hour drive for us.

I will definitely be over for the Chesapeake Bay Fest (Dana Fuchs and Little Feat) on May 21-22, because we have been treated to VIP tickets    and I'll probably stay for the Western Maryland in Hagerstown, which is on the same days as Mountain Jam. I'll broach the subject, but I ain't holdin' my breath....

edit - this may be of interest to y'all over there - http://artistsden.com/season3/

Wouldn't miss you for the world, Tom! 

Let me know exactly how long you'll be in town here with regard to potential local shows. We can probably do better than the BK. 

Anyone need a ticket for tonight?  I've had a last-minute cancellation and have an extra.  If you're interested and local, please call my cell at (deleted per the great editor).

George:  Actually, I had already called Bob before I posted this, who said he had been unable to purchase a ticket and therefore was committed to the four-letter word (w-o-r-k) but that you would love to have it, though unable to make the show unless a Star Trek transporter was available.

I was able to make a lovely young lady happy by selling her my ticket standing in line, so all's well.

As far as the show....all I can say is "WOW"!!!!   This is about my 7th or 8th time seeing Grace and the show, like Joe's, keeps getting more impressive.   The "new" band is as tight as a drum and pours electricity into every song.  Considering the vocal histrionics that Grace employs, I'd think she'd burn out her voice but it seems like it's getting better and better.  As this was the last show of a long tour, they really pulled all the stops out. 

Unfortunately for me, as I was fighting a cold and didn't have the energy to stand for 4 hours, I managed to find a "seat" on an upstairs tiered stair but in a place where even standing, I couldn't see Grace at the keys, but could see her when she took center stage with vocal mic alone or guitar.  I did move later in the show and was able to see a little better between heads (I'm vertically challenged:(  )

George:  As indicated above, since I was under the weather, I didn't stick around after the show to chat with anyone so have no info as to plans for visiting Europe.   As she tours the US maniacally, shouldn't be too hard to schedule a show to coincide with a trip to the Maryland woods.   Good luck!

Once again, don't miss an opportunity to see this amazing performer and her band.

You're slipping, George - I had to go to page two to find this!

Saw these guys again last night.  Great show, the energy level is incredible, and Benny Yurco makes me dizzy.  First time seeing Cat - she was not with the band when I saw them in December due to illness - and she adds another dimension to the show.  She is absolutely beautiful, and an excellent bassist.

Point-and-(crap) shoot cameras only, so not the greatest quality pictures:

I talked to the guy working the merch table - as of right now there are no plans for Europe in the near future.  Sorry guys.

They're playing Boston in August if you want to make a trip over.

Thanks for the heads up, dear Sandy! I would have missed the opportunity otherwise - now I'll be online ready to order for Balmer at 10 am on Friday, April 8! 

Psst Jane, you can head bang to (some of) Grace too - wanna come? 

Thanks Spider, no idea how I missed that.
