First off, thank you SO much to The Dirty Knobs and Nathan Fawley of Duesenberg Guitars USA for this wonderful night of music! Words tend to be hard for me to describe this show. How about f&%king awesome? :woot2:
I've been very fortunate to attend this special show for the last 3 years. Each year just raises the bar for the next. :heart:
I'm very sorry that I did not catch the name of the opening band, but they were fantastic! They jammed out and played some great tunes! Their singer was just amazing, not only could she sing but she played this very unique electric fiddle. Some tunes I remember ranged from Aretha's Chain of Fools with Peter Stroud on stage joining them, The Motel's Only The Lonely and I know it's a Melissa Etheridge song, but for the life of me, I can't think of the title. :nuts:
They had great energy and set the atmosphere up for the next band.
Then the Dirty Knobs (with Phil Jones on board) take the stage! Playing balls out, old tunes and new ones. At one point they had David Rawlings come out and join them on stage, then Marc Ford and also Peter Stroud. One special guest that joined them on stage for a rousing Bride of Frankenstein, was Mr. Darian Campbell himself. Then they had 6 guitars players, one mean ass bass and drummer, and also a percussionist on the stage, just imagine what this sounded like! Especially on a number like Neil Young's Powderfinger. WOW!
Some great tunes - I don't have a setlist in front of me, so I know I will miss some songs, but I'm sure others will fill the blanks.
Bride of Frankenstein, Powderfinger, Senor, Like A Hurricaine, Minimum Wage, If You Got To Go, Working Class Hero, Hey Bulldog, You Got To Hide Your Love Away, Humdinger, London, Loaded Gun, and a very special favorite, Battleship Chains. Also, Don't Wait Up For The Shrimp Boat, and Reelin' and a Rockin'.
Something very special happens when the Knobs play this party.
Very cool thing they did, was auction off a stage banner for money for CHOC, Children's Hospital of Orange County. Hope that gentleman who won has a place to hang it! It was big.
I had way too much fun, lol. I have no voice today, haha. I hope everyone who went had as much fun as I did. Thank you all for being there.
Nothing like a great venue, great friends (old and new) and awesome music!
