DaysBetween

I found out today that Bryan Adcock aka Blinky aka Blink Dawg and THE man on lights from '99 through sometime around '16(?) passed away this past weekend. You can find the obit here. I met the man in '99 at my third show at Grasshopper in Erie, PA where he basically hunted me down, asking if I was the guy who video taped the previous show at Penn State's Crowbar. I most certainly was; you can see clips of both shows, among many others, here. Bryan was awesome to hang with before and after shows, and I was happy to give him copies of the vids in those early days as he was honing his craft. I loved when he flooded the stage with color. Bryan had such infectious enthusiasm! He will be missed.

3/19/26 Stage AE Pittsburgh, PA Original tonight (!) LTGTR > Deal Black-Throated Wind Dire Wolf Easy To Love You All Over Now I'll Take A Melody BIODTL Pride Of Cucamonga Weather Report Suite > Let It Grow > Might As Well Dark Star > Unbroken Chain > Lost Sailor > Saint of Circumstance > He's Gone > Drumz > Tomorrow Never Knows > Corrina > SOTM > Lovelight E: Masters Of War SO much fun! And a rather different show. Deal and Let It Grow (and Might As Well) were the highlights in the first, in my opinion. But I loved how we went from Easy To Love You.. right into Used To Love Her (But It's All Over Now). That was a funny touch. Set opening Dark Star.. Wow! Transition out of Unbroken felt like more Dark Star, but it smoothly went into Lost Sailor. He's Gone was incredible. Great crowd action/reaction as the tune kept building up. After Space there was another great transition into a subdued Tomorrow Never Knows. "Subdued" is NOT a critical term here. TNK was just Lisa, Barraco and Jeff and very psychedelic. Just dripping with it. Lovelight was Pig style and sung by Barraco. I swear I one point he waived the others singers off so he could rap. Very improvisational, even more than usual. Before the encore we were thanked for sharing the music that we all love, music that we as a people really need right now, and then we got treated to a POWERFUL Masters of War (Dylan). Whew! I nabbed the whole show and will post to the archive asap but it will take a few days. Work, etc. And it's been a while since I've done that kind of thing

TRon: I met you 24 years ago haha at Palookaville I think it was in Santa Cruz when I used to video a BUNCH of shows. At any rate, THANK YOU for all you have done these past DECADES!! And thanks to anyone and everyone that will be maintaining the Forums in his stead. Much appreciated!

Shakedown C.C. Rider Loser Me & My Uncle > Maggie's Farm Strange Man Lazy River Road The Race Is On Tom Thumb Blues Loose Lucy Stranger Scarlet > Fire Gimme Some Lovin > Easy To Slip > Drumz > Fat Angel > Casey Jones > Throwing Stones > Morning Dew Love The One Your With **99% sure that was Fat Angel by Donovan. Never heard it before, and so I did a google search on the lyrics that I heard as it was happening All good all show long but I was really digging the little extra that many of the 1st set tunes had, like the C.C. Rider, Maggie's, and that STRANGER. What is it about Pittsburgh shows and that song? It always just RIPS here.

Had to leave after the 1st set Sunday (lots to do Monday morning). Saw that there was a lot of rain on the way, according to the radar. Did that rain come, and if so, how hard? Sunday was supposed to be the bad weather day, but it wasn't bad all at, unless it finally came during set 2. GREAT shows though. Loved all the old stuff the first two nights.
