Fender's 50th anniversary party tonight - win tickets

pretty psyched for this. but i wonder, will it be sheer noise? melody? everyone together? we shall see.

anyone have an idea of set times?

is it sold out otherwise?

R-A-N-A-L-D-O. His name is Lee RANALDO. There is no "e" in Ranaldo.

F-I-X-E-D, thanks!

i hope its not awkward like some jam session...all those guys have the potential to wank it up even if they are legends.

I thought party was taking place at Ace Bar tonight?

stop trying to get people to go to your birthday party! mr ace bar....

Any idea of Set times?

Could this be the Jammy's of Jazzy's?? I hope not. Says all spaces does that mean I get to see Tom Verlaine at the tap bar?

i join the question: Any idea of set times? BV??

call the knit box office set time askers. they will know.

Why do people always ask about set times? Rock n roll doesn't follow a schedule, mannnn. If a band goes over, the next band goes on later. If a band decides to play a short set, the next band starts sooner.

Follow this formula - the venue will announce what time the event starts (in this case, 8). Assume that the first performer goes on promptly at 8 (for giggles). Then assume that each band after that goes on in one hour intervals.

Then use your magic 8 ball / ouija board / crystal ball to see if a band has played a long or short set.

OR...show up on time and stay for the whole damned show!

lori, honey -

(a) some of us have all sorts of commitments and cannot show up at 8. hence the questions. i won't cry over missing edison glass, but missing parts of moore's/mascis's/verlaine's contributions to the evening would be regrettable.

(b) "assume that the first performer goes on at 8" -- yeah, but the question is, who *is* the first performer going to be?

(c) thanks for the mini-lecture on rock'n'roll. that was illuminating. i know more about rock'n'roll now than i did before.

no, really. call the box office.

one more person calls the box office Im gonne come over there and strangle you!

any chance you can get an extra outside?

to all the people calling the box office: what are they saying?

showing up at 7 or 8 is for suckers.

wow! lori that was enlightening. Could you also expound on the Bush doctrine...err...i mean the Bush worldview?

seriously, this is not a typical show with "bands". Its Verlaine/Moore/Ranaldo/Mascis/and Cline ...some of us are curious about the format of the show...spare me your rant...

I'll have an extra outside...so you can buy mine.

box office opens at 5pm

8:15 - Edison Glass
9:30 - Tom Verlaine & Jimmy Rip
10:30 - Thurston Moore & Lee Ranaldo
11:30 - Nels Cline w/ Norton Wisdom (painter)
12:30 - J Mascis

So What time does LORI go on?? HA

Whenever rock and roll tells her to.

We once played a gig with a band NAMED Lori -- at Andyman's Treehouse in Columbus Ohio.

"some of us have all sorts of commitments and cannot show up at 8. hence the questions."

Your comment makes no sense. If you cannot show up at 8, why do you care who plays first? You can't see it, so why worry?

what a amazing special night

anyone has j mascis's setlist? (i understand he was playing actual songs...)

Started off with two songs from More Light (forgot the names of the songs, haven't pulled out that CD in years).

Then they played another 4 (maybe 5?) songs. One was "Get Me".

Dave Schools on bass was absolutely incredible.

"There is no "e" in Ranaldo."

What about Renaldo and the Loaf?

that show was pretty incredible

The show was very far from incredible. Mascis as others have said ripped it but the others not so much. Kind of boring actually. Was expecting something a lot more special. You got some real tools on here with no sense of what is truly great.

Renaldo and the Loaf is truly great.

FUCK YOU SNAKEFINGER!!!

what about nels

There was really nothing to complain about if your expectations were correct when you got there. Verlaine did the same boring crap he has been doing for 10 years. The SY set could have been longer and contained at least SOME melody. Their set was the only disappointed of the night. Nels set was great, but only because of the pairing with Norton Wisdom. Very nice. J ripped it like always, he was never one to noodle. Dave Schools of Widespread Panic ripped it up on bass.

Who won the guitar they gave away god dammit? Mascis blew the rest were great! Well, T.V. blew.

J Mascis + The Fog setlist:

Ammaring / Same Day / Set Us Free / Get Me / Thumb / Alone

encore:

The Lung

mascis was AWESOME friday...everything else totally sucked...i sat down on the elevated platform on the top floor until 12am.

my friend said it best...verlaine may love his experimental side but he became FAMOUS for television...if all he ever did was his atmospheric wank, no one would give him any billing at all.

i havent really been interested in dinosaur jr since they reformed. personally, i grew up with the 2nd wave of dinosaur...and despite 'you're living' being their best, 'where you been' is a very close second. to hear 'thumb' and 'get me,' made me feel like i was 13 and running to record store to pick up 'without a sound'...god what a terrible record that was.

BUY AMERICAN ONLY.

well yeah, if you were 13 Mascis was great.

last year, at the company picnic, i thought lee ranaldo was lee rolando. can you belee' dat?!
