plenzmd1 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 We grey hairs can still bring it. Problem is the younger crowd who are too busy capturing every moment on their phones and not cheering. Ain't that the truth Pooj! Great hear the show was fun for everyone.
bbb Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 There were a lot of grey hairs (actually, mostly women who would be grey hairs if it were not for the miracle of hair dye) all over my facebook feed today. All of them taking lots of pictures of themselves in the parking lot, etc. One of them, I actually went to the July 4, 1978 show with. And, I thought - we didn't friggin waste all this time back then. We experienced it - we didn't have to document it for the world.
The Poojer Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 To clarify a bit, sure I document shows I go to, but I do it before hand. For the dead show last week, I got sots of each of the band members during the first song, then put my phone away for the rest of it.

Helpmenow Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I was talking about them touring. What are they call their tour bus? The compostory bag express? Another idiot
Buftex Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Forgot to mention,in keeping with the "zip-code" theme, right before the did "Let's Spend the Night Together", they did the opening intro, and first few lines of "Super Freak"
Helpmenow Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 How large is their catalog. My gosh play something else guys! Doom and gloom has been played more than If You Can't Rock Me, Hand of Fate, Play with Fire and Sway

Best Player Available Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 How large is their catalog. My gosh play something else guys!Doom and gloom has been played more than If You Can't Rock Me, Hand of Fate, Play with Fire and Sway Good point. Probably the reason they didn't play doom and gloom.
Hammered a Lot Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Also - the Sheriff's department guys directing traffic at the corner of Abbott and Milestrip following the show had no idea what they were doing and are going to get someone killed. Same thing during Bills games - it's terrible. Abbott also needs barriers between the sidewalk and the street - way too many close calls with pedestrians last night. I am hearing that Erie County Sherriffs where not letting cars go down Abbott Rd from the Big Tree side after 5pm for some illegal reason. Me and my neighbors got pucked over. Anyone from TBD try to go down Abbott and get turned away?
stevewin Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Lol. Does Mick write his material? I wonder if he knew about the Brady Buffalo hotel flap when he came up with that? That joke is funny on two levels. That's gold, Jerry. GOLD! I imagine they have people on staff who talk to locals and do some research to come up with one-liners for Mick to yell out (and he probably has no idea what he is referring to most of the time). Nice touch actually
Chef Jim Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Lol. Does Mick write his material? I wonder if he knew about the Brady Buffalo hotel flap when he came up with that? That joke is funny on two levels. That's gold, Jerry. GOLD! That's what I was going to say. There is no way he came up with that stuff himself. How many people outside of WNY/Bills fans know about the whole Brady hotel thing.
Lurker Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) That's what I was going to say. There is no way he came up with that stuff himself. How many people outside of WNY/Bills fans know about the whole Brady hotel thing. Mick's a pretty smart guy. I suspect he has someone do research on each city on the tour to come up with this kind of stuff (i.e., Darwin Martin House, Lombardo's restaurant, civic hot buttons like Brady's comments). This poster didn't just get whipped out of thin air on Friday... Edited July 14, 2015 by Lurker

This poster didn't just get whipped out of thin air on Friday... You suspect? I think it's pretty phoney. But the concert poster is pretty damn sweet. Concert posters are big. I've gone to shows and gotten in line so I could be up front and see all the people in line ahead of me and think there's no way I'll be on "the rail." Then I get in and realize they'll all there early to get a limited edition concert poster.
The Poojer Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 He and Charlie visited the FL Wright museum on the Friday before, this t-shirt and poster were borne out of that....which is super cool. I love how musicians are doing location specific concert posters again. Mick's a pretty smart guy.

Just Jack Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I am hearing that Erie County Sherriffs where not letting cars go down Abbott Rd from the Big Tree side after 5pm for some illegal reason. Me and my neighbors got pucked over. Anyone from TBD try to go down Abbott and get turned away? I don't remember the exact time, but it was between 4:30-5:00 and we had no problem getting on Abbott from Big Tree.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 That's what I was going to say. There is no way he came up with that stuff himself. How many people outside of WNY/Bills fans know about the whole Brady hotel thing. Rminds me of when Spinal Tap was on the Simpsons. Nigel Tufnel:[addressing the crowd] We were told they knew how to rock in Shelbyville. [the crowd 'boos'] Derek Smalls:But nobody rocks like... [looks on the back of his guitar where he has placed a reminder of the name of the town they're playing in] Derek Smalls: Springfield!
GG Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 There was a lot of grey hair in that parking lot. If you think Mick Jagger will still be out there trying to be a rock star at age fifty, then you are sadly, sadly mistaken.
BillsPride12 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Rminds me of when Spinal Tap was on the Simpsons. Haha yes! Love that episode
