Metallica played practically next door to us last night, and packed Lane Stadium at Virginia Tech. For those who don't know about it, the Hokies have used "Enter Sandman" for getting fans and the team pumped up for games since 2000, so it was a pretty big deal that the band added Blacksburg to the tour. To stay on par with Fleetwood Mac and USC I guess, Hokies head coach Brent Pry presented each member of member of Metallica with a team jersey. ...and of course they finished out the night with-

Last band I did sound for (composed entirely of Northern Illinois University history professors) would do "Enter Sandman" - with swing.  Interesting.

Took my son to Ozzfest years ago at Alpine Valley (outdoor venue).  Pantera got on stage and you could feel it in your feet and legs.😳

June 22, 1985 I took my youngest son to Alpine Valley for the Grateful Dead; here they are that night  https://archive.org/details/gd1985-06-22.sbd.greider.keith.2665.sbeok.shnf


And here we are (I'm the one in the dashiki, he's in the blue paisley - groovy even at age 6 weeks.....

That tune always gives me a good chuckle. 😄

Covered Miss Ohio many, many times, but the first time is the reason why... I was playing bass in a newgrass crossover band, that for whatever reason got booked for a weird number of wedding events. This one particular bride (who happened to be a big fan of the Miranda Lambert cut), picked out "Look At Miss Ohio" for her bridesmaids to make their entrance. It tickled me for the rest of the evening.

Here's a couple more simple songs from Welch and Rawlings that are still in rotation in current bands-

I thought about it, but decided against... I have posted so much of her stuff here already, it would've been just one more. It's a good interview though, a good plug for a good record. I'm enjoying seeing good things happen for Sierra... she's worked hard for a long time. Getting to play your music on your terms. What's better than that?
