Jay Farrar

Agreed. Best Son Volt show I've seen in years. The new stuff sounded great, a LOT of rockers, loved hearing Grindstone and really liked that cover of Stop the World (And Let Me Off) at the end of encore #1. Jay was in good form and seemed really engaged. Heck, he even smiled and shook some fan's han...

FYI, I made a correction to the tab.

I knew something wasn't quite right. The verses have a slightly different chord progression the 2nd time through:

Verse:
E B F#m A
E F#m A B

Cheers!

Well done, and thanks! This record gets better with every listen. Hear something new every time. I look forward to getting to know every nook and cranny of it with thousands upon thousands of repeated listens. I think 10 years from now this record will rival anything he's ever done on most of our l...

Just when I thought Jay couldn't write a sadder song he proves me wrong once again. Too lazy to match the chords to the lyrics, but I think this is the gist of it: Verse: E B F#m A E F#m A B Chorus: C#m F#m C#m B A A F#m F#m E Alternate bridge back to verse: (F#m E C#m F#m A) Or to make it easier to...

I was going to go until I read that instead of Jay Farrar and Ben Gibbard playing, it's actually going to be Ben Farrar - Jay's evil twin that his family kept chained in the basement for years - and Jay Gibbard - Ben's former sister who, by virtue of a botched sex-change, can only sing in a whiny fa...

Yea, nice job. What kind of guitar are you playing?

Any idea if the show is sold out? I saw them last night at The Fillmore and they rocked! I'm really tempted to drive down to Santa Cruz.

Are you familiar with the venue? According to the website it's a seated venue w/ no booze?

I too refuse to buy on-line and pay the ridiculous fees. I usually try to stop by the box office during showtime prior to the show I want to see and buy tickets directly. I believe the Fillmore box office is also open on Sunday mornings. I kinda doubt if this show will sell out. I've seen SV there a...

Great story - welcome aboard!

I was at the show as well - really great stuff!

And, sorry, he didn't play Jet Pilot.

I could have sworn I saw a link to the lyrics in one of the posts on this board, but can't seem to find it. Anyone know where it is??

Anybody else get the sense that Dave doesn't really thoroughly enjoy the Son Volt scene? Just wondered if I'm the only one who senses that he's growing tired of the small(er) crowds, poor choices of venues in which they're being booked(I totally agree with him), the bs of life on the road... I was ...

Not a bad article, except for the fact that, once again, Tweedy and Wilco - and not Jay/SV/UT - get credit for being the bridge to the alt-country past.

Ugh

Damn.

I was really hoping for a conspiracy.
