09.07.09 Arrogance @ 40 • Performance Part 2
Continuing where we left off. . . Arrogance celebrates their 40th Anniversary with their reunion performance March 21, 2009 at The Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC. Also of note is an opening comment from Parke Puterbaugh, former Senior Editor of Rolling Stone Magazine. Coming Soon (well. . . eventually) is Part 3 with a reunion of the original 1970's era Arrogance and an encore performance of Arrogance as their alter ego Dogbreath, along with some friends!
07.19.09 HOLSAPPLE / STAMEY Performance NASHVILLE July 11, 2009
"By the time All Things Must Pass came, it was like being constipated for years, then finally you were allowed to go” George Harrison. I'm kinda that way with video. Backlogged and trying to find time to get all this video edited. I mean I'm backlogged as far back as February 2007! But it's better to have the footage to work with, even if it's late, rather than never to have shot it. The OAK Team and Arrogance oh, and The Hanging Chad / Jump Rabits and The Spongetones are coming. . . and reunions from Doc Holliday and the dB's . . . and HD updates on PKM. . . and updating the Rough Cuts to be not so rough and in HD. . . and this Web site needs a little spring cleaning. . . (where's my Scotch!). Sorry for all delays (really. . . where's my Scotch!!). Meanwhile, Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey played Nashville in support of their new CD HERE AND NOW, and were kind enough to let me shoot their performance. And what a great performance - songs from the dB's, Mavericks, solo and new stuff, all performed brilliantly! Also check out the outtakes/bonus video for a tour of Peter's Cigfiddle and some wonderful covers.
05.12.09 Arrogance @ 40 • Performance Part 1
Well, it’s been a while. Sorry it's been so long, but I have been shooting a lot of stuff! In fact I am backlogged with video to finish. The Arrogance @ 40 performances from last March 21st is just the start of a number of videos I will try (and I mean, really, really try!) to get out. On this video look for interviews and LIVE performances from Arrogance, Dave Adams from Glass Moon, Debra DeMilo from The Fabulous Knobs, Parthenon Huxley, and Peter Holsapple & Chris Stamey from the dB's. There will be at least two more parts to the performance, and if I’m lucky, one or two additional segments from rehearsals. As for other videos. . . I am working on finishing music videos for The OAK Team and The Spongetones, and I have more performances coming from Doc Holiday shot in Warner-Robins, GA and the Jump Rabbits shot in NYC, as well as a ton of other interviews with folks like Mitch Easter, Gerald Duncan, Kenny Soule, Godfrey Cheshire, Bruce Brookshire, Kitty Moses and others. So look for a new music video coming next and then more Arrogance -- including a fantastic performance from the Original Arrogance who haven't played together since the 1970's! It was a wonderful evening!!
Also, according to Don Dixon's MySpace Blog, he is (semi?) retiring from performing LIVE. So if you can get to The Evening Muse in Charlotte, NC on Friday, May 15, you can see The Hanging Chads who consist of Don Dixon (Arrogance), Jamie Hoover (The Spongetones), Bill Lloyd (Foster & Lloyd / The Long Players) and Robert Crenshaw (Marshall Crenshaw). See'em while they're still breathin' !!
Speaking of Bill Lloyd and The Long Players, check out their Web site for some great performances I have been honored to work on. Included are songs from a couple of Spongetones, which you can see below. Look for more performances from TLP guests such as Marshall Crenshaw, Adrian Belew (Frank Zappa), Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie), Joey Molland (Badfinger), Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick), Dan Baird (Georgia Satellites) and tons of other stars, at www.thelongplayers.com.
