  1. Woah! I was at this show! NRBQ shared the bill with Material Issue and The Replacements for their last ever show. I've had the Replacements set for years and found the Material issue set a while ago, but this is the first time I've seen NRBQ's set!
    Thanks!
    And a snap o' the rubber band to Captain Lou!

  3. Hey JH, -- (Hope you don't mind, Rob...) Care to share the wealth? I'd love to have the whole show. Just something about three great bands on the same night and having it to listen to whenever the need is there before one's mortal coil ultimately unwinds. Maybe Rob would be willing to facilitate by hosting the other two bands that played one magical July 4th night.... Would be a tons of appreciative folk, I'd imagine. Just tossing a thought out there into the wind and seeing if it has any buoyancy.

    1. Hey Oxy - You'll be glad to know someone else in blogland is a step ahead of you. Tell Thull that Rob-In-Brevard sent you:

      Look in the comment section so you can get the link for the MI show. Unfortunately, the fileserver link for the MI show has been deleted, but maybe Thull will oblige if you ask him nicely to re-post...

      Enjoy!

    3. Sorry about that -- I can't find another source for it on the 'net. Good luck, though...

  5. Hey Rob, Thanks for the link. As it turned out, I had the MI (very underrated band) show, already, so thankfully, begging was thankfully avoided, at least this time out. Since you don't see or hear many triple bills like this anymore, I snagged the Replacements set to complete the night. Listening to the whole show right now. All three bands were really in top form that night!

    By the way, did you ever get around to to putting anything on to disc that box of cassettes you got?

    1. You got the whole night -- how cool is that?

      Yes, the latest from the new box o' tapes is The dB's, Viceroy Park '82; Letch Actively, Charlotte '83 and The dB's NYC '78.

      Always more to come...

  6. I thought so. There's been some sweet stuff showing up here, lately. Can't wait to see what else comes out of that magic box o' tapes in weeks to come.
