We finally got to see them play a great opening set (and also enjoyed chatting with them afterwards), but not long after that the band broke up.<br /><br />I've attempted to keep up with subsequent activities. I know that one of the "Matt's" in the group has sometimes played with Chris Stamey and was part of one of the first Big Star's Third live shows.<br /><br />Great site.<br /><br />Acebglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396438499693365022.post-84204197144248946912012-05-26T17:51:49.759-04:002012-05-26T17:51:49.759-04:00I had only heard a few songs from this show.

The Valleydale jingle was a real hoot. I remember "If And When" was usually played towards the end if not part of the encore set. That's probably my most favorite of Stamey's songs. That one always got the crowd going. This is an excellent recording too, probably due to the modest size and good acoustics of Cradle at that time. <br /><br />I'm glad I found your site (by way of your comment at Old Fat Flacs). Thanks so much for making this available. It's great to be able to hear what I missed 30 years ago. I'll be sure to visit often.cudawaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663497258734778831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396438499693365022.post-38299198578362531762012-03-22T21:31:46.018-04:002012-03-22T21:31:46.018-04:00Welcome cudawaver & thanks for sharing your in...Welcome cudawaver & thanks for sharing your info & memories (3 different locations?? talk about perseverance...)<br /><br />I'm guessing this was the same show, 'cuz that's one helluva version of TNK!Rob-in-Brevardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532844419280599147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396438499693365022.post-27923990007646833602012-03-22T19:57:35.075-04:002012-03-22T19:57:35.075-04:00If this is the show I attended, I'll be happy ...If this is the show I attended, I'll be happy to hear what I missed - I had to leave after "Tomorrow Never Knows" which was worth the ticket price alone. A phenomenal cover of that song if there ever was one. One point - the Cat's Cradle in 1981 was located in Chapel Hill just down the road on W Rosemary St. behind Tijuana Fats (now gone). There have been at least three previous locations of "The Cradle" since its present location in Carrboro. Around the mid-eighties it moved to W. Franklin St. (still Chapel Hill), only a few blocks away from where it is now (the "border" runs through one of those blocks). I saw the dB's during the "Like This" era at the Franklin St. Cradle and at the Brewery in Raleigh at the time "The Sound Of Music" was released. I've only seen Chris Stamey at the Carrboro location.cudawaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663497258734778831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396438499693365022.post-53012217202187861292012-03-22T09:56:39.672-04:002012-03-22T09:56:39.672-04:00Thanks for the reply.

I foolishly did not download it, naiively believing at the time that it would never go away.<br /><br />Enjoying the db's. I can't wait (well, I guess I will have to wait!) for the new record.
