Charlotte - 10/8, Funky vs. the Queen City Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

Starting my thread a little early because I am psyched for the show!!

Going to soundcheck and all... madness will certainly ensue. Will have a full review! Anybody else going?

A few responses:

1. No Ed talk on this thread please. This thread is better than that.
2. livefan1999, I recommend going to see the show no matter what you think of the album. If you are truly a fan of Live, you will in the least get a huge kick out of seeing CT, CG, and PD really rock the stage again. That is worth the 10 dollars alone.
3. As for more CT stories, like I said its wrong to share a man's drunk talk. But a few of the things talked about were frat parties, getting taken back to a hotel room on a luggage rack, and teleporting randomly through... London I think? That is really only the beginning. Some really intense guy told him "YOU DON'T NEED ED" and CT patted him on the shoulder and said "let it go man." He did have self-control in that one moment.
4. There are some pictures, I'll see if any are good enough for posting. Our camera isn't great so we mainly took it for entertainment, post-show pics, and to document the soundcheck.

Sorry. I think everyone here knows that I am a big supporter of Ed as well as wanting to help TGF along, too. My comments were casual and of concern, in no way a put down. Also, it was a compliment to TGF in that they are picking up speed, it seems, as their tour continues.

I hope at some point to see TGF in concert. I don't think, however, that there is anywhere near enough right now that I can take advantage of. Recently spent my budget allowance for extended travel shows on the Chicago (can't mention) concert. I am definitely going out for their cd, hopefully today. When my situation allows, I will catch them live. Yes, I enjoy all of the three you mention. Have been a long-time fan of CG with other drummers in the family. Others in my family are big fans of Patrick. So, yes, someday I hope to cach them live.

A luggage rack you say?! Sounds like his life has been colorful/fun.

As someone who wasn't in love with the album or the look of the band from the Honest man video I have to say that the live experience is a whole different thing. You need to go see them even more than buying the album, I think once you see the energy and the chemistry it will make sense. I just saw them last night and oh my god the album does not do them justice.

Seeing them also will not remind you of Live at all. I thought it would... I can be happy now for both groups now that I have seen that TGF isn't just some temporary amalgam of rockers.
