    Being dragged to Crack the Sky Sunday....

    They have a dvd with two shows on it, one of which is from when they played Rosfest.

    I love this one, but doubt that they still play it live:

    Thanks, I'll try and play these 3 before the show to try and familiarize

    Fortunately / Unfortunately I have a LOT of new things to spin this weekend so only so much time

    Setlist from their most recent show. They'll prolly substitute the xmas medley with some Beatles. Sets don't change all that much except for addition of a new song or two, due to the fact that they all live in different areas and have day jobs.



    Complete DVD of Rosfest + extras:

    wow, they are a lot more bluesy and straight-up-rock than I thought.

    Looks like you're attending one of the two Ram's Head shows which are both advertised as "acoustic", so things might be a little different than usual. They're doing an electric show tonight in Sellersville PA.

    Yes

    Very funny as just yesterday I happened upon Carl Palmer tickets for the May gig there

    Tres Cool place to see a show, save the support poles scattered between most of the seats and stage

    Tiny venue, great bar food and wide selection of microbrews

    I think acoustic may actually be more to my liking

    Brian, my advice is just go(you know how jealous I am of you right now don't you?-lol) and be amazed by one of the greatest live bands ever. It can't/won't suck I assure you. These guys are incredible no matter what they play.

    Quite the Gentle Giant "Proclamation" Rand - love it

    Yes, all the positive vibe has me looking forward to this!

    My bud sent over a selection of songs, and I'm realizing that I shouldn't have missed these guys all this while - some really good songs, (liked Ice a whole lot)

    Going to the early show, then heading back to his crib to watch the NBA all-star game

    Another Pleasant Valley Sunday

    their cover of 'I am the Walrus' is probably worth the cost of admission!

    Always loved the song "Nuclear Apathy". In fact, Crucible did a splendid cover of it on their second album Curtains for any CtS fans who may be interested:

    Incidentally, their current bass payer is someone you may have heard of - Dave Demarco, former Oblivion Sun.

    I'm pissed the Ramshead shows were sold out by the time I found out about them.
    Yes, great live band.
