Recording #290
The start of the Deep Blues Festival. I think it was in May that I contacted Rick Saunders with the idea of having a small festival. I asked him about using the name "Deep Blues". His website of that name included so many of these bands I was enjoying. Rick was encouraging, and I contacted about 18 bands about their interest in coming North for this event. I planned on hiring four or five for an evening show. When every single band said they wanted to play, I decided to expand this to an all day show.
I spent a crazy amount of money on production, venue, hotel, food, electricity, toilets, stages, etc in addition to the band payments. I would need a thousand people to attend just to break even, let alone making any money for the charity we were hoping to benefit. After 90 days of drought, the day of our fest had an all day rain. We had one hundred paid tickets. That's Deep Blues.
There's plenty of stories and things to share about the fest. More than I can remember or want to write about here. We had artwork designed by Justin DeGarmo.

OK. back to the recordings. Here's Johnny Lowebow to start off the very first fest.

Dan's dad offered me a ticket to Lallapalooza in Chicago.
I met Chuck and Mary at the ticket office. It took a little while to find them on the guest list, but we got our credentials and went into the fest.
Chuck explained he had no idea if I would be able to get backstage access, but I just hiked along with them. Jamie was working as the tour manager and Chuck was able to get him on the phone to meet us and get us backstage. We hung out in the VIP area and talked for about an hour, waiting for the show. MIA had just finished performing and most of the people in that area seemed to be with her. I think Southern Comfort must have been a sponsor and they were offering drinks. I don't recall anything other very special than some shade and some places to sit.
When the show was ready to start, I was able to follow along to the side stage access. We were on a second level platform. My recording starts with some conversation with Chuck.

It turned out to be a free show, and you had to get there early to get a ticket. A friend and I got there in the early afternoon and were first in line. We got our tickets and then worked our way into the club before the show to hear the sound check.
Dan came and chatted with us a for a couple minutes after the sound check. We reminded him of his comments to us from their last tour thorugh MN when he said "they'll never have the big tour bus". Here he was with a huge production traveling with several buses. The tobacco people had tons of signage they were putting all through the club. The put up a special smoking lounge out back of the club and had extra deluxe toilets brought in for the lounge. There was a staff of about 10 handling video and sound production. I don't know what they did with their recordings, but I've never seen any released. Free cigarettes were being handed out.
One of the tobacco reps had a handfull of after show passes. We got some and went to the meet and greet after the show and got a free cd. Pat and Dan were signing them and we were able to chat a little more.

Recording #258
They played a radio show at KFAI in the afternoon and then had this club show at night.
I had two cameras, so I did a tripod shot and hand held shot for both sets. I'll only post the tripod shots right now.

They may have been billing themselves as the Moreland and Arbuckle Trio at that time. They did this radio show in the late afternoon and then played Whiskey Junction that night.

After recording three bands in two other bars that night, I stopped for one more drink at Dick's Bar in Hudson WI to catch a song by Jeff Loven. He was just starting his third set and played his song Heavy Metal Polka.

Recording #250
At the Hideaway in Raleigh NC.
The rock'n'roll lifestyle was taking a toll on everyone. Tired, hungover, generally grumpy. Get fired up for the show and wind down with no real rest and another long drive for the next day. This was my last night to see these guys. They had many more cities and days ahead of tour. After the set, John was straight to the van and asleep in minutes. I watched Scott's set with Van and said goodbye. An older woman was putting a hard sell on Scott. It took about three sentances to spell out that she was alone, from out of town, had a hotel room, and wanted Scott in that room. I left while she was still shoving a room card at Scott and he wanted none of it.
Tough to pass up a couple Florida shows and seeing more friends on the way, but it was time to head home.

I don't remember why Chris didn't play the night before in Knoxville. I do remember some fan handing him a plastic mountain dew bottle half full of moonshine. Probably a 12 oz bottle with a good 6 oz left in it and Chris sucked it down in one pull.
Everyone was a little rough from the last four nights. This had to be my last show before turning back towards home. The bands were headed south to Florida for the next part of the tour.
Here's the last time I saw Chris perform. I've followed him online the past ten years. I really enjoy the advice videos. It will be a treat to see him soon in Minneapolis opening for Deer Tick.
Also, if you havent' watched the Black Diamond Heavies shows from this tour, you need to see Chris joining them for Traditional Blues Song. They did that most every show.

Scott had a radio show scheduled in Knoxville TN at WUTK in the afternoon before the show that night at the Pilot Light. He invited me along and I filmed.
Rare acoustic unamplified Scott. First two minutes have some digital issues, but it clears up.

I learned quickly that the travel plans for the Black Diamond Heavies meant leaving to drive to the next gig was at the last possible minute. They left no room for error. Hit the road and show up at load in and sound check. This isn't how I typically travel. I'm cautious. I leave time for traffic, sightseeing, unplanned stops, etc. But when you want to caravan with the band, you follow their lead.
This day, it first meant tracking down one of the band who found a place to stay with a local. The local happened to be a dancer, and we met up with them at her place of work. We spent the afternoon until we just had time to make the drive to Atlanta.
Here's Chris Crofton at the Star Bar in Atlanta GA

I left Nashville and had a day before the Biram/Heavies show in Birmingham AL, so I drove to Jackson TN to visit another musician Elam Mcknight. We got beer and bbq and hung out at his grandfather's house and talked music. For some reason, Elam had an amp of Steve Greer's and I picked it up and returned in to Steve the next week as I came through Nashville again.
I can't remember the route from Jackson to Birmingham, but I'm guessing it was back roads. The club in Birmingham had a RV/greenroom next to it. This was the start of a really fun tour with Biram and the Heavies. Also, the first time I got to meet Chris Crofton. Chris will be touring with Deer Tick soon. Really looking forward to their Minneapolis show.

Mark had left the Black Diamond Heavies a year earlier. He was living in Nashville and busking on Broadway. He had a couple gigs booked in at the Family Wash on Feb 4th and Feb 11th. I timed my trip to attend both these shows. This was the first time I saw him play solo.

In December of 2006, I completed my obligations with a business I sold and I entered 2007 unemployed. Also betrayed and cheated by friends and family, I turned to music for comfort. The next twenty something recordings are from this tour. I don't remember the reason for changing the Feb 10th stop from Louisville to Raleigh, but the trip began and ended with Nashville on Feb 4th and 11th.
I planned a road trip for early February. It started with driving down to Nashville to visit a friend having a house party. Steve Greer has documented more live music than anyone I know. Someday this collection needs to come to light.
Here's the flyer for his preSuperbowl party, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Superbowl.
here's the video from the party
