...and Micky Gilly played my Prom in 1965.

Now that must have been fun.

Now that must have been fun.

It was fun, but really, at the time he was just a guy who played clubs and school dances in the Pasadena to Baytown area.

I forgot about another pair. I was in Mississippi at a cousin's house for the summer of 1964. One of my friends managed to sneak us in to some kind of event going on in a tent in Calhoun City, MS, to see Ace Cannon; and I saw Fats Domino play at the Rec Center in Abbeville, about 1967.

My first "real" concert was the Lovin Spoonful and the Beach Boys in Jones Hall in Houston around 1965-66.

I saw James Brown at the Big Oaks Club in Vinton about that same time frame.

I saw Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs at a dive bar in Deer Park right before "Wooly Bully" hit the charts.

For the country guys out there, I saw Little Jimmy Dickens at a bar on Magazine Street in 1967, and Micky Gilly played my Prom in 1965.

Now thats a list!

Just curious if any RP’ers went to the Turnpike Troubadours show in BR last night. What an insanely talented lineup. It was my first real experience with Trampled By Turtles. Elite level musicianship.

I know this thread hasn't been used in a minute, but I just wanted to let y'all know that I decided to go ahead and make a new podcast dedicated to music, called "E-Dude Talks Music". This is by no means a replacement of AFR, but rather a new spot for me to discuss something I'm also very passionate about! It's only on Spotify right now, but I'll be sure to add it to other sites ASAP. Feel free to subscribe if you'd like! I probably won't post the episodes on here, so if you're interested I'd recommend giving the show a follow so that you can receive updates! Thanks! Here's the link:

Update: Show is now on Apple

Turnpike was great. They did have trouble getting the sound levels right but overall a good show. Missed them in Red Rocks by a little bit last month.

I am going to the Bourbon and beyond festival in Louisville, KY in September. The line up is incredible and I can't wait to go. Dave Matthews, Tedeschi Trucks, Red Clay Strays, Son Volt, Wallflower, Beck, Matchbox 20, Mt. Joy, Wild Feathers, Lyle Lovett, JJ Gray and the Mofro's, War and Treaty, on and on. Plus special bourbon tasting, craft beer bars, Tiki Bars, my kind of event.

If you’ve never seen JJ Gray live before you’re in for a treat. I think they sound better live. It made me a bigger fan. Same with Cody Johnson. I saw him in Nola end of May. I was somewhat of a fan but watching him live made me appreciate his music that much more. He was awesome.

Very cool! I haven't seen very many of those bands perform but I did see The Wallflowers back in 2022, and they're pretty good!
