Notes: With Marie Moreshead. Acoustic show, with 11 part orchestra! It was streamed live and is available to download via MPBN.org, check their site for details.
Marie Moreshead is going on now @ 8:13pm
just a note; the acoustic sound of Marie is making me geek
out and smile from ear to ear for how great Rustic is going
to sound later. Water ville Opera House has great sound. Wish
I was there, because I'd be the guy with the shit eating grin)
"Didn't make it easy" was brand new for Marie to play live,
she was worried that people wouldn't like her, but Rustic
liked her so here she is. I will note that after every song
so far she is polite by saying "Thank you" during the crowds applause
Marie hopes that she'll see some of you at the VIP show after
and notes that "ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE GOING" ;D
Rustic on in 20 mins.
All eleven of the kids selected for this show are from
the Central Maine area. So this really highlights the whole
area. Lou said that the whole show will be uploaded late
tomorrow or Monday.
Rustic Overtones Started @ 8:59pm With lots of cheers and
something playing in the background I think Rustic just
took the stage at 9:00 ( think it's the same theme music
that we've all experience as of late)
9:01 they have taken the stage with Dave asking to please
remain setted. (something with the Bunny?)
1. THE LETTER (Holy shit this makes me smile)
2. Hardest Way Possible (better than all album recordings
I have) rumor about the Speakeasy around the corner from Gutter
3. Gas on Skin (so funky to even discribe to you)
4. Love Underground (fucking awesome version I've ever
heard Ryan's sax sounds so pure it's too hard to explain)
Gutter says that this is special in some kind of way. Maybe
it's because you're sitting down. Some girl asked "Can you
play Scarecrow". Gutter replys "Can you?" ;D The whole crowd
laughs. Then it's mentioned that Gutter is playing someone
elses guitar with rainbows and unicorns. And it's stated that
Gutter hates unicorns.
5. Letter to the President (slower then the LATE version and
with a chorus on the verse)
(some kind of hum going on in the recording. Mentioned that
"President" was for Gallery? who's in the war and for everyone
else there.
6. Troublesome ( Dave's got a little rasp in his voice like he
needs water. It's not the typical rasp little worried he's
gettting sick)
7. Man without a mouth (great violin beginning and piano with
horns) Great version I must say
8. Crash Landing (Insane is all I have to say (one of my favs)
There was a glitch on this one. Hope that the uploaded archive
is better)
Dave says that they're doing older ish. This one they haven't
done in ten years or so. Talking about the rags were from good
will so not to use the rags to wipe sweat or you might get a rash.
9. Baby Blue (when I heard this I almost shit, but I'm at home so
it's ok. Holy Fuck are the Horns HOT on this)
Gutter says that kids in this area are the only musicians that
they can keep up with. And that hey have the cream of the crop
10. Oxygen (with a little Seasame 12345678910, 11,12, to start it)
The sound is awesome must hear.
Gutter states that his is the first show of it's kind and bummed
that he can't smash his guitar. "Wait for it".
11. Rock Like War (this will be a must have recording for anyone.
This just puts another level to the Rock Like War song)
Gutter sending happy holidays to everyone and a happy birthday to
Jay's girlfriend.
12 Happy (it's only 9:55pm might be a short show with the VIP after
Horns sound great with a glitch at the solo of Ryan)
Dave says "You guys have a Happy New Year. Thank you very much"
The crowd is going wilder then I saw at my last Asylum show. It's
great to hear.
With a little laughing when they come out
13. This song went out to Roffie? Dave said that he pesonally wanted
to thank Ryan and Dave Noyes for making the punk rock songs that
they love sound so nice
Feast or Famine (with a glitch on my widows media player)
great break down with the piano and horns. I'm hoping that the
MPBN release won't have the glitches on it. This song was another
one of the must haves.)
Crowd: "Now play Scarecrow" "Play something Good" Dave said that he
wants to now play something bad. It was all too good. Long talk
into the speak easy after the show.
14. Carnival (great start to an amazing song. Actually the best
version of this song I've heard yet)
15. LIGHT AT THE END (Bringing a smile to my face and it isn't even
finished yet) Got to love the Ryan added sols over the horns at
the end. The end has a clap for the young violins that just kicks
ass. Bakc to Horns and everyone that just explode to the ending.
Then back to the violins and horns with the violins ending with
claps to the beat from the crowd.
This is then end of the broadcast from NUPHUS (and Gutter says
'Thank you guys. See you next year") Just to add the the fun.
VIP show on Silver street at the Speak Easy. Lou More says that
their going to try and grab their recording equipment and record
the VIP set as well.
