They opened for Drivin N Cryin at the Fox and I really couldn't get into it.
They're not from Athens, but I can't believe Mel and the Party Hats are still together doing covers. Saw them many times at the Theatre in my younger days.
Anybody else a fan of Soul Miner’s daughter?
They really do spread the panic wide.
Panic in the streets is still legend round these parts
I was there for panic in the streets. Craziest I have ever seen downtown
Hard to listen to "Whipping Post" on Live at Fillmore East by The Allman brothers and not really dig on it. Also "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." Just sayin'.
I actually liked Jenifer's solo album that came out between her days in SMD and Sugarland. That was a fantastic album.
I was so fortunate to have been in Athens during the great combustion the music scene went through in the late 1970s and to end my time at UGA in 1980/81 with the football championship season and the world discovering our music. I was blessed to be in a group that appreciated both the music and football, what a time to be young and on the scene.
Will echo you WCDawg, I just missed the football heyday, but the music was still in full force during my time there. An incredible time for local and nationalish acts (The Replacements at Stitch-craft for $1 being not the best musically, but the most memorable).
I worked at WUOG and once got a call from The 40 Watt during my shift to give away 4 tickets for that night’s show.
I asked for the name of the band and the caller yells away from the phone, “Hey, Pete, what are you calling yourselves tonight?”
“Pete” responds, “Big Wheel of Iron Cheese.” Turns out it was a cover name for R.E.M. playing a cover songs.
I’ll add The Squalls, African Dreamland, Buzz of Delight, BBQ Killers among many others.
Read previous quotes, you guys obviously like music so you all should check it out. I’m listening now.
Dash Rip Rock was a perfect live college band...never saw them in Athens though still like the inclusion
Jason Isbell counts among the best anywhere. Really liked Drive by Truckers, but he's next level now.
T Graham Brown and Reo Diamond, Normal Town Flyers, any band Randall Bramlett was in.
