21 Song Salute

6/6/2010
Basically what happened was I called Jeff and said,
"Sorry for the rude self-invite but I need to jam and I'm comin' down."
What is poor Jeff to do but open the doors to the Plymouth studios and crack open some cold ones?
Treehouse by Buffalo Tom lead it all off; one that we had played maybe once before but is sure to become part of the CD's stable of tunes. Hotel California was next followed by a regular Dwellers fave, Ring of Fire.
Michael requested Shawn Mullins' Beautiful Wreck which is another one of those tunes that once you hear/play it's tough to get it out of your head.
We ripped through both Born to Run and This Hard Land by his excellency, Mr. Springsteeen.
We then added to our Rolling Stones repertoire with Sweet Virginia (good good stuff) and then dusted off a classic in Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath. Neil Young's Hurricane was next followed by another Cellar Dweller first; Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead.
Back to Neil for Powderfinger and then yet another first in Allman Brothers' Sweet Melissa.
Just to we got the somewhat complex strumming right, we went back to Beautiful Wreck and then on to one of my personal recent adds; Blood & Roses by The Smithereens. And then just for good measure, ANOTHER TWO FIRSTS; What's Going On-Four Non Blondes and Me & Julio by Simon & Garfunkle;OUTSTANDING ADDITIONS!
Take it Easy followed and then Michael took the vocals for Petty's Yer So Bad and then back to Jeff and Mr. Young for Cortez the Killer.
We wrapped it up with Runaway Train and of course, Dead Flowers.
All in all, another good way to have a few pops and enjoy the company of good folk. Another fun evening.
Thought I would post a vid of our closing song, Dead Flowers by the Rolling Stones.
Enjoy
