Mike had a big conglomeration of pedals on a homemade setup. I remember at the 77s Alcoa show he had a buncha power adapters plugged into an outlet which looked kinda funny. Didn't notice if it was in fact the very same board or not.
at last years BBQ- when Mike was setting up that monstrocity-
Terry refered to it as :
"The Firemans Friend".....

Then she needs to maximize her throughput, find twigs
with multiple arms and roast a ton at a time. Eventually
she could hire some smaller person to hold the twig for her
and another one to lay out the napkins in a row....

And MF, I agree w/ Mr. Jiminy; I appreciate the gear info - I'm into that. I have to take a stab at the ones you were unsure about - (it's kinda like naming that tune or something). Mike's tele sounds right. I have seen some semi-hollow Tele-shaped guitars out there and think Fender even had one at one time but there are other cos. that make 'em. Could be G&H?? As for Derri's other acoustic; when I saw them play in Houston awhile back he was playing an Ovation or something similar with that "bowl" shaped back and the sound holes in the upper bout - could that be it? And for my final answer - just a shot in the dark on the electric - sounds like a Parker Fly, which is one cool guitar. Are you familiar with those?
Thanks again for taking the time to put down your impressions, and all you other "lucky ones" out there: don't forget to do your part!

Mike's electric Tele? looked like it had been around quite awhile, so I think it was an actual Fender rather than a copy (and also because he endorses Fender electrics now). I had never heard of a semi-solid Tele. I think it is a really cool guitar.
Derri's 2nd acoustic was not an Ovation (I know because I have a Celebrity and want a 1861 Balladeer with cherryburst top ). It was a fairly traditional-looking guitar with a medium brown stain finish (didn't look mahogany, though) and normal soundhole. Also, the front and back curves made it look "fat", kinda like a smaller version of Terry's Guild, as opposed to his Gibson that didn't have as fat curves.
I do think I remember him playing a cherryburst Balladeer (or other model with normal center soundhole) at an Arizona show BigDork had pictures/video of posted on his site at one time.
Derri's non-strat electric wasn't a Parker fly (looked a pic up on the web). The "horns" were fairly parallel to the neck, a bit thinner, and the body was symmetrical, with the cutouts going down to the bottom of the neck on both sides. If I remember right, I think the headstock may have had 3 tuners on each side and a little shorter than most. |
Actually I want the cherryburst Balladeer 
and may end up playing it more if WE get it because the neck isn't quite as broad as MF's Ovation (it's made more for feminine hands!) 
And MF, thanks for posting all the gear info! 
You did way better than I could have!

I just registered on this board. I hope I"m clicking all the right buttons. I've enjoyed reading the comments about the Knoxville show. I was there so I thought I'd add my thoughts.
A couple more quirky highlights were when Terry did his impression of Edward G Robinson's character from The Ten Commandments. Adding that he was smoking a cigar in the film. When Mike objected that they didnt have cigars in The Ten Commandments, Terry said something like, "It was the Old Testament! Miracles happened all the time back then. I'm surprised you don't know that!"
Also Terry had us all stand and do Rapture practice. I'll let someone else explain.:-)
I would have to say I didnt think the crowd was as big as stated earlier. When I did a quick count it was under 50 at that time, right after the show began. But that was only in the main room, not the adjoining room. I wish it were a larger crowd.
I took a friend to the show who was unfamiliar with the band. Unfortunately, he is an eye doctor and was on call and had to leave at around song #7. He did return...for the final song. He did buy the new cd however and said he was very impressed and can't wait to hear more. |
Wow, didn't know you were there! 
Which table were you sitting at? Were you at the front table on the right? (Reason I ask has to do with your friend - see next paragraph) MF and I speculated as to whether anyone from the DAmb was there.
That's horrible that your friend had to leave and missed most of the show. 
Glad he was able to return for the final song though. I saw him there early in the show and didn't see him slip out but I was on the cafe side when he returned (assume it was your friend because the man I am talking about returned right before the last song). Hope he really enjoys Mutt! I'm sure the Dogs would echo my sentiment: thanks for doin' your part!
And glad you're here to join us on the DAmb!

...
PLUS - that is a Doggie Crowd !- smaller venues that fill up are what the Boys like I think. |
Yeah, MF is the Saintiest! He told me last week he was gonna punch Derri in the nose and tell him he "stole my wife". I told MF that he's the one who makes my knees week! I just like Derri's music (and his hair! I'm jealous!)
MF behaved himself last night. And I did go out with our son for a while, but not as long as MF did!
. I was a little bummed that I had payed to see the Dogs and had to go out with my son cuz I thought I wouldn't be able to see them. Well, I was able to see Derri and Terry just fine (had to go a little closer to the door to see Mike), so it was well worth runnin after our boy! I was especially able to see Derri - it was kinda like he was framed in the doorway. 
As fer bein a music lover: I am! And I don't just let MF do "his thing" cuz "his thing" is "my thing" and he has to share if I'm to let him do "his thing"!
Whoa, my heads spinnnin after that!
And that Doggie Crowd is why I love the Dogs! Smaller venues feel more intimate and I like that! (And that's why the show last night kinda had a "living room intimacy" kinda feeling!
)

"Wow, didn't know you were there! Which table were you sitting at? Were you at the front table on the right?"
Yes, I was at the front table at the right! Wow, what a great seat! I've never read this board until today, so its really amazing to me that for some reason this morning I go to DanielAmos.com and click on the Forum and there is the set list and people talking about the show! Thanks! (I was going to try to remember the set list to send to a couple of friends who couldn't come, but I'm sure I couldn't have remembered it all)
I live in Knoxville and have wanted the Dogs to come to New City Cafe www.newcitycafe.com/ for years so I was very excited that it finally happened. Its a great venue to watch music. When its packed full it probably only holds 200 people or so.
I was at the 77s show in Alcoa a couple months back. Other than that, the only time I've seen any of these guys was when the Lost Dogs played in Chattanooga back in about 1997.
My friend Allyn (the eye doctor) only got to come because my wife had gotten sick yesterday and told me to find someone else to go. He was excited, but warned me that he was on call. The other guy sitting with us was a fellow that Allyn and I had gone with to see Chagall Guevara several years ago in Knoxville, so that was a nice little unintended reunion.

All this discussion of people seeing the Dogs live is making me jealous.
You won't like me when I'm jealous.
I turn all green with envy.
That's right. I'm the Incredible Sulk.

I remember seeing all of you at your table and thinkin, "Who are those guys? They look like true Dogs fans!"
Are you the guy with the beard? (Maybe I won't have anymore questions after this one!)
That set list was certainly nothing I could remember all of. We wrote it all down so we could share it here to whet the appetites of those that will be goin' to a show during this tour.
Also, it's interesting that you were at the 77's show in Alcoa. My husband, who is Mountain Fan on this board, went to that show too. I stayed home that night so that he could take a friend from church who had recently lost his job. I hear that was a great show too!
BTW, we live in Asheville, North Carolina, so we had to drive 2 hours to get to the show, but it was well worth every drop of gas burned!!!!! We'll have to all plan to get together if the Dogs ever come back to New City Cafe (or anywhere else in Knoxville or close by)!

Yep, that was me with the beard. (see pic: www.lotsoforange.com)
Let me know if the Dogs come to Asheville. Maybe my wife and I would drive over for that. We have four kids (14, 12, 5, 3) so its rare that we get to do concerts together. thats why i was real disappointed that she didnt get to go the show on Wednesday.
the 77s show in Alcoa was freaky for me. Mike Roe's sidekick, Mark Harmon (from California) started telling the audience that he used to spend his summers in East Tennessee. He then said "has anyone heard of Elizabethton?" Well that small town is my hometown! And then he said, "in a place called Stoney Creek". that is the small community where I grew up! It freaked me out. I talked to him for a long time after the show about it. Glad your husband got to come over for that. I heard that Lost dogs had been in Alcoa a few months back and I didnt even know about it! Did he come to that?

Dude, I remember seein you!
MF and I have talked about tryin to get the Dogs here to Asheville. Funds just haven't allowed it yet! 
Maybe someday!
We'll let ya know if we do!
I didn't hear about the Dogs bein' in Alcoa 
Why didn't I know bout that? 
However, they were in Taccoa Falls, GA in March 2003 and in Alpharetta, GA in October 2003. I only know cuz we were at both shows! And they were great!

Hey, I remember seeing you at New City Cafe!
Didn't know the Dogs were in Alcoa recently!?
I remember at the 77s show someone making some remark to Mark about the whole Stoney Creek deal; cool that it was you! Mark seemed like one real neat guy.
I think it's just a matter of time before we can get them to Asheville. I'm trying to find the right venue and some sponsors, but haven't had any luck so far. Maybe they'll get together some official promotional sheets and CDs together (even if I have to download and print/burn them) and I can pound the pavement and hookup with the right venue and folks.
My dad used to drive through Elizabethon (I think I remembered that right) on business trips on the way to a different plant that the company he worked for had (Great Lakes Carbon Corp).

The fellow who brought the 77s to Alcoa told me he had the Lost dogs there just a few months earlier. I think he catches bands if they are coming through nearby and have an open date and want to add a show. there was no promotion that I'm aware of for that show and probably wasnt much more than the 30 or so in attendance that were at the 77s show, I"m guessing. Anyway I missed it because I didnt even know about it.
The Great Lakes Carbon plant your dad used to drive to is about one mile from where I grew up! My uncle, worked there for about 25 years or so. Small world!
