Where exactly is the new Booth?
Hopefully, this one doesn't smell like piss all the time.
I once shite my pants in the old Booth and still managed to managed to arrange some leg with this good looking blonde chick who lived over off Reed Street. She had a fat roommate who wanted to watch and that tripped me out too much so the deal wasn't sealed, but that's a story for another time...

I take my Neil Young VERY seriously. 
Yeah, Dr. Dog gets better and better every time I see them live, and this past time was no exception. They sounded great.
I was skeptical of the Beach Boys because I think they only have a couple of original members, but man, they rocked it. And I guess I didn't realize just how many hit songs they had. Their harmonies sounded great.

Nice, he came into my previous place of work a couple of months ago, and I told him I was a big Dexateens fan. He genuinely looked appreciative, and expressed his gratitude with a big smile on his face.
and I heard he finally graduated from the University!

Yeah, I was speaking more of the bands in bars scene. The major venue stuff is/was a numbers game
Overall, the bar scene has gotten better in Tuscaloosa with downtown blowing up while ironically the bar music venues have gone down slightly due to the Tusk, the Varsity, and even the Chukker going away. The Tusk alone had The Dave Mathews Band, Widespread Panic, and The Samples when I was in school. The Chukker was a pretty legendary place for alternative bands.
Blues Old Stand - I remember you guys. I always thought the Undergrounders were a great Ttown band as well. The lead singer could sing old Jackson 5 songs in a voice so much like a young Michael Jackson it was almost a little creepy.

Back when the Dexateens were just a Tuscaloosa band (late 90s), they had a song about Sweet Dog screwing his girlfriend, who was the daughter of the Baldwin Co. DA.
I was at a show one night at the Ivory Tusk, IIRC, and they played that. Her dad was standing next to me. I don't think he knew what they were singing about, but it was funny as hell to the rest of us.

That's incredible. Posted on 10/29/13 at 4:35 pm to Govt Tide
quote:Yep. I was around then. Marvelous 3 played the back room of the Tusk one night. That was pretty awesome. I used to run a country/Americana show on the student station and we had Jack Ingram at the Booth, one night, back when he toured with Charlie and Bruce Robison and before he and Charlie went lamestream country.

They used to get Col Bruce Hampton, Vic Chestnutt, etc. Like I said, there used to a be scene.

I remember seeing David Allan Coe at The Old Train Station which was my favorite bar while in school. It's a shame that place went away. It would be an even bigger hit with all the new places downtown not to mention the Embassy Suites going up a stone's throw away.

James is still doing the Undergrounders thing here and there. Previously known as a The Grounders.

It was insanely crowded in The Tusk when Dave Matthews played. I don't recall Widespread playing there, but I do remember their show at the Fairgrounds being shut down by the fire marshal. Damn near riot broke out.

Dude, we opened for him that night. He drove their bus into the back of the bar after the show.

Panic never played the Tusk, I don't think, but their first show outside of frat houses was at Foster Auditorium in 90 or 91. I saw them the first time at the KA house in 89. Crazy to see what they have become.

I just remember it being insanely crowded and the music being UNUSUALLY loud. I do seem to recall DAC being pretty drunk. I remember going out to my car when he was playing "If that ain't country" and cringing at how loud and clear you could hear the lyrics even a couple hundred yards down Greensboro Ave.

I heard about that show. Didn't one of the actives come back from a hunting trip with a dead deer and threw it on the bandroom floor which stopped the show?

My freshman year. I waited in line with a couple of pledge brothers and said screw it and left the line was so long out the door.

Yep. That's a pretty widely known story, I guess. It's true.

Yeah, I saw him twice at what's now the Jupiter.
Before one show, he and his band ate at the table next to us at Phil's. They all went to the bathroom together, which I thought odd...until I went myself, after they left...heroin needles in a pile by the shitter.
Hung out with Vanilla Ice one afternoon, too. He was in the radio station. We all knew the Cowboy Mouth guys. One of my friends worked for them for a while.
