We're just back in from the Gregg Rolie Band show. ...FREAKING AWESOME!!

Managed to ninja the setlist away from the drummer as he walked by,
shouting "Dude, dude, can I have the setlist, puh-leeeease?" usually works.

The night was awesome. Gregg and his guys are the happiest bunch of performers I've ever seen. They were having more fun than we were!! And for ProgRocker's enjoyment BJG and I were standing in the front row dead center of Rolie's organ.

The organ looked old and beat up... but it was smooth and soulful. Hehe... okay so that was a cheap shot, but it's the truth! Gregg kept making faces at us all through the show and even cracked up at one point over BJG's grooving and jiving. I kept waiting for him to stand up and do "na-na's" and wave his arms a la LTS.

Now, to address the Journeyisms. Kevin Chalfant walked by us before the show (don't piddle your manties, Rip) and stopped by and said "Hellos" and chatted for a moment before making his way behind the stage... so OF COURSE we were hoping and wishing for a little Just the Same Way, Anytime, or Feeling that Way.

FAIL. C'MON KEVIN!!! Why you gotta show up and tease us like that, fucker? ...*pout*

Afterwards, we got a few moments to chat with the band and have stuff signed (BJG was the Sharpie savior of the night... you'd think after almost 40 years, Gregg would know to keep a Sharpie around!). Just as the cops were coming around telling us to GTFO of the park, we got our turn to take pictures with Gregg. (YAY!) After, of course, the dude who brought his entire vinyl collection with him.

Gregg said "Let's do this before we get arrested by Barney." Totally cool guy. And no one said the "P" word... except for some smelly drunk guy screaming about "Why didn't you do any 'Look into the Future'?!? ...Hey, where's Perry?" ...Um. Riiiiight.

PICTURESSS!!!

Turning green here

Nope I think it to, he looks way better now with some years on him.

His organ looks a lot like Gregg Allman's organ...must be about the same vintage.
