Glad to hear most of the Roosters are home safe and sound.

(Jedsoon! Check in!)


[quote="caligula"]Great to have you back in the forum DM, give us ALL the details of your travels :D[/quote]

Considering I was on Baby Duty for most of the week, I think you'll be much happier with just the relevant highlights. But hugs to you as well, Caligula. I'm hoping to catch up tomorrow.


[quote="policerule"]when you get the schedule refigured you will post right?[/quote]

Oh yeah.


[quote="cpriddims"]DM's flag has not been officially dubbed the sc.net flag. DM made it and did a fine job! [/quote]

How sweet are you, CP! But I'm proud to hear it called the SC.net flag. Hubby and I made The Flag. We are The Caretakers of The Flag. But now that The Flag is out there in the world, it belongs to all of Copelandia.

One Flag to rule them all. One Flag to find them.
One Flag to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

(Wow. If you think of us as "them," that actually works in a very strange way.)


Thanks for the report and the photos, CP!

And since I haven't said it in a couple of hours,
Thank you, Stewart.
Dramatic highlights & a unique musical cosmos. Guaranteed.

I forgot a few details on the show..

1. Sting actually sang "All we can offer them is a page from some F**king magazine" on Driven.

2. When they came back out for the encore, Stew ran to Sting's mic and said, "Hey people of Bonnaroo, Sting's going to get naked and walk amongst all of you!" The crowd cheered, then Stew sat down with Sting's bass and played his version of 'mission impossible' on the bass (badly) while Sting took his shirt off. (unfortunately this gave us all the impression that there was at least 30 to 45 minutes left in the set (which there wasn't!)

3. Sting made a funny comment on the mic that Stewart was "Confused" about something. It was not serious. It was funny to all of us.

Related incidents:

1. At the govt mule show (where John Paul Jones sat in on bass for a zep tune then played the organ and keys on 'No Quarter') the lead guitarist/vocalist breaks into the intro to 'Message' then stops suddenly and says "Just kidding!" That was funny, especially at 2am.

2. The Roots did Roxanne (as their closer I think) but I freakin missed it because I left and went to the Mano (last name brazilian I think) show which was a very cool big band party atmosphere show.

Not related but good anyway:

1. Saturday JPJ got on stage and played 'Dazed & Confused' with Ben Harper and the crowd went crazy. This was when I was waiting in the backstage area for The Police to arrive so I didn't see it but I heard it.

2. Govt Mule's Saturday night 1am to 3am set was incredible and I had no previous idea how good they were live. I mean they were amazingly talented and performed so strongly. They had JPJ and Hot Tuna/Rat Dog guys sit in, then towards the end they played Black Sabbath's 'Sweet Leaf.' The place was going crazy! I am telling you this was the best show I saw second ONLY to The Police. I HAVE to get the govt mule roo show on mp3 or cd SOON! You guys should check it out. wow

PR, CP is just trying to keep this thread near the top of the pile by "bump"ing it with a new post.


CP, I want you to know that half of the NYC metro area has been informed of your encounter and is extremely excited for you.


Did anyone catch The Roots doing "Roxanne"? That must have been fab.

Drat

Did anyone take the Sc.net pint of lager backstage for Stewart to see?

It would have been kinda cool for him to sign the pint glass too...
