a newfound appreciation for brent
#5379489 - 03/08/06 10:00 PM (18 years, 25 days ago) |

so, i just watched "ticket to new years" from 87 - i bought a dvd that claimed to be "downhill from here" (alpine valley 1989) in some black-market shop in bangalore, and it turned out to be ticket to new years. anyhow, with a couple of glasses of pastis, a few bowls, and an acoustic to jam along with the film, it made for a most pleasant () evening
and as i've never noticed before, brent held his own!

yeah, that's the one. they're talking about "now you can enjoy new years without drugs or alcohol"
also, there is a deadhead q&a, that consists of 3 types of questions - people asking bob why he sucks (haha, well not quite so bluntly, but almost...), starry eyed fans wanting to know if the band has the same deep connection with the fans that the fans do with them (jerry responds, "we can't even see you out there."), and then jerry's daughter wanting to know when she's going to get a new car.
they cut out the last couple of songs (ikoiko and some others) from the dvd, though..

Yes! I have a shirt with him, in the later years, with Just a litle sweetness printed underneath it. It's cool, because there is a rainbow that is blinging like a halo, on the side of his head.

he always has this intense look that kinda creeps me out.
but the addition of a lot more sounds to dead keys than just piano was (for the most part) a very welcome one!

I love his carnival type keyboards and synths. He is easily my favorite keyboardist. Great show with him is "Go To Nassau",May 15/16 1980. His organs are blazing on this album. Jack Straw>Franklins>New Minglewood Blues to open the show. And there is a song that brent wrote and sings, "Far From Me".
Also..another Brent note...Hey Pockey Way...what a kickass song. So goovy/funky.i love it.

Brent was the man. His keyboard playing was phenomenal and his gruff, weathered voice complimented the entire band nicely IMO. It's too bad he picked up on the habits he did otherwise he'd still be around today.
