Rich Robinson forms new band Magpie Salute with *four* ex-Black Crowes members

I'll be there too - but I HATE the Coach House! I've even played there as a back up guitarist for a local band, and the venue just kinda sucks.
It's like a bad dinner-theater, with people awkwardly seated at long tables and eating while a rock show is going on. So stupid.

 

Looks like there's a bunch of dinner/show gigs on that California swing.
Discounted tickets too

 

Hi Slop 101
Glad you can make show. Sorry you don't like the CH. I love the venue not a bad seat in the house. Have you been recently? They have a new PA and light rig that are both really good. Since they put these in it has become a favorite venue for me.
Anyway hope we both get to see a great show. Have fun.

 

I'm sure the show will be great......but how good is the chicken parm going to be?

Looks like a big opportunity for Team Chris to score a few points here.

 

Sounds like City Winerys. Dreadful. Seats are one thing (and still not really optimal for a Crowes-style rock show) but there's absolutely no reason for there to be tables anywhere near a rock stage.

 

CR doesn't strike me as a great Italian chef?

 

Last time I went was about a year ago to see a friend's band. Once people were done eating it was fine, still odd with the tables though.
Though this show should be interesting/cool, as it'll be Marc's hometown gig and he'll have tons of his local friends there.

 

Cool
I think the PA and lights will be an upgrade since last time you were there. I was there about a month ago and was talking with house sound guy. He showed me that he now had the ability to walk around to different spots in the room and do a mix for each area with his iPad. So I'm hoping we get a great sounding show. I go there quite often and definitely noticed improved sound.
Love the new Magpie record so I'm really looking forward to the concert.

 

It’ll be put to the test with how loud Rich, and by extension, the Magpie Salute, will play.

 

Great show last night in Porthcawl not a crowd who were there to specifically see the band but quite a few fans of the band there. The gig isn’t listed on set list fm so here is the set list from one I was handed after the show. My memory is terrible when it comes to remembering exactly what songs were played even straight after a gig so if anyone else was there who can correct any mistakes please do.

High Water
Mary The Gypsy
Omission
For The Wind
War Drums
Oh Sweet Nuthin (Not Played)
The Vulture
Yesterday I Saw You (Not Played)
Open Up
What Is Home
Take It All
Can You See
Twice As Hard
Soul Singing
My Morning Song
Send Me An Omen

 

Just catching up on this thread. I saw the band 4 times last year but only once thus far this year-Boulder on August 30. I had a bit of a wait-and-see approach considering "High Water I" was indeed a bit more laid back than expected, and it was clear from setlists they weren't doing nearly as much Crowes material. Gotta admire that they're making their own way, and knew I'd enjoy the show...just wasn't certain I would enjoy it as much as the first tour.
But Boulder was fantastic! No disappointment and no looking back now. Interplay between Rich and Marc is so cool to see again live. I'm planning on 3 shows early next year. I hate to see Charity and the other ladies gone, but the guys in the band do a most formidable job on bgv's....and as has been said, the expense of a huge band on the road has to be staggering.
This is a killer live rock band. Yes, I'm old school, but to me there just aren't many great live rock bands still around. I go to a lot of really rocking shows, but they'd most all fit into the "roots rock 'n' roll" category. Looking forward to Des Moines, St. Louis and Nashville in '19.

Hopefully we'll see more reports in this thread from our European friends!

 

Saw two weeks ago Utrecht, the Netherlands. They were in good spirits, but the audience seemd more involved with talking to each other and their cell phones. Sound was way too loud, especially for the small size of the venue. Thank God I brought my ear plugs. To my suprise I enjoyed the songs from the last album the most. The jammy bits were a little uninspired. The short acoustic set was a highlight for me as well. All in all a good gig, but not a great one.

Hi-Res recording sounds fantastic + fabulous setlist.

 

Would love to hear that, but I’ve never understood torrents.

Eleven days until the London gig.

 

Unfortunately this seems to be more and more the case at a Blackberry Smoke gig a couple of weeks ago the noise of people shouting at each other over the music and holding phones up in front of other peoples view really took the edge off the show. It’s got so bad I’m thinking of giving up on live shows altogether.

 

Thanks for that link, I saw the mics standing on poles, right in front of the mixing desk. Where the dB meter read an average of 110, btw

 

My thoughts exactly. Why pay 31 euros to drink beer and talk to each other while you can walk into a bar for free and do the same? I just don’t get it. Why check twitter every two seconds when there are musicians playing for you? Why film 30 seconds of a song when you know it will sound and look crap on your phone? Why for pete’s sake, why!!!!!
sorry, rant over. is kicking in now

 

Completely agree. At one of my previous Rich shows, I spent 45 mins listening to 2 guys talking crap until Standing On The Surface Of The Sun then i lost it. Told them where to go, got a bit of a mouthful in return but at least they got the hint.

I'm not sure of the cost, but bands should follow Jack Whites lead and do phone free shows. I saw him a month or so ago and it was fantastic. Not a single phone in the crowd led to an old school communal music experience.

I see Magpie on Thursday and can't wait. First time seeing Marc Ford since 2006 ....

 

Download Flud, the BitTorrent Client.

go to archive/etree, download torrent file of live show.

drag/drop torrent file in Flud window.

wait for show to finish downloading.

put 24 bit FLAC files in Jet Audio to either listen or burn to CD.

(It's that easy.)

 

There are some European shows streaming which is nice for the truly technologically inept

The Magpie Salute | 2018-11-11 | Kafe Antzokia - Bilboa, Spain

 

I'll be there too. Very much looking forward to it.

 

Thanks. Don't I have to open up my computer to others via seeding or something?

 

Looks like Bristol demanded and received an actual encore:

The Magpie Salute Setlist at Fiddler's Club, Bristol

Guessing that last night might be worth hearing.

 

"sounds fantastic"?
Thanks for the link, but honestly, I thought it sounded dreadful.
Sure, great setlist, and great playing by the band, but the recording was as if it's coming out of a tin can.

 

ROFL

You listen to many audience recordings?
