Mike's electric Tele? looked like it had been around quite awhile, so I think it was an actual Fender rather than a copy (and also because he endorses Fender electrics now). I had never heard of a semi-solid Tele. I think it is a really cool guitar. Derri's 2nd acoustic was not an Ovation (I know because I have a Celebrity and want a 1861 Balladeer with cherryburst top ). It was a fairly traditional-looking guitar with a medium brown stain finish (didn't look mahogany, though) and normal soundhole. Also, the front and back curves made it look "fat", kinda like a smaller version of Terry's Guild, as opposed to his Gibson that didn't have as fat curves. I do think I remember him playing a cherryburst Balladeer (or other model with normal center soundhole) at an Arizona show BigDork had pictures/video of posted on his site at one time. Derri's non-strat electric wasn't a Parker fly (looked a pic up on the web). The "horns" were fairly parallel to the neck, a bit thinner, and the body was symmetrical, with the cutouts going down to the bottom of the neck on both sides. If I remember right, I think the headstock may have had 3 tuners on each side and a little shorter than most. |
and may end up playing it more if WE get it because the neck isn't quite as broad as MF's Ovation (it's made more for feminine hands!) 
You did way better than I could have!

| Originally posted by illustrator I just registered on this board. I hope I"m clicking all the right buttons. I've enjoyed reading the comments about the Knoxville show. I was there so I thought I'd add my thoughts. A couple more quirky highlights were when Terry did his impression of Edward G Robinson's character from The Ten Commandments. Adding that he was smoking a cigar in the film. When Mike objected that they didnt have cigars in The Ten Commandments, Terry said something like, "It was the Old Testament! Miracles happened all the time back then. I'm surprised you don't know that!" Also Terry had us all stand and do Rapture practice. I'll let someone else explain.:-) I would have to say I didnt think the crowd was as big as stated earlier. When I did a quick count it was under 50 at that time, right after the show began. But that was only in the main room, not the adjoining room. I wish it were a larger crowd. I took a friend to the show who was unfamiliar with the band. Unfortunately, he is an eye doctor and was on call and had to leave at around song #7. He did return...for the final song. He did buy the new cd however and said he was very impressed and can't wait to hear more. |
Which table were you sitting at? Were you at the front table on the right? (Reason I ask has to do with your friend - see next paragraph) MF and I speculated as to whether anyone from the DAmb was there. 
Glad he was able to return for the final song though. I saw him there early in the show and didn't see him slip out but I was on the cafe side when he returned (assume it was your friend because the man I am talking about returned right before the last song). Hope he really enjoys Mutt! I'm sure the Dogs would echo my sentiment: thanks for doin' your part!

(Jk - shes not a music lover to any degree...but lets me do "my thing.") ... PLUS - that is a Doggie Crowd !- smaller venues that fill up are what the Boys like I think. |
. I was a little bummed that I had payed to see the Dogs and had to go out with my son cuz I thought I wouldn't be able to see them. Well, I was able to see Derri and Terry just fine (had to go a little closer to the door to see Mike), so it was well worth runnin after our boy! I was especially able to see Derri - it was kinda like he was framed in the doorway.

Wow, what a great seat! I've never read this board until today, so its really amazing to me that for some reason this morning I go to DanielAmos.com and click on the Forum and there is the set list and people talking about the show! Thanks! (I was going to try to remember the set list to send to a couple of friends who couldn't come, but I'm sure I couldn't have remembered it all) I live in Knoxville and have wanted the Dogs to come to New City Cafe www.newcitycafe.com/ for years so I was very excited that it finally happened. Its a great venue to watch music. When its packed full it probably only holds 200 people or so. I was at the 77s show in Alcoa a couple months back. Other than that, the only time I've seen any of these guys was when the Lost Dogs played in Chattanooga back in about 1997. My friend Allyn (the eye doctor) only got to come because my wife had gotten sick yesterday and told me to find someone else to go. He was excited, but warned me that he was on call. The other guy sitting with us was a fellow that Allyn and I had gone with to see Chagall Guevara several years ago in Knoxville, so that was a nice little unintended reunion. |
I remember seeing all of you at your table and thinkin, "Who are those guys? They look like true Dogs fans!"
Are you the guy with the beard? (Maybe I won't have anymore questions after this one!)

Are you the guy with the beard? We'll have to all plan to get together if the Dogs ever come back to New City Cafe (or anywhere else in Knoxville or close by)!

Let me know if the Dogs come to Asheville. Maybe my wife and I would drive over for that. We have four kids (14, 12, 5, 3) so its rare that we get to do concerts together. thats why i was real disappointed that she didnt get to go the show on Wednesday. the 77s show in Alcoa was freaky for me. Mike Roe's sidekick, Mark Harmon (from California) started telling the audience that he used to spend his summers in East Tennessee. He then said "has anyone heard of Elizabethton?" Well that small town is my hometown! And then he said, "in a place called Stoney Creek". that is the small community where I grew up! It freaked me out. I talked to him for a long time after the show about it. Glad your husband got to come over for that. I heard that Lost dogs had been in Alcoa a few months back and I didnt even know about it! Did he come to that? |
Maybe someday!
We'll let ya know if we do!
Why didn't I know bout that?

The fellow who brought the 77s to Alcoa told me he had the Lost dogs there just a few months earlier. I think he catches bands if they are coming through nearby and have an open date and want to add a show. there was no promotion that I'm aware of for that show and probably wasnt much more than the 30 or so in attendance that were at the 77s show, I"m guessing. Anyway I missed it because I didnt even know about it. The Great Lakes Carbon plant your dad used to drive to is about one mile from where I grew up! My uncle, worked there for about 25 years or so. Small world! |
Thanks for sharing that.
