well people, i'm really not sure how to begin a thread on New Near's. I've heard alot of people saying it was their best show ever. I can't say if it was or it wasn't, but the sheer amount of people I hear making that claim suggests something big happened. I'll just say that I haven't seen Jason Booth front & center moving like that in a long fucking time. Tim, i'd like to hear you have to say... and everyone else who was there.

Fred,

It was one of my top few shows for sure. Unbelievable song bust outs and sick version of them taboot. Great people and vibe at the Narrows. I am still recovering from it all. How was your afterparty. I probably should have went their instead, we ended up untill after 8am. I woke up at noon and drove home. my only dislike of that venue is the floor moving so much my mics swing all around. I can't hear it on the recording though...

It definately had the feeling that we were witnessing something special. It's been a long time since I've seen everyone having that good of a time and dancing so much. It was great to hear them really nail some of the older tunes as if they still played them all the time... you could tell they put some time and effort into playing a show especially for the people who've been sticking it out with them through the years. You know, I still smile just thinking about moments from that show.

Thanks for taping Clinton, I know Narrows isn't the easiest venue to work with. I'll post some pictures when I get around to it (I'm still recovering from the lack of sleep.)

I can't hear it on the recording though...

happy new year all...

it was beautiful, best slip show ive ever seen, my only complaint was that there was this one annoying girl next to me who kept screaming super loud in my ear


ah well, it was worth it to hear all the stuff they played, i mean take a look at that setlist, hard to beat

[warmsoftsimplewonder]

Where is the setlist?

Can't find it on Slipbase.

really... what can be said about nye? words can't do it justice and no matter how good the tapes turn out(thanks cleantone) they won't tell the whole story either. you had to be there and luckily most of us were. the energy in that room was like nothing else. it wasn't a concert or a show it was fucking party and what a party it was. it was confirmed for me that something truly special was going down when they played honey melon IN THE FIRST SET! everyone there turned that place out, nothing but smiles and people seriously getting down. just seeing how much fun the crowd and the band were having seriously made my night. at points it seemed like we were all playing them. one of the many thoughts that ran through my head all night long was what does 2005 hold in store for BAM? with the new album due out will this be their breakout year? i can honestly say that if we have to turn them over to the masses in '05 then i am totally comfortable doing so on this note. i'm unwilling to say this or any other slip show i've seen is "the best" because every slip show i've seen holds a special spot in my heart but this one will always be right up there with some select others at the top of the list.

Re:> the dirt?


The snowball fight *in* the hotel after the lupo's show was fun, but hitting tim in the face with a snowball during the new years show was just too clasic..

The setlist freakin rocked though; I haven't danced into a sweat that hard at a Slip show in years..


[post a reply]

Ha!! Even the man himself knows it...

[Cleantone]

Where the fuck is the recording of this anyway. Whats taking this asshole soooo long? It better sound good.

[tim]

i heard the taper who was there likes to sit on his tapes

[Cleantone]

You heard that wrong, I heard he shits on crepes.

[diesel]

what a douche, i heard hes going to the schleigho / oshe show. im thinkin of going to the show just to shove that stand up his ass.

[Cleantone]

get it right, it's "schleighoshe"

seriously, I encourage everyone to come celebrate my birthday. side note, I may be celebrating at the Narrows on the 7th too, migh as well. (my bday = 8th)

[tim]

either way he's an asshole. i talked to him at narrows,

me-"hey man thanks for taping! want some champagne?"

taper- "yeah sure, i've been waiting all night for you to piss in my mouth"

me-"huh? well ok. ummm, when do you think the show will circulate?"

taper-"i hope you know this isn't my only project right now. first i have to master the tapes of your mother's post show gangbang...that's going to take weeks to get the levels just right. i want to make sure the screams are at the perfect levels. next i have to get to work on the particle holiday run. that's definitely at the top of my list. you know those guys actually pay me money right? for christ's sake, all the work i'm doing here and all i'm getting in return is this fucking slipPeace t-shirt. hey look there's brad, why don't you go ask him why he rips off broken social scene or something. i got work to do."
