what has this blog done to me? i consider arriving first on the scene to be the most productive thing i've accomplished all day...

i'm wondering why the performer in the middle (ridley maybe? i've never seen a non-crapcam shot of ridley) seems so repulsed. is dave that bad of a singer? is this related to residual book tour frustration?

and it must be observed that Dave's shirt is blue yet again...

Posted by: josh | October 29, 2004 at 09:30 AM

Can someone please ask Ridley to unplug his shirt?

Posted by: Guin | October 29, 2004 at 09:31 AM

Looks like Ridley just got a whiff of what Dave had for lunch if you catch my drift.

Do they only have guitars in that band?

And what's up with those two giant millipedes crawling on the wall behind them?

wow, looks like someone found a real camera. Great picture guys!

Posted by: Charlotte | October 29, 2004 at 09:38 AM

you rock dave!

Posted by: jason | October 29, 2004 at 09:42 AM

I see Roger McGuinn is hiding his face under a hat, obviously not wanting to be photographed with the Remainders.

Posted by: Paul | October 29, 2004 at 09:48 AM

Dave - please take note. The guy on your right is wearing what we call a "NON-BLUE" shirt. While we don't necessarily endorse this particular shirt, this is what OTHER colors look like. You might want to pick yourself up some.

Just saying, that's all...

Posted by: Higgy | October 29, 2004 at 09:49 AM

Those of us who are nowhere near any of the cities on the tour (read: Midwest) would love a soundbyte of the Remainders.

FYI: according to the Cosmic Flow of Color (good name for a rock band??), Dave's blue shirt habit says this about his personality:

"a person wearing blue is usually calm, subdued, spiritual, devoted to something or someone, very curious, acceptable to all people but perhaps trying to hide within the crowd"

Probably bunk, but I am looking for any answer to the Mystery of the Blue Shirt.

You just know that they're singing "Louie Louie".

Posted by: SteveB | October 29, 2004 at 09:59 AM

Hey stop talking about Ridley...He's a BABE!

We have an anti-aging product (Arbonne) that actually reverses the visual effects of intrinsic and actinic aging! No, joke. J.K. is not so dumb, Dickie Poo! It would do you good to try it! Just E-mail me. Signed the Kat in the Hat

I'm really starting to like that blue shirt, actually. It's like a touchstone in a world gone mad. There will always be Dave in his blue shirt to fall back on. It's sort of like Linus' security blanket... which was ALSO blue. Hmmm...

T minus 4 hours til the meet-n-greet reception in Cleveland...

hey, it even stopped raining!

Posted by: lurker | October 29, 2004 at 10:27 AM

The pic may not have come from the CrapCam, but Ridley is definitely wearing the CrapShirt.

Posted by: GDogg | October 29, 2004 at 10:41 AM

Look! They're all doing the whiteman's overbite at the same time!

Okay, so they're not really, but something compelled me to say it. Sorry. You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

Ridley's shirt might cause a fatality if tossed in a bathtub, through either electrocution or lethal levels of dye absorption. Dave's shirt would, on the other hand,be completely invisible.

Posted by: insomniac | October 29, 2004 at 11:04 AM

The Whiteman's Overbite was a dance step originated by a dancer with Paul Whiteman and the Pennsylvanians, one of the popular bands during the Big Band era.

That is a fine photo, congrats to the photog. Now some may say that Dave's choice of stagewear is a tad, maybe even a skosh, conservative when compared with the Phil Lesh look on Ridley and McGuinn's understated folk-rock elegance. But such critics wouldn't know nuanced counterpoint if you beat them over the head with it.

And without segue, here's a song request in case RBR ever comes to Atlanta -- Zevon's "Ain't that Pretty at All." It has the following things going for it: It was written by Warren Zevon, it rocks, it's funny, and this is critical here, it's only two chords. Plus you could work in a verse about that shirt and its likely stunt doubles.

Posted by: everysandwich | October 29, 2004 at 11:12 AM

Note how Ridley is craning his neck forward to sing into the microphone. It's because he wants to keep that shirt away from it in order to prevent feedback.

Posted by: Mike Weasel | October 29, 2004 at 11:12 AM

Correction: It was "Paul Whiteman's Orchestra", which I confused with "Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians". (Actually I wouldn't know either one if they came up and bit me.)

Posted by: pogo | October 29, 2004 at 11:12 AM

In reference to SteveB's post above, the OTHERS may be singing 'Louie, Louie', but I'll bet our fearless leader (booger?) is singing 'Blouie, Blouie, oh oh oh my shirt's gotta go'.

Maybe even?

Posted by: outside observer | October 29, 2004 at 11:17 AM

Second thought... "Blouie, Blouie, oh, oh, oh, Ripley's shirt gotta go..."

Better?

Booger! Wabbit Season! I'm wacked!

Posted by: outside observer | October 29, 2004 at 11:21 AM

Bangi - it the Whiteman Turner Overdrive that will getcha.

Posted by: pogo | October 29, 2004 at 11:29 AM

rock on dave, but i think the lighting makes that shirt look non-blue.

Posted by: queensbee | October 29, 2004 at 11:30 AM

WoW! Daves sporting an SG AND playing an A minor bar chord! Nice form,but do it again..and this time with FEELING!

Posted by: Sean | October 29, 2004 at 11:31 AM

WHiteman's Overbite (for those not in the know) - The procedure whereby a white man sucks his lower lip under his front teeth while dancing, or at least what he might call dancing. The term was made popular by Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) in the movie When Harry Met Sally....

Dave plays an SG? Woooo! Excellent taste! (My SG is, probably, the greatest purchase I have ever made.)

Posted by: nick | October 29, 2004 at 11:54 AM

Ah! My first triple!

Nice "hat trick", pogo.

Hey, what happened to pretty-in-pink Dave???

Posted by: pelagicsal | October 30, 2004 at 02:54 PM

(wonder if I am the only one who likes the crapcam pictures better, for some weird reason)

Alright, I just got here, but I have to notice:
Three guitars...
Sure as hell looks like 3 different chords...

Posted by: jamester | November 01, 2004 at 02:36 PM

Actually, I see 4 guitars. Reminds me of that bit in Mighty Wind with the stage full of folksingers, all with guitars.
