Mizshely, still cackling like a loon over here. The look of "crap, BUSTED!" on Bobby's face was perfect - as soon as he realised there was no sugar in it, though, it went from "busted" to "pleeeeease can I have some...?" And poor Phil "Butbutbut *we* didn't cut it! Someone already HAD some before we got here! Honest!" Oh lordy, that was funny!

You guys thanks for a great show in Eureka! Got to hang close upfront, and the band was just shredding, hitting these great climaxes at the end of each jam, and it drove me nuts! Great second set, never stopped once, just sweet David Nelson Band music from beginning to end! The music was nice and loud, and I think the encore Box Of Rain was one of the best I have ever heard by anyone! Thanks for the extra effort you put into this show you guys, you are the best! Thanks David, love Bruce Weber!

USA - Friday, June 26, 2009 at 18:29:48 (EDT)
The band was good last night but I had the most fun of the evening when I busted Phil Lesh and Bobby Weir eating the cake Deb made for Nelson and Pete (we had set it out of the reigerator to come to room temp prior to serving during the break). Walked in on Lesh with a mouthful of chocolate and started swatting him away.
Mizshely
USA - Friday, June 26, 2009 at 18:28:53 (EDT)
Hoping Jeannette Sears' and Anne Minkin's husbands remembered to bring home their Evil Dessert after last night's show (chocolate tarts). And have I Mizshely's permission to reveal that she swatted Phil Lesh and Bob Weir (Bobby-swat was incidental) away from the aforementioned Evil Dessert in the band room "Hey! That's DAVID'S dessert! Back off, mister!" Hee! Much love to the band for a really nice evening, wonderful to see some old NRPS friends, and belated happy birthdays to David and Pete.

(PART 3) These guys addict me to them much as Jerry did. I want to stay close to these people and be welcome in their scene. They may not be well known yet but they are going to be playing to bigger audiences. These guys bring unconditional love together and there is a nice family around them. I am an atheist but god bless the David Nelson Band and their fans. Peace and Love, james taylor jones

laytonville, CA USA - Monday, June 22, 2009 at 15:47:31 (EDT)
(PART 2) The soldiers were strong for a starter; Rattle Box took it a little higher and Nelson just tore it up. I would see as many shows as possible with these guys; they bring the intensity of music right up there with the Grateful Dead. Barry is my favorite musican and he just keeps it coming, David handles his guitar work very well, Pete Sears on bass, amazing with the bass and other instruments, Mookie is over the top and John Molo is an incredible talent with the drums. I wish these guys might play more often, Fran says we can go to Eureka tomorrow night. It really is a little like the Grateful Dead, I want to go on tour with Nelson and Mookie, And Pete Sears, John Molo and Barry Sless.

Laytonville, CA USA - Monday, June 22, 2009 at 15:46:21 (EDT)
(PART 1) We went to the Summer Solstice show at the Nelson Family Vineyards, what a great day of music and visiting with friends in a very fabulous sitting. Fran and I were talking about the show going home. I compared it to the summer solstice show at the Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville; put on by Morning Spring Rain. Fran compared it to Squaw Valley, with David Grissman and The Jerry Garcia Band. Bill Graham called it the champaign of events he produced. Saturday's show started with the Rubber Soldiers, (David Gans, Lorin Rowan, Chris Rowan, Barry Sless,) followed by Rattle Box, (Lorin Rowan, Doug Harmon, Barry Sless, Mookie Seigal and drummer.) The David Nelson Band, (David Nelson, Barry Sless, Pete Sears, John Molo, and Mookie Seigal) I would love to have that line up again; all three acts were awesome.

The Humboldt tickets are now at the usual outlets, albeit they saved some duckets in this pressing economy by not printing actual tickets. They have some system set up where u pay, give you a receipt, and you are on the list or something.

Hey to anyone worried about getting Red Fox tickets in Eureka pre-sale, just wanted to update you that at this point there are no tickets that have been offered for pre-sale. Typically late show type of place (10 show time?), show up by 8 or so and I think you are pretty much guaranteed a ticket.

RE BIG SIX
Hello Mizshely, i saw your post on the new message board.
I remember hearing about a guy called big six who was a prohibition era cop in the south in charge of busting moonshiners. i love the song...was that Mr. Hunter's inspiration for the lyric? i hope your feeling as well as you can after everything you've been thru. p.s. no one requested FIVIO to the song request page on the new board.

Sandy was one of the sweetest souls i have ever known.
I never ever heard him speak harshly of anyone
I first met Sandy in 90-91 he lived in Sonoma co. doing massage and following the Fat man.
There was a group of us neumann tapers,our Mission... get the tape... get the tape...Get The Tape!
we all had km 54's warm Phat tubes (the holy grail of mics) Sandys where 254's
different connections otherwise the same.The stories we can tell about Him And CHUCK the Taper, Kyle and me making sure we would walk out of a Jerry show with the tape would crack you up.Please send your thoughts and prayers to His"Bunny" Stella. She needs lots of love and Support right now.She is the one that did the food for the very first barn show with DNB
Mark
USA - Tuesday, June 09, 2009 at 21:04:51 (EDT)
The Taxi Barn show was for Him.
I never new when would be the last show for he and Stella to dance to together. Sandy moved in with Sheila and I the spring of 2001 and stayed until fall. That was the same time as Barry moved out here. So they worked on my place together and got to be good friends. He was a Mountain of a Man in so many ways.Thanks for calling me your Friend

Hey, I posted a short mention of Sandy Alexander's passing a few days ago, long-time taper here on the DNB scene and elsewhere. I got some facts wrong, and HE'D probably care, so let me set it straight Sandy taped through Neumann KM254's (not the 140s as I said, or 183s as I meant to say). Heck, he probably wouldn't have been caught DEAD with 140's!
Searching for him on the Live Music Archive is fun. I rediscovered a favorite show, SCI at Hayfork in 2003, right after we moved from MN to Humboldt... when the PA went out, everyone ran forward while they played acoustic. I remember noting the taper who grabbed his mic stand and rig and SPRINTED with the rest. Yup, that was Sandy... .archive.orgdetailssci2003-07-30.km254.flac16

Aloha, we would like to have the Hawaii tour dates announced as well as airfaires are incredibly low, but now probably is not a good time to ask. Mark lost two of his best friends in the last week and one of them was going to be a venue host for the band. Probably did not help things in planning next years Hawaii tour to say the least. Our thoughts are with Ray and Sandy's families.

Hi Jackie, I don't believe we have met. My late husband lived in Bishop for quite awhile in the early 90s - when were you there? Bob McFee - he worked on a ranch there and at the feed store until he got hurt and I brought him back to Marin. I have seen NRPS back east several times - perhaps our paths have crossed. Never saw DNB in Hawaii - when I do the islands, I like to be by myself.

Hey Mizshely,
Did I get that right, Its Jackie I was in Bishop Ca. The most beautiful place I ever was luckey enough to live. Yes the whole country is in need of good nurses. I won't get negative so its hard to talk about. One thing If a nurse is waking you up at 430 am she is doing her job and not studing the back of her eyelids. Which is to common over nights. Sounds like you have been around some hospitals. I moved to Wy and they have a hiring freeze. The economy tells how many nurses the hospital can have crazy not how many people are sick I guess no one is sick. Talk to somone working and they can't believe it. It is really hard when understaffing is going on. You always here we need nurses but they just don't hire enough. Well I will just enjoy my time off and not worry. Hope all is well in your travels. Do I know you have you seen David or the riders in NJ or on the east coast. or maybe Hawaii Ive been there the last couple of years.
Peace, Jackie

Jackie, what part of California did you almost starve to death in? I spent about 7 weeks as an in patient in various hospitals in San Francisco and Marin during the past year and it seemed to me they are all in desperate need of decent nurses! My favorite were the two Indian women who woke me up at 430 AM, shining a flashlight in my face and gasping "What happened to your nose?" I was so startled I couldn't even answer them (although a dumb question like that does not deserve an answer). Anyway, the best nurses were at UCSF on Parnassus. Suggest you apply there.

I loved living in the land of plenty. It's funny how the laws work you see I have my lic. but I can't get a smoke permit if I do I have to give up my nursing lic. or not be a nurse. That is shitty buisness. so they get you anyway. Not complaing but I thouught it would be different. now Im in wy where a kid just got 6 yrs for blown glass.

Wanted folks to know. Tickets will be availble at local outlets next week and on line at inticketing.com
for NFV show
However the venue holds around 1200-1500 so if you want to just buy at the door, it shouldn't be any problem.
It's also the weekend of the Sierra world music fest in Booneville so hotels rooms at discovery are slim to none.
I believe it is a Ramada express at the bottom of the same exit ramp(state st.) as Discovery inn exit.

DNB scene getting too numerous for a small brewpub? THAT'S a GOOD thing isn't it? Hey, Finally the longest running most talented hippie band is gathering-in the paying fans! WAY To Go! although personally I hope I wouldn't have to go to Shoreline to hear any Nelson Band... I like small clubs, I don't get lost going to and from the restrooms... One thing that helps get kind service at small venues? SMILE and say Thank You everytime to the servers and TIP them immediately when you make your order. TIP them if you settle a tab and TIP them if they call you a cab. Bar Staff aren't stupid, they remember good and bad customers, and bands can get undesirable reputations if their fans are difficult. We want ALL the venues overjoyed to book DNB.

As I recall, someone said the Last Day Saloon wasn't "user friendly", which, not having been at that show, I guessed meant that it was a stiff room and it was hard for the boasters to go out and have a smoke on the sidewalk in the middle of downtown SR. So you got your plate grabbed, whew, that's pretty rough. Maybe the tickets sold out, but people hadn't filled the room yet? They have a system, you missed out, so it's the venue's fault? There, there. Lighten up, it's spring! You control your own reactions, not other people and their trips. Ever surfed? Here's a thought experiment if you were a cartoon, how would you be drawn? What speech bubbles would be floating above your head, and would they be fun to read? Keep floating!

Example, attempts to take my dinner plate while I am still eating. Showing up at 4 pm, posted time of ticket sales, and being told none available (only 10 peeps in the place). I wanted to leave then but my friend wanted to stay to eat. Sure we got to stay, but why jerk me around that way?
Makes me wonder what went down at the Last Day Saloon in Santa Rosa as it was posted here it was not "friendly" and the band won't go back.

PART 2. The size and demands of a large crowd can be overwhelming for a small place. Ideally, we like a situation where no one feels uncomfortable. This includes our fans, our host and us. So please try and understand all sides of the situation. Constructive comments are welcome, but trashing someone's integrity and livelihood is not cool and not the kind of energy we want to bring to our gatherings. As some of you pointed out earlier "love if you can, but don't be cruel, that's the rule of thumb where WE come from". Smile on your brother, try and love one another... Peace out...

USA - Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 04:38:05 (EDT)
PART 1. Hey all, we just want to say a few things regarding some comments that have been made here about Iron Springs. The simple fact is that our scene has probably gotten too large for this size place. The intention when we first started playing there a few years ago was to have a casual, intimate, local place where a few of us could get together and play when we all had a few days off at the same time. Something that would be easy for us to throw together and have some fun on short notice. Mike, has always been very accommodating to us whenever we wanted to play. It's the one place where we could call as little as two weeks out and lineup a place to play. As time has progressed these little shows at the local pub have grown to the point where plans had to be implemented to deal with the situations that arise, including ticket sales, crowd management and capacity issues.
DNB
USA - Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 04:37:11 (EDT)
It's no wonder people are confused at the attacks against Mike et al. The complainers never say exactly what Mike or the staff did wrong. Use a vague term like "rude" or "not personable" and it has more power and truthiness than speaking plainly or specifically about the 'problems'. It's bunk, and it seems every time the band plays at Iron Springs the same people start grinding their worn out axes and croaking about what a lousy venue Iron Springs is. Maybe it's some of the fans that are a teeny bit rude? Me, I enjoyed Shoreline the greatest last week but I don't know what that has to do with the Iron Springs complainers. It's not a venue thing; big or small venue, complainers squeak and some people are just hard to please. Especially chiqueado Marin berrinchudos!
If you don't like the venews go out and make some of your own
USA - Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 00:53:34 (EDT)
I'm a little bit confused about the recent complaints concerning the recent show at Iron Springs. For those of you out there who expect Mike to drop everything and cater to your needs while trying to run a brew pubmusic venue, well I guess you must have more expierence then I do in this area. As for the wait staff getting in the way of your fun while trying to serve people, well try trading places with them. Now if you wish to see the band play at another venue that is your choice and you should see if another local venue will host the band. As for the 19 Broadway, that was such a small packed venue thta I for one would not like see repeated. Perhaps some people are more happy to go to some place like shoreline with 22,000 of other folks. Anyway that is the way I see it from where I come from.

plenty of other fine venues for the band to play 19 BROADWAY, PERI'S, NAVE'S , SLEEPING LADY, THE LOG CABIN, 4TH ST TAVERN, THE SILVER PESO, THE DUCE.
no need to put up with rude treatment by proprietor and staff - this always seems to be the case at I.S. and as an added bonus not having to take off from work to line up at noon, only to have to return later, no one gets shut out.

Why do humans complain so much? I can be as afflicted as any. It's been my extensive oberservation, sad to say-- that most pub and club, bar owners are NOT Sweetness and Light 24-7, the hours are bad, their family life suffers, and they get shit from the customers on one hand and bad juju from the Law on the other.

I live in San Anselmo. I love the brews at Iron Springs. I first saw David with the NRPS 81870. I also love DNB. That being said I can't figure out Mike. Great food, great brews,great service, but the guy is just not a people person. He won't even give you the time of day. I will continue to patrtonize Iron Springs because I like the locals and love the brew, especially "Casey Jones" double IPA. As Tony Soprano would say "What are ya gonna do?"

anybody complaining about the show at ISP ought to just stop going, and leave it at that. MANY don't ever get a chance to drive less than an hour to see Nelson in any band configuration. this sense of entitlement some have is a plague that seems to be growing little by little. best to cut the finger off to save the arm I say... props to Mike Altman, the brewer of Sless' Stimulating Stout and to Mark. someday I just might do a Freight Train Boogie with ya'll..

You guys are right about the service, but what about the owner? Maybe it was just a few of us that he took such a great disliking to, but I've seen the boys more than a few times and I have never had to endure that kind of treatment at any other venue... I was kissin his ass the minute I got there too. I thought he was pretty rude to the band as well, was there some reason he couldn't let them say a few words after the show?

cont..
I remember ten years ago one of my early Hawaii tours
had KVHW on stage in dark!. Howard looked at me and asked
who's running your stage lights?. I learned how to run stage lights that night.
Be Grateful Mike and his staff are willing to put up with us. I grew up in the rest biz so i see both sides here. I don't speak for mike but i'm sure he wants everyone to have the best time possible.
Perhaps if folks would like to make positive suggestions geared toward making it a better experience for all involved
So Far we have Dim lights,Move tables,any more
suggestions.
Also not everyone is going to get in each night, just like Jerry at the warfield

Aloha All
Iron Springs isn't music venue,It never has claimed to be one.
it is a brew pub with great food and great beer.
They have a sound system and they do live music
that doesn't make then a music venue.
And you should realize that going in there.
The whole wall behind the band is glass.
A music venue wouldn't have that.
Mike is Fan of the Band and the friends with the Band.
That is why, when at that last minute if the Boys see they will be in the same place at the same time.
they can pick up the phone and ask Mike if they can come in there. Otherwise there probably wouldn't be a show at all.
Most clubs and venues and booking agents i'm working with book at least 8to 12 weeks out. Contd...
Mark
USA - Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 11:58:19 (EDT)
I think what people want is somewhere to dance when they see the boys play without be hassled & told to MOVE! Not everyone can enjoy a whole show sitting at a dinner table. There are many venues that serve food till showtime then remove the tables up front so people can DANCE. How about bright lights. A lot of music venues will dim the lights at showtime to increase the intimacy for all involved. Mike is rude to the patrons of his pub.
A Few Points
USA - Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 11:31:25 (EDT)
Not to add fuel to this fire, but I notice that the negative comments about the Iron Springs show are all pretty vague, which amounts to a crummy bad review (i.e. uninformative black magic bone to pick). Notice how the positive comments are specific, like the food was good, the service was great, the music awesome, the company fine. If you're going to be critical (it happens to the best of us!), why not do so in a semi-productive fashion, at least, lest others suspect you of generalized downerness and undifferentiated malevolence.

I'm with Sparky on that. Love if you can but don't be cruel. You get back the energy you put out in the world. I had a great time. It'd be a drag if a few bad energy folks kept us from being able to do it again. It's usually the only chance we get to see the boys play between Hawaii and Harvest tour. And real up close and personal. Don't spoil it for the rest of us peace lovers.

yes it's a sad place to hear wonderful music. it is a dis-service to all the dedicated fans to have to put up with all of the crap that goes with this venue in order to hear this wonderful music. Mike is disrespectful & rude to everyone he comes in contact with. The DNB fans bring his business a lot of revenue. Most people have dinner there & drink lots of suds while there. In return we are treated poorly. Maybe the DNB while take note at some point & find a new Marin County venue to continue these gatherings.Peace & Love to the DNB members & their Fans.

The Dead isn't the GD, and there IS a certain glaring gap in the lineup, but they still flow and churn. How bout those harmonies on Birdsong. They played great and those songs are just such great songs, it's awesome to be able to hear them at all.

I loved the good old Gd, but it ain't happening anymore, & this version of this but can smoke! I have seen the original band well ovet 1000 times, dating back to 1970. It will never be the same, because of what is now and what was then. This band helps to bring back those memories. It can transcend you.

There's no comparing the Dead to DNB; saying the Dead raged doesn't subtract from DNB at all. I was just encouraging any fence sitters to see them at the Gorge. Here's hoping they invite Nelson andor Sless to sit in on Thursday. Doing an apples to apples comparison, there's no other band I'd bother to go to see at Shoreline. Even back in the day there were only a few great shows there. Here and now, I rue missing St Stephen and The Eleven! So bummed! We didn't leave Shoreline early from boredom or weirdness--we all wanted to stay til the end but a friend's band was playing in the city so we left at the end of the 2nd set to catch the end of the other show. Ni modo!

Go hear the Dead! Last night at Shoreline was fairly incredible, and I'm jaded and ambivalent about the whole thing. Unbroken Chain, people! The Other One, Sugaree, the piano-drums, Help>Slip>Franklins *smoked*. We left at the end of the 2nd set and I see on setlist.com that they played St Stephen, The Eleven, and Touch of Grey. Doh! Must...go...back...Thursday.......They were selling lawn seats to people in line for $20, so don't let ticket prices keep you home. There'll be lots of free tickets Thursday.

Mark
USA - Tuesday, May 05, 2009 at 10:18:18 (EDT)
That's all right and true, but conflating the present progressive form with the past tense form could indeed be termed "hearding". Think of it like a Hereford-Angus cross. On the other hoof, the gerund form of the past tense verb 'heard,' used as a noun, could be "hearding," as in "Hearding the cattle lowing had been music to my ears." I thought the rhyme of "cattle" and "saddle" was pretty good, myself, and for that lovely alliterative consonance we can give thanks to the intervocalic "t" pronounced by lazy Americans and everyone besides Martha Stewart as a "d". Now, what were we talking about?

btw, at the nrps shows, they are selling the new album which comes wthe bonus disc of radio edits and live stuff, including a great Falzarano song which isn't on the album itself, Let it Grow (his song, not the Dead or Clapton ones). The NRPS album is really something. If radio was what it was in the 70's, they'd have a major hit on their hands! The quality of the material, and the performances are really outstanding.

wow, wow, wow...The New Riders at Space in Evanston were dynamite. Nelson was amazing, playing really impressive lead guitar, pretty aggressively, trading great solos with Buddy Cage. And his vocals were right on. The whole band rocked harder than we've seen in the past. I think all the new material has really brought their sound together -- they played about half of the new album. The crowd was very enthusiastic and the venue was a pleasure.

DNB GIG UPDATE. Keep your calendars free for June 20-27 for some Nelson Family Fun. Latest news is that the festival we were going to do in the midwest is not happening, so we'll be staying on the west coast. Likely venues will be in Northern CA and possibly southern Oregon. Look for an announcement with dates soon!

Right on, James, that Morning Spring Rain Summer Solstice party was awesome indeed. My favorite acts were Jorma Kaukonen, Barry Melton wMartin Fierro, Will Bernard and Motherbug, and of course DNB. I'd have to check my t-shirt (which MSR's wife gave us for free because she's such a cool nice person) to remember all the great bands, but there was a Zappa-related band that was also great. The whole party was a total groohoohoove, lots of kids and families and friendly happy campers, the free solar shower, cheap healthy food, cool staff and a gorgeous setting, a Top 10-ever festival for sure. Yay to summer, and in more immediate celebratory exclamatories, big woohoos for spring break!
Happy Times

I see the boys are going to play on the SUMMER SOLSTIC at Nelson family vineyards. Morning Spring Rain put on a show at the Hog Farm, also known as the Black Oak Ranch several years ago on the summer solstic; there were about 10 acts, Fran is going to tell me all the acts later. Barry Sless played with most of the groups. I have spent a couple of thousand days listening to live music; the Who 1968, and The Grateful Dead 1969 at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, the Tribute to Bill Graham, Jerry on the Ell, Jerry at Squaw Valley and many hundreds of shows with other groups. The Summer Solstic was definitely in my top ten shows. The David Nelson Band is my contemporary favorite and the players in the band are FLAT ASS AWESOME.
I hope many of you are going to be at the show. The boys surprise us with new things all the time. I sure hope I see all of you and if there is ever a day to bring a friend; this might be the place. I wish you all Peace and Love I am james taylor jones)jr

Hi Everyone. So the final outcome with the board should please everyone. We will keep the old board (the Lobby) as it is for a general meet and greet area and also keep the new one (the Big Room) for more expansive threading and pix, etc. The 5 most recent posts will be shown in the blue box and automatically updated. Huge shout out to my brudda Marc for hacking the crap out of the new and old boards to make all this work!

New
DNB Board
DNB
USA - Friday, March 27, 2009 at 12:10:10 (EST)
Hi Everyone! Thanks for your input! Here are replies to some of the
things being discussed. Please keeps the discussion going. We're
definitely listening as this is a place for all of us and we need good
constructive feedback to help us keep it a special place.
Privacy - first let me say that, as lots of you who know me already know,
the loss of internet and general privacy in these times is a MAJOR
personal concern of mine. That being said, even this board is not
anonymous and in fact whenever you do ANYTHING on the internet it is, if
not directly tracked for some purpose, it is logged by at least the
server. Even though you can log in here "anonymously" we could still look
up who is posting if necessary to hold spammers and occasional trouble
makers accountable or blocked. The way all boards are now it seems they
all
want to display so much info about who we are, who we post to, how much,
when, our birthdays, who's online, etc. I personally hate it as it feels
so intrusive, statistical and sterile. My brother and I have worked hard
to remove as much of the "tracking" and "statistics" as possible. And it's
still a work in progress. We're still digging out that stuff.
We in the band prefer the current BB system too except for it's serious
drawbacks. We love that it is simple, easy, and "anonymous" and is
embedded right into the body of the page. The drawbacks are:
1. There is no safe way to add pictures, links or threads. We would be
literally overrun with spam and put the server at great risk.
2. This is a busy board - especially around tour time. Without threads
important and timely info gets scrolled away very quickly. With threads we
can have topics and, for instance, Mark can have a thread to provide
current info and answer tour questions in a categorized place. Everyone
will know exactly where to find the info they need - especially newcomers.
Okay, keep 'em comin.! Thanks!

You can check the Santa Rosa airport 1 hour away
it's small regional airport flight might be pricey.
Sacramento,SMF Oakland OAK and San Fran SFO are all about 2.5 hours drive. suggest SMF very mello airport ez drive mostly feeway thru rural and small winding hiway thru rural and lakeside. Oak next then SFO if you have a choice try to avoid comming in on friday afternoon into oak or sfo.
afternoon getaway traffic can be very bad that time of year.
Vineyards,Ocean, Redwoods,Nelson band.
anybody coming out for the summer Run have questions.

Hi Everyone! We will be switching to a new threaded style message board
very soon and we wanted to give you a chance to see it and share your
thoughts about it before we change over. This new board, in addition to
being threaded, has the essential feature of allowing everyone post links
and
pictures. Something we've all wanted and missed out on for a long time.
I know we all value the intimacy of our current board as it is now - no
passwords, easy access, a real sense of immediacy and simplicity, etc.
It's a major priority for us to continue in that spirit with this new
board. We are
concerned that the threaded nature of the board might scatter our
community
across too many different threads as opposed to the
cramped but comforting 'all-in-one-room'
environment we have now. We might tinker with changes and limitations to
this new board over time to ensure the preservation of the cool vibe we
have now in this board. You can see it now at New DNB
Forum Go there - poke
around and give us your comments, questions and suggestions. Thanks!!

Okay eastcoaster and others, we are working on a plan to do some CA and midwest dates between June 20-28. The current plan has us starting at Nelson Family Vineyards for a solstice celebration on 20, a private event on 21, somewhere in the Bay area on 22 & 23 and 25-28 in the midwest. There are tentative plans to do a festival near Louisville, KY on 27 which we hope to surround with some other area dates. We're looking into Chicago as a possibility. Hope that helps! Thanks for asking. Peace and love...

I think we all KNOW that the muse says that the DNB is the main touring band and EVERYTHING else is a side project. The only way it happens is if we all spread the word to the point that touring six months a year for the DNB is a reality (or maybe 150 of us will each commit to back funding for one gig a year). That or maybe Roger will wake up and realize he could be the next Bill Grahm with these guys...hint, hint VC dude.

I would like to say I would hire Barry to play also.I think Barrys playing is special and soulful.I have taken jobs that pays well but didn't lift my soul.It happens.I'm not saying anything bad about Barry or Pete just that I thought that the Macnamees were the weak link.When I saw them open for the New Riders in eugene I taped them and thought oh well maybe it was a bad night,Then the next night in Portland during the third song I turned off my tape deck and went and had a smoke.Was not criticizing Barry or Pete.

Google Roger McNamee.Appears he can afford to pay well. Seems like he has gathered some very competent musicians, but includes himself and his wife in the mix because he is "the leader of the band" and he can.They appear to have a great time and are very generous with the poster give aways. I like it best when the McNamees leave the vocals to the other members.

Cast of Clowns are frickin amazing and could only be more so with Barry aboard. I hope Melvin's duties with Crazy Engine don't interfere too much with the CoC's touring schedule. We caught Cast of Clowns in Marin last summer or so and they tore it up and blew doors on Moonalice (no offense, just an opinion). Moonalice just couldn't follow up or build upon the musical acrobatics of Cast of Clowns. Moonalice has some good songs and they can play fine, but there was too much Roger banter and stifling lack of dynamics--too many slow songs--they're just okay. Like vanilla pudding, and better than nothing. They're more fun when they play the uptempo tunes, but even with great musicians like Pete, Barry, et al they lack a certain, ehrmm, compelling soulful quality, which makes it hard to like them as much as I feel I should, especially given the lineup and excellence of the individual musicians. Weirdly, the sum of the whole is less than the individual parts, a kind of subtractive effect.

Hey James, I know how you feel! Sure the dancers are great, but when it comes to the dancer bumping into somebody and disrupting the show for that person, then I think that they should reel themselves in. I went to all the shows, and it didn't seem to matter how much space there was, the dancers wanted a claim to all of it, dising anyone who was in their way. One dancer thought it was funny to hit somebody continuely, even though the guy asked her to stop. He finally left, so much for buying a ticket. Dancers have a right to dance, not ruin somebodies good time!

Forgiven, shmoregiven, keelhauling's for sissies. I think we should all punish James right here, right now. I'll start. A neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender how much for a beer. The bartender answers, "For you, no charge." Ahem. Did you hear about the guy who dreamt he was a muffler on a car, and then part of the wheel? He woke up exhausted and tired. Cough. Then there was the Hawaiian bailiff who moonlighted as a bartender. He served subpeona coladas. Heh. That'll learn ya.

Right on for you, James. Not many can set their ego aside long enough to admit they made a mistake. Cameras and recorders make people go crazy sometimes; so you lost it a little, so what. "Too many dicks on the dance floor, too many dicks"--cf. Flight of the Conchords, the funniest show on tv. Me, I missed the last shows because I was standing in the rain watching the Tour of California. Francisco Mancebo es el hombre! Next year I'm doing the whole race, like that guy with the black 'fro and the shiny cape running down the California coastline. And how about Levi Leipheimer, baby!!! His name is my name too! Be like Lance, James. Live strong, and learn stronger!

At the DNB show Sunday at the outrigger in Hawaii I was filming where I shouldn't; to close to stage and this guy danced in front of my "camera" and I danced him out of there and yelled at him. If that guy sees this, I was 100% wrong and you were 100% right. I apologize to you and you were completely right to call me a jerk. You are a great dancer. If some one saw me and him and you read this please tell him so. I was so embarresed I did not go to any of the last shows. I am very sorry. P a L james taylor jones

That was one of the best Nelson shows I've ever seen. Literally, just a beautiful, beautiful chemistry. Mookie got a nifty birthday cake, Pete sang an excellent version of "Stella Blue", Barry noodling on "That's What Love Will Make You Do' nearly gave me whiplash, and they encored with possibly the best version of "Box of Rain" I've ever heard, and that includes about 500 Dead shows between 1968 and 1976. David found the perfect spot in the vocal, and just interpreted the song beautifully. A wonderful, wonderful show, with some of the coolest people on earth, both onstage and offstage; I just wish Michelle had felt well enough to make it, because everyone was looking for her, asking for her, and being sad she wasn't there. Thanks, peeps!

Just a reminder to all that the NELSON FAMILY VINEYARDS and FORESTVILLE shows are EARLY SHOWS. The music starts at 5PM at the barn and will be done by 830 or 9 and Forestville begins at 4PM and will be done by 8. Please make sure all your friends know, so no one shows up just as the music ends. We've seen it happen before on early shows. See ya soon!

WILL THE 12209 MAUI HOTEL SHOW MAKE TO THE LIVE MUSIC ARCHIVE? THANKS TO DNB AND EVERYONE WHO TOOK TIME TO POST THE GREAT MUSIC ON ARCHIVE.ORG JOE MD USA - Sunday, February 08, 2009 at 205022 (EST) ================== I've been waiting to see if any other tapers would put any of this show up at bt.etree.org or archive. Because of jury duty and personal commitments, I arrived late and left early. As a result, I was able to record only part of set 2 through most of set 3. To my interpretation, only a partial show like that was not "postable". However, if the demand is there and with the above understanding, I would be happy to upload what I have. Also, since this was a pool party, there was quite a bit of nothing in between songs. If posted, would the concensus be to edit out a bunch of it or leave it in? The run time unedited is about an hour 45 minutes. Edited drops it down about 10 minutes. Aloha from Maui

Yeah ! let me tell you!! Maui is beat up!!!!!no more aloha!! Its all glamour, image and ego, its where all the so called (special people think they live)!! sadly the people, and seen there could not be further from what hawaii and the hawaiian experience is supposed to be!! I lived there for 22years. The Big I is where i come from, and im sure all of you who came felt the difference in Aloha!!! am i right!? , and it also showed in the music!!!! See the music cant, will not and does not lie!! The proof is in the music!! we definetly need to look to another island Kauai sooooooooooo beautiful in everyway could be difficult drawing local ticket sales, however i may be mistaken!! I know quite a few heads, and have heard of a music seen starting up there since billy k. moved there! O.k. so Oahu has twice the aloha and is relatively inexpensive compared to maui and they would be 10 times more accomidating!!

I heard rumors of there days at Stella's next year. I hope not. Stella's could have been any bar in any strip mall in any town in mid america that is noted for stale air. You can see how stale the air was by looking at the photos. Stella's was the only venue that didn't take advantage of the fact that we were in Hawaii. How about three days at Charlie's instead, or the Cannery? They have a lot more character. Better yet, how about Kauai?

Great American Taxi opening for DNB would be Da Kine tour... bet it would draw well throughout the country, not just on both coasts.
listen up
USA - Monday, February 09, 2009 at 00:37:41 (EST)
Yes M. Shelly, I'm here in Chicago and I know you're right about the old days and drawing a consistent 50 or so everywhere. But I think that, in part, was due to so little gigging in most of the country. I've seen the New Riders every time they come by here. But I gotta say that for me, and as great as a pedal steel player Buddy Cage is, Nelson is the draw. And you're also right that part of the fun of seeing the New Riders is seeing hearing Nelson play lead, which is less highlighted in DNB (although I'm still loving that recent Iron Springs Pub show with the Trio). I also think that a Riders DNB show might be too much. Maybe a DNB Moonalice double bill would be more workable. Or what about DNB opening for Phil Lesh? Anyway, my point was that as fun as the New Riders are, DNB and the personalities in the band bring out a special magic that's hard to find. And it pisses me off that the last time I got to see all these guys in one place was Urbana, in 2001! Phil, pjz123 at comcast.net

And I forgot Arthur in Portland. Work of Art was in New Mexico, Alan was in Los Angeles, do you see where this is going? So don't blame Moon Alice or the New Riders, simple fact is that the fan base, while loyal and wonderful, wasn't large enough to support this type of enterprise.
Me again
USA - Sunday, February 08, 2009 at 19:42:27 (EST)
As someone who used to tour with DNB in the old days, setting up a tour with that band was a logistical nightmare with David and Billy on the west coast and rest of the band on the east coast. And don't forget the equipment - I remember the days of Alan and Timmy and the iffy blue van. and before those two, Steve Harris, "Work of Art" and a host of other helpers. But the work was too sporadic for any of them, not to mention the band, to seriously depend on it for income and support.
Mizshely one mo' time
USA - Sunday, February 08, 2009 at 19:28:35 (EST)
I don't think DNB are better than the New Riders, it is apples and oranges. I love seeing NRPS because of the material they play and because performing with them gives David a great showcase for his guitar work, which DNB often does not.

Part I. There was actually no need for this since everything I had to say published under part II despite the message I received about my comments being too long. WHAT a day.
Mizshely
USA - Sunday, February 08, 2009 at 19:22:36 (EST)
Part II. Where were all these "fans" a few years back when the DNB was drawing, consistently, on a good night, between 50 and 100 people? They are a much tighter band now, of course, and that is largely due to the expansion of the fan base but also to the band who have honed their skills. Unfortunately, outside of the two coasts, they are largely a mystery entity. I could envision the DNB opening for the New Riders on a midwest tour, but that would wear David right out. However, I think that would give DNB the exposure they need to keep going. I only go to shows where smoking is definitely not allowed because of my medical problems but I might make an exception if the double tour were to happen. Aren't you in the Chicago area, Phil? What do you think.
Mizshely
USA - Sunday, February 08, 2009 at 19:20:59 (EST)
hmm, Riders, Moonalice....didn't these bands reformform, in part because the DNB was gigging less and less? And I might get flamed for this, but I'd rather see the DNB do regular gigging than see any of these other bands (and I do see the Riders Moonalice when they come by. DNB never toured as regularly as the reformed Riders have been. If they would have, the fan base would have grown mucho. In Illinois years went by wout any gigs!!! I'd love to see DNB come to Chicago or Milwaukee....I believe the last time they were anywhere close was August, '01!!! Way too long!!!

I think what all my other deadicated maniac brothers and sisters are saying is that its time to show the rest of country that this band plays second fiddle to no other band. The best band on the planet should be calling the shots on when THEY want to throw down and play and the maniacs will show up in droves, the spinners will spin and the money will roll in by the bale. 2009-Year of the DNB!

Believe me the guys want to tour more. logistics are not as easy as some of you think. yes we can fly a few people to the east coast. what about gear? someone has to drive it 3000 miles there and Back.! Volunteers? Many of the times that the guys have a few days off together. it's a short period. You can't expect any of these guys to always be able or willing to come off a NRPS tour,Moonalice tour or Phil tour and Jump right back out there with no Down time, Family time, personel time. most people like to come home at the end of the day and kick off their shoes. what if everytime you got home someone expected you to do more work. yes they love playing but that's only three hours of the tour day. There ain't no place to give us rest you keep us on the Run!

Thanks so much David for a real enjoyable evening at the Station House Cafe in Pt Reyes. Talk about an intimate setting! For those not there, it was David Nelson, and his bluegrass friends Paul Knight, Paul Shelasky, Annie, Banana and Peter Rowan! I don't have a setlist, but it was many of the tunes from the Papermill Creek Rounders, including the wonderful "I'd Rather Die Young and Forgotten Than To Grow Old Loving You." Peter brought Walls of Time and Morning Dew. The food was great, the West Marin crowd was friendly, and a great time was had by all! Thank you!

I think it's fair to say that the race was close enough at one point that it was the push from folks like you that put the election over the edge. You truly helped in getting the man elected. Thank You!

I’ve only posted here a few times before, but I would like to publically thank the fans here and especially those at the Pahoa show for their generous support and most positive response to my opening set in Pahoa. I feel very privileged to have been able to perform on the same bill with these legendary musicians. So many to thank, but especially Jessica for suggesting I contact Mark. Mark, for giving me the opportunity to open the tour. Paul and Tim, for making me sound good. Budboy, for recording the show. My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and we both thought the epic shows we attended were equal to the highlights of our amazing first Hawaii experience. So many people asked if I would perform again and while schedules would not permit this time, I hope I get a chance to share a stage with these guys again. I believe the DNB is the best band in the land right now and Vince was like icing on the best cake ever made. Mahalo!

(Part 2)The David Nelson experience has been a renewal of support to love everyone and when the music is playing I can feel those deep thoughts of love for all persons. The current players are all love based and they create music that resenates with love. The band will grow as new people experience the sound; but like with the G. D. the growth will not interfere with the fans and band feeling close with each other. We are family and we wish to grow with new fans that will feel a part of something loving and kind towards humanity. The DNB creats a space where we all feel like family and we are treated kindly by all who are there. The DNB creates energy that revitalizes my spirituality and shows me that LOVE IS THE ANSWER for humanity. I love you all and hope to see you at a show. Peace and Love james taylor jones)jr.

We just came back from Paradise; Hawaii and the David Nelson Band,actually they called themselves the Naked Islanders (David Nelson, Vince Herman,Mookie Segal, John Molo,Pete Sears, and Barry Sless). If you ever want to know what an early Grateful Dead Concert felt like; before they were selling out every show; this is your ticket. I saw David playing with Jerry, the New Riders of the Purple Sage many times in the early 70s. I saw the Grateful Dead many hundreds of times (1,000 shows maybe),the shows were about unconditional love for me (hate based at the begining of, the long strange trip, but I was beaten down with all the love I was not deserving of but little by little they destroyed my hate base and put me on a journey of loving every body. (to be continued...)

Barb You are very welcome. You may also want to consider the other venues for DNB shows for your husband - especially since we do not get very many bands of this caliber here on Maui. I've never seen a show at Stella's bit I've checked out the room and it looks pretty good. Charley's has a great sound system - you can hear a sample of the Bill Kreutzmann Papa Mali concert from December 29 in the stream available at archive.org listed under Papa Mali in the Live Music Archive. The DNB electric shows would really be a treat for your husband. Wherever you go - enjoy the shows! Aloha!

nassau73 MAHALO NUI LOA for the info......really appreciated I've e-mailed Mark-no answer, and called the Hotel,no one knew anything. I called Bounty Music and they are not selling tickets for the pool party,only for Stella Blues and Carley's I didn't want to show up and be turned away...esp with my disabled husband who never gets to go ANYWHERE,but was going to try and catch a couple hours of REALLY good live music . So thanks again for the info ....may the Karma gods look upon you with favor.

Concerning the ticket sale inquiry for the Maui Coast Hotel Pool party.... On your behalf, I called the Maui Coast Hotel and they directed me to call Spice's (the restaurant that fronts the hotel). Well, Spice's had no info either BUT - the guy I spoke with said that if you show up, he's sure they'll be able to accomadate you. According to him, the manager didn't tell him anything except that it was happening and that he should expect around 70 people. Usually for a show of this type, advance tickets are available at Bounty Music in Kahului and the venue itself.

Not only is Ken's House of Pancakes a good place to have a meal late at night, it is the ONLY restaurant open after 900 PM on the Hilo side of the island. Ken's is also the center of the universe here, as almost all directions start with "You know where Ken's Pancakes is? Well go towards...." See you at the Akebono tonight!

Hey Panama Red, the agave rescue booth is right next to the carbon offset kiosk. We're talking dicotyledons, not dichotomies; you can have your ChristmascakeDonJuliolungchunkicecreamcone and eat it too. You can traipse over to militarized Polynesia and party down *and* cover your polluting with heartfelt token gestures and mitigating pocket change. It's easy these days. No either-or here folks, nothing to seethe, move along. Reveal the cunning subtleties of self-protection by opening your wallet for the planet. Fly the friendly skies, but plant a tree or two to eat your jetsetting carbon dioxide byproducts! The global climate thanks you, as does your third eye!

Just wanted to mention, if you're flying out of SFO to HI you can go to one of the self serve carbon offset kiosks at SF airport and purchase carbon offsets for the CO2 produced by your air travel for around $35. If flying from another airport, you could go to NativeEnergydotcom or Carbonfunddotorg and purchase carbon offsets to lower your vacation's carbon footprint. Party on, Garth!

There has to be an explanation of how - after following DNBDNTDNF for 10 years - that I get to hear rhe absolute best music I've ever heard in my life!! Last night was mind-blowing, and the band has never sounded better. It was awesome, to say the least. Thanks to the long line of dedicated maniacs who made it all possible.

Cellophane,thanks so much to you and everyone else who made the long drive to Santa Rosa for the show on Friday. I had a blast and the music was damn GREAT - David never looked or sounded better, in my slightly prejudiced opinion, anyway. And what a treat to have Mr. Laymon there~ As for North Beach, I haven't really been out much except to go to the doctor and back but as soon as I am ready to resume my life at Vesuvio's and Tosca, I will be in touch! I think City Lights probably wonders what happened to me!

Thanks are in order to Deb and Nic Grabien for a perfect event in honor of everyone's freindship with Michelle Mcfee. It was really wonderful to meet and spend time with Michelle's accomplished son, computer researcher and University TA, Brian. He had traveled from San Diego for the holiday with his mom. Bill Laymon had also traveled from Illinois to join us all at this special time. And Michelle expressed just how special it felt to her to be surrounded this way. There were many amazing presences, including David and Linda laFlamme who, near the finale, tossed on a YULE LOG with Blindman "...Show Me the Way.....", which burned on passionately straight through ROCKY ROAD BLUES as the flashing lights called for closure of the venue...............eth

So many people to thank for last night, but will just say, one of the best live shows I've had the privilege of seeing in forty years (starting with the Dead in 1969). The audience was wonderful, the bands were amazing, the venue was sensational. Bob Minkin, our official even photographer, should have pics up at his site soon. Michelle was there, looking flatout gorgeous and elegant, and I think she had a good time. We love all of you. And there's a mass of new goodies going up at the silent auction site over the next couple of days, including Nelson and NRPS goodies bags, so check in there starting around Monday. The auction runs through New Years Eve. dot kinkaidfoundation dot org has the link.

Hi, All - Just a quick stop by to give a HUGE shoutout to Mark. He's been leading the charge in putting together a very special package of goodies that we'll be auctioning LIVE in between sets at Michelle's benefit show. This package has been created as a "thank you" offering for those people coming to the benefit, and consists of the tour posters and t-shirts from all three Nelson in Hawaii tours. (Except we're completely out of the 2008 t-shirts, so it's just the poster for that trip.) We'll have full details up on the Kinkaid Foundation website in a few minutes, but I wanted to take a minute away from hacking the HTML code to drop by and give a huge ThankYou to Mark for pulling this together. (Mookie helped a bit, too, but Mark is the hero!) And major, major thanks to all of you who have purchased tickets; it's going to be an awesome show. See you there!

Well if Nelson can handle the morning show after the night show, I guess we can too. If there's too much dead for your head just take the Pahoa night off. It will probably sell out anyway and there will be a bunch of sweaty, stinkin hippies there. Either that or just play through. These are the cards we've been dealt.

USA - Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at 22:56:25 (EST)
Aloha It's hard to strike balance between doing a tour that is both financially feasible with the fans in tow, and giving them there hawaiian experience. The last two years that the band played Pahoa they got off nights Tuesday,sundays. The band has a strong following over on Hilo Side. I have a responsibility to the Band to try to always put them in the Space that will help perpetuate the Scene,Their scene in a positive way. they deserve a Friday. Not to tell anyone how to freak freely. But starting off with a little jet lag, a little hang over and a little sun, sleep depro from the time change and it can kind make for a challenge. sshhhh, don't tell anyone but it's lookin like sunday, might be the ragger. Maybe a leisurly drive over instead Dinner at Luquins and show at 700

It's a dumb perk to probably generate revenue since corporate America can take no more from us! It's good only FROM mainland to da ROCKS(HI) and expires for travel 31Jan09. How convenient? If you are interested, feel free to email me...No strings attached..This can be extended to 5 people and each of those five can purchase 4 tix...so if you hui on 1 itinerary, you got more festivities cash flow....Just hate to see them not used.

Mia, there's a direct donation link at dot kinkaidfoundation dot org. If you use it, mark your donation as being for Michelle, and it goes directly into that fund (rather than, say, the general fund). The Foundation is a registered California nonprofit corporation, beginning the sloooooow process of getting the full federal exemption. That part takes a few months, because the feds are like molasses. Oh, and not sure if everybody knows, but speaking of Billy? He seems to be a definite for the benefit, so, YAY!

Ethel, you bet we'll tell Michelle. She's still in ICU, so no visitors outside immediate family yet, but yes, Jack and Agneta both donated wok to the auction. It's listed at the site but Michelle went into hospital before we could upload the digital photos she took. Also, saw Rubber Souldiers with David Gans at the Ashkenaz tonight. They're playing the benefit, and they announced it to the crowd from the stage during their set. A lot of concern for Michelle and a lot of interest in the show. Chris and Lorin sent their love, which I'll deliver as soon as she can have visitors. You know, some people go through life just being complete petty pointless weeds and doing damage to make themselves feel better or important. I'm glad I know someone like Michelle, who earns her friends, and deserves the love she gets from us.

And LO and BEHOLD, Jack Hirschman connected with us out front due to our shared expereince of his 911 reading in the Mission. We mentioned our mutual concern for Michelle, and he said he donated a painting to the benefit, but would be away in PARIS at that time. So WE said...."how wonderful.

Updating on Michelle, so far, good prognosis. She underwent another five-hour round of surgery to remove a tumor from the base of her skull last night, and if the doctor is right, it was a complete success. She's in ICU, and not yet ready for visitors outside immediate family, but should be back in a regular room soon. She'll need radiation therapy, but I haven't heard of chemo will be needed. I'll be visiting her as soon as they let people in, and probably bringing her some Thanksgiving dinner as well, since her stay in the hospital will be at least seven days. Love to all who are staying concerned and keeping up. And don't forget the benefit and auction - some amazing items have been added to the auction and the benefit notice is now at local media print outlets, with TV and radio to follow.

No one has updated on Michelle's surgery? Okay she had five hours of radical surgery on Friday, and came through it okay. However, the cancer has spread slightly, to the base of the skull, and will require a second surgery to eradicate the cancer. She is (for the moment) out of ICU and in a regular room, which she shares with three other patients. I'm hoping to get over to see her today, since the flow of visitors is apparently restricted, and it may not happen. Updates as they occur. Meanwhile, all love to everyone who has supported her through this trauma.

Be strong Michelle, and I hope you'll be well enough for NRPS. I look forward to attending the benefit for you in December. Oh, and to the band Thanks guys. The Harvest Tour was lots of fun, even though I can't get "Just A Season" out of my head. That was an incredible version, and McGuinn would be jealous if he heard it.

Part of our gig is to make your gig easier. General note no bad feelings allowed, period. Everyone put them away, okay? This is about Michelle beating this cancer. Hell, if I had my way, I'd have called the closing act the CarciNoWays.

Thanks Nic and Deb, for organizing this wonderful show. While others were still sending out emails asking if people would be interested in helping put something together, you two confirmed a venue (and a really nice theatre at that), lined up some amazing talent, and set up an auction. I am so grateful and proud to be your friend, as I am proud to be the friend of all of the DNB fans and family. And YES! Mark informed me that once again, the band will be called THE DAVID NELSON BAND, beginning with Hawaii. Could things be more perfect? Well, yes, I guess, if I can beat this cancer and get well enough to go to a show for more than a few minutes. Love you all,

The flyer was the first piece of advertising we printed, and unfortunately that was done before we knew for sure who would be available. Again, you all have my deepest apologies for the confusion; we got caught between the gears of timing and information, and ended up handing out a flyer with misleading info. The official lineup is now posted on the Kinkaid Foundation website (kinkaidfoundation.org), and show's David's participation as David Nelson & Special Guests. Mookie has asked that his names be included in the promotional materials, and we have noted that his appearance is subject to his availability. Once again, apologies for the confusion and thanks beyond words to everybody who has pitched in with time, energy and encouragement.

To everyone - Please accept my deepest apologies for creating confusion and any bad feelings generated by the flyer for the Words & Music benefit for Michelle. I'm one of the benefit's co-producers, and put the flyer together in the first place, so any responsibility for confusion regarding billings and who's playing should be laid directly at my feet. When we first brought the benefit up with David, he naturally jumped in with both feet and has put in a ton of time and energy helping arrange things and gather people together and so forth. At a very early point in the planning, we were hoping to get the entire DN&F linup for the show. Unfortunately, Barry had to beg off due to prior commitments and Mookie has been upfront all along that he might not be able to make it back from the east coast on the day of the show.

I agree with the others regarding the holier than thou comments. You say you are not looking for a fight yet you did not explain your remarks. I did not come across any "holier than thou" types and it would seem that a good look in the mirror might just be in order as your comments indicate you think you are the entitled one.

Hey ya'll, thank you for all the wonderful love and support you gave us this past week! It felt like fans and band all carried the positive spirit of the election turnout with us throughout the week. When we took the stage in Arcata after Obama had just been declared the winner, the vibe in the room was absolutely electric! That vibe carried over to the Vineyard show and beyond. What a wonderful thing to see hope win out over fear. Yes we did! Let's keep the spirit going. You guys are the greatest! There's no place like home. Hope to see many of you in Hawaii. Peace and love to all.

I knew i was forgetting somone Greg Anton did a few tours in late 90's and early 2000's and it is suppose to read Authur was original Drummer. and Childhood friend Charlie Crane. even I get confused
Mark
USA - Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 14:08:45 (EST)
Aloha everyone. I don't believe the term misleading was used. I do know that we had several folks approach different members at the end of the tour and say will see you on the 19th. For the Band to let people think that, would be misleading. Band History is Authur Steinhorn was the original Child hood friend of Mook and Barry, Charlie Crane filled in and eventually took over when Authur moved to Oregon. If you listen to the 98 Hawaii shows we had both drummers. I think joe's first tour was fall 99 Charlie still did druming thru 2001 i think? with jimmy doing the west coast and stuff when Charlie wasn't available. Jimmy always was more of a hired gun because he had so many drumming commitments. Cont'

USA - Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 13:21:58 (EST)
As mentioned there has been many different line-ups During the DNB period. They are no longer that Band, All the more reason for them to be careful about the David and Friends. There is enough confusion already. This is something these guys have worked at since the mid 90's as mentioned by other people. so the protection of their ID is very important and should be respected. Mahalo

to Easy Wind, Your quote "not so many of the " holier than thou " self entitled few , oh well." ....has me reflecting. Since we ourselves, and many other close fans, have been folloing nearly every DNB show since 2001, and it does seem to us that the band's draw has definately increased in size since those early days, I assume you are then comparing the current ecade to a prior decade, since you mention the 90's. I wonder which actions by any nice folks at these shows cause them to be seen in your eyes as 'holier than thou--self-entitled', which is a bit of a hurtful phrase to whomever it may be directed. Thanks to consider, Eth

El Sobrante, CA USA - Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 11:29:13 (EST)
I'm sorry, I just have to say something. Does it really matter WHO is playing on Dec. 19th or WHAT the flyer said? This benefit is meant to be a time of helping and healing for Michelle. Should it really matter if David played by himself, or didn't play at all? May the healing powers of "friends" in any and all circles fill the air with the sounds of love, rays of light, thoughts of a cure, and blessings on this occasion. I sure wish I could be there, even if David didn't bring his guitar.
Missing The Point
USA - Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 08:41:19 (EST)
glad that you made it out to at least one gig Michelle and you looked great ! RE drummers. I really dig Joe the drummer- more so than Molo in this band. yes indeed, I remember when I first began seeing the band back in the mid '90s shortly after they formed there seemed to be revolving drummers for a while, Jimmy Sanchez and at least one other guy who resembled john Goodman - lol , that is if my memory serves me well. though Pete Sears is fantastic, I do miss Billy and the scene was a little different then, not so many of the " holier than thou " self entitled few , oh well. in any case the three shows that I did attend on this last run were hella fun, a big thanks to David & the band and to ALL of those who made it happen.
Easy Wind
sleepy hollow, ca USA - Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 08:20:52 (EST)
Well, if you read the flyer, you would have seen the names of the people who are going to appear. No misleading intended, David has LOTS of friends and those people are just some of them. But they ARE listed by name. And Jimmy Sanchez drummed with the band for several years...

i was wondering about that flyer that i got handed in fairfax and why they were advertising david nelson and friends when i found out that barry, mookie or none of the regular drummers are going to be there. it's not the dnf we've been watching the past few years. seemed a little odd to me that they're billing it as such. thanks for clarifying mark. great show in fairfax!

Folks-We have reason to celebrate. All one needs to do is go to their local Safeway and notice that people are smiling at each other. Other countries are realizing that the real America has come out and spoken like never before and said that this country will not tolerate being led by right-wing fanatics and corporate nazis who believe that power and oppression will solve the world's problems. We now know that we are not alone in this. We have elected a president who is actually human and comes with a God-given intellect. The other party now lies in smoldering ruins in a mire of bickering and confusion. Here's to the future and on to the rest of the tour! Thanks for that list, Budboy!

ALOHA TOUR 2009 RECAP
Wow...well, this years Aloha Tour was once again a mighty high time for all!Is it just us, or does it keep getting better every year?And we thought the first year was about as much fun as we could have! Mahalo Nui to Sheila & Mark and all those who helped them, for working so hard throughout much of the year, to make this and all the Hawaii tours the best Nelson Family experience possible.CLICK HERE FOR Complete DNB 2009 Aloha Tour Recap
DNF 2008 Fall Harvest Tour Wrap-Up
Hey Everyone, just wanted to say what a great time we had playing with you all on the recent Harvest Tour. From the opening notes on election night in Humboldt to the closing notes in Santa Cruz, spirits were high and the feelings of peace, love and hope filled the air.
Thanks to all of you that shared that magical week with us. You are the greatest and we love you. Many thanks to Joe “the drummer” Chirco for the great job he did fitting right in just like we knew he would. Rumor has it that Nelson finally has his voice back after his bout with laryngitis during the run. No more Elmer! The Hawaii tour is rapidly approaching so stay tuned for updates which start with the new announcements included here. We hope to see many of you in Hawaii. Aloha!
With love, DNB

an Explanation
For a number of reasons we feel that the time has come for us to return to our original moniker of The David Nelson Band.
Photo By Sam Fieidman
A little history: Since it’s inception back in 1994 the DNB has been a band in the truest sense of the word. Though the original songs are mostly written by Nelson, the development of the material combined with the unique journey the band takes them on at every show has been a fully collaborative effort. Unfortunately the Nelson, Sless, Siegel, Sears, Molo Band as a name is a bit cumbersome - though in reality, that’s what we are.
Back in 2005 when original DNB bassist Bill Laymon was unable to perform due to illness, we began labeling the band David Nelson and Friends. While Bill's lingering illness kept him from rejoining the band, the sound took on a different flavor with new members Pete Sears on bass and John Molo on drums. We've come to the conclusion that "and Friends" is too generic for what's developed musically between this collaboration of players. Hopefully we can avert any future confusion by reverting back to the name we have cultivated for nearly 15 years. So from now on when a show is advertised as David Nelson Band the fans can be sure that they’ll be getting the genuine article - Nelson, Sless, Siegel, Sears and John Molo (subject to his availability). This also opens the opportunity for Nelson to do shows in the future as David Nelson and Friends with any number of different musicians without creating any confusion as to whether it's all the members of DNB. So... thought you might like to know.
