Good morning! We had beautiful weather for last night's show outdoors at Coney Island. Contrary to persistent rumors, the beautiful Twistina did not make a surprise guest appearance, although Sealboy was spotted in the area after the show. No freak show, just a few "freaking message boarders." Here's the setlist:
Shake 'em Down
I Played the Fool
Till the Good Is Gone
Gin Soaked Boy
Talk to Me
Lost
Without Love
Harder Than It Looks
This Time It's for Real
Love on the Wrong Side of Town
Fever
Trapped Again
One More Night to Rock
Band lineup:
Southside Johnny, vocals and harmonica
Jeff Kazee, keyboards
John Conte, bass
Tom Seguso, drums
Billy Walton, guitar
Ed Manion, baritone sax
Neal Pawley, trombone
Chris Anderson, trumpet
Joey Stann, saxophone
Next up is the Lobster Festival in Rockville, Maine. I won't be at that show, so please post the setlist if you happen to catch it.

Last night, on the Island of Coney, amidst the Freaks, the Fries and the announcement by the Always Perky Borough President that Junior's was selling cheese cake for today only (Friday) at 60 cents a slice...The Lead Singer's was full of soul, sentiment and clarity....one of the best versions of The Fever and Without Love ever! Mr. Kazee dazzled as well with great harmonies and flyng fingers of fate! 60 cents a slice....why are you even still reading this!!!!

We just got back from tonight's Coney Island jig.Great show once again.Only played for a hour,but one hour of Jukes is still better than 8 hours of work!! SSJ harmonica playing is outstanding and "the pipes" have never sound better.Stayed for Thorogood and had a bunch of laughs at them.....Guys try to come back again..See ya soon ,hopefully at Martell's(would be a first)-I could use some help to where to stay?

Pollstar shows alot of dates for John Cafferty but some of them are incorrect. Here's a really great show coming up at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank NJ....
Sixties Rock n' Roll Revue starring Felix Cavaliere's Rascals, Gary U.S. Bonds, Mitch Ryder & John Cafferty!
Friday, October 01, 2010, 8:00 PM
Tickets: $75, $49.50, $39.50, $25
One time only... a concert of all hits by the original artist's who influenced thousands of others and have entertained millions for over four decades. Finally a concert featuring the actual rockers who gave us so much of the roots music that formed the Jersey shore sound.

Carol, I know nuttin' bout Junior's other than the one I visited. All I know is is that it was good, whether it's an original or a copy or something else. Oh, and to keep this from turning into the food network message board (oops, I meant Forum), I wish I could have been at the Ridgefield show-sounds like it was fun. As it is, I have to wait until November to fill my Jukes addiction.

Oh, Rick. . . did we just open a can of worms about the real Junior's in Brooklyn and the chain locations? New Yorkers tend to get pretty prickly about that kind of thing. Or are they all the same in this case? I don't know, but I'm having flashbacks to the "sauce" vs. "gravy" debate from a couple of years ago.
At any rate, the skies are clear over midtown, and the weather out at Coney Island shuold be clear by showtime. See you there!

Peaches, saw your comment about Juniors and the cheesecake. Was in NYC over the weekend and went to Junior's for the first time, since there was one right around the corner near Times Square. Ended up there 3 times for the cheesecake-it's worth the effort to find one!

QoTW...A flood of quetions since I broke ground about a year ago. Remember SSJ didn't like John Popper. No mention of James Montgomery or Kim Wilson. I caught the Fab T-Birds a few months back...Kim sent the band off stage and played about 15 or so minutes out of a suitcase of harps...then brought them back...classic. I growup in the same town as Magic Dick...New London, Connecticut.
BROOKLYN...Cousin lived in Park Slope...GREAT FOOD!

Hi to all Jukesters, especially in the Chicago area. While only very peripherally Jukes related (that you guys had equipment stolen once), it's happened to another band, The Dig. Last night btw 3am and sunrise their van was broken into and robbed in Chicago on the corner of Leavitt and Evergreen Aves in Wicker Park. Missing: Bass Guitar - Fender - Ivory boby, Black pick guard; PRS Guitar - McCarty Model - Dark Red; Guitar - Fender Telecaster - Light Brown body, Black pick guard; Guitar - Epiphone 1967 Sorrento; Bass Amp - Ampeg V-4; Guitar Amp - Fender Deville "212"; Custom Speaker Cab; Snare Drum Ludwig; Rack Tom - Slingerlan; laptop, iPod and other personal items. If you're in this area, please keep an eye out for this gear. I know they'll appreciate any help in getting it returned.

Another great review from another witness / writer that bemoans the fact that they were only up there for 40 minutes!
If only they knew the true greatness we have witnessed at the Pony and Tarrytown- if they thought those 40 minutes were power packed and fun?
Great to see the excitement they brought to KY and that after a 6:30 am flight.

Happy 30th anniversary to CADDYSHACK one of the all time great movies -right between Casablanca and Gone With The Wind and just a notch above SUMMER SCHOOL with Mark Harmon!
Yes I am a classics kind a guy and I bet there are more of you out there that share that feeling.
What a nice day to stay inside and pop open a few Coors Lights-haha (or whatever you enjoy that gives you some buzz) sit in your AC and pop in an uncut version of this wonderful piece of comedic "GENIUS" (suddenly a popular term here) between some of the best ever performances by some classic "goof actors".
Sit back-kick back and enjoy!
Love ya Rodney and Judge Smails and those were THE days for Murray and Chase and maybe many here too!

FYI, "There is no Off position on the genius switch" is a line that David Letterman has been using for years & years. It's a good line, which is why Letterman keeps bringing it back.
Didn't Southside actually say that it was a line Jeff keeps using?

(Sorry in advance for the long post, but darnitalltoheck, I've got a lot to say about last night's show!)
After a week of playing short sets to what sometimes seemed like other bands' audiences, the Jukes finally got a chance to play their show to their fans last night in Tarrytown, and I'm really glad I got to see it. Sometimes a quote from the show ends up being the title of the bootleg (like the Club Casino shows "So Easy a Caveman Can Do It" and the one about the poor girl with the wardrobe malfunction), and I think we have a pretty clear choice for the name of the tape from last night's show. Early on in the show, after doing "Tango till They're Sore" at several different speeds, because "The Dude does not play slow," Southside grinned and snarked, "What a waste of an evening." I thought that would have been a good bootleg title, but a little later on, Southside summed up the whole evening, in my opinion, when he said "There is no 'off' on the genius switch." The whole show was so spontaneous, and so funny, and sounded so great, that it really was a genius night.
But enough gushing from me, here's the setlist:
7/22/2010
Tarrytown Music Hall
Tarrytown, NY
Coming Back
Cross That Line
Better Days
Baby's Gone for Good
Tango till They're Sore
Walk away Renee/Hot Fun in the Summertime
I Played the Fool
Harder Than It Looks
Nothing but a Heartache
Lost
Talk to Me
Hearts of Stone
One More Night to Rock
Paris
Woke up This Morning
Looking for a Love (sung by Jeff)
Take It Inside
This Time It's for Real
You're My Girl/Low Rider
Fever
Trapped Again
First Encore:
I Don't Want to Go Home
You Can't Bury Me
Second Encore:
Ruby Thursday (yes, Thursday, sung by Southside and John Conte)
Rainy Days and Thursdays/Thursday, Thursday/Thursday Night's Alright for Fighting
We're Having a Party (with guest sax player)
Band Lineup:
Southside Johnny, vocals and harmonica
Jeff Kazee, keyboards and accordion
Billy Walton, guitar
John Conte, bass
Tom Seguso, drums
Glenn Alexander, guitar
Ed Manion, baritone sax
Neal Pawley, trombone
Chris Anderson, trumpet
Don "Don! Don! Don!" Harris, trumpet
Joey Stann, sax
Some other little details that made the show special: Southside musing that a broken set of maracas would make a good home for a shrine to Jeff Kazee; Billy Walton showing off a neat trick of flipping his guitar pick in the air and catching it without missing a beat (I've seen drummers do that, but not guitar players); Southside deciding the band would play "Paris" like it is on the album, and not how they've been playing it live; Joe Prinzo informing Southside over the house speakers that Southside was wearing a Real Madrid soccer shirt; Southside obsessing on the Hawaiian shirt sported by front row fan, Lou; and last, but certainly not least, the fabulous Tarrytown audience staying on their feet and clapping for a second encore after the house lights had already come up.
Who's schlepping out to Coney Island next Thursday? Funny thing is, I saw the same bill at my first Jukes show almost 25 years ago when the band opened for George Thorogood at the Meadowlands. You like to think you're making some kind of progress in your life and then something like this comes along to show you that you're right back where you started! At least the music's good.

Agreed SNAF- best band period! I have never felt that "bar band" gave the Jukes their rightful due! Man they are so much more. In fact for this show I have seen some print about GT but nothing on Jukes and like many I thought the billing should have been reversed for this particular show!
Please there is no comparison and no competition.

Wait a minute: from the 2010 Seaside Summer Concert Series website (the July 29 Jukes appearance) I read: "After 35 years as "The World Greatest Bar Band," George Thorogood & The Destroyers are still bad to the bone." Them's fightin' words! A battle of hyperbole! Well anyway, I never felt that the Jukes were MERELY the world's greatest bar band. Just the world's greatest band, PERIOD. So there.

Yeah what a terrific night. What a treat to be in the third row!
Nothing I can add to what gman & others have already said. Between this & Montclair, I think I've caught two great ones. Hopefully this won't be the last of the year.
I got some pix, not nearly what I'd hoped as I'd forgot that my memory card was almost full. Will post a link to photobucket when I have them uploaded.
Sometimes it's weird going to so many shows solo, but I wound up having a nice chat with the fellow in the next seat. In the end, totally glad I made the trek from Jersey.

The use of the phrase "best show ever" can seem to come way too often but in the case of last nights show-it was ONE OF THE BEST and MY best and that was confirmed by the giddiness of all who spoke about this show afterward.
What we saw was one enlarged and finely tuned bunch of Jukes "refreshed by Billy Walton" and new horn "stand ins" that truely blew the roof off the old place. It reminded me of the songs from the live IDWTGH album recorded from the Stanley in Pittsburgh capturing all that excitement between the band and the crowd.
To me never have the Jukes and SS had as much fun as they did last night once SS chased away an overzealous (but she was just doing her job) staff member and let the crowd rush the stage to Talk To Me for "just this one song".
From there the crowd never left or sat down and it was just one mesmerizing song and funny comment or comedy skit after another that culminated into what I would call a "Ruby Thursday" songfest that had everyone in stitches-yet left us amazed at the talent shown for all those songs from others the Jukes interwove including an Elton John shout out from JK. I dont want to go on as this is already long.
But THANKS to the Jukes and the equally great and loud and dancin and singin crowd that energized SS and the boys to perform to one at of their greatest heights.
This one really brought us back to those youthful days of the 80`s when the powerful Jukes were kings of their turf.
They really reclaimed that last night in one of the grand old theatres in this country!
In this case I do not think it was an overstatement.

Total agreement on tonight's show.....it was terrific! Great mix of old and new tunes....and thanks so much to Southside for getting the seat policewoman to allow us all to dance! It was getting nearly impossible to stay seated, but she was quite forceful...thought I was going to be escorted out because she somehow knew that I could not stay seated much longer!

My parents always taught me if you have nothing good to say, don't say it. That's how I felt after th Ridgefield, CT show earlier this year. As much as I like the new album, there were just too many songs placed together in one set. Tonight, in Tarrytown, Southside got it right. All I can say is Wow! He blew the roof off the joint. The setlist mixed old (mainly Hearts of Stone songs) with new. The set also had Coming Back, Better Days, Walk Away Renee, Paris, Nothing but a Heartache, IDWTGH, Fever and ending with Having a Party. It was great. Great job guys!!!

As a former Tarrytown resident, I can tell you that the train station is a very short walk to the Music Hall -- just straight up Main Street. However, as Miss October said, it is all uphill. A very steep uphill. And in this humid weather, that walk is no picnic. There are plenty of taxis waiting and available at the train station. That may be your best option.

Thanks for the setlist, Quilly! It was weird to see so many Jukes fans at a show in their work clothes. (And it was probably weird for the folks in our offices to see us come back from lunch with maracas and shaky-egg-things, too.)
It was an unusual setup, so if anybody got pictures, please send them in. John Conte was playing something that looked like an enormous acoustic guitar but played like a stand-up bass, Glenn Alexander played a very shiny steel acoustic guitar, and Tom Seguso rocked a fabulous snare/tambourine/cowbell combo. And for folks listening at home, that was The Dude on the trombone solo in "Walk away Renee." I think that's a first.
If you missed the live broadcast on Sirius's E Street Channel 10 (which is also channel 6010 if you get Dish Network), it will be rebroadcast at midnight tonight.
Back to work!
