Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

[Miss October]

Hey, Peaches. I don't know for sure which summer it was. It was early 90s, I think, maybe 92? Linda T would remember.

sorry!

[Peaches]

Miss October,

Do you recall which Summer it was that JBJ played with the Jukes?

Thanks,
P

[Miss October]

And former Jukes Little Steven, Soozie Tyrell, Barry Danielian and Patti Scialfa, too!

And Jon Bon Jovi, too, if you count the summer he played with the Jukes. So we're up to 7.

[BostonDave]

Great to see some former (and maybe future) Jukes on the 12-12-12 beneift concert. The Kingfish, Ed Manion, was there on sax with Bruce - and Bobby Bandiera was there on stage left with Bon Jovi. When Bruce came out to sing with Bon Jovi, he and Bobby shook hands, so Bobby got some good TV time.

[ajcmixer]

This is a bunch of days late and some dollars short but I need to post an appreciation of the boys in the band and their show@BB's on 12/1. After more shows attended since 1978 than I care to or can remember... ...I need to state that they were on fire, again.

So I walked in with a couple of wishes: Vary the setlist a bit (Loving Cup, thank you Jeff! Just A Dream, Save Me, Angel Eyes, Breakdown>The Fever, Got to Be a Better Way Home). Check. Play Better Days (I'm the one who yelled out for it and thank you, Jeff, for taking the bull by the horns and passing along the suggestion to Uncle Johnny... ...and what a great and impassioned version it was considering Sandy and its aftermath). Check. Do some "best of" versions of some songs (Passion Street, Walk Away Renee with a massive assist from John Isley on sax, he's really coming into his own as a Juke!). Check.

All these decades elapsed and SSJ still has the fire burning deep within him to come out and to continue to play groundbreaking shows like this one. A young lady turned around to me 'bout mid-way and commented as to how much fun I was having and I responded "how can you not have fun at a Jukes show?" Her smile was all the response I needed to see... !

Thank you again to SS and the almighty Jukes for another great night in the heart of NYC. And the same thanks to us fans that make it possible for them to come in and show us for a couple of hours how it should be done. And a special shout-out to Joe Prinzo and Pete Fox for everything that they do to make a SSJ & the Jukes show to happen as smoothly as possible. And for being the nice people that they are...

"What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz!" Lyrics from Loving Cup. As sung by Jeff Kazee.

May you all have a great and safe rest of the year and look forward to sharing the floor space again in 2013!

Peace,
Alex from Astoria/Sunnyside.

Southside Johnny and The Poor Fools- 2/7 at the city winery nyc
Thursday, February 07 2013
tickets not on sale yet? for vino members only? about time the fools played there

[ole blue eyes]

Yay, thank you South for posting the European Dates!!! I couldn't help noticing there's a 6 day gap in between Trondheim and Burnley. Not flying back right? I am hoping for some more UK dates!!!

[Rose Walsh]

I"m with you Snafu. This site makes me seasick,and I still can't find the QOW. It took a while, but I finally found the Jive. Happy Belated Birthday, Johnny.
I am happy to say that I messed up my calendar for December. But it is fixed now and I am off on the 22nd. Now I have to work on Christmas, but at least I got tickets for Bethlehem. Not quite so happy that they are at three different tables, but at least they are all on the same side of the stage. See ya'll there.

[Lin]

Yeah! I remembered my Password! I'm with you Snafu....life is getting more and more challenging.....Now, can I remember WHY I logged on? oh yeah...... Does anyone know who will be opening at the Basie on NYE? Most NYE opening acts in the past have been terrific...
Happy Latkes to All...
Lin

By the Way......If anyone is in the vicinity.......Billy Walton's Band will be in New Hope tonight! John and Peters at 9:30.....
I can't make it, but wish I could....Wish I could clone myself on the weekends (but I'm most likely the only one wishing that!)

PS....Really like the edit button!

[SnafuJohn]

Methinks the "new" website is too clever by half, with all the sideways and upsy-downsy scrolling, after a few sips of grog you could get a little seasick (not from the grog but from the stale ice [hats off to Mr. WC Fields}) - anyways the Jive is in a horizontally scrolling "News" box. And, more importantly, IS it grog time yet?

[Rick]

I can't find the Jive or QOW, either.

[SnafuJohn]

I can't seem to find the jive!!!! Oh, and I can't find Johnny's new Jive either.

[Peaches]

That bread was fresh, of course, not as fresh as some of the fans in the front row (whom shall remain nameless...). Really it was...all nutty and spicy...don't ask why but somehow I was reminded of the Lead Singer...and pricey I might add, but I really can't add so who knows.... In any event, it is probably best to bake it really well...then deep fry it just in case...and, whatever you do...don't feed it to the birds, please....

[Tasha]

There is a new jive from the birthday boy. Re the fuse in his birthday package, we know the lead singer is no handyman. The fuse was attached as decoration to a crank powered flashlight and cell phone charger, which really would be handy when your lights go out, unlike....

[steveP]

happy birthday sir, I can still see you bangin' on a pinball machine before the show at Joe Pop's in Aug, 78. How do we remember such things? I hope Vera, Chuck and Dave are doing well.

[Lin]

Happy Birthday Southside! Thanks for all the great memories......and to the
fun times ahead! Raising a Glass to YOU tonight!

[quilly]

Happy birthday Southside! You're like a fine wine - you get better and better with age...

[SnafuJohn]

Happy Birthday to the Lead Singer, and may he wear Chuck Taylors forever and UGGs (UGH!) never!

[maxxprint]

___H A P P Y_____B I R T H D A Y___ from osnabrück/germany !

good luck & good health and a lot of fun in the future...

Happy B'day Southside. Truckin' 64 amazing.

[Glasgow John]

Happy birthday Southside

[Shauna]

Happy birthday to Southside!

(It's convenient he's got the same b-day as my mother; makes it possible for me to remember when hers is...)

[Peaches]

The show at BB King's was fab!!

How great to hear a surprise version of Breakdown!

There was an early celebration of Uncle Southside's 64th Birthday to which the front row gave the musical answer: Yes!

Yes.... to each and every question that Sir Paul poses in his song.
Will you still need me?
Will you still feed me?
Will you still be sending me a Valentine, Birthday Greeting…and, yes a bottle of wine.

One of the reasons for our answer is: That Voice … it soothes, stimulates commiserates, educates and just all around sets things right.

Thank you, Southside here’s to 64 and many more and please keep on rockin’!!

LeRoy's Basement Vol. I Sounds very interesting, indeed.
Just saw Uncle Southside's Jive on the eve of the hurricane. I can only imagine that someone gave him a "unique" Rosetta Stone gift set. Perhaps he will give us an translation this evening at BB King's?

See you real soon.......

[Miss October]

Hi Pappy,

I know they like early starts at BB Kings, because there's always another show afterwards. I'd go with 8 PM.

-- Carol

[Gary]

What's this? Jukes at the Pony on 2/22/13? Has July 4th been moved up? Is it a Poor Fools show? Is it a misprint?

[pappy]

thats BB Kings not Kinks

[pappy]

Is the start time for Saturday night at BB Kinks 8 pm or 9 pm, web for bbk says 8, your site says 9 ?

[celticchef]

Johnny........How's about spoutin some prose Jive wise? Current and future Jukian Happenings and advice for the Holidays ......Thanks Again...your Carbuncle .......Celticchef

[ole blue eyes]

Please, please uncle South: post the European dates before 1st January 2013 as I have to notify work.

[Miss October]

Good morning, everyone! Looking forward to the benefit at Highlands today: http://www.highlandsnj.com/

It's not an official Jukes show or an official Fools show, but many Jukes and Fools, including Southside, will be there to support the cause.

Come on down! (Literally, down the hill from 36.)

[Peaches]

Happy, Happy Birthday Sugar Miami Steve Little Steven Van Zandt!!!

[Peaches]

Wishing all the Merry Jukesters a lovely and peaceful Thanksgiving!

[Gary]

Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving! Anyone needing cooking tips, just ask CC about his menu. I had to undo the belt a notch just reading it.

[dknj]

There is a great event in Highlands this Sunday, November 25th, benefit concert for the Hope for Highlands Fund.

[Miss October]

That's right, Peaches, BB Kings is coming up! That's always a great place to see a Jukes show, especially when the city will be all lit up for the Holidays. If you come into town early that day, I recommend the free ice skating at Bryant Park, 42nd and 6th, about 2 (long) blocks from BB Kings. http://www.bryantpark.org/things-to-do/pond.html

Who's coming into town for BB Kings? Remember, doors open at 6, show at 8 -- gotta get everything done before the disco crowd comes in.

[Peaches]

Carol,
Try Canal and B'way, but please do not mention my name.
Happy Thanksgiving and see you at BB King's.
Peace & Love,
Peaches

[Miss October]

Anybody know where I can get a handbag? Sorry about that -- we're looking into a solution that doesn't make it too hard to post, and in the meantime we'll clean up the spam when we can.

-- Carol

[kingpin]

I learned alot about hand bags, but who really cares. THE KINGPIN !!!

[finartemis]

Hi everybody! I've working (too hard ) on my thesis about New Jersey and rock 'n' roll, and I need the help of as many fans as possible to fill out this short questionnaire right here... Thanks to all the fans who will help me and share it! See you on the 1st of December !

[Lin]

Thanks to Miss October for posting the setlist from the Niagara Falls (Ontario) Show. Hopefully the organizers have Southside Johnny return for the annual event next year. It was a great night of music. Five hours of music for a ticket price of just $40.. It was great to speak to the Kingpin at the merchandise table. That makes three Southside Johnny concerts (two with the Poor Fools and one with the Jukes) for me within two hours of home this year.
