Notes

One of those crazy sweaty shows packed with all kindsa music from "some of the best f#$%ing musicians in this city", as you hear stated on the disc by the Emcee. Those who were there know what an insane night this was. Now everyone can hear what went down!

NOTES ON: THE GOLDEN GATE GRAMBLE

Because of the revolving musical lineup, tried to figure out who was on which songs, some from memory and some from years as a sound aficianado. COULD BE WRONG but think its right.

01. Gramble Brother

Notes:
Every musician from the event appeared onstage during this song.

02. Shakedown Street

Notes:
Everyone stayed up for this too. Song was teased earlier in night over PA by DJ Superchill. Jackie Greene sings, plays keys and some guitar. Tim Bluhm and Greg Loicano and Nikki sing backups. Deren Ney on "wah" guitar.

03. Sugaree

Notes:
Grateful Dead tune. Jackie sings and performs lead. Bluhm and Ney both solo (Bluhm's was the bluesier one.)

04. Honeydew

Notes:
Mother Hips song. Performed by Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono of Mother Hips, Fred Torphy, Steve Adams, and Bradly Bifulco of Big Light. SICK.

05. Cocaine

Notes:
Lebowitz on guitar and vocals, Adams on bass, Bifulco on drums. I believe Fred Torphy is playing second guitar, but not sure.

06. I'm Only Sleeping

Notes:
Greg Loiacono on vocals/guitar. Tim Bluhm and Jackie Greene on background vocals, Lebowitz on "that backwards solo", Gramblers drummer on drums.

07. Pablo Picasso

Notes:
Modern Lovers song. Vocals by Charles Gonzalez (aka DJ SUperchill.) Greene on keys, Lebowitz on guitar.

08. Down By the River

Notes:
Neil Young tune. Bluhm and Loiacono on lead vocals and guitar, Greene and Ney on guitar, Lebowitz on lap steel, Bill Cramer on bass, and lots of randoms up there singing.

09. Wrecking Ball

Notes:
Gillian Welch tune. Big Light w/ Lebowitz on lap steel and Ney on slide guitar.
