Guest funknjam Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hey now - DSO rocked it. On JamCruise I'm what's known as a "Repeat Offender." I've been on JamCruise since the the very beginning. It's very rare for me to catch BOTH of a band's shows in their entirety. As some of y'all have come to learn, there's just too much music goin down on that boat! Anyway - LOVED the theater show. LOVED the pool deck set. And yes - Lisa Mackey singing on Creepy Alligators - no matter what Steinberg says (Jambands columnist aka zzyzx) says was cool! He actually leaned over to me while it was going on and said, "this just isn't right." And I looked at him and said, "Dude!!! It's freakin awesome! ROLL WITH IT!!!" Someone mentioned DSO sit-ins. One that was not mentioned was a DSO member sitting in for Scarecrow's set. Scarecrow is the current bass player in New Riders of the Purple Sage. He was on board this year as a worker and a player. He was the guy responsible for keeping an eye on the disco and driving Warren Haynes to the airport when he departed mid-cruise. But he also got two sets. I missed the first but the second set had Rob Koritz sitting in on percussion. George Porter joined them on stage for a couple tunes also. And I don't think anyone mentioned Dino English playing bass in the Jam Room. Yeah, I saw ya! The Jam Room had not quite taken flight for the evening yet and some musicians were in there just messing around. I said it on the JC board and I'll say it over here too - Kimock kinda ruined Lovelight for me on the pool deck. He turned up louder than the voice of god and relegated Sharon Jones and Colonel Bruce Hampton - whose vocals I was interested to hear - to the background. When it became clear that Kimock was never going to stop his endless noodling and let some more vox happen, SJ and Col Bruce just left the stage. That tune couldn't have ended quick enough for me. Someone on the boat described Kadlecik and Kimock's interaction in the Jam Room as "The Battle of the Opposing Jerrys." Yeah - that about summed it up. They never seemed to actually mesh and find any kind of groove. And because I'm biased and opinionated I'll just continue to place that blame entirely on Kimock. I have a total love/hate thing going with him. I also got a chance to watch Lisa Mackey participate in the "Women in Jam" workshop. This was basically a round-table discussion with all of the booked female artists on board plus Tonya Shylock from Mountain of Venus and a few female production staff. And though I didn't hear her speak, I personally know a columnist from the New Orleans Picayune who was sitting next to Grace Potter for the whole time. Lisa Mackey shared some of her thoughts on music and its healing properties for her. She's apparently very in to the whole native american spiritual medicine music thing. Anyway - there were fewer than 10 cruisers in attendance for this thing and it was interesting.... even though it did for a while become the "Sharon Jones Story Hour." I can tell y'all this though.... The only artist in that circle who had me COMPLETELY agreeing with EVERYTHING she said was Grace Potter. For a chick so young, she has her sh$t remarkably pulled together. So in the wake of JC6, I think back on JamCruise 5 and watching the "Sounds of San Francisco Tribute" which was made up of members of ALO, Hot Buttered Rum, Zero, and Donna Jean Godchaux. The place was packed. Disco Biscuits were playing on the pool deck. I was hanging with one of the JC bigwigs who started the whole event and I said: ME: "Hey, out of everything going on on the boat right now - tDB, Jam Room, etc, there are more people in here for this than any other show - period. Next year, we need DSO on the pool deck." HIM: "Think bigger - The Dead on the pool deck." ME: "No - even The Dead don't play the Grateful Dead like DSO plays the Grateful Dead." HIM: "We'll see...." Well "HIM" was standing right in front of me the entire DSO pool deck set and grooving his ass off. And you NEVER see him at a full show for the entire time. All I needed to do was slap him on the back once, smile and wink, and that made for one of the best "I told ya so" I ever got to deliver! I hope DSO comes back. Although I did hear a NASTY rumor that ONE PARTICULAR BAND MEMBER DID NOT enjoy the cruise experience. I hope I heard that wrong.... Anyway - I hope to meet some of y'all on the boat one year. I'm usually pretty easy to find... Just look for any of the Florida FunknJam family. We're all over that boat and all know each other. And maybe I'll be in the big afro wig again..... Peace, DSO Peeps! D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advisory Board Herdygerdy Posted January 25, 2008 Advisory Board Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Although I did hear a NASTY rumor that ONE PARTICULAR BAND MEMBER DID NOT enjoy the cruise experience. Not to mention any names, but I think the person in question, couldn't get their sea legs in order and didn't feel well for most of the trip... Other then that, I don't know how you COULDN'T have a blast on that trip... Hell, even Cameron had a smile on his face most of the time... and that aint an easy feat!

Guest funknjam Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Not to mention any names, but I think the person in question, couldn't get their sea legs in order and didn't feel well for most of the trip... Well I hope that was it. I asked specifically at the time if sea-sick was the issue and of course you know the rumor-mill, at best part correct and always incomplete. There were a lot of people sea-sick this year. I don't think there has been a sea-sick issue like this since the first cruise. Just luck of the draw really. The ship spent a lot of time trying to skirt a big storm that was kicking up some serious rollers that made a lot of pax and artists sick. Even the second Soulive show Neal Evans couldn't leave his cabin for it. And since Neal is an exceptional badass on keys, it required TWO musicians to replace him - Ivan Neville on keys and George Porter Jr on bass. All I know is that the seasick member of DSO could not have been Rob Koritz - seems everytime I turned around I saw him groovin at one stage or another. Really sorry (and glad) to hear the issue was seasick and I hope that does not discourage DSO from being a part of the cruise in the future. Seriously - this was about the worst it has ever been so odds are next time will be just fine! D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Eaton Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Just want the record clear here.. I was NOT sick at all on the trip. Do I like boats? NO... Would I go again if I had to? YES.. Would I go just to go? NO.... That being said I did my best to enjoy the trip and did have fun. I went on a zip line tour through the jungle that finished on the beach in Rotan. Saw some music on the boat. Spent a lot of time at the many bars on board. Ate more then I should have. overall I did not complain, wimper, whine, get sick or anything so I guess the band member in question could not have been me.......
