The Briars/Browngrass: Dark Side Of The Moon

1/30/16
Dark Side Of The Moon
Rome, GA


I had a couple of cancellations around the empire, so we decided to take the gigs.  After playing in the New Moon Venue for New Year's, we were interested to see how the front part would work.  People were a little too close for my taste, and I had to back a couple of guys away.  We played really well, and had a good crowd.  There were a whole bunch of people there to see us, not just hanging out at the place.

Dark Side Of The Moon (New Moon Venue)
Rome, GA


This was something we'd talked about since The Holler days, along with backing up someone in the studio (which we've done as well).  I brought the P.A., we wrestled with it for soundcheck.  That room is just not made for live music.  I started feeling poorly after soundcheck, but hit it with some natural remedies.  The show must go on.

We knocked off around 11:40.  Let's all get some champagne and find someone to make out with.  Oh, and we'd prepared "ETIL" to bust out on Mullins whenever he showed up.  It just so happened he was there right at the beginning.
