EJ you ever dive into Southern Harmony?

Before the Frost is as good as any. Great idea, well executed. Exquisite, lived-in playing.

Its okay, you can call me an old f*ck. Not sure about my maturity yet...
I'm reading a bit about their history right now. Safe to say this has been a pretty dysfunctional band, eh? One guy quit to become a yoga instructor?

The three that have always remained intact are the Robinsons and Steve Gorman. As I said before, Gorman being the mainstay at drums is an indispensable throughline for this band.
The Robinsons fought each other constantly back in the day but I think the hiatuses have helped that some.

I think Eddie quit right before the show but from what I remember Chris Rich and Marc Ford killed it that night. I left feeling blown away. I must have seen them 25-30 times and the performances of Bad Luck Blue Eyes that night might be the best thing I've ever seen on stage.
Only seen them with Jackie Green once but he was damn good. Glad they started varying the setlists up more this tour.
My Ranking.
Southern Harmony
Amorica
Three Snakes
Before the Frost/Until the Freeze (i look at it as one album statement, I heard it like that first anyway)
Lions
Warpaint
SYMM
By Your Side
Its hard to look at the Lost Crowes or whatever you want to call that collection of songs as an album on its own. Many of those songs were changed or polished up then appeared on later albums in some form. There's a few on there that I simply will never understand how they could be left off an album; another roadside tragedy, feathers and title song are great tracks. Title song live is much better than the studio version out there though.

the Orlando January 06 show? Ed didn't quit, and I know I used to know the real story behind him not being there but I sure as hell don't remember now...pretty much a forbearing of what was to come after August of 2006 though...and I'm with you on Sven, he should've been in the band from the beginning given his relationship with Chris and Rich
despite their claims, I don't buy that Tall was a finished product...Band however was absolutely a finished product that was presented to their record label and rejected...
Steve came back on 5.5.05 in Atlanta...every date before then in 05 had Bill Dobrow on drums...Chris usually lost it on him off mic at least once or twice a show...his last show (Louisville I think?) is fucking fantastic though...I think he knew Steve was coming back and the pressure was off
