Thu, 22 February 2007  And so, the Lord Hawkwind said that all things must come to an end, and so must Syd Satellite. In about 1997, we broke up for good but only after playing a great show at a Lake Jordan lake house to a bunch of nutty friends on July 4th, 1997. It was a great show and I'm so glad that I got in on tape. I have transferred it to CD and will play it in it's entirety here on this podcast, part 3/3 of a special Syd Satellite edition of the podcast. Memory fails me as to how complete this show is. Certain songs get cut so there is more to the show that is forever lost. This show was one of our last and for a long time I had thought it was our last show until Greg refreshed my memory that we did play one final show where Bradley would, in true David Bowie form, announce it would be our last. No one was more surprised than Greg or myself. We formed the band and only we could tear it asunder. I guess we were wrong about that because it's hard to play psychedelic music without a drummer! True to the 60's psychedelic movement, though, we were around and "on top" for about three years. In that time, we played many shows, recorded three albums, won the 1997 Battle of the Bands in Auburn, had a guru, played live on WEGL's Cosmic Kitchen, and had more people in the lineup than the Brian Jonestown Massacre or Hawkwind combined. We influenced people's nights and made many friends. Stories will circulate and there will always be someone out there who remembers at least one show we played. I'm glad for all of it and had a blast. And who knows. Maybe when we're all 40 years old, we'll have a good old fashioned reunion. This lineup included Greg, Bradley, Alex, and myself. An old friend named Jason did the mix and even played some guitar, although I don't know if that made it on the tape or not. It's a little hard to tell. I always wonder what ever happened to Mr. Jason. Did you cut your hair? Are you still playing music? I'll be back to normal next podcast with a special war protest edition. War conservative freaks need not apply. Rants will fly. Special thanks go to Greg, Bradley, and Alex, for whom none of this would have ever happened. Thanks to Greg for coming in and giving a rare interview. Title: The Crazy Men Play Live Who Do You Love Comments[2] |
