What's Up Woodstock

After a short break we're back in action with special jones Andrew Guest filling in for a hospitalized Brian. For our last episode before TOUR HIATUS (Pat's going on tour), we're looking at Sheryl Crow's set. She and her band did a pretty great job so we mainly talk about other things, including movies and candy bars. Soak up the footage here: https://youtu.be/dWrrdxviU-w See you in a few months!

Actor Jerry Rudasill is on hand to point out nudity for a pool-partying Brian as we dive into the barking dynamo known as DMX. In addition, both Pat and Jerry offer interpretations of some of the erstwhile Earl Simmons' more memorable verses, and Rory and Rick are generally lost. Watch along with us (up in) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-J_BuumkuU  

DJ/producer Michael Fichman AKA Michael The Lion AKA DJ Apt One AKA Fich sits in for a very busy Brian as we dig into Ice Cube's powerful set from Woodstock 99. Watch along with us here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NwDaBxiajc

Brian, Pat, Rory, and Rick welcome journeyman Philadelphia drummer Pat Berkery to the table for a look at Counting Crows' set at Woodstock '99. Pat B.'s got years of experience behind the tubs and loads of the kind of arcane Rock Knowledge that comes in handy on a podcast and almost nowhere else. Plus, Brian sings!

Brian called in sick, so Andrew and Doug fill in as we take a look at The Roots, an incredible band from the great state of Philadelphia. There's only so much you can say about such capable musicians and entertainers, so the conversation strays predictably wide. Highly recommended watching found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyktBnkgZHc

Local heroes Brian, Rory, Rick, and Pat gather round the ol' YouTube to discuss Vertical Horizon's de rigueur performance from Woodstock '99. Keep an eye on things here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4vioNRuKko  

Back in the early days of WUW we thought it important, in the interest of equal time, to give listeners a different perspective on some of the acts we didn't necessarily care for. We'd planned call this recurring segment Otherside, and have a special guest enthusiast let us know why we were wrong. We subsequently forgot all about it, but not before we managed to get a few Othersides on tape. So since we have no Regular Episode for you this week, we offer Brian's friend's mom Judith, Kid Rock Fan. Note: this interview was originally recorded in early May, 2016.

Reformed music writer J. Gabriel Boylan rode a train all the way from New York, New York to fill in for a touring B. Rian Langan. And it's a good thing, too, because Gabe actually has a history with today's subject: Jamiroquai. Rory has no history but whole a lot of issues with singer Jay Kay, and the other two also talk. Check out which crazy hat the guy wore here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cszCm5FrSM&t=1601s

Brian continues to entertain a grateful nation, and Rick had a speaking engagement, so Rory and Pat are joined by two special guests: NBA namedropper Andrew Jones and Dr. Dog's very own Toby Leaman. The subject of the episode is Buckcherry, charmless throwbacks to a simpler, sleazier time. Watch the set along with the podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgUfWr2zOtE

Brian is playing music on the road on tour with a band he's in, so the remaining usuals are joined by Brandon Beaver, successful guitarist for mewithoutyou and Buried Beds. Beaver (as he's known) has some fun showbiz tales to share, and Pat lets us in on the latest craze for jam band enthusiasts. Speaking of jam bands, today's set is by moe.
