“Gold Dust Woman”

I’ll post them as they come in but it will be hard to beat this early writeup from Scott at Hidden Track

Co-Hosts Warren Haynes and Grace Potter opened the show backed by a ridiculously tight supergroup, which included Joe Russo, Booker T. and Will Lee. They fired up intense versions of Find The Coast of Freedom and Gold Dust Woman, as well as a funky Take Me To The River. Many of the impromptu bands that were put together tonight were pretty good, but this band could be absolutely dangerous playing a full show. More please.

and

Grace Potter did an amazing job both co-hosting the show and playing with the supergroup, as well as sitting in with Rose Hill Drive and Leslie West of Mountain (Mississippi Queen was sick!). She gets an A+ on the slinky dress that showed off her never ending legs. She also gave a brief heart-felt speech about growing up in Phish’s Vermont. For those keeping track at home Potter changed outfits three times.

Review from Relix Magazine

The strange bedfellows ran through a cover of The Flaming Lips’ “Are You A Hypnotist?,” before Mountain guitarist Leslie West took the stage with Rose Hill Drive for the evening’s loudest offerings. The hard-rock guitarist jammed with Rose Hill Drive and Potter on a version of “I’m Going Down” that included “Close Encounters,” before offering his signature song, “Mississippi Queen.” West also joked that Potter was far more attractive than the members of his testosterone-filled band.

Grace sang “Whole Lotta Love” with Galactic at the BB Kings after party if you had the stamina to stay up until 3AM.

the “Bon Jour” shirt is the shirt she wore at the gig in Lawrence. I wish there was another way to say SMOKIN HOT….I”m wearing out that frase. Let’s just say the world is a finer place with our Grace in it. F I N E

Oh hell yeah! Nice snags Mojo … Like we didn’t know she would steal the show! If only GPN got best song … But none the less … An absolute home run I’m sure!

seems like all the attention keeps going to Grace’s sexuality and wardrobe….where were the Nocturnals?

4 owllover { 05.08.08 at 12:05 pm }

it wasn’t the Nocturnals co hosting..it was Grace Potter. Yes, would have been awesome if the Nocs got to play but at least we got Grace!! Don’t think we can request that she not be so attractive, or that people not think she is the hottest thing under the sun. it is what it is. It certainly isn’t her only attribute-

And the award for tastiest co-host…

I’m a Warren fan and Mulehead but I like Grace and the N’s a lot. I voted for Ah Mary and was sorry to see the annoying Keller Williams take that category. I’m glad Grace got to tour with the Mule. I’m sure she learned a lot and all us Mule fans discovered Grace! I saw her at Central Park and am looking forward to seeing them at Mountain Jam. Grace is my favorite female singer/musician today.

just saying that they Nocs are getting more and more overlooked these days owlhead…And if being sexy isn’t Grace’s only attribute, then why is the main thing people are writing/talking about?

TY for the review links - wish I wasn’t such a wimp about NYC sounds like it was an amazing night with Grace in a starring role Very Nice !

Did not know this about CC - - from the Relix article - -
“He was quickly joined onstage by comedian/actor Chevy Chase, who unbenownst to most played drums with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker in one of their bands that preceded Steely Dan.. On this occasion Chase opted to play piano alongside Williams on a rearranged ………. “
