three cups full of bottled lightning

a big chunk of jam cruise video

by k. cortez on January 12, 2009

GPN starts at about 27:50 in . . . Now I need some Jam Cruiser to explain this to me. This is apparently the second of what looks like two full performances. I thought they only had one?

1 Steph January 12, 2009 at 10:08 pm: According to the schedule they performed twice.
2 k. cortez January 12, 2009 at 10:13 pm: I don’t see it here, http://www.jamcruise.com/jc7/schedule.php , but of course, my eyes are failing.
3 k. cortez January 12, 2009 at 10:13 pm: I take that back, they had the pivotal 1:30 – 3:00 AM at Covent Garden.
4 Ryan January 13, 2009 at 10:09 am: iClips has their performance from the Pool Deck:

5 Ryan January 13, 2009 at 10:10 am: sorry, that was from last year
6 Saygracenow January 13, 2009 at 11:53 am: Sure does look like a lot of fun.
7 owllover January 13, 2009 at 12:49 pm: I have seen 2 videos now, one were they were outside (very windy!) and the other here. So, they must have performed twice.

Grace with curls!! and long, dangly earrings!

Love the change up on Treat Me Right. Very much love that whoever filmed this caught Scott tearing it up towards the end! SAWEEEET!!
8 toofarnorth January 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm: Nice samplers ! Hope iClips comes through with a full set for either the inside(?) show with Ah, Mary & Treat Me Right at 27:50 or the windy deck one with Sweet Hands & Paris at 43:24 (& no curls owllover lol)
What a great working-vacation for the band and friends !
Two questions though . .
How does one convince grandkids Jamcruise is part of Disney World ?
WTH would you name yourselves “Leftover Salmon “ ?
9 joester January 13, 2009 at 6:03 pm: The origins of Leftover Salmon are as intriguing as their name. The group was born in Boulder, Colorado in 1989, as the result of a merger between Vince Herman (from Cajun/Calypso/jugband The Salmonheads) and Drew Emmitt and Mark Vann (of progressive bluegrass Left Hand String Band.)

wish they toured more often as they used to….. very fun to see live!
10 toofarnorth January 13, 2009 at 7:24 pm: Thanks for the bio link, Joe . . found them on Rhapsody after watching the video and am getting acquainted . . Sweet Potato is making me smile at the moment . . I think I like them.
btw . . this bit from Rhapsody’s profile cracked me up
” With their questionable choice of name, Leftover Salmon may have put themselves out of the running to be canonized into the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor gallery of Jam Rock bands. “
11 Bill January 13, 2009 at 8:20 pm: Love it. Is the quality of the vid that bad or is my computer fucked? Either way, great show.
12 Boca Bosco January 26, 2009 at 8:40 pm: I shot the video in high def although to load just about anything onto the internet, especially something over an hour long, requires a lot of compression. The posted video is just what it says, “Highlights”.
I have both GPN shows from Jam Cruise in their entirety and high res (as well as last years JC performances). No one has yet to see these virgin, tripod shot vids….and it’s my intention to share them with you, however it takes many hours of transcoding for each hour I shoot….and I’ve shot hundreds of hours, so it takes time.
Hang in there.
I’m glad you all enjoyed the previews.
13 Boca Bosco January 26, 2009 at 8:48 pm: More info:
They played in the main theater on 1/5 and outside on the pool deck on 1/7.

As for my highlights video, I grabbed a couple of songs from each performance,
the first one starts at 27:45 and the second at 43:20.
Plus there’s a quick clip of Grace belching near the end at 1:14:00.
