Nathan Moore's High Sierra Heartbreak

Ahhhh‚ yes‚ the High Sierra Heartbreak. Let's revisit it‚ shall we?

If you weren't there‚ I'll sum it up real quickly for you: Nathan‚ like many (all?) of us‚ had a fantastic Saturday night‚ which turned into a fantastic Sunday morning‚ which turned into... a kickball game! I sat on the sidelines‚ but good ol' Nathan‚ he got in it. And not just in it -- he kicked a home run and topped that off with an unassisted double play to end the game. Day-um! (And that's only part of the reason I named him "The Mayor of High Sierra.")

Here's another reason: He then slept a tiny bit‚ and had a mishap with some lost car keys‚ but still made it to his 3:00 set at the Shady Grove stage‚ playing with a borrowed guitar and harmonica. With a bit of a gravelly voice‚ he told us he didn't fret, he knew it would be OK‚ that the good people of High Sierra would help a brother out and make it work. That's High Sierra‚ he said. And that made us smile.

He ended that set with a song he made up only hours before‚ serenading his fellow night owls stuffed into an RV. He called it "High Sierra Heartbreak." And here is that heart-warming set closer‚ preceded by his triumphant crawl onto the stage:



And here is a clip of "When a Woman‚" with Marco Benevento sitting in‚ from Surprise Me Mr. Davis' set the day before:



And lastly‚ during Mr. Davis' a capella Saturday late-night set closer‚ with my camera tucked away in a bag across the room‚ I thought‚ Man‚ I hope someone's getting a photo of this. Well‚ thankfully‚ John Chapman did. Check it out here and another one here.

I'm aware of all these goodies because I'm on the Nathan Moore email list. Why don't you join, too? That way you can write the blog post next time. Join at NathanMoore.org VH1 Rock Honors: The Who

My first favorite band... The Who. VH1 had a tribute show for them the other night‚ and you can watch the full thing online. The lineup may not be what I would have put together‚ but what can you do. It's still cool.

Here's the opening tribute. God‚ that Roger Daltrey scream... it gets me every time! So badass‚ so rock 'n' roll. Long live (the two remaining members of) The Who!

A lawsuit waiting to happen. But it's a fun one! It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. The times are a-changin'.

Here's a video of him creating a mash-up, explaining how what he does ends up being its own entity:



And here's a video of his entire New Year's 2007 set in Chicago:
