Flop Eared Mule A Country Music Death Beast and Worker in the Dylan Industrial Complex | Sydney, Australia | Est. 2004

May add some words later. Now with words. In any event, pictures.

A further update: Here is video I took of "Green Onions." It's all over the shop shaky. This is because I was "groove-ing." And here is "Time is Tight."

It was firstly very nice to meetup with Dangerbird of High Noon Saloon (who has written up the night) for the gig.

The new Booker T record Potato Hole with the DBTs (and Neil Young) is not I thought out until the end of April but they had them for sale at the gig, which was mostly a run through of those songs plus the inevitable "Green Onions." I like Potato Hole, it's basically the MGs done rockier. I was, as you see from the pics, right infront of Booker's Hammond B3 and the sound was supreme. Perfect, every feather of his magic fingers came through. He is a connection to a whole musical world that means a lot to me (and I'm visiting Memphis in July) so it was a great pleasure to be there. Surprisingly when I bumped into my friend Austin at the bar in the break he said they could barely hear Booker back there. Which is weird, usually it is the other way round and you trade off sound quality for proximity. When the DBTs came on for their solo set, I was at the back for the most and also found the sound back there was much less easy on the ears than towards the stage. Backwardass acoustics at the Factory! But anyway I went up the front for the last couple of songs and the encore which was cool because "Let There Be Rock" rocked, verily. I will be back there tomorrow night for Rodney Crowell.
