Dave Pike, city of Craig Parks and Recreation director, holds two Three Dog Night albums from his personal collection. Three Dog Night is scheduled to play at Craig's Centennial concert July 12.
Three Dog Night to play at the Fairgrounds
Band will headline Centennial Celebration closing concert

Craig When Dave Pike thinks back to his high school years, he remembers the band Three Dog Night was in the middle of a good run.
They had 21 consecutive Top 40 songs, 12 consecutive gold albums and from 1969 to 1974 no band had more Top 10 hits, Pike said.
"Jeez, when I was in high school they were huge, but I guess I'm really dating myself now," he said.
Pike, Craig Parks and Recreation Department director, and the city of Craig are bringing that pedigree to Craig's Centennial Celebration as part of the grand closing, which includes an air show at Moffat County Regional Airport about the same time.
Three Dog Night has reportedly agreed to perform an evening show July 12 at the Moffat County Fairgrounds, Pike said.
The band - once known for their live shows - still is going strong, he added.
Pike saw the band's show in Grand Junction last November, a day after his birthday.
"They didn't miss a lick when I saw them," Pike said. "They cranked when I saw them. The singing was right there with their albums."
The band sold out the 1,200-seat Avalon Theater that night - at $60 a ticket.
"Ours will be significantly less than that," Pike said.
Centennial organizers expect the tickets to cost somewhere in the $20 range, Pike said, but official details for the show are not finalized and plans could change.
Pike is working with about a $50,000 budget to put on a large-scale concert, he said. He plans to meet with other city officials today and discuss budget specifics.
"It is a lot of money, but it costs a lot of money to put on these shows," he said. "There are little things behind the scenes no one knows about."
Three Dog Night will receive $33,000 for the show. Stage, light and sound may be another $10,000 to $12,000 and spare instruments, known as backline, might be about $3,000.
Then there's the cost of staffing and security, the recreation director added.
Organizers have not decided on an opening band, and may look local or out of the area for that, Pike said.
"The budget isn't nailed down yet," he said.
Pike floated a survey around town last fall, and other bands community members expressed interest in - such as .38 Special and The Charlie Daniels Band - were unavailable for the dates the city wanted.
Pike doesn't expect the show to isolate an older crowd and alienate the youth, he said.
"They have some timeless tunes, like 'Joy to the World' and some of those others, and once we start marketing them on the radio, even the young people will recognize their music," Pike said. "That's one of the things that drew me to them."

I guess none of you remember "mama Told me not to come" That is one of my favorites and I can't remember why. I guess I won't be there becasue she said that's not the way to have fun. Not.
Why can't Steambot bring in bigger names than it does? Hayden may have found a way to bring traffic to there town.

Just don't expect Chuck Negron. He is clean and sober and estranged from the band. His book, "Three Dog Nightmare", is an exellent read and chronicles the excesses of sex, drugs and rock n' roll of the 70s. He went from rock Superstar to sleeping on a mattress he pulled from a dumpster in downtown LA, crashing in an abandoned warehouse, sleeping with cockroaches instead of groopies. His comments about other band members guaranteed he will never be welcomed back in the band.
The current band line-up headlined a classic rock festival in Estes Park a few years ago, and were very good. They even played my favorite song, "Chest Fever."

"Chest Fever" started out with this swirling organ jam, but you weren't sure what it was leading into, then the keyboardist launched it into the four opening chords and it just rocked.

While "Eli's Coming" is one of my favorite songs, but my favorite version of it comes from The Nylons, an acapella group (all vocal- no instruments). They have this amazing live version of the song that sends chills up my spine when harmonies peak.
Another acapella group, Rockapella (who played at Strings Tent a few years ago), perform a great version of "Shambala."

Smoke- I hit the Removal button only because that comment has nothing to do with anything on this thread. If you want to go after Jazz, go for it, but this was actually a thread where we all were enjoying something we all have in common: memories of good music.

SBVOR - You mentioned BRAVE COMBO! I didn't know anyone else around here (besides me) had even heard of them! I've been a fan of theirs since the late 80's. I urge everyone to check them out! I can't say enough about them. Grammy winners, musicians musicians, extremely versatile, super creative, and they are the ultimate live party band! Years ago in another state I had the pleasure of booking them each year for a little outdoor party that the business I worked for put on. People of all ages would be dancing their brains out. Somehow we need to get them to come to Steamboat! Maybe Strings could get them! Any ideas? Check them out at www.brave.com/bo

This was nominated for best joke of the year:
A Somalian arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant
to the United States. He stops the first person he
sees walking down the street and says, 'Thank you Mr.
American for letting me in this country, giving me
housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free
education!' The passerby says, 'You are mistaken, I am
Mexican.'
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. '
Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in
America !' The person says, 'I not American, I Vietnamese.
'The new arrival walks further, and the next person
he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says, 'Thank
you for the wonderful America !' That person puts up
his hand and says, 'I am from Middle East, I am not
American!'
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, 'Are you an
American?' She says, 'No, I am from Africa !'
Puzzled, he a sks her, 'Where are all the Americans?'
The African lady checks her watch and says...
"Probably at work!!!!!!!"

In regards to the lovely lady lead,
Long ago in my missguided youth I was the friend of a fiend in a place of dreams. We hopped and we crashed the gatherings about. Known as cads to some and to others as louts. On an evening warm clear and bright. We hopped a wall in search of delight. A castle of sorts in a town by the sea. In search of women far beyond our means. Into a party where we were not known. Finding a fantasy there to be shown. The likeness of beauty we knew all to well. A singer, an angel, a woman in white, with golden hair and haunting eyes, stood laughing with minions and hangers on. While I in my mind wrote this poem. My friend and hero to this very day, slid quietly by to have his way. Walked behind her toward the band, and brushed her behind with the back of his hand. While I stood there stunned and feared for his life. Rhiannon just turned and gave him a smile. Never before and never again do I suppose to feel the same, as I did that night.

Chicago was my favorite band when I was a kid. Terry Kath was a bada$$ player; one of the most underrated in all of pop/rock. Hendrix was famously quoted telling one of the Chicago horn players "you know, your guitar is better than me."

Zakir Hussain:

I saw Hussain perform in Seattle in the late 80s, at an all-percussion concert. One of the most mesmerizing exhibitions I've ever seen/heard. This clip doesn't even begin to expose his virtuosity & musicianship.

Billy was one of the other percussionists at the Seattle gig. I ran into him a couple years later, and mentioned Hussain. He shook his head & said "that guy's a f*&@ing magician."

Jaco was the man - one of the greatest bass players of all time. Too bad he was nuts.

Jazz,
We are all of us, a little nuts. It is the nature of our individual perception of reality that it inherently differs from that of our peers. This is why it so interesting to hear and converse with others. Even those who are a little nuts.
Andy McKee is a little nuts. I just happen to appreciate the perspective his mania offers.

My remarks about Jaco were more flip than I intended. Jaco had mental health issues bi polar or schizophrenic or something similar; exacerbated by drug & alcohol abuse. He got loaded & tried to bully his way into a seedy after hours club in Florida, and was beaten to death by the owner.

And my remarks are not intended as a critisizm, simply another observation from my intelect nurtured by poetry.
