Re: Gobblehoof

Hammy, I think that show that you are refering to was Gobblehoof opening for Dino at the Student Union Ballroom at UMass. I think that would have been the "Green Mind" tour, probably in late ’91 or early ’92. I recall that being a bad night for everyone. I don’t think that the ‘Hoof played well, and I know that Dino wasn’t very good that night either. (J still refers to that show as being one of his worst ever.) J, Mike and Murph had literally flown in from England that day, and went straight to the show, no dinner, sleep, shower or anything. I remember seeing those boys and saying to J, "God, you guys look like shit!" I think his reply was something like, "I feel like shit!" Also, anyone will tell you that playing college shows really sucks in general. The only upside is that they usually pay really well. I mean, they don’t let you drink ANY alcohol, and there’s no smoking, tobacco or other. I guess what I’m trying to say is that, as for the Gobblehoof experience, I don’t think that particular show captured the true essence of the ‘Hoof. <img> <img>
