i have the complete show in mp3 if anyone is interested. great show

thanks radish. Full show post that ish, used to have it but discs get scratched after much use

Brian

I'd love those mp3. Thanks

me too. does anyone have their hillside set from Berkfest 2001? that was my 21st birthday. I think some horn players from JBB sat in for some songs.

bear, I think that was the first time I ever saw The Slip!

it was around Noon, right? i remember John Brown's Body basically drove into town and walked on stage. they were lookin rough from a gig the night before.

i went to Berkfest one year and I definitely saw The Slip there, but I can't remember the year. If it was '01 or '02.

Still, I'd love to get those mp3s, too.

hey putty, i think it was a little later in the afternoon - i remember it conflicted with moe's set on the mainstage. Although I was celebrating 21st that weekend and I was in no shape to remember much from that weekend. It rained, the guys at the Red Hook tent were giving me free birthday beers all weekend and I saw the slip....I know that much. anyone know what Lemonade is? old jazz standard?

Lemonade
--------

Fifteen years ago
I was in grade school
You were my friend
we got in trouble
lighting up the afternoon

Running after you
is making me dizzy
sometimes I can't tell just who I'm after
even when the lights are on

People in the world
makin a living
Even the cop, even the doctor,
even when the day is done
there's nothing like a lemonade

Half awake my fingers shake
waiting for something to break

Heaven help the fool
made to believe that it's cool
all of this shit they show you on TV
I think I need a bigger pool

Seven years ago
Adam met Oona
I was at home thinking of Julie
Now she lives in Washington

Nothing I can say
could ever compare to
the way that it feels knowing your own blood
trickled through the icy room

Generosity
isn't me giving to you
that which you need, need more than I do
It's giving you what I need more

I have to laugh at what I've become,
Mama, nothing can help your son
look at what he's become
he's waiting for his day to come

"bradm" is not Radish, as in B-Radish (unless there is another Brad nicknamed Radish I don't know about ...and about people we call Brad...oh, maybe later).

Berkfest '02...now that brings back memories! Only 6 years ago? How is that possible? Seems like a lifetime....

What was that I heard about a Berkfest resurrection? Was someone pulling my leg or misinformed? I heard a rumor they had one or were planning one. Did I miss out? Am I missing out? Will they ever pay everyone?

Berkfest 02 was an amazing time. I ate the best melon of my life on the hill of the main stage. Worked on a farm that summer, and filled a canvas bag with ripe ambrosia melon for the trip to great barrington. Still haven't tasted a melon that was quite that good - but I'll keep trying.

It was probably the setting.

does anyone have a mp3 of "Lemonade" they could throw up real quick...i don't believe i know this one. original?

Lemonade debut from 8.11.01

I would guess that you have heard it at some point.

thanks Cleantone.

listening now and doesn't seem familiar. I like the intro. According to slipbase they only played it 10 or so times and I don't have and wasn't at any of the shows.

berkfest 01, my first show!!!

i have this one in mp3 too. i will figure out how to zip and share them in a few days. my laptop had to go get serviced :-\ , should be back in a week or so...
