I can't stress enough that if you love their music and you may have a means to get to one of these shows, DO IT!!! They are as amazing of a band live as they are on record, and more. They were incredible shows. I've never travelled across the country to see a band play before, but for Beachwood Sparks, I would do it again in a second. So, if you think you can make it to the East Coast for the next set of shows, you won't be disappointed!!! It was pure magic... </p> http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/topic/34#post-141 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 04:12:14 +0000 Michael 141@http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/ <p>Hello again,</p> <p>I've got a bunch of photos from the three shows, but I'm not sure how to post them.

In LA, Josh Schwartz (former Further and BWS) played guitar for the Tyde. He didn't make the San Diego show. The Tyde had some new songs and they were incredible. I hope that there's a new album on the horizon because those songs were very stellar. </p> <p>All in all, both bands sounded absolutely amazing. </p> http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/topic/34#post-137 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:15:48 +0000 Michael 137@http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>I had the great fortune to attend three SoCal shows this weekend (LA at the Echoplex, San Diego, and the Sunset Junction Festival). You may be excited to learn that "Farmer" Dave played all three shows of these shows. I'm not sure if he played San Francisco on Thursday (I didn't make that one), but he was there in LA and San Diego.</p> <p>At the Echoplex, Mia Doi Todd played an opening set. Later, she joined BWS during the close of their set for "Ponce De Leon Blues", which Brent later said that they had never really played live before. It was magnificent. </p> <p>With "Farmer" Dave in the line-up, we got to hear "The Sun Surrounds Me" and "Ghost Dance 1492" as well as most of the songs from the other shows at Big Sur and Seattle. At the Sunset Junction festival, "Farmer" Dave dedicated "the Sun Surrounds Me" to Elliot Smith, who as I understand it, was on the bill at the Sunset Junction Festival the last time they played it.</p> <p>Dan Horn was on the pedal steel, and "Farmer" Dave played the organ and added his voice to the harmonies, as well as lead on the previously mentioned songs. The rest of the line-up was the same as Big Sur (Ben Knight on guitar and Jennifer Lee Gunst on piano). It was a fantastic string of shows. I took a number of photos as well, but can't upload them because I'm from the East Coast and don't have the software for my camera loaded onto my laptop here in California. I'll take care of that this weekend after I return home and get them posted.</p> <p>I can also say that the band sounded PHENOMENAL!!! Absolutely PHENOMENAL. And from an observer's point of view, the also looked like they were having a blast. </p> <p>It was really a dream come true to see the Sparks in LA. I'm not sure if the line-up will be the same for the East Coast shows, but we will find out in a few weeks, right. Either way, they will be great shows. </p> http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/topic/33#post-136 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:08:49 +0000 Michael 136@http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I was at the shows this past weekend in LA and San Diego. They were fabulous (see my other post). Unfortunately, there was no merchandise available for sale. The closest thing was Aaron Sperske had on a faded brown horse head shirt in San Diego. There weren't show posters at the venues, either. So, I wouldn't hold my breath for the East Coast shows. </p> http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/topic/33#post-135 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:01:03 +0000 stuporfly 135@http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/ <p>Maybe it's a longshot, but with the tour about to kick off, I was hoping some folks on the west coast might be able to let those of us back east know if there's been any Beachwood Sparks t-shirts or other items for sale along the way? </p> <p>I've still got a spiffy t-shirt, as well as a really nifty sticker Brent gave me out of the kindness of his heart at Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco back in 2001. But I'm hoping to add to my meager collection at the Bowery Ballroom in a few weeks. </p> <p>Cheers in advance for any info! </p> http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/topic/32#post-134 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:56:13 +0000 onslo 134@http://www.thecalmingseas.com/forums/ <p>Oh, and a new album.

Did get to see Farmer Dave play with Interpol at the Latitude Festival. I didn't think I'd see him as he isn't a full time member of the band, but there he was suited and wearing a white hat right at the front. Sounded impressive but it's a shame he couldn't join up with the rest of BWS. Perhaps he'll return one day for their comeback album?
