The Dead Flowers... Live!

OK, so the sound quality is a bit crappy, and my lovely wife (bless her heart) can't operate a camera worth a damn... Ahh, shit, enough whining!

Here's our band, The Dead Flowers, playing The Band's classic "The Weight."



Be nice, now!

  1. Yay! One of my favorite songs, ever, and y'all made it your own. In a good way. And your wife did fine. You got a couple of good close ups, what are you complaining about?

  2. Thanks kindly, Dave. I can't really blame the sound on my wife, but she could have sat in a better seat! All in all, though, you're right--she did fine.

  3. Weight. I mean, wait.

    Isn't the drummer supposed to sing this one?

  4. Brendan,
    I'll likely catch hell for this, but I'm actually quite a good ventriloquist...

  6. Well, with all due respect, as a singer, you're a fine drummer. If fairness I'm compelled to mention that the ventriloquism stuff is damn good too, a remarkable previously hidden talent; but as the guy who has to lip-sinc to your lyric screw-ups I must protest. Jeez. You think this is easy, folks?

    "Pulled into Nazareth, was feeling half past dead

    Just trying to find a place where I could lay my head

    Hey Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed

    He said .... .... ... no."

    I mean, I ask you.

    What the heck is that?

    YELP Colin.

    P.S. You other fellows, thanks for the kind words.

  7. Whoops. "If fairness"?
    Sorry. Obviously should be "In fairness"

    BTW I'm the guitar player in the band.

  9. Well, now, that's pretty good. I'm almost completely mollified, here. I ain't cheap, but I can be had. Buy me a beer and you're off the frickin' hook.

    Yer pal,

  11. In the interest of keeping peace in the band, I'm willing to poison my body - this temple - just the once.
    That's the kind of sacrifice I'm willing to make. It's how far I'm prepared to go. That's the kind of fellow that I am.

    With Humility,

    c
