Some days you just wake up with the blues, and in my world that's a great thing.
As of 6:30 my day will get really good as a personal grail gets crossed off....
But until then here's some visual entertainment to keep you busy:
The guitar master Stevie Ray Vaughan live in Nashville
http://youtu.be/u97vVcNTyis
Will update when the goods are received...
"my kettle is more powerful it will do almost anything."
Maybe a real visual will help..

I'm jealous! That's a concert I'd love to been at! A cool little tid bit about Hendrix, he was stationed in Fort Campbell TN about 30 miles from me.
My favorite album including him is the band of gypsies, with Buddy miles and Billy Cox. There is so much soul going on in that recording it gives me goosebumps!

Wouldn't that have been something to see 8)
I'm assuming that buckie had to sneak in 'cause he was under age ;D
I was fortunate enough to see SRV in Toronto less than a year before he died.
Today happens to be the 23rd anniversary of his death.
And I did shed a tear or two when I first heard the news of his death. :'(

Well......Me & my buddy did sneak, or actually were let in for free.....along with about 50~60 other people at one particular gate.......
In remembering this & then researching a bit, I found that it was a sold attendance of 8,000 & an actual attendance of 17,000......ah, the good old days....... 8)
also found that a good friend of mine, Mark Henson did the backdrop painting, along with Craig Chaquico, later guitarist for Jefferson Starship
Oh man SRV oh got me going today, read this post and put on his Pandora station all day at work. Wished I would have been old enough to go to one of his concerts before he passed. My uncle tried to take me to one but my parents said I was to young. I was seven when he tried too.
Nice grill!! That's on my grail list as well a blue mt would be bada&$
Nice! Blue MT! Now that is a sweet sweet grill! Congrats.

Buckie I'm jealous. I love Hendrix. I'm too young to have seen him. I did see Stevie Ray back maybe in 90'? I also saw Nirvana before Kurt blew his head off. I did see Alice in Chains too before Lane Staley died. Saw Slayer recently with Jeff Hanneman, he's gone too. I tell you I can't turn "Voodoo Child" up loud enough.... it's fucking great

That goes for Stevie Ray's version too....
Long as we're still semi-off topic.....
Here's the set list for that day.....
'Cal Expo' Sacramento, California USA
Sunday, April 26th, 1970
1. Lover Man
2. Spanish Castle Magic
3. Freedom
4. Machine Gun
5. Foxy Lady
6. Room Full Of Mirrors
7. Ezy Rider
8. Purple Haze
9. Star Spangled Banner
10. Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
....oh and this was the first of numerous times I was almost run over by 60's popular culture icons...................
.....my buddy grabbed me as Hendrix's limo went shooting by at a high rate of speed thru the side lot of the grandstand.....
I was safe for years until we went to see an eletronic music presentation, Seastones, a composition by some Grateful Dead members at Dominican College in San Rafael,Ca in 1975, I believe.........
It was supposed to be only two people, the bassist & a guy from MIT with a huge computerized music setup.....but Garcia, David Crosby & the drummer Mickey Hart also showed.....
Small BMW comes racing down the path & again a buddy pulls me out of the way....Garcia in the passenger seat......my guess was Crosby was driving......
Safe for another long time & then friends & I are putting together a booth at a "New Age Fair" in the early 90's (this is California, after all ) some other friends have another booth right next to a very large open doorway leading into the main hall, where the main speaker for the evening, Timothy Leary, yes that Timothy Leary, 1st person to die live on thje Internet on purpose Timothy Leary, got away from all the 60's hoopla & into highly evolved child development studies Timothy Leary.......who, walking thru the side hall to go to where he would speak, almost runs me down, on foot, Timothy Leary............
FF to 1998 & the Furthur Festival at Shoreline Amphitheater Mountain View, CA........
Afriend & I are going down the sidewalk from the parking area to the venue, I grab her just as the limo carrying Bonnie Raitt comes flying across the walkway headed toward the backstage area......
So there's all my near misses with being almost run over by famous people.....
.....now, where were we?
...Ahh.....Blue Kettles...... ;D
Target acquired! One blemish on the bowl about the size of a nickel and a few dings on the edge of the lid rim. The ash sweep works and the ash pot is solid which was my biggest worry. It's dirty and needs handles and a leg end cap everything else is there. It's a beauty!!
"my kettle is more powerful it will do almost anything."
And I have no problems being off topic especially when good music is involved!

Bingo !!!!
the rim of the lid is from those hard-assed bale rollers, I'm pretty sure.....careful rolling the lid back......
Nice, I love the MT! Second best Kettle Weber has made. ;)

You must mean that the Red MT is the best of course.
Oh, one more thing, "A little bit of chattiness is fine but ......yadda yadda yadda"
So it's home and joined the family. Vent code is EE so it's a 1999. Upon further inspection there is on spot on the lid nothing big though. I really like the lid bale position on the back of the kettle rather than the side like a performer. So the good news is it will clean up great. The bad news is unless a 26er pops up I'm done collecting for awhile as the boss has put me on hold.

Can't wait to clean it up!
"my kettle is more powerful it will do almost anything."
Can't wait to see it with new wood
So I've got it cleaned up and ready to cook on. This grill was super dirty, he must have had a big dirt spot in his yard. There was blown dust everywhere!
This is going to be my main cooker so I didn't go to over board on it. I was low on steel wool so I decided to paint the legs white, and the pot and triangle blue. I didn't want to disturb the ash sweeper on this since I can't replace it really easy. The ash ring is still a bit dull but that's ok with me. The handles will be replaced soon with some from Brian but for the time being I stole the ones off of homer so I can use the grill.
Thanks for checking it out! May the blues be with you!!

"my kettle is more powerful it will do almost anything."
well THIS thread is worth a dusting-off!
Add me to the Hendrix is god (sorry, eric) fan club. I'm into it seriously, even more than Weber kettles, I have to admit. :(
buckie! lol. you suck! you saw '70 hendu...farkin A man.
I have a boom box in the bathroom w/ a cassette I made maybe 30 yrs ago of mostly 69-70 tunes/outtakes. MGun, JAM 292, Come Down Hard On Me, Still Raining, Still Dreaming/Rainy Day, Dream Away, Pali Gap, Ezy Ryder, Izabella, Highway Chile...etc etc. It starts my every day.
One of my sisters saw him in Hartford, not sure if it was '67 or '68. My brother saw the Doors at a bar in NYC in one of the their first east coast shows- a record promo thing- in late fall '66. He brought me back a promo copy of Break On Through b/w End Of the Night. I was 10.
Anyway..........yeah, I like the blues too

A Blue MT will turn any day around!!
I also love me a Blue MT...any Blue for that matter...but
@1buckie got to see Jimi??? Oh my. You lucky charcoal person you!!! Good to read as I would have been 4 and unable to appreciate the spectacle. Being run down by a car carrying Jerry would be unfortunate but cool. And
@zavod44 you are correct in that Voodoo Child...the Hendrix or Stevie Ray version....can never be too loud......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OTvz1lJzmI
And to think that I actually spent a good year of my life with a woman who considered Hendrix, "so much more noise". I just turned it up louder so all I had to put up with was her mouth moving.

Cool thread! I also enjoy SRV, he was definitely one of the best guitar players to ever live! I did have the privilege to see him perform. Unfortunately it was his last performance ever. It was Alpine Valley 1990 , Eric Clapton was the headliner with a load of great guitarist, kind of like a guitar fest - Jeff Healy, Robert Cray, Stevie Ray Vaughan! Stevie blew them all off the stage. It ended up being a sad day because the helicopter he was riding in crashed killing all passengers. His music will live forever.

Very Cool you are one of the lucky ones!
Nice blue kettles in this thread.
@1buckie did you snap that picture of Hendrix, too? That's really great.
A friend and I saw SRV on his last tour. Sat up outside on a hill somewhere, forgot the venue. He opened for Joe Cocker but we didn't come to see (nor stay for, much) Joe Cocker ... who was of course really good, just not at all what we were into.
Love the blues. Nice kettle, it's a beauty!

No, not sure who actually took that.....may have been my buddy Mark Henson, an artist fellow who also did the backdrop for the stage for this....along with Craig Chaquico of Jefferson Starship who lived in Sac at the time......
