Newsflash! SoCal folks...one of my students has hired Albert Lee for a private show and you're

[Mark Wein]

invited...I'll have more info but it's basically a $25 door charge and all of the beer you can drink...the show is this Saturday and ultimately they are giving Albert the door. I have the info at work so I'll post the rest of the details in a few hours. I think the gig is in Santa Ana....If we can get a baby sitter we're going since it's an opportunity to see a legend in an incredibly intimate setting....

Here he is at the 2007 Crossroads festival:

Jee-zus!

Now that is something I would love to see and hear... Bitchin!

 

[Mark Wein]

one note...my student isn't a pro concert promoter or anything like that, just a huge fan and just wants to cover the amount he guaranteed Albert to come down....

 

[Kerouac]

Too bad getting there would cost me more than the $25... GC Has a blue AL that I really dig.

 

[Modern Saint]

Didn't this happen not to long ago to or was it in anticipation for this event? Either way Albert smokes! Saw him at Paladino's in the 90's and he was great!

 

[Dew Knot Hump]

Albert Lee plays for the door now??????


:(

no. My student is paying him a guarantee and is just trying to cover it from the door.

He had Albert playing his 60th birthday party a few months ago with a local band...this is actually Albert with his own band.

 

[Chad]

Damn, that would kick ass.

 

[Tig]

Well dip me in shit and roll me in popcorn! (a nasty saying a former manager used to express)

I'd love to see Albert Lee in a small venue like that. You guys are some lucky mo-fo's.

 

[Phil513]

Looking forward to the details, i might be interested in making the trip up.

 

[Denverdave]

If I lived down there I would be there. Sounds like a great opportunity to see the man up close and personal.

What time will it start? Why?

I am now in the conundrum based on the start time. My doctor buddies wife just invited us for a BBQ that day as well. We will be celebrating my wife's b-day that weekend, here real b-day is today.

Soooooo.....with that said......if the times are perfect, BBQ and Albert Lee for a B-day celebration is win-win-win!

Will see if Mrs. Saint bites....

 

[tgk03]

OMG! Gotta ask the Mrs., but this is too awesome to pass up.

 

[Mark Wein]

OK...looks like the start time is 7pm. IIRC the music starts around 8pm and he's doing two sets.

Those of you who can, go. There's no excuse for skipping it really. Albert kicks ass.

Mrs. Saint said Cool! So the plan to see Albert is very promising - Woo Hoo!
