Prairie Dog Blues Festival Featuring Davy & BDS

[roybluesman]

I must tell you that I was honored again to see Davy, PK and Steve perfrom this time in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The day was filled wtih music presenting six different bands, but it wasn't until the end when Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam took the stage that everyone was blown away. Honestly, how this band does it time and again is beyond me. Such great playing, singing and heartfelt music, we are very fortunate to be hearing and seeing these young men play.

In addition, I did get to spend a bit of time with the guys and as always, they were just as cordial and friendly as anyone could be. Needless to say, it was a fantastic show put on by some of the most talented people in the world today!

Special thanks go out to my good friend Davy. The sky is the limit young man and I'm just glad that you're taking us all along for the trip of our lives! Next stop RAH? Who knows?

I have three more videos to share from the fantastic show that I witnessed this past Saturday night:

"Coming Up For Air" www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XMbjj0j34k
(I didn't catch the entire song as I was changing disks in my recorder)

"Keep On Searching" www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEXSAzDtZZo

And a new song that hasn't been recorded yet with a little slide work from Davy called:

"In A Little While" www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XEH6EWnnjw

Enjoy,

Thanks for posting those Roy! Do you have a setlist of what they played? I converted the vids you posted to MP3s to listen to in my car, and was wondering what order they go in, and what I'm still missing!

[roybluesman]

Hey Skot,

I don't have a set list as the guys usually just wing their shows. I once asked one of their setup guys in Chicago if he had a set list and he responded as, "Well, you see, the Lads just make it up as the go." And so, Davy, PK and Steve do the same thing. I'll try to think about it and report back, but as I'm an old fart it may be difficult to figure out. Hey, here's some more for your MP3s from this night:

"Opening Jam" www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DIsQ0hbrR0

"Riverbed" www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_HM5CU-Xn0

"What In The World" Part 1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU3YYyobzEI

"What In The World" Part 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=436s6PCZonw

Last song of the night which I only got part of, because I had to change disks...

Steve's Drum Solo and "It'll All Come Around" www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HzebPNaY8c

Glad you're enjoying the music!

Thanks Roy!! Do you know what order these videos go in? I'm just trying to put my mp3s in order so it sounds like the whole show. Just so there's continuity between songs.

Hey Skot,

I'm at work right now, so when I get home I'll pull out my recorded DVDs and see what order they were recorded in. I know "Almost Cut My Hair" was played which I didn't record and also a song by CCR, but I'll put together the list that I did record and post it.

Cheers,

Roy

[skot71]

Thanks Roy, much appreciated!!!

[roybluesman]

Here you go Skot, in this order:

Opening Jam
Riverbed
Come Home
You Don't Love Me
Walk On Hot Coals
Coming Up For Air
What In The World
Keep On Searching
In A Little While
Encore:
It'll All Come Around with Steve's Drum Solo

As I said before, they did also play "Almost Cut My Hair", "Tear Down the Walls" and a CCR song, but I did not record those.

Enjoy,

Roy
