DNB at the MATEEL CANCELED

Forums:

I'm hearing that DNB is canceled at the Mateel. JGB still on for the first night. What do you hear?

Also hearing that DNB at the Warfield and AK are canceled.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up! I was really torn about whether it was wise to drive up there!

Where are you hearing cancelled at Warfield?

Same person.

That sucks. My buddy is/was really stoked for Friday. crying

innies be intimating that sunday nite...

best to you  David...

Is this because Nelson is not ready to return, or because the weather is making travel difficult?

ouch!     As of now ...

DNB website  - still shows them playing both venues. 

DNB website Tour Dates - still shows them playing both venues. 

Mateel.org lists DNB both nites.

Warfield front page - lists just JGB, but...

Warfield details page for show, says "Plus an opening set by the David Nelson Band"

~~~~~

What's the scoop? I see Vince H. with Salmon is in Steamboat 2/23.  Then LOS in AK on March 2nd.

Bummer if no opener of any of the guys.  Healing beams to David as always!

 

semi-correction:  DNB site shows Mateel one nite only Fri 2/24, So maybe Vince??

Dang, I bought my Warfield ticket a long time ago and I'm not a big fan of going to Downtown SF just for JGB (no offense).

 

 

And I hope that everyone in the Band is OK...

Viva-La-CNN?...

> Dang, I bought my Warfield ticket a long time ago and I'm not a big fan of going to Downtown SF just for JGB (no offense). <

 

I feel the the same way, if Nelson bails I don't see myself heading to the Tenderloin either.. 

 

The Band will have an official statement released soon. As far as I know the Mateel Show
will be canceled & the Warfield will not be cancelled. Stay Tuned to the DNB website later
this evening for the real news.

Thanks, Dan. That really helps. I'll take the "?" off the thread title.

Thanks for the update Dan ! 

If you have a reservation at the Garberville Best Western for arrival Thursday, remember to cancel by Wednesday afternoon to avoid a charge.  You must cancel by the day before your planned arrival there.

thanks Dan

The official announcement will be tomorrow morning.  Goodnight

Thank you for checking in. Peace, love.

Melvin with Stu and the real Jerryettes?

I'm in for that, Nelson or no Nelson.

I've been going downtown all my life. I guess I can go again to see a fine band like that in a fine room like the Warfield Theater.

GTTS!

rest up man, my shoulder still hurts...

Hope all is well in Nelsonland.

Is JGB with Stu all night? I don't much care for that A Bear guy.

Anybody know if it's his left or right shoulder that got hurt?

He had it fully replaced.

>> Is JGB with Stu all night? I don't much care for that A Bear guy.

A'Bear is gone. New guy is Zach Nugent of Vermont. But with Stu on the bill, I assume he'll be doing quite a bit.

Thanks for the info, I'll be dragging myself downtown!

would be nice if the tix showed up on Goldstar.

>>>>>left

Ouch.  That's the shoulder the guitar strap rests on, and those B-Benders aint light.

From FB:

Hi Kids, David here. I have some news to share. I've recently been diagnosed with colon cancer and I'll need to be focused on my treatment and healing over the next few months. So, disappointing as it is, I won't be able to play at the upcoming Mateel, Warfield and Alaska shows. But not to worry - I’m in good hands and looking forward to playing with the boys and seeing you all again in the not too distant future.
Love, David

More Info About This Weekend's Shows:

We are sorry to report that the show at the Mateel on Friday, February 24 will be cancelled. Please contact the promoter at (707) 502-4150 if you have purchased tickets.

We are fortunate to have Peter Rowan performing with us at the Warfield on Saturday, February 25. David and Peter's association goes back to the early 70's when the New Riders of the Purple Sage, with David singing, had an underground hit with Peter’s song 'Panama Red'. And over the decades, David and the DNB have shared the stage with Peter on numerous occasions.

Alaska Shows in March:

We are working on a plan for the Alaska.  We will keep you updated as we have more info to share.

Ahh shit.

Get better, David!

damn...

 

Get well, David!

Peter fronting DNB will be fucking awesome

Get well David! That's a bummer and a tough six months for the man.

Rowan will be good on Saturday though.

Pete Nelsons Band...

Fuck Cancer

ahhh shit.

fuck cancer!

strength to mr. nelson. much love.

Well that's shitty. Vibration love and light beaming out to David... Fuck cancer!

Oh NO!

Lots of love your way, David!

Get well soon David!

UCSF is one of the best cancer clinics  around, so a little birdie told me. 

They are ranked 7th in the country. 

Get well soon David.

I'm glad the Warfield is on with Peter Rowan - I'm sure gathering together will be wonderful, helpful, fun.

just heard this ((((((LOVE DAVID NELSON)))))))

NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo

We`re all praying for you !!!

Praying for you David 

 

Damn it.

Huge love and and strength and healing wishes to Nelson. We love you, fearless leader.

Love and Healing for David.

 

Kick Cancer's Ass!

 

And thanks for joining us, Mr. Rowan.

 

I'm very  much looking forward to hanging out with the freaks on the floor (hopefully vertical for the duration of the show)

Sad times for sure.   

Fuck Cancer....

Aw shucks.  Not good.  DNB was really starting to pick up steam through 2016, then the shoulder happened, now this- I hope he can keep it together and bounce back!

 

I feel Bob Weir going to special guest TBA @ Saturday Warfield JGB show...Just a guess! 

Might need a tix waffling.

I LOVE the idea of Peter Rowan with the DNB, but I HATE the reason for it.

But the music abides, and this is why we all must go to the shows and celebrate the moment while we can.

As for Stu with Melvin, at last year's Warfield show it was JK who was the "guest" guitarist, and he played (and played damn well) all show.

I'm fully expecting Stu to be in that spot all night this year.

It will be very cool to see Stu back in the chair he held so well for so long. Stu kills the JGB songs.

And damn, Peter Rowan!

>>>>>I LOVE the idea of Peter Rowan with the DNB, but I HATE the reason for it.

 

Totally

Gods speed in your fight. Fuck cancer. 

Damn, I forgot that Oteil is on bass with Melvin's band at the Warfield.

That's gonna' be a real good show.

As for David, I will put up this always fun song in his honor, from a real fun show with David & Phil at the Warfield.

gonna be a good a good show. 

psyched to see Peter Rowan. 

 

Is Vince Herman ok?

Melvin killed it last year at Warfield as did John K especially that Stop That Train...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7iaWjpvIAI&list=PLT0jwuBZz-7Ko3zCUazVgh...

Oteil's a top 5 bassist seen him with Vida Blue, ABB & now Dead and Company. Stu Allen's been house guy Ashkenaz & high in the rotation at Phil's Terrapin Crossroads. Seen him with Melvin at Los Tortugas 2008(Yosemite)...

Leaning toward going Saturday night just as long as I don't have to swim there!

 

Just saw Zach Nugent play with Oteil Sat night in a small Dead Center show at the Rusty Nail

in VT. Awesome show, Great player and a VT well kept secret!

Enjoy folks!  Get better (((Dave)))

Picture may come as soon as my system gets to work!!

Stunned to hear the news about David....will still be attending the Warfield...

Where is JGB regular bass player? he is cool and has a sweet little dog named Rosebud

Hey, you made it, WillyTEE!!!

The Vermont crew has been having some fun...saw your snow pics and the show above looks cool.

We at Lovelight Collective apologize for not canceling sooner but we could not announce until David made his.  As of a couple days ago it was still his intention to play these shows.  We all wish him a speedy and total recovery.

Sorry this was the case, Mark D...hang in there!

it's been a tough few months for David, sending healing loving positive vibes for a full and swift recoveryheart

I wasn't planning on going, but dang, that is a real bummer. Get well soon, David! 

>see ya'all at the Warfield. where da pregame at?

 

in line or inside the theater. don't want to miss the opening act, I hear they're good..

The staff aren't too fast getting people in the door, mainly because they are overly 'frisky' albeit slow

Pregame?

If you haven't seen it, I suggest SFAC galleries' Jim Marshall exhibit of photos from the Summer of Love in the basement of SF City Hall. Check but i believe it's open to 7pm...
