More Train Horn!

Forums:

As a follow-up to a recent discussion here regarding '92 Auburn Hills, MI Spring Tour closer and the Dew, glorious "Train Horn Drumz", etc.,  this Soldier Field show that Summer also features a good outdoor blast from said horn as well as well sit-ins from Steve Miller and James Cotton!! Enjoy Kidz!

I was at this one. A fun time at Soldier Field that night, and my one GD Gloria.

Almost gave me a fucking heart attack at Brendan Byrne Arena 

The Payoff was the RFK Casey Jones. Super Nice!

Free everything in the lot afterwards.

Om............

I can't find any video of it, but there's an episode of Sammy Hagar's R&R Road Trip with Mickey where they unleash the train horn in Mickey's back yard.

Awesome! I was not aware of a Brendan Byrne horn appearance but can only imagine the overwhelming magnitude in that place! The Casey Jones at the next stop after that Soldier Field show was very cool too. 

.....much like when U.S. Blues was more likely to be played at "cop-heavy" shows, I always liked the Casey Jones shout-out in some of the more conservative places too (and relatively rural Indiana definitely qualified for that!) RatDog even pulled off a Casey Jones encore at Salt Lake's Red Butte Gardens in 2013-ish.

I know! I saw that episode too but have been able to find the clip since. Good Times - he was trying to be all sly and not rock the boat in his own hood too (NIMBY, Dammit!)

Sorry, I have *not* been able to find it

The train horn in this epic version of Railroad Earth was completely cosmic and unintended. Yarmonygrass 2012.

The first recording ever released on by Mobile Fidelity, which became the audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs was of a steam train:

from wikipedia:

Recording engineer Brad Miller (1939–1998) released the first recordings on the Mobile Fidelity label in March 1958, a recording a Southern Pacific steam locomotive.[2] Later LPs included other steam trains, evironmental sounds and orchestral music, which drew interest from audiophiles but gained little attention from the public. While Miller was located in Burbank, California in 1971, the company released a few pop and orchestral recordings. This included a 7" 45 rpm single produced by Miller, "Saunders Ferry Lane"/"Early Morning". The record was credited to "Clare" and sung by British vocalist Clare Torry, who later gained fame from her performance on Pink Floyd's song "The Great Gig in the Sky"

 

A few year back, Sammy Hagar, for hsi Road Trips TV show--VH1 maybe--I forget--did an episode with Mickey has he and Sammy have reordered together (Sammy was at Mickey's house when Eddie V called him and fired him)-anyway, in the episode, Mickey busts out the train horn and lets it rip.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngc0GLLbCD8
