Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

It's possible that I have achieved the perfect state of consciousness for the upcoming Wimps set. Only time will tell.

So glad to hear, ELO is a top quality world class act. Not many drummers can play up to Bev Bevan. And bless Kelly Groucutt
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:38pm jake6573:

it os on to Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, than Deep Purple at Jones Beach Labor day weekend. Hope Ian Gillan is in good vocal form Last few times seen em he was the weak link.
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:41pm Andrew S:

oh Ian cant hit those high notes anymore. the last time i saw him was about 15 years ago and you know that awww aww aww part in Child of time? I couldnt even do it as a kid let alone at his age, i could feel his tonsild bleeding

Here is Wimps Bandcamp: thesewimps.bandcamp.com
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:45pm efd:

There were definitely some sections/songs that Jeff Lynne can't hit anymore but there was a great backup singer doubling/taking the lead as needed - and on camera too, they weren't trying to cover it up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:46pm Jeezy:

Speaking of Pop Legends... I saw Glenn Tillbrook last night at City Winery! His teenage son opened (it was rough) and rejoined him and his pre-teen daughter playing keys for the encore!
His voice has held up excellently, it must be noted.
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:47pm Andrew S:

nah dont cover it up, just the way it goes, do your best as you reach your limittiions, doesnt ruin it for me its a live show, im not playing the record
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:47pm efd:

totally agree, Andrew
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:48pm jake6573:

@Andrew s, would be shocked if he even attempted it, worth price of admission for Steve Morse (IMO).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Wed. 8/22/18 9:48pm chris_in_space:

Wimps are great.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:48pm efd:

backup singer also did a great job on the Roy Orbison part in the one Traveling Wilburys song they did last night
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:49pm jake6573:

I'm going out on a limb and saying X the band is one of the wimps big influences
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:49pm Andrew S:

haha well i am sure I attempted it many times as a younbg lad with headphones on, pity thr poor people around me
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:50pm Andrew S:

what wilburys song did they do?
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:51pm jake6573:

the wimps do rock !
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:52pm efd:

I was afraid someone would ask that as soon as I typed that! The one with the chorus about someone to lean on...??
  Wed. 8/22/18 9:53pm steveL:

That bass!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:53pm JakeGould:

The Traveling Wilburys’s “Handle With Care?”
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:53pm efd:

right??
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:54pm efd:

that's it, Jake!
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:54pm Andrew S:

yeah thats a nice track
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Wed. 8/22/18 9:54pm chris_in_space:

While we're talking oldies at the arenas gigs, I saw the Jeff Beck/Paul Rogers/Ann Wilson stop in Toronto a couple weeks ago. Missed Ann Wilson altogether. Paul Rogers's voice is near identical to the way everyone knows it. Jeff Beck is one of most singular guitarists on the planet. He's in great shape.
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:55pm Andrew S:

the orbison chorus would be hard to substitute, it was pretty sweet. so is this set, sorry to distract from it
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:55pm JakeGould:

Woo! I win a “No Prize!”
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:55pm Andrew S:

hilarious lyric there "take your to-do list, send it to the moon."
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:57pm efd:

Jeff Beck/Paul Rogers would be an intriguing show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:57pm efd:

I'm not the biggest Wilburys fan so maybe not the best judge, but I thought the singer who sany the Orbison parts nailed it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 9:58pm efd:

Wimps lyrics are A+ across the board
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 9:58pm Andrew S:

no me neither i wasnt a fan when it came out but now when i hear a song here and there i like them
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:01pm Jeezy:

Although it is a tad slick, there's not a bad track on the first Willbury's album. And it's rife with humor, relaxed fun and great melodies. It's pretty great, actually.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:01pm Jeezy:

Meanwhile... Why did the Wimps cancel their BK show, EFD?!
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm jake6573:

Love the Wimps Humor !
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm Andrew S:

I liem it a lot better now than i did then. i thought iut was some lame nostalgia act at the time but it was some pretty brilliant dudes having fun in the studio
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm JakeGould:

They might have seen that they sell $7 toast in Brooklyn.
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm Andrew S:

i was going to say just ask them but i was still poretending that it is a live set ;) great stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:03pm efd:

the one a couple of weeks ago? I didn't know they had, they recorded here that afternoon and were still planning on it when I saw them.

Dave from wimps here. we didn't cancel in Brooklyn. played at alphaville on 8/11.

hey Dave! Thanks for chiming in!
  Wed. 8/22/18 10:07pm David RAMM:

No problem! I don't think any of us have really listened to X too much but I see the comparison. I listened to the Australian X a bunch.
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:09pm Andrew S:

California band were the other X
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:10pm Ritchy O:

Great set thanks Wimps
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:10pm Andrew S:

they were cool too, but like a rowboat compared to a destroyer. Plus Exene lost her marbles some years ago
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:11pm Jeezy:

Hahaha... Whoops! I'm confusing the Wussies with the Wimps!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:12pm Jeezy:

And @Jake the Avo toast we sell at my BK coffee shop is $6.75, not $7! :-P

I'm going to go on record right now as never having been an X fan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:13pm Jeezy:

There is a .25 charge to use the bathroom, however...
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:14pm jake6573:

they were darlings of the critics, suffice to say thought they were great
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:15pm JakeGould:

@Jeezy: Wait… Seriously? 25¢ to use the bathroom?
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:17pm efd:

I'm pretty sure he's joshing
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:17pm Andrew S:

the guy from 7 seconds, kevin seconds? he was blogging about a tour he went on with exene a few years ago, she made him sleep in the car and shit, it was like reading les miserables, this was when she was touting some tea party stuff or something like that, i forgte cuz its not that important
Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:18pm JakeGould:

Sorry to get into a toast discussion on this playlist. Will keep that in check.

It's an open forum, Jake... For anything and everything!
And actually our main Avo toast is indeed over $7. But I'm trying to get Ken to have Clay do some AM shows live from there!

Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 8/22/18 10:34pm JakeGould:

Clay should do a “Shame on You!” segment on $7 toast.
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:38pm Andrew S:

no fighting it was just an opinion ;)

I wonder if another toast fad will replace the avocado. Cottage cheese toast?
Avatar Wed. 8/22/18 10:44pm Andrew S:

you have about 5 minutes to eat avocado between the time it is rock hard and rotten
