Review: Waddy Wachtel Band and Friends at The Joint 2/6/09

Note from Nina:

The Waddy Wachtel Band showed up for a rare Friday night performance at The Joint last night 2/6/09 as part of a benefit for the family of Mike "Pipes" Canipe who died last week of liver cancer. The benefit was originally being staged to collect funds for Mike's upcoming liver transplant, but it was very sad to find out he left us before we could assist him. Proceeds from the gig will be given to Mike's family.

Many friends of Mike's showed up for the gig - with heavy hearts - but the music soon got them all remembering what Mike was always about..... making and sharing great music. And there were many incredible musicians on the stage who helped lift everyone's spirits and give Mike a very rockin' send off. Mike's guitar remained on the stage the entire night - a fitting tribute.

The night started at 9PM with a set by Romeo Delta: Darian (guitar, vocals), Glow (drums), Ryan (guitar, vocals), Alex (bass). Darian Campbell is Mike Campbell's son, and he's well on the way to becoming noted in his own right. Great performance with rockin' new tunes by that band.

The second set featured many guys from the band Dirty Knobs (some of whom also played with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers): Mike Campbell (guitar, vocals), Matt Laug (drums), Jason Sinay (guitar, vocals), Phil Jones (drums), Rick Rosas (bass), Marc Ford (guitar). They were joined by Bernard Fowler for vocals on "Hey, Joe".

The Waddy Wachtel Band took the stage for the third set.

Waddy Wachtel (guitar, vocals), Phil Jones (drums) and Rick Rosas (bass) played on every song - joined by Matt Laug as a second drummer on several tunes. There were so many incredible musicians up on that stage during the set, I'll note them individually in the set list.

1 - "Heroes" (David Bowie) Bernard Fowler lead vocals; Waddy Wachtel harmony vocals
2 - "You Got Me Rockin'" (Rolling Stones) Bernard lead vocals; Blondie Chaplin harmony vocals; Waddy harmony vocals
