I am a Percolator virgin no longer. Two nights in a row in Rochester&Buffalo, respectively. Wasn't sure what to expect, & wasn't certain I would really like it. I had heard a couple shows which a friend downloaded for me, and I don't usually gravitate towards this kind of music. But I thoroughly enjoyed both shows(Rochester was the slightly better of the two). 5 superb musicians who can play their asses off, and they made alot of new fans on both nights. I have been watching&listening to Jim play since 84 or 85, & have always sang his praises to anyone who would listen to me. I was elated when he released Bigfoot,have watched him grow his talent, & have had the unexpected pleasure of getting to know him-& Rando- personally over the last few years. After these past Friday&Saturday nites, I am convinced that Jim can do virtually anything on a guitar that he sets his mind to.
Not only was the music great, but G-Man & I were the only road warriors present this time, but we did just fine, especially on his home turf on Sat. I would sum up our experience in a single phrase: A G-Man in his cups is a happy G-Man.

Great Show in Ithaca last Thursday. I Enjoyed completely. It is so great to have such a great collection of talent so close by in woodstock. It was my daughters first real show at a bar. I hope the drunks didn't scare her away from future shows. Watching in such an intimate atmosphere is always fun. I saw everything,from the most elegant to woops... Uh... wheres one? Thanks again.

It had been a long time since Jim Weider Band played in NYC, but the show at the Cutting Room was worth the wait. We saw musicians of the highest caliber surround Jim Weider, and somehow the band's leader shined amongst these stars with soaring telecaster notes. We were amazed with the sound. Great to talk to Jim and friends, the T-Shirts are quality!
The Cutting Room was packed so I hope they'll be back. Great venue.
PS: If the guy from Philly who taped the show can contact me at hodele@yahoo.com we'd really appreciate it.

The band was percolating last night at the Cutting Room in NYC, helped us work up an appetite for the national eating holiday. So much was happening up on the bandstand....Carlos Valdez shaking strange percussion instruments, the great Tony Levin weaving wild bass lines (and also playing something unusual that looked like a washboard), Randy hittin em hard and keeping everyone awake with those split second change ups and Jimmy and Jesse Gress wailing...separately and toe-to-toe. This is really beautiful music; the beats are infectious, the grooves a mile wide and Jimmy's lyrical guitar lines will haunt you. As hard as it must have been to follow Joan Rivers, and despite Jimmy's "wrestling mic," as Randy called it, they couldn't have been better. I hear another version of the JWB may be playing the Ramble again in January..maybe with Richard Bell and others. Listening, boys and girls??
