Don’t feel bad. I’m still kicking myself for living in Athens during the heyday of Neutral Milk Hotel (’95 – ’98) but somehow managing to miss them live.

That’s the nice thing about Eddie’s: great music, respectful audience, early shows, relatively family-friendly environment. They’re not doing the two shows a night thing anymore, but it’s still a place you can take well-behaved kids, even sleeping infants (saw a two-week old at a show there Friday before last). Really, it’s one of the things that helped convince us to move to Decatur when we were living in Smyrna.

I totally heart Doug, and have to ask: does anyone but me remember when the Black Crowes were Mr. Crow’s Garden? I do, because I saw them open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers back in the day, at the Fox. They got booed off the stage, they were TERRIBLE, and anyway, everyone was there to see RHCP. Nice contact high, and most people were standing on the arm rests. Good times.

To me they are way over the Beatles…I missed Bob, having kids prohibits seeing shows, but I did see Sugar here a few years back. Quite good.
You guys should check out Atlanta band Mastodon, they toured with Metallica last year.

I can’t believe I’ve lived three miles from Eddie’s Attic for over seven years and haven’t been there once in that time. While I lived in Smyrna I went there a couple of times a year. This has more to say about how friggin’ old I am and no longer hitting late nights out (and having small children doesn’t help). In the late 80’s and 90’s I was out seeing bands almost every weekend and managed to never see Mayor, Sugarland folks, Black Crowes or Collective Soul. Atlanta is and was so much better than that crap.

Doug became more likeable today.
