Boat Show Stuff and request list

Boat Show Stuff and request list

By marcus

Just to clear things up this years boat show is later than usual. You will need to be at the dock by 11 not 8. That is 11pm not 8pm. Personally this makes things easier for me so I am all about this "Midnite" cruise concept. I believe it is, after all, very romantic to cruise around Manhattan at midnight. Which brings me to this....I've been getting so many requests from folks that I thought "why not play all requests?" So let me know what you want to hear. Post your song choices here and we will try play them. More popular tunes will be democratically selected and the more obscure wont be, because we dont know how to play everything we ever did. Thats like 200 songs! By the way thats a good project, some body figure out a list of all the Slackers live and recorded songs and settle this dispute once and for all. Good luck with that one folks! See you all aboard!
ps Cali was great!great fun+food in SF,great cars in LA,great show in SD!

Just can wait till 22nd of may

First of all, Best wishes!

I just found out that you guys will be in Holland for 3 days in a row.

I have been visiting most of the shows you ever did in the Netherlands.
It is my humble opinion that the Slackers bring the best (live) music in the world right now! You can really hear they are in one with their instruments.

The interaction with the audience is always great, keep up the running trough the audience! great showelement!
I heard a song by vic, Animals from something in my blindspot.
It would be more than awesome if you brought that one live for once with the Slackers...(!!)

There are some songs that i would like to hear, some of the oldskool slackersongs in peticular.

"trash" is one that i`d like to experience live the most of all.
The songs listed below are some songs i would like to hear when you guys are in The netherlands. (it doesnt matter if you play them in Amsterdam, Sneek or in Sittard, i`ll visit all the shows anyway :P)

Here are most of my favorites i`d like to hear:

"Ray gun Sally"
"sleep outside"
"bed bug"
"this is the night"
"pedophillia"
"feed my girl"
"fried chicken"
"sooner or later"
"sarah"
"i still love you"
"fried chicken song/Mary Mary"
"all i ever wanted"
"dead girl"
"the nurse"
"shankbon"
"old dog"
"axes"
"mommy"
"rider"
"keep it simple"

I could go on forever it seems, but hey... there all Slack-a-licious ;)

See you in a couple of months!

Groningen, The Netherlands.

It'll be my second time

It'll be my second time seeing you guys, and it was unfortunate that I couldn't hear it in Vancouver last year.

I know it's not the boat

I know it's not the boat cruise, but I'll be in Victoria for Ska Fest next week (Coming from Alberta by myself), and I'd really like to hear Rude and Reckless. It'll be my second time seeing you guys, and it was unfortunate that I couldn't hear it in Vancouver last year. Nevertheless, it was still the best show I've ever been to

Mid-night spent in a cruise

Wow, a mid-night spent in a cruise is so romantic that if you are with your partner. Please no offense to those who are single.

Cruise boats are fitter with 997 turbo exhaust something found on motor vehicles to certainly the configuration is tweaked to match the needs of a cruise boat a small one actually.

Anyone have tickets for tonight????

Looking for two tickets for tonights show. jayrigby@comcast.net Thanks!

Song Request

Make Me Smile would be a wonderful song to hear.

I found lots of interesting

I found lots of interesting information here. The post was professionally written and I feel like the author has extensive knowledge in the subject. Keep it that way.

Rude & Reckless

As always, I'd love you guys to play Rude & Reckless- I like the song enough to tattoo it across my chest almost 10 years ago.

Two requests since nobody else seems to want to be first

I guess "Sarah" is going to be something of a given. I feel like every time I've seen you guys, you play it. It's one of my favorite songs. How about you play "Cupid" too? That's my favorite cover that you guys do.

I can't wait for the show!
