the samples 2007 red rocks 9 "did you ever look so nice"

Sean,

First show Stanford University (Frost Amphitheatre) in the late 80s. You guys toured with the Twist Offs. That was the best damn concert I ever went to and have no doubt have followed you since. Seen The Samples at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA a bunch of times over the past couple years. You guys were sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it going with the solo career. You have rallied a huge following and were counting on you man. You are a cool guy, with serious talent, and play for the right reasons. That is why you have the following you do. Keep touring and keep knocking out CDs. Well be buying them up. No worries there.

Oh, and for crying out loud, get back to San Diego already. Peace bro.

Hi Sean,
I was wondering about any shows (small is fine) near los angeles this weak before you make it up to san fran? I would love to hear you again as its been a while since the last i saw you play with the band in 96-97 in Tucson. My favorite show was isla vista in 1992 when i saw the samples for the first time. You played at a frat where all you charged to get in was a can of food for a food drive you guys were puttin up. I also wanted to let you know that since i first heard you on cd in 91 i was hooked. I think your music and lyrics for that matter are very special and offer folks an intelligent and poetic alternative to the mindless jabber that gets so much airtime.
I'll never forget when you said something like were not alone in the universe at a Tucson show and at that moment most of crowd was kind of dumbfounded. I wasn't and thought it was kind of nice to hear someone else state the obvious that so many choose to ignor or even try to comprehend. At any rate i hope you have a safe trip and God Bless.

My second concert ever. The Samples played in Providence, RI in front of 300 people. Saw the DMB at the SAME VENUE with about 400! Gawd were we ever lucky!!! The Met Cafe holds some of my most precious memories!

[@tomchadwell2372]

Became a fan in 1991. Saw you live in Lawrence KS around 1993. Still are a top play on my iPod. "Waited up" now played about a thousand times. Hope to see you play again live!

[@chrismaynard627]

Same! Saw them play in 1991 in Cleveland on a snowy Sunday with about 50 people. I kept saying, these guys have "it"....have seen them in the 90's, 00's, and again in '13. Here is to more when they come back toward the East Coast!

And telling people what they should or shouldnt listen to?!?! Who cares... Theres all different types of music. People can listen to and enjoy whatever they want to listen to! Focus on your own interests Prince Charles!!!

The longer I remember you’re the hardest to forget.

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

Always good stuff, Sean ! Peace from Sunny Detroit City !

[@michaelross1339]

I wish I had a video of them at Dobson Ice Arena. It would have blown out any recording equipment anyway.

[@pdpryse]

@JHarris0915 It's too bad you grew up in mountain land. I'm from michigan and all my friends were into this shit. There's so much good music out there that's much more creative. This is so safe and jam-rock. Check out some good bands sometime.... Blur, The Cure, Orange Juice, Girls, Yazoo, MGMT, Mystery Jets, Black Lips. Not to be combative and tell you what to listen to, but this is just awful. Or you can continue to listen to Dave Matthews, Ben Harper, and The Barenaked Ladies.
