South Texas Music Fest - Telsa "Modern Day Cowboy"

Here's a video of Tesla doing "Modern Day Cowboy" on Saturday night. Sorry the video ain't the greatest. Sounds good though!!!

South Texas Rock Fest pics

Hey guys,

Sorry for the deley on the podcast but I am having trouble with my recording software. It seems i will have to re-do the whole show. I will be getting to that shortly.

But I wanted to upload some pics of the South Texas RockFest i went to this weekend in San Antonio. First off, I know that these are 70's and 80's bands but this was a great show. My brother works for the Miller Lite Distributor in S.A. and got me and my wife the sweet hookup to their private party area on stage. Yes on stage!!! All the beer and food you can eat and pretty cool place to hang out. It was 100 degrees on Friday and Saturday and it was HOT!!!! Anyway... I took some pictures and some video of the show. I got to meet Jeff Keith of Tesla on his way up to the stage. Here's the pictures I took:



I got a picture of don Dokken of Dokken as well:



I'll be uploading video soon of Tesla from Sat. night. All in all, it was a great weekend. I had great time.

Podcast is coming soon.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you guys know that I am putting the finishing touches on the next show and it will include some of the Bonnaroo show I just downloaded (FINALLY!!!) the show from Ten Club and I am stoked with the sound. I'm blaring it right now!!!! Anyway... show's coming this weekend.

BTW, on a side note, I will be attending The South Texas Rock Fest in San Antonio ths weekend and my brother has the sweet hook up. (Thanks, Bro!) Let's just say we will be backstage livin' up.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to update you on some things.


First things first, I have added an email subscription box to the right so that so you can receive emails everytime I update my blog.

Second, about the Skypecast, as some of you may have noticed, we had one planned for one before the show but I couldn't get to my PC in time. I was coming in from out-of-town and got home late. I will be trying to schedule one in a few days. Let me know if you have any suggestions for topics to discuss.

Third, from what I hear, Pearl Jam torn it up at Bonnaroo on Sat. night, doing an almost 3 hour set. It seems that this pissed off "king" Kanye and supposedly caused him to perform at 4:30am!!! It seems that he wanted to perform on the main stage so that he could do his 'Glow in the dark " show. What an ass!!! Everytime I want to like this guys, he does something stupid like this. But I digress... Hear more about this story on the next podcast.

Lastly, I wanted to let you guys know that I will have purchased The Bonnaroo bootleg. I am willing to trade with someone that is buying another show so that I can use on the podcast. If you are interested in helping out the show, email me at: mario@giventocast.com

BTW, working on the next show. It should be up by end of week. Thanks
