Tanks For The Memz

I had the good fortune to see Righteous Jams a LOT when they were playing. Every gig felt epic. You never knew what move Joey C was going to pull off next, or what cover might get thrown out there. Each set was memorable in its own way. Like that Cambridge Elks club gig where I almost got hit by a metal folding chair. Or that Raw Bar gig on Edge Day in 2005 (same day as the Astro / Cards game) where kids were stage diving off of pool tables. And the last time I saw them was literally down the street from my house. The Hudson Roller Rink. This show was a long one, a fest of sorts. It involved 6-7 bands and was a long one. But RJ was tight. It was also a strangely divided RJ set. When they played new songs, it was dead silent, no movement in the pit. When the played old songs, like Invasion, kids went bonkers. Like straight bat shit crazy. Then still for new songs. So weird. Great band. One of the best. One love to Joey C, DFJ, Cooch, CC, Scace and the whole crew that played in this band. Didn’t Greg Mental even play bass for a while??
