The Daisy Wheel

This new little doc recently appeard in my youtube subscriptions. It’s all about the New Daisy theatere in Memphis on Beale Street. Followers of this blog will be fimiliar with the name.

Located on historic Beale Street, the New Daisy Theater has been the venue for hundreds of great shows from up-and-coming artists who have outgrown small clubs but are not yet ready to fill arenas. The Daisy has also been supportive of local bands, particularly metal and roots rockers, whose grateful fans fill the hall. The New Daisy has hosted sports such as boxing and wrestling, and in 2001 briefly returned to its roots as a movie theater by hosting screenings for the Indie Memphis Film Festival.

And yes, there is an Old Daisy Theater—it’s a historic, century-old venue located right across Beale Street from the New.

I’ve never seen that shirt look better!!

Here we are right outside in front of the New Daisy Theatre on Beale St. downtown Memphis, TN. That is Suzie, girlfriend of friend Spyder, who was my guide out to the show.

And right at the backstage door Spyder (in white) and I find Chief Greenbud there in the tie-dye…

Holy crap what’s Taco doing here? Soon I’ll discover many unscheduled guests will appear as the night progresses.

I’m already hearing a lot of “Hey it’s ‘TuckerMike’“, as I make my way inside, how crazy is that?

Oh hey look, it’s what’s his face that does that thingy-thing!

I got to spend some time, also, with Lil’ HollyWood seen here with his buddy Mike.

I’m introduced to “FDF”. Muck is insisting everybody come out in front of the stage, we will not regret it! … we didn’t regret it!

ok looks like Chief is coming up onto the stage next. so we’ll have to close this segment for next time here on “RovoluTuck”.

So I took the Greyhound bus out of Jackson, TN on down to the I-40 to downtown Memphis. With this fish….

I could take the horse or the trolly…

This might have been how the “Flameing Death Fearies” arrived?

Trolly wins! …
