Carlos Guitarlos & Chuck Prophet – Ramblin’ On My Mind Jam at the SF Eagle

Bad ass bar room blues guitarist Carlos Guitarlos (Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs, Bottom Of The Can Band) joined Chuck Prophet & The Mission Express onstage in early 2002 at legendary leather bar the SF Eagle. They jammed on this version of a storied blues refrain “Ramblin On My Mind”.

I got ramblin’
I got ramblin’ on my mind
I got ramblin’
I got ramblin’ all on my mind
Hate to leave my baby
But you treats me so unkind
I got mean things
I got mean things on my mind

When I recorded this clip back in 2002, Chuck Prophet’s backing band The Mission Express included Max Butler on guitar, “Teenage” Rob Douglas on bass, Paul Revelli on drums, and Chuck’s amazing wife Miss Stephanie Finch on keys.

Texas Terri and The Stiff Ones (CW Saloon Fall 2000)

Texas Terri Blistering 20 minutes of a circa 2000, Stiff Ones’ show, including a toxic tear down of Iggy & the Stooges’ “Shake Appeal” seen towards the beginning of the set. This classic Texas Terri & The Stiff Ones lineup was only together for a brief time, but fortunately I snagged some digital video of their heyday at the ye olde Covered Wagon Saloon. Unfortunately my up close & personal raw & rawkin” footage means some maxed out, way overloaded camera mic audio that’s in the red as well.


Hard to believe this gig was nearly 20 years ago, and sadly despite thorough searching online I can find no evidence of the exact date that this show went down. All I know is from the side banter captured on tape that it was definitely a Thursday Night, some ramshackle production at the Covered Wagon Saloon in San Francisco. The band was apparently opening for Jeff Dahl and evidentiary flyers seen on the wall of the club indicate it was possibly late September or early October 2000.
