Rocky Wall Entertainment Happy Holidays Concert with Gene LaFond & The Wild Unknown
Rocky Wall Entertainment is pleased to present this Happy Holidays performance by Gene LaFond and The Wild Unkown. Gene and his band reunited after 10 years for a FREE Saturday night Happy Holidays concert at the Silver Bay Reunion Hall.
Gene LaFond, who has made his home in Silver Bay since 2014, was a founding member of the band "The Mere Mortals" which, along with the late Larry Kegan, were invited to perform twice at Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit Concert in San Francisco. LaFond has opened for Bob Dylan, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Kinky Friedman, and has performed numerous sold-out concerts in the Midwest over the years with his band The Wild Unknown. Most recently he has been performing along the North Shore with his partner Amy Grillo.
"Twin Cities singer/songwriter Gene LaFond ... is a versatile journeyman who writes honest, compassionate and appealing songs that can be refreshingly offbeat (the country-folk fantasy 'Thank You Emmylou') or even positively Dylanesque (the 9/11 blues shuffle 'It's Gonna Rain')."
Jon Bream, Minneapolis Star Tribune 10/24/02

I just love the background traffic. Kids and grandmas just oblivious to the party the Wu cultivated back in the late 90's and early 00's.
Thanks Rocky Wall for posting this concert. Great performance by one of the best bands ever. I envy the audience for having witnessed this intimate show, but am thankfull to be able to watch this in the comfort of my home in The Netherlands.
Karen came out to my Heart Tribute bands shows. She was way cool. The Jayhawks are one of my remaining heroes. <3
Hello from Arizona! I can't believe it's been 21 years since my last Wu show. Chris, you're almost as gray as me! It's so cool to find a recent full show. You guys are jamming as fine as ever!
absurdly underrated jam band, just bizarre that they weren't bigger
Easily up there with WSP and SCI... If I remember right, they just didn't tour as hard.
Thank you Jerry!!! Thanks for choosing music Mr Parr 😊 ❤
Their sound is so beautiful!
Thank you for posting this. Great show
Holy hell... That version of Smile was amazing!!! The are like 🍷 that gets better with age. No one is worthy of their songwriting & harmony throughout the years.
World’s greatest live and recorded band, well…one of them!
Holy damn this is excellent

Always a great pleasure to hear The Jayhawks 👍🎸
Every song was so beautiful.
Most under appreciated band of all time. Brilliant!
Wow! This is great.
Buffalo springfield and tom petty vibes.
Thanks a lot for this great band...
They sound great, small crowd and all. What amazing songs that hold up so well. Thanks so much for this treat.
I always loved the Jayhawks, but their sound is kinda thin these days.
I saw them during the Mockingbird Time tour. That was the best possible lineup, with Olson back in tow, but Grotberg, O'Reagan, and Perlman as well.
Wonderful audio quality even on my iPhone
Thanks! I'll pass this along to our acoustic landscaper Jerry LaVigne , North Shore Sound. He is the best!
More people on stage than in the audience unfortunately
Actually, there were ~2,000 in the audience and 4 band members on stage. It was a very wonderful evening.
Thanks for this great live video 😊 The Jayhawks are one of my fave americana bands, in 2003 I was in their concert here in Berlin, after the show we had a nice small talk with the very kind band members and they signed my Rainy Day Music Vinyl album, it has a special place in my collection ! keep on rockin' 🎸🎹🥁
So glad you enjoyed this show. Great story from across the big pond!
Great show, thanks guys. Hello from Italy from a big fan of yours
The Jayhawks, great honest rock n roll band. They sound great. Sorry, I fell asleep in the middle of it.
You say honest r&r band.. So honestly, do you have narcolepsy or just some good drugs to be falling asleep ? Hope you're laughing cause I didn't mean to pass you off. In not going to investigate but it seems like I hears of them years ago. An east coast band maybe. Educate me if you want. In just listening, first time (maybe).
@@georgeking5044 I think I have some good drugs. I’m stuck on the couch recovering from hip surgery and scrolling for something interesting. Don’t mean to insult any Jayhawks fans but I might have put a toe over the line. On another note, I actually broke all the doctor’s rules and drank a beer when I heard that Kris Kristofferson passed away. I magically went all the way to NYC and hung out with hobos the first time I heard Sunday morning coming down. I was only 17 years old and some drug hit me way back then the very first time I listened to his songs. That’s about as honest as I can manage until I manage to get off this f**king couch.
I'm putting this on to go to sleep. I don't think they would be offended. I only sleep with music I love.
Really, Really, missed this band!
Sad that it looks so poorly attended
There were 2,000 folks in attendance. Total Silver Bay population is 1,800 - so we think it went pretty well.
@@RockyWallEntertainment 39:07 ... I mean I'm sure it's a fun time for the 1800 who live there but for a touring band who used to be pretty big, well...

Outstanding Performance !!! 👏👏👏 What a great Band Keep on the stage. 🎸
That was a hell of a beginning! Damn! 👏👏👏👏
I agree:-)
What a cool venue for the Jayhawks to play. This is true dedication by the band to simple folk traditions gifting the north shore their very best.
Great band, saw them several times , big quality music no matter what kind of style you like
Listening in Sao Paulo, Brasil
Wow!! One of the greatest bands EVER!!
Incredible
What a treat .
SOOOO AWESOME!!!!!! The Jayhawks are my most favorite band of ALL TIME!!!!! I was hooked as soon as I listened to Hollywood Town Hall a week after that amazing album was released!! I will FOREVER love The Jayhawks!!!! All ready told my wife, I have many songs from The Jayhawks to be played at my celebration of life when that time comes. 🙏♥️🎶🎸🎶♥️🙏
SO glad I found this! Thank you❤🇨🇦
I thought Hollywood Town Hall would make them massive. Then I thought Smile and Sound of Lies would do it... I've given up, but I'm glad to have them for myself and the others who love them.
We were there! What a fabulous night seeing this one of a kind show. Any chance you post the video from the whole night? Thanks again.
Yes, the full Friday night show is now posted on our UA-cam page - enjoy! Additional tracks from the Saturday evening show will be posted soon.
Nice! Marty Sender You Tube
LOVE the Jayhawks! Criminally underrated/under appreciated.
Neil young sounding vocals ?
Not in my mind, but jogs my memory that I saw Jayhawks open for Neil in all-acoustic show in Mpls in the 90s "Harvest Moon" era for Neil, between HTH and TtGG for Jayhawks. Martin Zellar of Gear Daddies performed too.
OUCH!!! No thank you
When I walk my cat in the morning, I think- what music am I going to play that’s gonna give me a good chill and put me in a good head space.. The Jayhawks, naturally.. their music makes me happy.. love these dudes!
Saw them open for tom petty during the wildflowers tour, Phoenix.
Wow…a real rock and roll band. So honest and pure.
I hear some Jesse Colin Young in Gary's voice......Nice!
last dance with mary jane….😉
not quite. Plus this came out a year earlier than last dance with mary jane. Waiting for the Sun - Am, G, F, F Mary Jane's Last Dance - Am, G, D, Am
@@jdustan calm down
@@guitarplayer5932didn't mean for it to come across that way, just saying.
There's actually a connection there even though the chords are different- Benmont Tench played on their album, "Hollywood Town Hall." A year later Petty came out with "Mary Jane..." and I remember thinking to myself that he must of been at least influenced by the Jayhawks tune. The main beat is exactly the same.
what a great band. superb
