Don Carlos

Don and Wadi Gad crew mashed up Portland last night. Cant wait to see him in Cali.

Don is the best. I hope he does a few shows in the Sacramento area before SNWMF. Maybe in Truckee, outdoor Radisson, or Harlow's.

does anyone know the band that Don Carlos usually plays with in the states??

Dub Vision?

Wadi Gad that last 2-3 times I've seen him.

I just found out that someone I know is related tothe guitarist for one of Don's bands, and I think he lives in the bay area

wadi gad - drums
toho saunders - bass
david 'hodge' lodge - keyboards
ed 'loveletter' elizarde - lead guitar

plus horns

his name is Ed Elizalde, ring any bells???

Regpara, thank you sir......

Don does shows in the Bay Area with the Reggae Angels, but I think they usually open for him rather than back him during his set. I don't know the name of the band that plays for him.

Well I guess you already got the answer...

Blessed Love-
Do any of you know the contact for Don Carlos? I would like to bring hime to New Mexico to do a show if poossible-
help me out if you can

I love you but jah loves you more...don loves to say that . He always brings such niceness when he comes and shows the people lots of love. its funny though cause he has made so many albums on his own and yet when he asks the crowd what do you wanna hear they always pick a black uhuru tune. hehe

-was+ suppose to play here last year but the promoter backed(not a reggae mon)out. so looking >forward^ to a showing this summer from uhurus best i*ya!

he had some items for sale, 1 was a CDR in a white sleeve of some singles i think he copied to distribute. it is really nice, but the sound is poor. came straight from 7" it would seem. some nice DJ version an ting. 6 bucks, not bad.

-its a shame nobody+ want to carry their own 7'inch anymore while on tour. not like it used to be. was so great to get records from small shows. dem good days i'll tell ya. i* tink beres need to add those lyrics in his song. JAH*

Irie Sis-
How bout Ginalship, or Black History, even Spread OUt! I would love to hear him bust one, or all of those.........

hog and goat
day to day living
just a passing glance
dem never know natty dread have him credential
spread out
pass me the laser beam

so many great tunes, those dont even really scratch the surface.

there was no need for don the don to do that uhuru thing even though he was original to that group. he is so much better on his own.

one love

yes, man

> Earl Cunningham - What Kind Of Woman (Extended Mix)


bad tune.. played this @ the last Smith Ranch party... Warrior 12" style

My fav on the oval clash, That Love, Earl Cunningham....The bass line is very nice. Try to play it, make your hands a little sore.....

and who can forget "late night blues" inna 12" discoplate mix style.

one love

"Hey little girl don't forget that we've got a date", yes I. My personal fav pon Prison Oval Clash is "That Love" hands down. Pale Ryder and I mash that one now and again on the drums and bass. Check for Little John-"Your Mate" on the same riddim. Reggae Sting 12" stylee
-Stevo

Firehouse Clash. I love that album. Ever crucial selection. Unfortunately the 2 greatest songs on there are not on the lp. "Woman change your ways" and "Black History".
-Stevo

Its nice to see lots of people do know Don Carlos albums i also have this various artists cd called Va-Foundation Steppers Presents Offerings and it starts with this irie Don tune called Righteous Chant starts with sea gulls and ocean sound in the background Pure niceness . he has 2 songs on this compilation the other one is called oh jah. i dont think ive seen these on any of his albums but maybe im mistaken.

HARVEST TIME - One of my all time favorite Don Carlos selections.

Just saw Don last night in Park City, Utah. Off the hook!
Wadi Gad was his drummer, and the band Dubvision backed him up. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait 'til June...
The solstice will be hoppin this year...

Thanks! Now I finally know the name of the band, Dub Vision. Is Wadi Gad the permanent drummer??

i think the name of wadi's outfit is "jahbandis" or at least thats what they used to go by. maybe its changed now or maybe its dub vision they go by when they are backing don.

one love

Many of you are talking about the song "Spread Out" or "Here I come again" actually they are two different songs both by Don.
"Here I come again" says "Spread Out, Spread Out..Here I come again"
"Spread Out" says "Spread out, Spread Out...An Rock dis here music"
In my opinion "Here I come again" is by far the better of the two.

like i said:

>note "spread out" isnt the song commonly titled "spread out", i think its more
>commonly known as "here i come again

i like spread out much more than here i come again. but thats just me.

i forgot about "hey mr babylon". tuff tune.

While attending a Don Carlos show... maybe, 2yrs ago, @ the Shattuck Down Low in Berkely, they had some serious sound difficulties. We were waiting till close to midnight for Don to play. But in the mean time Wadi Gad was on the mic just chanting to some unknown players of instrument. But still long before Don came out, he took over the drums from whoever was playing them. You are so right Dale. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. That man is ssooooooo wicked on the drums. Goin' a hundred mph, tam fallin' off his head.
WOW.
-Stevo

he really manhandles the kit. crack crack crack, take that.

yeah wadi gad seems to always fill in when shows need him ive noticed. i think one year he was on stage most the day. Respect goes out. I cant wait for don i feel like hearing that song music crave live . bless cali massive

"Nuff man gwann and preach love/But deep in them heart they don't know what is love/They just a fight, fight, fight/And that no right, right, right"

Spread Out - BIG TUNE!!!!!!

Im gonna make the heathen love jah
