We’re four days removed from the first two shows of the God Street Wine reunion and I’m still sporting a smile as wide as Montana. Not only did I get to see one of my favorite bands of all-time play two killer shows for the first time in nearly 11 years, but I’ve got two more heaping helpings of GSW in front of me on Friday and Saturday. Despite my big talk in the first installment of God Street Wednesdays 17 months ago, I never thought I’d write one of these columns smack dab in the middle of a run of four God Street gigs.

It’s tough to see a band you love break up with no chance of a return in sight. This quintet gave me – and obviously tons of other Winos – many special nights in the ’90s and the thought of not ever getting to see these five guys play these songs ever again was painful. GSW fans have waited patiently for our moment and now that it arrived, we aren’t taking it for granted. With that in mind check out the HT premiere of Epiphany from last Saturday night’s show featuring video shot, edited and synced by Mike Wren and soundboard audio recorded by Eric Budke…
God Street Wine – Epiphany (Live at Gramercy ’10)
Looking ahead at this weekend’s Irving Plaza GSW shows, there’s a whole host of originals and covers that weren’t performed at the Gramercy.
My Top Ten Most Wanted are…
10. Into The Mystic
9. Hammer and a Spike
8. The Ballroom
7. Get On The Train
6. Upside Down & Inside Out
5. Water
4. Epilog
3. Dig A Pony
2. Wendy
1. Bring Back The News
We’ve got one pair of tickets to Saturday’s GSW concert at Irving Plaza that our pal CC donated to us so that we could find a good home for the ducats. If you are 100% able to go on Saturday, leave us a comment detailing the God Street Wine original you’d most like to hear. Early tomorrow morning we’ll randomly pick one of the comments and give the commenter the two tickets. Don’t enter more than once and the contest closes at 11:59PM this evening (July 14). Good luck and we hope to see you at Irving.
