Legendary Shack Shakers Live Review

The Legendary “Trip” w/ The Legendary Shack Shakers | Will’s Pub Orlando | February 5, 2015

by • March 4, 2016

[Editor’s Note: This is another installment of a fun series we call “Two Views,” where we put out two different writers at a show to conduct completely independent live reviews. In this installment, Mitch and Dainon go on two very different wild rides with The Legendary Shack Shakers, and, Mitch may or may not have eaten magic mushrooms … Read Dainon’s Legendary Shack Shakers Live Review Here. Reach Mitch’s below.]

“The fact he’s still alive is surprising.” Dainon says, in reference to The Legendary Shack Shakers lead singer, JD.

Outside the temperature has dropped. Martin‘s the only one pulling his long straight hair behind his ear and taking drags.

*BURRRRRRRP* [Female voice] “Ugh. It smells like my burrito.”

Martin: [directly in path of burp, nods head] “I know. I feel full now.”

Celine (Martin’s Girlfriend): “Haha! Like, I’ve been feeding you?” [Laughter erupts]

Brad: “Let’s go back in, it’s not even Saturday yet.”

Inside, the Shack Shakers are shaking up a packed room, soul by soul. Lead singer JD has his shirt unbuttoned, his wild eyes seem bottomless, and he’s blowing furiously into his harmonica.

This is insanity.

Brad: [looks at me, surprised and laughing] “What the fuck just happened?” As the the Shack Shakers finish another explosive song. We’re completely roped in by the “Swampbilly,” our favorite genre in the universe right now.

We’ve truly never seen anything quite like this, drugs or not.

Disclaimer: Now, you may be wondering why we (may or may not have) chose to eat mushrooms and go to the Legendary Shack Shakers show … well, simply because no one else has. And, we fucking documented it. You’re welcome. It was great. If you want to recreate our experience or have an experience similar, you can Click here to see some of the shrooms and edibles that are on offer. Magic mushrooms are now legal in Canada and becoming a part of Canadian society, whether for recreational or medicinal benefits. There’s a variety of strains available for you to try, like this albino penis envy, which is a very potent magic mushroom. If you’re thinking about going anywhere near a hallucinogenic substance, like LSD, for whatever reason, be it recreational or therapeutic, you’ll want to check its purity as you can’t always trust dealers to act in good faith. Oftentimes, they are guilty of lacing their products with other questionable substances which could prove to be harmful – with the use of these test kits here, you at least have the opportunity to identify for yourself precisely what you have in your possession.

Josh: “I have to get going, man.”

Mitch: [Long pause.] “I’m already there, man.”
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ THAT is how high I was.

Brad: “We can hear each other fine … but this guy [motions at the bartender] thinks we’re on ‘shrooms.” [High laughs ensue, followed by an eye roll from the bartender (sorry, dude).]

We eventually complete our drink order, two Tomoka Brewery (my mom and I’s favorite brewery, located in Ormond Beach) White IPAs — fucking delicious, highly recommended. I’m so thankful for the IPA passing through my lips. This night is the brightest of nights. Brilliantly bright, and we own it.

Everything that you say feels like you’re talking in your sleep.”

Says lead singer of the Shack Shakers, JD. “This guy brings you back to center,” I write.

Mitch: “And, then I died.” (Not sure why I wrote this.)

One of my good friends, Philly, grabs my shoulder and looks into my eyes, “Don’t forget … it was intense.” He says confidently. I don’t think he knew just how intense it really was for me.

(After the show) Brad: “Guys, there’s something really important I have to tell you.”

Mitch: “What? Did you shit yourself?”

Brad: [Pauses, finger draws to chin.] I think the more appropriate questions are ‘Are you shitting?’ or, ‘Have you shat?’

I never did find out what he was going to tell me.
