| vit | Posted: Jun 28, 2011 - 13:25 Not radiant. Not beautiful. Not even great. Just nice. I wonder how that worked for him? Just kidding. It's nice to see the Samples get a 7 rating. These guys were a great bar band. Ok Ok since you ask I'll tell you the story. I saw them in Fort Collins in a bar and it was a fun time. At one point the lead guy called out to the crowd asking for somebody who's birthday was that day. He called out for somebody a few times, then he offered a free shot of vodka to whoever had a birthday that night. That was enough for me. I jumped on the stage. He clapped me on the back, wished me a happy birthday, and handed me the shot. He covered said under his breath, "Sorry, that isn't really vodka." I laughed and muttered, "That's ok, it's not really my birthday," slammed the "shot," and jumped back into the crowd. Ah the glory days. Gather 'round and I'll tell next about the the time I almost won the potato sack race. |

| sbegf (Manchester, Maryland) | Posted: Apr 26, 2011 - 08:25 Perfect music for a perfect East coast, 80 and sunny day! |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Apr 26, 2011 - 08:24 I always think this is the Police at first when it starts playing. Great 'ol urine Samples tune ... |
| Orodrigues (Resende (RJ), Brazil) | Posted: Oct 19, 2010 - 06:53 Pure The Police. I think they should be arrested! |
| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Oct 19, 2010 - 06:50 One of the first songs I heard on RP back in the day. Great band, I would have never heard of them otherwise. Thanks, guys! |
| hulabell | Posted: Oct 19, 2010 - 06:49 I got into them after college when I was finally able to hang out with some Phish head type folks. I'm sad I didn't know them before that. Such beautiful, upbeat music sometimes with a melancholy edge. Love Sean Kelly's voice. |

| jimmunn (Boise, Idaho) | Posted: Aug 16, 2010 - 12:29 Love it. These guys were great live. PLEASE play "Buffalo Herds and Windmills". My favorite Samples song!    (The Samples) |
| peter_james_bond (The Burg) | Posted: Jan 06, 2010 - 16:10 The vocals remind me of The Outfield. Nice ...  |
| contractor07 (Ann Arbor Michigan) | Posted: Oct 04, 2009 - 08:49 I wanna go back to college, re-live it all, hit the Samples show again we saw in Milwaukee !  |

| OmegaConcern (Sunrise, FL) | Posted: Jun 17, 2008 - 08:36 And a fond farewell to the Samples... http://www.underwaterpeople.net/page/Site+News It was a good run! |

| tallboy1968 | Posted: Dec 11, 2007 - 13:56 great! this brings back lots of great memories. super happy music with a bit of a raggae feel. fun band to see live. if you like this, check out "Feel us Shaking", "Nature" and "Nothing Lasts for Long" |

| rocco1207 | Posted: Mar 19, 2007 - 13:03 for a second I thought I heard John Cale's viola part in "Venus and Furs" on this song |
| RedGuitar (Kelley, Iowa, USA) | Posted: Feb 01, 2007 - 07:27 Their first CD, if it's still available, is very good. |

That's Ziggy M. > but this is without soul. Man these guys are white |
| bokey | Posted: Jan 17, 2007 - 16:27 The singer sounds like Randy Bachman,not really the Bachman skill set you want. |

If you ever get a chance to see them live, do it. Great show. |

| str8nochaser (Snottsdale, AZ) | Posted: Jun 27, 2006 - 00:12 DAIMN! I haven't heard this one in a darn long time! Reminds me of college. My rating is biased due to that reminiscing. It's not really such a great tune...decent, though. |
| MKG | Posted: Jun 12, 2006 - 09:56 So bummed I missed it! One of favorites. |
| kailou | Posted: Jun 12, 2006 - 09:47 Hmm, different version of this song? Don't like it as much as the 'updated' version on Outpost. Yeah, they sound at times a bit like the Police, and they hold promise, but I've found much of their stuff to get lost in pop fluff... |
| flandersdog (the sunny Pac NW) | Posted: May 03, 2005 - 11:54 until I looked at the playlist I thought this was a recently unearthed and unreleased Police song...wonder if the singer gets sick of hearing that he sounds like Sting? |
| Johray63 (The Lowlands) | Posted: Apr 04, 2005 - 04:44 Not by coincidence played after Sting! Great sound and production and very musical, but it hasn't quite got Sting's/The Police' song quality and playfullness. Hard, if not impossible to follow such an example! |
| tomnam | Posted: Jan 20, 2005 - 11:36 Saw these guys at a free concert at Copley square in Boston ahhh, summertime with Lisa, what memories....oh, and good song and fun band too... |
| LLMikeJ (midwest) | Posted: Nov 22, 2004 - 09:06 DMB used to open for these guys. nice. |
| mikedill (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Sep 24, 2004 - 15:02 I saw about my 20th Samples show last night at the Field Museum in Chicago. After all these years and numerous lineup changes they can still rip it. |
| mig7 (Minneapolis, MN) | Posted: Sep 24, 2004 - 09:46 This is how I will always remember the Samples. |
