Tws performs beautiful world from their 2011 rerelease of Vim.
April 11, 1997 Thanks!
The tone on his Strat is so good!
Having seen them many times live, at Ball State, Indy and Chicago..... I find it interesting that nobody mentioned Michael Smith. Really great guitar player and was amazing live.
Missing the days in Broadripple watching The Why Store at the Vogue. They owned their audience at every performance. "Heater" are you in here? Joe?
My moms ex husband labeled their first before they blea up! My mom and have followed them for30 years❤❤
I remember seeing them open for Yngwie Malmsteen at Shades in Orange Park Florida. Awesome show for a small venue.
I got to hang out with these guys after a small show in Indianpolis at a bar called Zanies 2. A little blues bar. After this guy played lack of water, he jammed with Gene Deer, who is an amzing blues player...then it was on later at Gene's house. Will never forget it. Would have been in the 90's.
Gene Deer RIP. Zanies 2 those were the days in Naptown on the east side.
@@that_tshirt_dude Wow. Thanks for the post. Had no idea. Will be missed a great deal in Indy. Was a staple at events state wide. What a guitar player he was. Just amazing.
Unreal memories from this talented band from Indy
Great band I listened to them all the time.
Amen, to that FACT! Back, around 1996,I seen: *) Amanda Marshall, *) The Why Store, & *) John Cougar Mellencamp I would drive back down to the Bloomington Auditorium to see any of them, again, by themselves. But, The Why Store stuck out the most & I'm still memorized by this band! I'm a music but & would say they are in mute Toop 10 Favorites of All Time! Later on, I found out he's from Indiana & no a few local musicians that have are have others in their own band that plays with them, wow often. I believe music has such a strong hold on my soul, because of the side stories! 🕊️❤️🎵❤️🕊️
I have always loved this band!! Great music 🎶
They were a must see at Rick's in East Lansing in the mid-90s. Strong songwriting (with hummable melodies and memorable choruses), unique setlists every show, and even some transitional jamming (one song becoming another without stopping) almost every night. Also, Michael David Smith was a *beast* on the Strat. Best $3 cover charge value I ever paid.
With a little bit of my unprofessional, investigation, I would have a Very Hard Time, believing, there is another state, with more, outstanding Musical artists, then the status that resides The Home of College Basketball, The Famous Slogan, " There's More Than Corn In Indiana!" And a (s2) Talent All Around, Please, feel free to speak up!
Thank you
Roadmaster, Faith Band…
Michael is absolutely one of the baddest musicians to ever come out of Indiana. Those early 90's were amazing. Living in Bloomington seeing them at the Bluebird every Tuesday for dime beer night 🤘🤘
The world needs more of the WhyStore.
Love The Why Store...the music of my 20's
I'll never understand why this band didnt make it big time. They were amazing. they got me through a really rough time. of course it was a really alcohol fueled time but they got me through it...
They were signed but Chris didn't want to give up any control of the music so they disappeared into obscurity. They still play around INDY, but the line-up is new and the old songs got rearranged.
You're only national appearance and you play this POS why wasn't this LACK OF WATER?!?
Now I know know why
World Rising
omg found out Dan Hunt is my Uke Teacher!
So I was watching a vid with J D Simo, and I asked WHERE is Michael David Smith? please get a band and come back
I've been going to the Slippery Noodle Inn in Downtown Indianapolis to watch Chris play on Mondays for last couple of weeks. It's an enjoyable time to hear him play and relax to good music.
Why didn't this band ever make it? Because Shaffer was clearly an over-affected weirdo trying WAY to hard to be plausible.
The truth is, the record company wanted to compromise their follow-up album and they turned down money to keep the music authentic to their belief
@@therealmikeh Interesting, I've always wondered what really went down. I'm guessing you're confident in that explanation? No trolling here, seriously interested... as that's not my understanding of what MCA's feelings were.
I loved the Why Store, and had a vested interest in their success. Why didn't they make it...? My knee-jerk answer is straight out of Talladega Nights, "cause they liked to party".
FOH3663 This came straight from Chris and the band when we interviewed them when they came off their tour and back to Indy. They were playing at Zanies Too on the east side where it all began. Chris said he’d rather play on the corner with his guitar case open than to compromise the sound that made them successful. Btw, I produced a local tv show at the time, 1999, called I’m Livin’ at the time. Shortly thereafter Chris formed Shaffer Street and Charlie the drummer starting playing for Gene Deer a local blues band.
@@therealmikeh Hey Mike, I appreciate the detailed reply. I was at that Zanies show... it was crazy. The magnitude of their popularity ... packed into that club that night, truly insane. In addition to freelance work both live and in studios, I was FOH engineer for a couple different bands at that time; Tad Armstrong's His Righteous Fold, and the late John Zink's Tone Pigs. We often appeared with The Why Store as a support act @venues big and small around the mid-west. Just a whirlwind! Great times for sure.
Started listening right before my friend died.I repeatedly listened to it through this ordeal.Just me,alcohol and The Why Store.15 years passed and i still cant happily enjoy the music.But somehow love the music.I tell you,it fucking hurts
I get that
I got to play guitar with The Why Store for about 18 months from 2011mid-early2013 and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The first lineup of the band was much more organic because it was obviously less "micro-managed" but even in spite of that, playing with Chris Shaffer was one of the most rewarding musical experiences of my life. Chris was one of a kind and always brought something different to each and every show. Jerome Rieskamp and Dan Hunt were also fantastic. I really miss playing with those guys, but everything happens for a reason...
I mixed monitors for them a few times in 95-96. We're talking way back... lol What I remember about them all is great guys, every one of them and extremely talented.
I truly miss this lineup. Anything after this just isn't the Why Store.. No matter how hard Chris might try. I'm from the area where they started and saw them more times than I can count. These were the days....
Awesome,Chris has one the coolest and unique voices I've ever heard my hats off to you sir.
Greatest band you've never heard of. Chris Shaffer is a musical genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been a fan of "The Why Store" since catching them in Detroit, MI opening for John Mellencamp in the late 90's. I've had their CD in my laptop case ever since - it is my "go to" for listening to the entire CD over, and over, and over again - amazing lyrics, phenominal voice. Happy to see John Mellencamp watching out for fellow IN musicians, still.
There was nothing like them and the newer versions are ok but the chemistry just is not the same.
Benito Rocks!!!!
