Yeah -- made 80. Good on 'em. That last decade has not been great for him - health wise. Was such a great, great player with a beautiful tone. Songwriting skills were there, too.

Enjoy the Phish show. A giant Joshua Light show would be great.

Wow - this thread as been Dead (ha!) for almost a year. And now I opening it back up with a Dead & Co bit (e-gads) ----- decided to head to Vegas to catch some shows (June 13, 14, and 15th). When it was announced I was on the fence (not a big fan of Vegas at all, spent one day/night there in the late 90's and then drove out to the Grand Canyon for the 2 remaining nights of the trip) --- but decided to do something different this year. That being said I am looking forward to seeing what this Sphere thing entails and such. I am glad Phish is

It is sounding good. A great year. Looking at Wilcobase I saw 6 shows in 2008. Five at the Riviera and the Lollapalooza show = not the Iowa show, though.

New upload. Wilco Val Air Ballroom Des Moines, IA Mar 9, 2008

Saw the below on a Stones site -- (Keith with Joe Ely). Not sure where it was taken - assume someplace in Texas.

Yeah -- his radio show was great --- did catch him live at Blue Island Beer Company in 2019. Chatting with briefly while he was taking pictures with whomever wanted one. Cracked me up when a few people were leaving when he starting singing his "Donald Trump Can Suck My Dick" song ---- they didn't mind any the previous songs poking fun and 'bashing' other people, religion, etc..... A great, fun night.

I think the Staples performance was my favorite part of the movie -- the way it was shot was lovely and great. The glimpse of Richard Manuel at the very beginning of the below clip is sad as hell - definitely wrecked throughout the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCSzL5-SPHM

Checked out Pete's Lifehouse DVD release from the library ---- from 2000 ---- been listening to the latest boxset a lot - via Spotify --- this Dvd is pretty great. Checking the credits, I looked up Phil Palmer -- the other guitarist on the gig. Co-wrote "I'm No Angel" - Allman's solo hit - didn't realize that. Also his uncles are Ray and Dave Davies.... He plays well on this DVD. The whole DVD production is nice. Must admit, when I listen to Pete singing --- I never miss Roger.

That may have been my favorite part - kidding - that's cool, though. Did she get to meet Giamatti, Randolph, or Sessa? I got the 1970 feel while watching the film. Also, I definitely will watch the Iron Claw movie at some point -- the Von Erich's were pretty popular and in my middle school in the early 80's ----- I remember writing 'Kerry Von Erich is a wimp' in my friend's yearbook --- she in turn --- taking up a whole page --- wrote "have a great summer and REMEMBER KERRY VON ERICH IS NOT A WIMP" in mine. I guess I remembered...

Watched the Holdovers -- very enjoyable. All three of the main actors (Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa) were great. Great characters and story.

Yeah - the BBA is also on my list.

I am waiting on the price to drop even more. But I do really want this set. Been listening to it via Spotify, since it was released.

He doesn't look a day under 90 - god love 'em. Waiting to see the setlists before getting Chicago tickets -- want to see at least three new songs being played - the more the better. After multiple listens, I have come to really enjoy Hackney Diamonds.

Yeah, the Dvd i checked out does not have any interviews.

Checked out Live at Great Woods dvd from the library, a very nice, hot Jessica. Both Warren and Dickey have great solos. Gregg is nice and high in the mix, too. From 1991. I think I saw them for the first time in 92. They sure were a bad ass looking band in 91. Jaimoe's mohawk - Allen Woody and Haynes straight out goonsviles. Butch looking like a dweeb in backwards ball cap, though. Gregg looking cool as always. And of course, Dickey in hat covering his eye like an old western.

Great picture - Dickey Betts celebrating his 80th birthday. Didn't realize Dickey was in wheel chair.

I agree. Wonder what the reason is for lack of shows?

After a few listens to the Hackney Diamonds --- I am still trying to get past the production -- the drums, especially. I don't think Jordan is the issue, either -- just they way the drums were recorded. I glad the band got away from Don Was - but perhaps a picking a different producer would have been better. Oddly enough I am having issues with the sound of the latest Wilco, too. With each listen, I seem to be enjoying it more and more, though I am happen to have more issues with the Wilco one -- perhaps because I had higher hopes for Cousin.

All great choices - you weren't into Stones before that? It was "Harlem Shuffle" video that got you to investigate the Stones, right?

Today, for the 1st time since 1986, I bought a new Stones' release on vinyl. I never have buy multiply variations of a record --- of course I bought a Target one today and waiting on the White Sox and the Paul Smith version to come via the mail.

Nothin -- got to enter two tickets, then when I hit enter - I got the not available message

Chicago, you're formally invited to Wilco-ween! An end of tour celebration in honor of Wilco's 13th album Cousin. Pretty cool Tix link

You definitely would have noticed it by just pulling it out of the sleeve - guessing it isn't as heavy as the Floral Ice.

Yeah I was surprised when I opened the Floral Ice vinyl -- plays wonderfully, though.
