Hala Madrid!
Now that Arsenal is out of the Champions League --- rooting for Real Madrid.

I have Englishman friend who has been trying to get me into football for the last 13 years -- I finally picked at Premier League team, before the beginning of last year and settled on Arsenal ---- I picked them mostly because it is Mick Jagger's favorite team.
It is has been a blast following the league. I love the structure of the league. Bottom three get regulated and such -- wish USA sports had the same system - it will help to ensure teams making sure they put a decent enough team together to compete.
My buddy is Manchester United fan -- it has been a blast watching Arsenal-United matches. In my village, we have about another four English transplants -- (Liverpool/Villa/City/United/Arsenal/Newcastle) are all represented. Makes for a fun day at the pub when one of the teams is playing.

Go Gunners!

Friday Night Dinner
9 years of series that I missed but can now binge at my leisure excellent stuff - situation comedy with well choreographed farce at times.
The last few seconds of this above had me in stitches last night. Makes me wish I had a brother, ha!
Forgot about this series - my wife and started watching it couple of years ago. Need to pick it back up --- the bits do get a bit redundant - but funny as all hell.
Not as great as The Inbetweeners - but still very funny.
Also finally got around to watch The Perks of Being a Wallflower, this past week. Good movie (it was hit with my teenage son and niece, they both watched last year or so) -- my biggest beef of the movie was how would the three main characters not know "Heroes" by David Bowie???? The writer should have picked a different song or a used different angle. Of course, I got the biggest roll eye from my kid when I brought it up. I was no where as hip as these characters and I knew the tune when I was in high school.

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 testing the waters first -- I have seen plenty of people at shows on flat ground struggling to keep their bearings straight. I am somewhat fearful for some at the Sphere.
Was able to book a resort type place which is about a 5 minute walk to the venue --- so logistically wise it is setting up to be a great weekend. I am not a gambler, so hanging at the pool will probably my main activity. I do see that they have an 'art's district' now and a tram -- so that will be cool to check out too.

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.

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.

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.

My daughter was an extra in the movie. Her shoulder is prominently featured in one scene.
But I agree - really enjoyable movie.
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.

The concert from San Francisco 1971 is amazing. Think Live at Leeds meets Who's Next.
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 wouldn't care quite as much about the ban on taping if they actually put new shows in the Roadcase or on Nugs. It's been over a year with no new shows. Pretty silly.
In the meantime, we're lucky there are some intrepid tapers who managed to capture some shows from this year.
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?

That was an awesome match --- loved watching the crowd afterwards ------ such happiness and pure joy.
And as a Gunner fan I was really, really happy to see a Liverpool defeat.
My friend turned me on to the Men in Blazers show earlier this year --- Roger Bennett must have been ecstatic for the Everton win
