How was the show?

I am sure your pug would have been fine, as long as it was with you. I now live in the middle of suburbia and spotted a coyote walking down my side walk one evening --- oddly enough I was watching a PBS documentary on coyotes --- yelled for my wife so she would see it too, to make sure I wasn't going crazy and she saw it, too. It proceeded to cross the street and took a leisurely stroll through the park that is across the street from me, before it ran up onto the train track embankment. Use to see them a lot in Jackson and Washington park, when I lived in the city, too. They are harmless, fo

If anybody finds themselves in the middle of nowhere in Southern Illinois - Scratch Brewing Company in Ava, IL is a great little place for a beer. The beer menu changes on each weekend -real nice, laid back atmosphere. The owners are all nice to talk to. This weekend's Beer Menu: http://scratchbeer.com/

Read that he has been playing Autumn Leaves, in addition to Stay with Me. How did Autumn play out with the crowd. (assuming he played it in Memphis)

Just hope pushing Clinton to the left during the primary doesn't hurt her in the general. I wish the party would go further to the left, though - just not sure if the voters who actually vote in the general feels the same way.

The most interesting thing for me to watch will be the O's taking the field for the 1st time in the game --- Not sure if the O's have a Sammy Sosa-type player who runs out out to right field and does a whole routine -- wonder what Sammy would have done with an empty right field. (just turned it on the radio and Sox are already loosing 7-0 in the 3rd - crap)

Originally, the game was suppose to be at 6:05pm (Central) , but it got pushed up, due to the imposed curfew. (The TV listing was probably posted prior to the current issues popping up)

Read that last month or so --- one of the better reads on the Dead and the 60' San Fransisco scene in general.

I know, I know --- but I enjoy him --- I find him amusing, in a weird sort of old insufferable/ cranky uncle kind of way.

Yeah definitely --- too bad it's a 1pm game - I will be stuck at work. One funny thing I did read in a Tweet about the whole situation --- and the only thing -- is that the Umpires will probably be able to hear Hawk Harrelson complain about them if the booth window is open, while he is calling the game and not afterwards... (For the last couple of years, at least - Hawk has been fined and reprimanded for calling out the umpires).

It's the O's against the White Sox. F'd up situation, for sure.

Listening to 2/27/71 again today --- what a fun mess with the Beach Boys. I have never came upon a picture of them sharing the stage that night -- has anyone? One of my first boots.

I would say every show is recorded by the band for a future Roadcase release at this point --- may not alway release it as a Roadcase, but I assume they always push 'record'.

Imagine the damage with the ladies that a young Weir and Mayer could have done. Like I wrote before, the Mayer/Weir performance on one of the late shows was tolerable --- wouldn't pay to go see them, though.

I'll make sure my passport is good to go.

Looks like Nels Cline and Julian Lang will be playing the Montreal Jazz Fest on 7/1/15 --- always wanted to make it to that fest.

^^ All good news. Definitely will watch the Santa Clara shows.

I threw an email to my wife who saw them in 92 (Sara is my wife's childhood friend and Steeleville is a one horse town in So. IL): I know my own older sister saw them a few times in the late 70s and early 80s too --- she was the one who turned me onto them.

I saw the title of the thread and was afraid that Bob Uecker died... Saw Dylan a few times and I was real up close -- when he use to do club shows. Since hardly anyone was there - I was able to walk right up in front at a Weir/Wasserman show - that was kinda of cool. Wilco and Tweedy shows, I guess too.

Ford is great -- oddly enough Haruf was the one who told me that I should read him. I reread a random story in Ford's Rock Springs every year or so.

Haven't gotten around to the above yet --- recently read Plainsong and Eventide --- nice to see others reading his stuff.

I never gotten around to see them, either. Watched the below the other night, again--- even by 1974 Moon seemed to be loosing steam -- still an okay show, though. I downloaded the show off of some site - the version on my hard drive seems to look better then the attached youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXPGtnNlgFw

I always have listened and enjoyed band since the 70s - but never read up on them, history-wise. Saw them live once back in the early 90s. It was funny that they talked about the whole majority male-based audience of Rush in the doc -- the two biggest Rush fans that I know are my sister and my wife.

Finally gotten around to watch Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage doc -- good stuff. Really didn't know anything about Rush, other than that they were from Canada. Peart definitely went through a rough spell for bit - it was nice to see how the band/organization waited it out and supported him when needed. Gene Simmons was actually not annoying to listen to - either was Billy Corgan - I even enjoyed Sebastian Bach's enthusiasm.

Looks like the Chicago Shows will be simulcasted in theaters. Not sure if this means that they won't webcast it, too. http://www.fathomevents.com/event/fare-thee-well Perhaps they will have better control of the content by having the shows simulcasted in theaters, rather than a webcast, where it can be more easily captured and shared. (Guess someone can go the Seinfeld route and capture it at the theater.) I am guessing they will be selling a box set of the shows in the future.
