It is a good one. Really enjoy the Gotta Serve Somebody cover.
-
CBS - my rabbit ears couldn't pick it up, either.
-
Definitely -- love hearing it live -- I just block the cheesy lyrics.
-
You have to lose You have to learn how to die If you want to want to be alive always makes me want to say 'puleeze' (that expression annoys me, too - which makes it even more frustrating) - love the music/melody of the tune, though...

Weir on the Late, Late Show. http://www.relix.com/blogs/detail/watch_bob_weir_and_john_mayer_team_up_for_althea_and_truckin

Listened to it last night --- did get boring, though the music is great - it gets monotonous. His vocals and delivery are also great. I am not familiar with many of these tunes, some of the lyrics are rather good. I guess the version of That Lucky Sun is more like the original, which I never heard, before --- a lot different than Garcia's take.

Full AARP interview is out. http://www.aarp.org/entertainment/style-trends/info-2015/bob-dylan-aarp-the-magazine-full-interview.html Picked up the disc at a Best Buy while at lunch; after I visit with my drug dealer, I will give it a listen tonight. The below is taken from the NYT review -- it pretty much sums up Dylan's performance of Stay With Me when I saw it in Chicago, last year. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/03/arts/music/releases-from-bob-dylan-and-diana-krall.html?_r=0

I haven't received mine - yet - probably has something to do with the blizzard over the weekend...
-
I don't think Melvin sings, though --- much better player than Vince, though.
-
At least he admitted his mistake with great humility (of course under lots of pressure) -- but I agree, dumb lawsuit --- I enjoy the way this thread turned, since I won't be going to Solid Sound - can't wait for some of these beers hit the Chicago market (or I need to head east some day - never been any reason to go before).

Never did catch a JGB show - much to my dismay. Listened to the Joe Russo's Almost Dead shows from 09/19/2014 & 09/20/2014 at Concord Music Hall, Chicago, IL this morning --- really good stuff, wish I would have made the shows. I was never much a fan of Benevento/Russo duo when they use to perform on a regular basis, so I never paid much attention to their Almost Dead shows before today. https://archive.org/details/jrad2014-09-20.cmc621.sbd.matrix.flac16 https://archive.org/details/jrad2014-09-19.cmc621.sbd.matrix.flac16

My wife's friend bought her a ticket to a show at small theater in Chicago - it was around Jan,2014 - she knew nothing about them prior to the show - she said it was a great, great show. They ran into the band before the show in front of the theater and had a nice chat.
-
Yeah -- if all three shows sell out instantly and they add two shows, say two days later (Tues/Wed) - I don't think too many people would complain. The stage is set up - all the people are in town, etc. The city has been great with big crowds - for the most part - hopefully that will continue - it's going to be a very busy weekend for sure - all over the city.
-
It seems like that Peter Shapiro knows what he is doing, with regards to this Soldier Field shows. Would be interesting if they add more shows at Soldier Field.
-
Yeah, me too.
-
Wilco is still pretty good. This board has turned me onto The War on Drugs - they are good, wouldn't mind catching them live at some point. I can take small doses of St. Vincent - her music is kinda of interesting and she is a hoot to watch perform (only saw her via video streams). Lot's of great new jazz is still being performed and put out - but that's not everybody's cup of tea.
-
That's pretty crazy ---- good for them. If I don't snag tickets, I guess I can hang out in the lot during the day and make it back home at night to watch it on TV.
-
Pretty impressed with below news -- some of my friends did go the mail order route - I was not motivated enough to deal with it.
-
I enjoyed the double bass the last time I saw Ratdog - it took awhile to find both Rob and Robin in the mix, but as the show went on - I did and it sounded pretty cool.
-
WXRT - Saturday Morning Flashback - 1993 - Great year of tunes, thus far.
-
AmazonUK has some in stock -- I am sure it more than typical US prices, due to exchange, but cheaper than aftermarket US prices - could be wrong though. I have bought CDs from AmazonUK and never had any issues. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OGU6PK4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00OGU6PK4&linkCode=as2&tag=shtv.uk-21&linkId=N3SFDYDSQM742V6R

Yep - your friend is correct. Pitchfork, of all places, confirms. http://pitchfork.com/news/58191-bob-dylan-giving-new-album-away-to-50000-aarp-magazine-subscribers/
-
Guess it with his upcoming release, it's fitting that he does an interview with AARP. http://www.aarp.org/entertainment/style-trends/info-2015/bob-dylan-aarp-magazine.1.html

Think he nailed it. Guess it would have be interesting to see what Brian Jones could have done with it ---- he may have used on Satanic, but not sure.
