As far as I understand, Tweedy (solo) and Wilco have been playing WTA songs, but not releasing the tunes on their Roadcase releases.

Watched it last night up to Passenger Side - great performance - nice to have this artifact from this year of touring, since I didn't get a chance to see them this time around. Nicely shot (for the most part), too.

My wife and I just entered the Apple family 4 days ago with a purchase of a MacBook Pro - with all the talk, I was expecting the new U2 record to be playing when we turned it on - but nothing. (I haven't gotten around to mess with the music side of things, yet) It is a nice machine.

Bah!

Nope - never knew Hiatt had a daughter in the music racket - need to check it out..

John Hiatt is still making some great records - Master of Disaster and Same Old Man is as strong as his mid 80's work. His latest is pretty good, too.

I have always enjoyed Brent's studio versions of his tunes more than the live versions - esp. Blow Away, where the live versions I heard on tape or saw on video never appealed to me, but I enjoy the studio version. . Though, if I witness more Brent shows, I may have a different opinion - I only saw two - the first one, he didn't sing any of his tunes and the second was his last - I don't think 'Never Trust a Woman' is a good song.

I watched the Richards' segment but turned it off and forgot to go back to watch the Replacements' segment - thanks for the link.

I think vocals during some of the 74 shows were affected by the microphones used. http://dozin.com/wallofsound/

I know Mickey Raphael sat in with them on 9/7/14. He played on Give Back the Key to my Heart.

I went the opposite this morning and listened to: Grateful Dead Live at Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center on 1985-09-10 (September 10, 1985) Some of these mid-80's shows are over so, so quick --- esp. the above. Okay show, never heard it before. Guess Weir was climbing the scaffolds during Sugar Magnolia. Now onto 9.10.83.

Well, I didn't think I would cross off "walking my daughter down the aisle" from my father/daughter list so soon --- little bugger wouldn't go unless I went with her......

Well that was a nice set.

Nephew's wedding --- my 2 1/2 year old daughter is the flower girl -- should be fun.

Fresh Air had a nice review of the record on yesterday's show. I only have their Twin Cinema release - need to check this new one out.

Reckless has a nice website -- just before you leave from Europe - you can see what they currently have in stock, click any items you may want and click "in-store" pick up, and they will hold them for you. Also like Heartbreak said, they can probably order anything they don't have in stock. I know I have seen the below used in their stores.

Looks like he was the one who filed, too.

From the Chicago perspective your best bet will be a used record store - like a Reckless Records or perhaps Laurie's Planet of Sound in Lincoln Sqaure may have some stuff. Sadly, there are not too many record stores left. There are some big box stores like Best Buy, that may have newer releases --- but even there, it's spotty at best. I don't think you will have much luck finding box sets in Chicago --- could be wrong though. I think all the Dave's Picks and Big Box Sets (like the 90 one) are mostly available via Dead.net.

I heard the local gov't was trying to block their liquor license - glad they didn't succeed. Though a alcohol free fest might be interesting.

Did the Fest every figure out their liquor license issue?

I seen performers with teleprompters blow lyrics. Teleprompters/notebooks don't bother me. What's up with your lead singer - not very cool backing out of a gig.

I'll wait for it to hit the library system. Last night I listened to a Rolling Thunder boot (New Orleans 5/3/76) --- T Bone sang a fantastically, awful version of Werewolves of London. Traveling around on that tour must have been a trip.

You guys have been a bit slow down there - only spotted two boots thus far (8/9 and 8/10).

Not sure if I caught 'Live Love' or not --- the vocals are their strong suit --- playing, too, though.
