  1. It's working for me. I am not sure if matters, but I am using Firefox.
  2. Each one has something to offer - I would pick the one with shortest line.
  3. WXRT just confirmed no TWEEDY or Lucinda Williams show.
  4. All this time I thought all the Ramones were related -- what a dope. They are always fun to listen to.
  5. Can't imagine what the lawn is going look like - actually I guess I can.
  6. Not sure why Karan isn't in Ratdog - but Kimock has fitted in nicely. Weir was back the next night --- everyone who wanted refunds for the Weir no-show show got their money back, too - which is good. I don't think I could have taken a whole night of Lane singing. I am guessing they will be releasing all the Spring 90 shows individually - like they did with the Europe 72 shows.
  7. I never could get into Piper, for some reason - I do enjoy Saucerful of Secrets, though. It would be great if they do go the Dead route and start putting out archival stuff - I suppose there is still time for them to do this at some point. It seems like they are all getting along - alright, enough - to sit together in a studio and listen to the stuff together. I guess they have been putting out these box sets (Immersion sets, I think they are calling them) - I think some of the sets have some archival concerts, included.
  8. Oh - that's just silly. Though they never did hide the fact that they want to make a hit record, so they could make lot's of money. I think they talk about it in the Pompeii movie (think it was Gilmour, too, during the recording of Dark Side). I never have a problem with Gilmour and the rest keeping the Floyd name and carrying on, though I was just starting high school when Momentary Lapse of Reason came out (which I enjoy), so I did not have that much vested in the argument. I remember my older friends/sisters not liking the idea, though. Enjoyed Delicate Sound of Thunder upon its release,
  9. Yeah - I will be ordering it, too. That 1st Spring 90 set has grown on me over the past year or so. It should sound better than the first set - too - they will be using the 24 track mix for this set, which good. It is fuckin pricey, though - but what isn't these days. Being on the Europe 90 tour would have been something -- great story Bosco.
  10. I recently found some blank tapes in my basement --- I thought of taping it, but I now I only have an old Sony boom-box - so I am not too sure how well it will turn out. I have a family function to attend, so now I will not be going to to the show anyway - so I might as well try it. I will be more than happy to send you a cassette ---- guess it will it be the master tape, too - since I have no way of dubbing tapes, anymore.
  11. Found my own wallet once--- on the way to work one morning, it must have dropped out of my pocket in the morning (about 5:15am) and landed on the curb in front of my place when I was living around North Ave and Western in the city - it was still there when I got back home at 3:30 pm.
  12. I cheated and looked it up --- it did trip my memory once I read it. Was at the last one - didn't really enjoy it, much. Anybody ever seen Terrapin Flyer -- Chicago band, who plays around the country a bit. They are are playing the Abbey tonight - thinking of going. I guess Melvin Seals and Mark Karen have been playing with them a bit, but I don't think they will be there tonight. I heard some of there stuff on Archive - it's sounds okay.
  13. Kinda like retainer fees --- I wouldn't think so, either. I am not sure what money would be coming in (with the exception of royalties) for the rest of the band members. I would think they get a big chunk from touring and recording. Wonder who handles their insurance or if the a 401k plan?
  14. Why are you surprised that Comiskey does it right? Went to game a few weeks ago, but only had a hot dog --- wanted a Polish, too - but felt I didn't need it.
  15. Has Roger and Pete ever gone on tour -- just the two of them? I wouldn't mind that show. Enjoyed the Bargain.
  16. Another one I have listened a few times recently was their 'Live at the Hull 1970' release - real good stuff.
  17. Now Listening to Who Are You, again - I think this still is my favorite studio release of theirs.
  18. Yeah, got that one too --- my favorite, by far. Guess they re-released the DVD - not sure if it was an upgrade from the original release or not, though. I have the cd release too - haven't watched or listened to it in a while. Checked about the Vegas Job -- my library does not have it - thanks for the YouTube info.
  19. Yeah - I owned that one, plus Thirty Years of Maximum R&B Live dvd. Need to see if the system has the Vegas Job release.
  20. I have been on a huge Who kick again - I have never seen them, live. Over the last week or so, I have watched all the below dvd's. Really enjoyed the Live in Texas 75 one. Not to mentioned I listen to the Deluxe issues of Who Are You, My Generation, Who's Next, Meaty Beaty. I even listened to Face Dances, again. Hooligans (my first Who cassette, I think) is waiting to be picked up at my library.
  21. My knowledge of him was always in connection with Stones --- him and Ronnie were good friends, of course they covered It's All Over Now, plus he sang back up on a few Stones records. I always assumed he was older then the Stones - but he was actually younger then them, though he had couple of years on Ronnie. Nice story behind It's all over Now - via wiki.
  22. Well the thread lasted longer then we all thought it would -- guess we can call that progress....
  23. Caught Ratdog in Chicago, last year -- I enjoyed it quite a bit. Saw a bit of webcast last month and enjoyed that, also --- like the two bass attack and Kimock fits well, too. I never minded the slower tempos of Ratdog --- as long as it went somewhere - the tempo's never bother me. I have seen some boring Ratdog shows, though. Will be catching them (with CRB) at the end of August down in St. Louis - which I am looking forward too.
  24. She sent a bunch to me, also --- she made the offer to many people on the board, right after Bennett's death.
