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.

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.

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.

Well the thread lasted longer then we all thought it would -- guess we can call that progress....

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.

She sent a bunch to me, also --- she made the offer to many people on the board, right after Bennett's death.

Agreed, both are missed --- jules could be dick (at times), but a funny one and every board needs one. I just reread the Bennett suing Tweedy song parody thread last month or so -- that was fun read, mostly thanks to Speedracer.

I thought Blair Jackson stopped writing for Dead.net - nice to see him back. Probably will catch the film. I have the show - it was part of the Complete Europe 72 set - I think I only listened to it once - need to give it another listen. Pretty poor camera work on the this one by Lemieux, which is kind of funny.

Someone uploaded the Wembley show again a Dime yesterday - last night, I watched up to the acoustic performance - it is very clear that everyone on stage was completely fucked up. Actually, Neil looked the least f'd up. It was fun to watch, though. Need the watch the rest of it tonight.

Wondering if it's because of his somewhat recent move to New York City--- it is a great thing.

Hoping my library system gets this set --- I wouldn't mind hearing and seeing it, but I don't think I would spring $ for it.

I read Cutler's book - but don't remember the Still's particulars.

First time hearing about the Temple Release --- thanks. I wonder how much more is in the vault? from Amazon.

Listening to it now and it's not ringing a bell -- only hit 74 in the States --- 14 in the UK. Whatever happen to Des'ree.

We named our kid Ezra (who is now 4) --- a nurse when she saw the name on his tag, said "Hey, Better than Ezra" - it made my wife and I chuckle. Terence Trent D'Arby comes to mind for me -- enjoyed that Wishing Well when it came out and then pretty much nothing.

You might want to pick up Live in Seattle, if you want to hear Jones and Tyner play with Coltrane in his later stage (in a live setting).

Yeah I guess --- would you say the Beatles Sgt. Peppers, too, then? The Beatles touched on the theme with Tomorrow Never Knows, I guess. The closest song to a psychedelic song for the Stone prior to Request was "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?"

It's rather amazing that you never heard the 5.8.77 show before - it's a good one. I just had a conversation about this show last week at a jazz show.

Did you end up getting it? --- I listened to the set again after you posted --- Leo is the stand out track for me. I started to listen to the set while at work (no one was around) and finished it at home, while the kids and I were picking up the around the house. Its a great set for back ground music or sit around with head phones. I definitely miss Tyner - Alice Coltrane is okay, but she doesn't add too, too much to the music. Ali is great though and I always enjoy listening to Sanders.

I just would have wrote, 'I wonder what John McLaughlin thoughts were on Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos in 2008. ' - since all the linked stories are about McLaughlin --- that's all - it's all a mute point. I am guessing McLaughlin will be looking for a new line of work soon ---- probably as a FOX commentator- if he isn't one already, that is.

To be fair - so far Cantor is blaming ol' Cooter (yet) - his pollster is.

I used 'the jerry site' countless times over the years --- it was a great resource. http://www.thejerrysite.com/

You should just make it to Chicago and see them both at the same stage on the same day. It just a hop, skip, and a jump from your area. (The wife and I did briefly think about taking a family trip to Pittsburgh for the Tweedy' 6/6/14 show - for some reason recently - prior to the Tweedy Pittsburgh show announcement - I have been wanting to take trip to that area)

I know the Stones stayed at Still's house in CA for a time in 69 to rehearse. They may have spent more time there during the recording of Exile, too. The below shot was taken at Still's house. I just recently read that the girl in the photo was one of Still's house maids.
