3rd it --- the 73 set is a good one. you will also get the below at least for the $100 - they also may be still shipping the Cincinnati Gardens, 12/4/73 bonus disc, which is pretty good, too.

I guess I never realized that these events are in (what appears in the Kiss clip) large arenas, now --- now I know what Oldham was talking about.

Yes they do --- I am in my early 40's - but still prefer cds -- though I have been purchasing some HD downloads--- actually I bought the ABB Brothers and Sisters box set download version - it does sound good and it was much cheaper. I have never purchased a GD download, though.

I got Enlightened Rogues from my library system a month or so ago -- nothing special and I didn't bother to rip it.

They whole thing seems to be getting out of hand from a PR point. Up to the point where Duane was killed in the latest ABB book--- didn't really realize about the hard drug usage among the band when Duane was around, I thought that came on later. I don't remember the Skydog book discussing heroin usage, just cocaine. The book is a little over played --- 5 pages of how great Duane was -- a couple pages about road life - then 5 pages more of how Duane was great, etc..... The segment of a lot of them going to drug rehab was interesting --- it's good that caring and treatment for drug addicts ha

I always enjoy listening to Ummagumma - even enjoy the furry animals tune. The entire live side is good, too - definitely have better boots from the era, though.

I am assuming Paul is leaving, too --- could be wrong about. I bet the Top Ten List will go, too. I remember there was some issues with bringing the Top Ten list from NBC to CBS when Dave made the switch, I think it was determined that Letterman "owned" the rights to the Top Ten List, not NBC, of course I could be wrong about that, too. Happy for Colbert --- good for the City of Chicago, too (He is a Northwestern grad and Second City alum.)

I read that to, they all to seem to be kinda dick heads --- actually in this article, Gene comes off as the least dickish.

Line up for the May 21 show: Glenn performs as part of Fred Lonberg-Holm's Lightbox Orchestra - All Drummers Version Hideout Chicago, IL. Not sure how they are all going to fit all the drum sets on the stage. Picture of what LouieB was describing.

Speaking of B-days, we had hot dog talk awhile ago and I wrote that we were having hot dog party for one my kid's b-day party - below was the menu - all were tried by at least one of the attendees with the exception of the Atlanta dog. (as far as I know, no one was sick the next day). We threw the bunch in a couple of Crock Pots on low , without any liquid - they turned out okay. My mom hates hot dogs, hence the polish was thrown in the mix. Anyway Happy B-day to all the kids, today.

My kid and I watched the Indiana Jones type one and Star Wars one this past weekend - entertaining (I did doze off, but I was sick, in my defense.) Check that - it was Batman, not Star Wars (hell it could have been a remake "Barbarella" for all I know.)

Really - damn hippies. Is Wilco not "jammy" enough for them. All the hippie/deadheads I know are all Wilco fans. I am not Facebook, but their page is public - it's nice to see Lambert sticking up for Wilco - he is always talking about Wilco on his and Gans' Tales radio show.

This should be interesting.

I heard it's being billed as a reunion and they will just be busting out the old "warhorses" .

My kid want's me to put a hummingbird feeder in our yard (he is a Wild Kratts fan) - I told him okay.

I listen to his radio show sometimes, he does have some great stories.

or 10:30 central time, for that matter? (not me)

Didn't hear about that - ugh.

I don't how locked in Conan O'Brien's contract is, but I guess it would be fitting for him to replace Letterman, again. I heard his ratings are horrible on TBS - so TBS may want to drop him if they have a chance.

Heard great things about last years fest - should be fun. Looked like a great lineup, even before Wilco was announced.

If I could have my guitar, I would have no problem picking #2, because I could just play the past tunes. Not being able to hear new music, esp. jazz music, would suck.

With the exception of Lazy Lightning - this past tour, Weir has been playing all those songs mentioned above.
