It is still streaming on the archive.org, too. It's a different source then the one that popped up on Dime. http://archive.org/details/Wilco2013-08-04

Curious to which versions you have on your mix tapes ---- nice comps.

Made it to the Cline/Parker show tonight - nice evening. Went with the family so I wasn't listening too, too closely, but it sounded good. Also not at all familiar with Paul Bley and John Gilmore’s album The Turning Point, so I have no reference point on how performance compared to the record (this is probably the best review ever written ) At one point Nels did play a nice looking Rickenbacker and while playing one of his Jazzmasters he broke a string, which he replaced while Frank took a drum solo.

Most of the 7.24.87 show in on View from the Vault IV. The dvd also includes 7/26/87, too. From the Dylan/Dead tour http://deaddisc.com/vi/View_4.htm

Speaking of song lyrics: what does Phil Mogg mean when he sings "Seventeen and a nature's queen ya, know what I mean"

The White Sox are on a roll, 3 in row and they are wins for once....god, this season can't get over fast enough - Go Pirates!

How will Breaking Bad end?

Bump for tonight's show. August 8 Jeff Parker-Nels Cline Quartet : The Turning Point Chicago Millenium Park 6:30 pm

You probably don't all the bells and whistles that is offered from Dead.net - though I guess I can be wrong. The documentary shown before the movie at the theater was pretty cool - though I don't need to see it again.

Amazon has the SSDD DVD/CD set a pretty decent price, now. http://www.amazon.com/Sunshine-Daydream-Veneta-3xCD-DVD/dp/B00E34A9FU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=32TY16BNH7QE8&coliid=I1WV1J4LOS67A6&tag=vglnkc4192-20

"I am a vulgar man! But I assure you, my music is not." One of my all time favorite lines in any movie.

He's probably busy eating a banana.

I thinks he on most of New Morning and Self Portrait. Was lucking enough to see Bromberg sit in with Dylan and his Band at the Metro (Chicago Club) in 97 - at the time I had no idea who he was - it was at treat to be there, though. Below are some reviews of the night from expectingrain: http://expectingrain.com/dok/set/97/12/971214a.html Never realized that there was Bromberg/Garcia-Dead relation before, though. http://www.deaddisc.com/disc/Wanted_Dead_Or_Alive.htm

Just got an email from PopMarket - Today's deal is 36% off the Nilsson set (have no idea why I get emails from them, never bought anything from them)

Yeah it is - video is great, too.

Wonder what happened to Sparky Speaks - I don't think he has been heard from since Sandy. Listened to WTA a couple of weeks ago - still not very good. I don't listen much to their studio stuff - mostly recent boots and the occasional older one.

Signs saying "1535 Days Since Last S.F. 'Dark Star.' "

I just read the NRA opened or will be opening a museum somewhere in Midwest ---- I think they should dedicate it to President Obama - their greatest fundraiser. found the story - it will be in KC http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/03/us-usa-guns-museum-idUSBRE97207920130803

I wonder how they came up with that figure - 2.5 ounces every two weeks - that is a lot of smoke. My mother and father who are both in their 70's and dealt with cancer and its treatment, are all for this - and she hates hippies (with the exception of me and a few of my friends, of course) --- so it seems if my p's supports this, the whole entire country should ---- I am proud of Illinois, though it's about time this measure passed.

I am not too familiar with Reeves, I do have Cure boot DVD from from a festival they did last year and he played with them --- he definitely did not reel himself in too much at Lolla - he was pretty much all over the place (in a good way) --- the show was perfectly mixed, too (at least from where I was standing - right next to the soundboard). He fit right in --- definitely a lot more 'shredding' then I expected to see at a Cure show. Below is the complete Lolla show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Ioppd81mY

Just having seeing The Cure this past weekend at Lolla (for the 1st time), I'd put them in the top 50. Great solid show. I would love to see Reeves Gabrel play with Nels Cline, someday. Smith still has a great voice and the rest of are solid as ever.

See - I'm the opposite, married with a 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 year old at home (happily, though) - at times I welcome anything that gets me out of the house for a bit. I still haven't had a chance to listen to the latest pick - but listened to the boot/show plenty of times and always enjoyed it.

I am not sure how many times I would watch the film again - the actual concert footage was great - the filler, if you will, not so much. If they release an audio only, I will get that. Who knows, if they come out with Blue-ray only release, I might get that, too, but I don't need the whole set. I wonder if the essay by Johnny Dwork is going to be the same one in the Taper Book, I assuming Johnny Dwork and John Dwork are the same. Regarding the 12.50, I thought that price was fine --- I treated it as a bit of an event - plus it was playing in theater that I knew had great sound and screen

Yeah I saw that - St. Stephen would be cool to hear --- it's no These Boots are Made for Walking, though.
