My favorite, too -- followed by Stone IPA

In 1989, a Stones' Start Me Up opener sounded perfect. Also, always enjoyed a Hell in a Bucket opener.

Chicago has become a brewery boom town over the last few years. I recently moved to Flossmoor, IL (south suburb) - we have our own Flossmoor Station Restaurant and Brewery. Really tasty brews and food. Also just over the border in Munster, IN - there is Three Floyds Brewery (the beer geek Mecca)

The bold seems a bit of heroism to me. Curious to know if you would call the police first, then head over to your neighbors or would head over there first, deal with it, then call police?

http://viachicago.org/topic/49021-jt-talks-backstage-at-bonaroo/ Not sure if you heard the above interview in the link - Tweedy mentioned that they didn't get a sound check (unlike Sir Paul). Perhaps he had doubts himself. I am guessing most bands don't get a sound check in a festival setting. I missed the Wilco webcast - the only webcast I saw was Gov't Mule - they sounded great.

Below is link to the Suntimes blog post regarding the Kickstarter Campaign http://voices.suntimes.com/arts-entertainment/the-daily-sizzle/muddy-waters-house-kickstarter-campaign-launched/ Video Oddly enough, I am listening to a Stones boot of their Chess Studio recordings as I post this.

For the time being at least - the latest Weir Here - missed it the first time around - nice Black Throated Wind opener - also nice to see Wasserman.

I was joking. Should have used a smiley face or something... I am planing to use her bean burger recipe for my Father's day lunch, this weekend.

Is the ban on Speed Racer so severe, that the Mod's won't even allow her image to appear? (I am sure it's up to Ms.Miller, guess I could be wrong)

Well done! - I would have hoped someone would have.

It was okay - definitely nothing to write home about this time around. LouieB, in another thread, brought up the word "boring", with regards to the last time he saw Son Volt --- I wouldn't call Friday's concert boring (though Dave Bryson, the drummer, looked incredibly bored and in a desperate need of a hug), but at times it left a lot to be desired - plenty of redundancy in the sound of the tunes ---- Jay sounded great, though and Spencer was both great on the keys and pedal steel.

I more curious about Standing O - that would have been fun to hear.

Ripthisjoint908, my choice after Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, would be the below. A good rockin fun.

Keith and MIck did help to pay for Hubert Sumlin's funeral and burial - so I guess there is some type of precedent. I wonder if anyone has reached out to the Stones?

Same here. Yay!

Since 89 (even back in 81), Jagger has invited guests or current acts to open up for them, who are/were popular at the time - unfortunately, the people who sell lots and lots of records these days - pretty much suck (Ga Ga , Swift, etc...). I agree with Suites - the ticket prices are what sucks, I can deal with a tune with Swift or Ga Ga - actually I thought Ga Ga was kinda fun to watch. I had family members who went to the Monday, Chicago show -- they said that the As Tears Go By with Swift wasn't "too" bad. I was kinda of impressed with the Stones fans - I didn't hear any boo's from the y

I recently listened to The Centrum shor from 1984-10-09. It sounded pretty good.

According to your link (I haven't been following this "Grand Theft" stuff), David Plouffe was the one who tweeted the "Grand Theft" bit, not Carney - Plouffe was backing Jay up. I do have great respect for Plouffe - but you are right here - Plouffe should have taken the high road.

His briefings are pretty brutal - not sure why he is still around. Gibbs was great during the briefings (sure he was pompous as hell, but that was good), Carney seems lost a lot of times. Behind the scenes, Carney probably gets along with the press, more so than Gibbs, since he is a former reporter - but I think he should head back to the newsroom. The Press Secretary gig is definitely is a tough one, though.

Maybe, at least now, there is a better chance of them releasing a bunch of $85.00 tickets.

More press about the house. http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/20424032-421/muddy-waters-home-rollin-and-crumblin-in-north-kenwood.html

So how's was the show? Looks like you got to see a Can't you hear me Knocking, too. Was offered a Monday ticket, but I passed, proberly will be kicking myself.

My pick would be Wilson, too. Pretty straight forward song. If it's a house party and the are requesting Phish, they should be familar with the tune and be able to participate, which might be fun.

Definitely! Don't know how to do the dropbox stuff, but would be happy to get the discs. I did participate in some vines last year though the HIttin' the Web site, so I do have some Allmans - when I get home, I will shoot you a PM with what I got and we can set up a trade or something (if I have something that you don't have.)
