I think Stewart was always "on-stage" when he played - tucked in the piano section, but clearly visible --- He may have not have been introduced all the time, but I think that his own doings - he did not want to be introduced.

As I wrote Blondie Chaplin plays off stage (at times) - also it has been mentioned that Pierre De Beauport (Keith's guitar tech) plays at times --- I have never "seen" that - I know Pierre is credited on some studio records as "guitar player". And like Jules - I spotted Blondie behind the piano riser at the United Center. Also good point, Bosco, regarding Bralove - I thought of him earlier. I always thought Healy just like f'ing with Weir vocals and that's it.

It's up on their website, too --- that's a bummer. http://furthur.net/

Blondie Chaplin plays (or at least use to) guitar quite a bit off stage with the Stones. Chaplin is introduced as a singer and does sometimes play on stage with his guitar, but at times when he is playing guitar, he is off stage, or behind the piano riser. I am not a big fan of this type of set up, either.

Yeah an "aw-shucks". Glad it all appears to be okay. Looking forward to the next Dave's Pick installment - haven't gotten a shipping email, yet. Lastly, happy 4/29/71 - my first tape (I believe). (oddly enough, my 13th wedding aniversy, too).

Ok, maybe you can take a break for that. I did read that Weir left in a ambulance. And yes, Lammy - he definitely is a busy dude. Gans always says he got (kids) college tuitions to pay off.

Didn't Bobby have a similar episode last year or so? Wish him the best. And yes - gotta keep playing no matter what.

My earliest musical memories are of George Jones. He had a good run - kinda surprised he lived so long - hell of life.

That was rough. I thought I had a bad night last night....

Think you going be happy - Weir has been added to the Tampa bill..... Weir is only playing the first few shows. Too bad only the first few. Everybody better be quiet while he's playing, too.

I think he has a couple of them - the suit and guitar is part of a Midwest Rock & Roll exhibit. I think there is more info in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame thread. http://viachicago.org/topic/38353-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame/

OK, not sure what I did - but you're welcome!!!

Like I said, really looking forward to seeing this show at Toyota Park - grabbed 2 GA pit tickets. Only way I would want to see the show and I got lucky.

In 97 or so I saw Dylan play the Dan and Ada Rice Center at Benedicitne Univ. in Lisle, IL - my high school gym was only a little bit smaller than it. The boosters were selling cups of orange punch on folding tables for refreshments for dollar. It was a very odd venue, but great show. Yeah - he plays anywhere that will take him.

I always thought I'd like to have a beer with Dylan. I agree though, if I was Dylan, I would want to stay away from the freak fans, too. Going to catch Dylan this Thursday in Champaign IL - decided yesterday to take a night trek to the show. Anyway, like Wilco, every time I see Dylan I say, okay that's enough of seeing him live, but I always break down and see him again.

I am thinking of passing, too - Wilco and Dylan are my favorites - but seeing them at Toyota Park (Chicago-area) is not appealing - wish they would have stuck with the ballparks. Anybody seen if kid's under a certain age are free, (typical to the ballpark shows) - I haven't seen such info. The length of the sets is not really an issue, though - just location, location, location.

I just heard on Tales on the Golden Road Radio show that Weir is going to take Weir Here on the road (towards the end of the year). Below is a link to the Tales' shows, in case you do not have XM/Sirius. Weir talks about it on the 4.21.13 show. http://www.talesfromthegoldenroad.com/

Just watched their version of Jumping Jack Flash - I like it quite a bit. Nice solos by both Rich and Jackie.

Bah! - the newly expanded Charter One would have been a much better choice. Nice line up, though -- MMJ doesn't do much for me, though - seen them twice, they were okay.

Well, they only person (that I am aware of) who was let go, was the SUV driver who was carjacked - I assumed he wasn't armed. I am also assuming that the MIT security person who was killed was armed or and had some sort of weapon (could be wrong though). I do understand your sentiment, though. I don't share it, though.

I did hear that their openers are fed well and get plenty of refreshments, though.

With all due respect to armed services - I know three young people (18-19 year old men) who recently joined the service because of the net that is provided - they know the risks, of course. Patriotism is playing a part in their decision, but it was not the main reason.
