I saw the Dylan - passed on it, too, because of the price. Flipped through it and there's nothing really new in it or stuff I haven't seen. Haven't seen the Dead one, yet. My library gets Rolling Stone - but I haven't seen the Dylan issue - perhaps they don't get the special editions.

That's good - when I got the Phish tickets, a free subscription to Rolling Stone came with it - be nice if the subscription starts with the Dead issue, some how I doubt it will though. For $24.99 you can get a Garcia (all)Black T-Shirt over at garcia.com - Wow...... You do get a flac of a 1st set Garcia show with Lesh sitting in for Kahn - the only time that he did - that would nice to hear - but not worth the $24.99.

The above is a great shot.

Before the Flood was one of my first Dylan cd's - I think it has the definite version of It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding). I think there was more coke in the Rollling Thunder years, but 74 is not far behind.

I noticed those footnotes and found it a bit odd, too - but I guess the common reader/fan might not know - which is sad, but it is what is. It's good that the paper wrote "founder". I am going to for tongue pit tickets this Monday. Those aren't worth $600 or whatever they are charging, but I am at least going to try. Doubt I'll get them anyway.

Loosely inspired by nalafej thread about a free Nels Cline concert - a thread for members of Wilco concert performances. Nels and Glenn play out quite a bit, as well as the rest, perhaps having their show dates in one thread would be a benefit - who knows. First up, the below. Happen to come across this by accident. A very welcomed new Chicago venue, Constellation, is opening this month. The wife and I had plans to see Son Volt on the 7th - I think Glen may win over the wife, though - (No offense Jay). http://www.constellation-chicago.com/event/253339-parker-longberg-holm-chicago/ Mi

Since I skipped Vic shows - I guess it's good that they are coming back in August - hopefully ticket prices aren't that bad. Would love to see the Tedeschi Trucks Band, too.

1981 - About 9 yrs old - listening to the above record on a daily basis, over and over again - while looking at the album, being amazed by the images and the music. Kiss looked tame compared them. Soon traded off my Kiss records to my cousin for his only Stones record (Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass - another great record to look at while listening). Went all down hill (or up hill) from there. Remember posing in family pictures (much to the chargin of the p's) like a Rolling Stone.

Listening to WLS (Roe Conn and Richard Roeper) now - Roe just announced that Roger Ebert passed away - today. Listening to Roeper (TV partner/co-worker with Ebert) is pretty brutal - he is keeping together, though. Sucks.

Tyler Flowers - MVP MVP MVP MVP So far, so good - Sale and Peavey, looked great as well as the bullpen. Horrible in the field today, though.

For those who are visiting this summer, below is a link to the free 2013 summer concerts at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. For the Wilco peeps - Nels will play on August 8th and Glenn on August 28th - plus plenty of other great shows. http://timeoutchicago.com/music-nightlife/audio-file-blog/16178761/millennium-park-summer-concert-series-announced

Not to be out done by Nels:

Haven't seen them since 98, so I figured I make up for lost time - pulled a 3 day pass for the Chicago shows. I am bit bummed that the city is expanding the venue (Charter One on Northerly Island) - hopefully, they do a good job.

I believe it is - Beautiful guitars.

Rich is playing a great looking guitar --- I did not even see Jackie in the footage.

Listened to a few of the songs from 3/23 - it's okay - the only tune that stuck with me as really good was the Hard to Handle into Hush - it appeared the recording/sound got better as the show progressed. By Your Side sounded good, too - always liked that tune.

I am presently reading Richard Ford's Rock Springs - great book of short stories.

Me too - I'll download it tonight. I passed on Chicago tickets.

Looks like it's already up on B-etree - that's good.

Always like that pic on that Rocks Off book.

Did you meet Sheryl?

http://roadiebootcamp.com/About_Us.html Gotta love Google -- i guess he started a roadie boot camp, that's cool. Perhaps some day we all can learn how to become a "favorite roadie"

What ever happen to Jonathan Parker ("JP") - since he left Wilco? He was fun, though I never did like his/Wilco's rendition of Immigrant Song.

True enough.

You sure are a stickler, WIntston.
