I didn't see any of the San Fran. shows listed, yet. I never did purchase a show from the web (including any of the Wilco releases) - I like the concept, perhaps one day I purchase one.

Petty's XM/Sirius radio show is very good. That 4 disc live set that Lammycat mentioned is very good, also it is very nicely priced, too.

Below is the Jambase link - Casal got some flack for it by "deadicated" Garcia fans - which is a bit weird for me - their perspective was that Casal wasn't worthy of playing Jerry's guitar. http://www.jambands.com/news/2012/12/13/neal-casal-plays-garcia-s-wolf-guitar-with-chris-robinson-brotherhood

Has anybody found or heard the CRB show from the Dec-2012 run in San Francisco, where Casal played Garcia' s Wolf guitar - I haven't seen it pop up yet. I believe it was the 12/12/12 show.

My first show was in 94 - The Allman Brothers played on 6/22 at the World and the Dead played on the 23rd and 24th at Soldier Field - great three days. The Allman Brothers show was far better than the two Dead shows.

As does Mr. Betts live on - I think it's pretty safe to say that Gregg and Richards have tapered their intake to near nothing - I am not sure Dickey can say the same, but I can be wrong about that.

Regarding Toler - saw this on another board - never saw it before. I am not too familiar with Toler's stint with the Allman Brothers. Below: Greg Allman & Dickey Betts studio jam - 1982 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=snSlZzzcRDI

Think positive, Moss - you may record a hit song and your kid's college fund will be set.

Speaking of Weir - he really plays nicely and is up in the mix in Dave's Pick 5 - only halfway through it - so far very good stuff. Regarding Desolated Row - always loved how Weir mixed up the "Was that some kind of joke" line - sometimes anger, other times whimsical.

Well that was a blast listening to the above version - I agree, Sugar Magnolia could have been played at every show and I would have be fine with that, too ---- of course on Saturday's they could have dropped it for One More Saturday Night. Feel Like A Stranger is another favorite of mine.

Ribot plays with them (MMW) from time to time. So far, the line up does look great - wish I was heading there....

Thanks for the link. Because I have a lot of the songs, I probably will take a pass on purchasing it, though.

Drove by the house yesterday - sat in front of it with my sleeping daughter for a while and it was depressing as hell. Definitely lots (new construction/rehabbing) going on in that area, so I can see why developers are chopping at the bit for it, especially since it has a half of lot right next to it, which I am sure is part of the parcel. That Red X on the front of it looks ominous as hell. The Hadiya Pendleton shooting happen just blocks away, which made even more depressing...

I blame torrents for the demise of the post office. I don't think I will miss Sat. service - I believe they still will deliver packages and express mail on Saturdays, also.

For what it's worth, I emailed Burns (4th Ward) and Hairston (5th Ward), voicing my support of preserving the home.

This past summer I signed up for a couple of vines on Hittin' the Web - oddly enough, it was the first time that ever I dealt with vines. I got the entire 2009 Beacon run, the entire 2005 Radio City run, and 4 shows from 96 (2-Chicago/Riv. shows - Toronto, and Cleveland.) I do wish they allowed the shows to be shared, via on-line, but it wasn't too bad dealing with vines, I guess. This thread was started (by you) during the 2009 Beacon run - listening to 3/27/09 today - their version of Can't You See with Kid Rock was pretty damn good. 3/12/09, with Guy, Anastasio, and McConnell is next up

Presently listening to the below - very loudly, of course. Great set.

SoxFest is going on this weekend here in Chicago - one of these days I am going to head down there. Do all teams have a "Fest"? I suspect they do, it's great for the fans as well as the team, in general. Definitely, at least at Soxfests, players and managers get jeered and booed, but from what I hear from various friends, it is always a fun weekend. (CubFest is next week).

Not sure what kind of art you are into, but this upcoming exhibit looks interesting, if you enjoy Picasso. http://www.artic.edu/exhibition/picasso-and-chicago I haven't been to the Art Institute, since they added the new addition, so I am probably not the best person to give you advice. Hope you enjoy your brief stay, though.

Thanks for posting - that was great. The "Meat is Murder" bit was funny as hell. With Colbert, Morrissey took it all in stride rather nicely.

http://www.suntimes.com/17757008-761/morrissey-vows-no-reunion-smiths-almost-left-me-on-a-mortuary-slab.html From today's Chicago SunTimes. Man, does he come off as a douche, I guess that has always been part of his charm, though.

Burns was my alderman up to this year, the redistricting knocked me out the 4th and into the 5th, much to my chagrin.... Anyway back to Waters, anyone know why Muddy moved out to Westmont. It's pretty white out that way now, can't imagine what was like back in the 70's. Not that there is anything wrong with a black man moving into a predominately white area, of course.... (it's a bit like Cheif Keef moving to Northbrook, okay maybe that's a bad analogy )

Burns seems to be a good guy, hopefully he can help. You may want to give Preckwinkle a shout out, too - though she may have bigger issues - she's from the neighborhood, too (Burns replaced her as my alderman).

I need a new one and Amazon has it pretty cheap -- they look a bit goofy, but I am going to grab one. Besides the $2 in price is there a difference between the Snark JF-SN8-Kit01 SN-8 and the Snark SN-5 Tuner?

Thanks for posting, Lou - I always found it interesting that Muddy moved to Westmont, of all places. The house on Lake Park is right by me, I probably drove by it a dozen or so times, not realizing it was his former house.
