I enjoyed that Bobby sticker - I was one of those Bobby fans who got flack from my friends because I was always sticking up for him. When I start listening to the Dead (86-87), I made an all Bobby mix tape and always listened to it. I was a teenager at the time, so I guess his more rocking songs suited me better at the time.

I did, she definitely held her own. I guess she will be in front of the House this afternoon. The aftermath of the Benghazi indecent was indeed poorly played out by the President's camp. I think it turned into political theater afterwards, but that's they way it goes these days.

Never had a car of my owned until 97, so I never bothered with bumper stickers. In the Chicago area, the below shirt was quite popular. I bought a red one and gave it to a friend.

I am not sure if it's sad or not, but my knowledge of Dowd is his involvement with The Not Ready for Naptime Players. Gotta love parenthood. Probably won't be able to make it up there for the gig - sounds like it should be fun, though.

Kelly Hogan is playing a gig at the Green Mill (Chicago) - interesting booking for the Green Mill. http://greenmilljazz.com/events/9pm-an-evening-with-kelly-hogan/

http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=168805385&m=168809014 Shenandoah - Tom Waits with Keith Richards. I think it sounds great - great production.. Keith's singing is pretty good - it was mixed well.

The wife and I are in the same spot as you - great, great show. It hard trying to avoid information regarding the later seasons.

I would agree with Some Girls, Disintegration, and Blood on the Tracks . Add: John Wesley Harding Two live one's: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! Allman Brother's Fillmore

and welcome, ripthisjoint

Well that's look good.

I guess I never did either - I am just glad the exit seems amical. I wonder if Luther will be one of the quests in Nashville.

http://www.jambands.com/news/2013/01/08/black-crowes-to-play-special-acoustic-show-at-the-ryman/ The acoustic show sounds like it may interesting. I caught one of there shows in 2010 in Chicago, when they played one acoustic set and one electric set - there acoustic performance was great. Last night I listened to their 8/27/10 The Pageant, St. Louis, MO show again --- great, great show/recording. Also it's kinda cool, that it appears that the departure of Luther was a mutual decision....

Today' his birthday, too - 66 years old....

Totally new stuff.

Merry New Year, everybody!

No leak. The news of a new record is cool. Sorry about that.

The new record is cool, didn't think there would be one.

I enjoy Billy/Mickey up to 70 a lot, but solo Billy is probably my favorite.

No - no I didn't. I don't think the wife would have been up for it - plus it would be awkward draggin our 6 month old daughter. Another one I forgot was Furthur at the Charter One Pavilion in Chicago - great place to see a show right on the Lake, with the city in the background. Great, fun crowd/scene. Definitely the best Dead related show that I saw since 95.

Another was Bob Dylan in Ft. Wayne - haven't seen him a few years - it was nice to see him playing piano, though his actual playing wasn't the best, but it was one of his better performances that I seen in a while. Plus, Fort Wayne is a nice town.

After taking a quick peak at it again, I am pretty certain it isn't Bukowski, though I don't know who it is. It does look like him, though I think Bukowski was a bit uglier... From http://www.blairjackson.com/chapter_fourteen_additions.htm Chapter 14: Beneath the Sweet Calm Face of the Sea Page 260, middle; Leon Gast on the movie footage, and more: "Some of my favorite stuff they didn't use," he says. "One night, I had [cameraman] Al Maysles in a dressing room backstage where there's a big table with a huge buffet. There are maybe four or five people in there and then a set ends.

I think you meant 2012, Shug. For me Neil Young and Crazy Horse/Los Lobos in Chicago in October. The Geneva Wilco show was fun. Caught a few (but not enough) jazz shows, too (Dave Douglas, Jeb Bishop's 50th B-Day Bash)

Little disappointed with the Greene announcement, too. Luther is a great, versatile guitarist. I only know Greene's playing from his shows with Lesh, so I am not too familiar with him, but I never thought of him a great guitar player - his voice is okay, though. Also, Shug, the Vic is all G.A. - you can sit or stand anywhere. Great place to see a show - pretty small, too. The surrounding neighborhood is great, too - lot's of decent restaurants/bars. Wilco has played there a bunch of times - there may be some info regarding the Vic' area in the Going to Chicago thread. http://viachicago.

Got one of these this year from the kids - very nice.

Vic has a g.a. seated balcony - floor is open.
