I think I got a paper copy last year. 70 shows are some of my favorites.

Can't remember if they said they were not sending out a physical copy of the Almanac, kinda hope they continue to send them out. The web/email format is a bit cumbersome to read.

I just finished watching that video - It's great that the cache include 69 and 70 shows. I think I may subscribe this time around - the Dave's Pick 5 seems like a winner. I only purchased 1 of the 4 last time, though. Meant to get DIck's Pick 4, but waited to long - which I guess is no biggie.

That was my first thought when I read the list, too.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/inside-the-rolling-stones-reunion-20121024 Rolling Stone has an article about the shows - the headline reads "Reunion" - is it really an actual reunion? Perhaps so, if Wyman and Taylor participate, I don't know. The concerts itself doesn't seem like a reunion to me, I don't think they ever disbanded.

Yeah I read the above this morning - good news. Looking forward to the pay-per-view.

I forgot that I had It's Only Rock 'n Roll on my hard drive. Not sure what mastering/version I have, but I forgot how nice it sounded on head phones, especially through my home system. Nicky Hopkins plays his ass off throughout. The Glimmer Twins did a nice job producing, also. The sequence of If You Really Want to be my Friend into Short and Curlies is great.

Well, that didn't take long. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/ozzie-guillen-fired-as-marlins-manager-after-1-dismal-season-with-team/2012/10/23/68d3360e-1d4c-11e2-8817-41b9a7aaabc7_story.html

Whole album (including album cover) can be a bit scary.

I wasn't familiar with Station Man before I heard in on Rich's record - great, great tune. I haven't listened to his latest CD in a while, need to dig it out. I did go to a Best Buy (looking for the Gov't Mule box set, without any luck) and saw Chris's latest cd, but I didn't buy it. Totally flaked out on CRB's two Chicago shows last month or so - heard the tapes and thought they sounded good.

I always hear "I got you an Atari"

Perhaps it was a bit too snotty. I thought what he said after it was more potent.

That was alright - looked like a Guitar Center acoustic guitar room on the stage.

When I saw them in Chicago, I enjoyed Walk Like A Giant, quite a bit - definitely a "different" type of song. Were the people booing insufferable or the song?

Speaking of the Recovery, I am about finished with the above book. Informative and well written. He writes about all the successes and failures. Did bring up a lot of bad memories,though. Nice interview with author below. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/interrogation/2012/08/the_new_new_deal_a_book_argues_that_president_obama_s_stimulus_has_been_an_astonishing_success.html

That's cool. We need more people moving into the city. Welcome.

The President would - but the Governor's boys would beat him up afterwards, then Michelle would kick all their asses and Mrs Romney will then ride off on her horse.

Hey, I don't like it either, but it's politics and politics is about winning the message at the end of the day. All I am saying is that this Libya issues isn't going away. When it happen, I actually donated some more money to Obama because I figured he was going to need it. Sure, I was thinking of the 4 who died in the attack, but I also was thinking about the campaign - I was making it into a political issue myself. It's a "big f-ing deal" as the Vice President once said about another issue. I don't think making the death of 4 Americans into a political hot potato is necessarily right, b

This morning on XM's P.O.T.U.S., the Republicans were still winning. I think it will not sink the President - I am weary of the issue, though.

Kinda surprised the new one is not on the list.

Thanks for the link - on the Libya issue Republicans are winning on the message in the media (and not just on FOX) and in a election that's all that matters - regardless of the actual facts.

Between records and cd's, I'm pretty sure I have them all, with the exception of Love you Live - I had that on 8-track and never purchased the cd or record. I should get it some day, at least for the El Mocambo side, though I have a decent sounding boot of the El Mocambo show.

I agree with Jules - Libya is going to be an issue up until the election. The Governor is not going to let it go and I guess I don't blame him. I do think the President handled the Libya issue nicely last night, but the President's team message since the attack has been muddled and poorly played out.

I just heard Waiting on a Friend on the way to work and was thinking how great the intro and outro of the song is - it is a great tune and video. It's Only Rock n Roll is one of the few Stones records that I don't have cd, so I haven't listen to it in a long while. Also I enjoy Black and Blue quite a bit - Melody gets tiresome, though. For some reason I always like the record gate fold (both the outside and inside picture). Plus I always thought the below was cool.
