Definitely worthwhile to see.

Cd's all the way through on a stereo. Shows, too - I try to make sure I have enough time to listen the entire show in one sitting.

Nice word choice, Jules - we all will have to abstain from lots of things if he gets elected. Santorum's rhetoric has been picking up steam; I am glad he is giving Romney a run for his money, though.

Does anyone have a favorite 2005 show. They have been popping up on Etree, but I haven't snagged any of them. Anyone have any suggestions?

I do have a Miller source - it looks like he used Healy's mix, so I guess I should be set - thanks. I am with you Vacant Horizon - a highlight set from 92-95 would be great. The So Many Roads set has some of the new songs on Disc 5, but an expanded set would be a nice edition. I wonder how it will sell, though. I don't think the "why don't they put out full shows" crowd would be too upset with a "highlight" set of 92-95 songs.

Do you know where the utlramix of the 4/15/90 show is still seeding at?

They released the 3/15/90 show on cd. It's still on sell over at dead.net - it's funny that they still call it a limited edition. It was released in 1997. Pricey set.

David Hoekstra has a nice piece on Out of the Past Records, 4407-09 W. Madison St. I no longer have a record player, so I never been to this place, but it sounds like it might be a worth while visit, for some. http://blogs.suntime...re_that_sp.html While in that part of town, definitely hit up the Garfield Park Conservatory - a nice place. http://www.garfield-conservatory.org/ The neighborhood may be a bit rough, just mind your surroundings.

Listening to the below show, now. I don't listened to the early 80's show as often as other era's, but this show is a good one. A nice write up appears in the Taper's book. Dwork mentioned the Railroad Blues and Playin as highlights - they definitely are. Listening to the Hunter's Trix matrix source. I tend to lean towards the 68-73 years. I guess my favorite year is 71 then it goes 72/70/69/73/68. Of course, 77 and 89 are up there, too.

Sounds pretty good.

Above is a nicely written final paragraph.

I need to buy that Gear Book. I read it, but it would be a great book to have my shelf.

http://dozin.com/jer...tar/history.htm The above is a link about Jerry's guitar through the years. The 72 set has a great essay on the Nash guitar.

I think Ladies & Gentlemen is my go to collection.

I have tuning issues with my Les Paul (just a Studio) - perhaps it's a Gibson thing in general. I would love to play the SG. I am sure one of the stores in Chicago will get one in. I haven't been to a music store in quite a while, actually the last one was Rock N Roll Vintage Inc. up on the northside (in Chicago.) I think they filmed some of IATTBYH there. Beautiful store.

Sadly, only a Justin Roberts' show at the Old Town of Folk Music, next month --- parenthood...you gotta love it. He does put on a fun show, though.

That was the 1989 run. I never did get that box-set release.

People may want to avoid the city during the weekend of May 19-20, 2012 - the G8 Summit will be held here. It should be interesting, though.

I thought the Bird Song and Days Between were pretty good in the TRI set. Chimenti plays some really piano on Days Between - the song does lag towards the end of it, though. I made it to the Terrapin Station Reunion, too - fun weekend.

http://viachicago.org/topic/45872-jeff-tweedy-signature-sg/ There is a thread in the Solid State forum - great looking guitar.

I agree about Kimock being too low in the mix. I forgot how goofy Kenny Brooks is while he is on stage - his expressions always crack me up. Weir sounded good, too.

Yeah - that was the event that I was alluding to. It was fun: some drinks, a smoke, and let machines roll. I always used Maxell.

Steve Kimock and Mark Karen were on guitars. Sorry, I should have posted a link last night.

A taper friend of mine taped the 92 Compton shows, it was great to hear it when he came back to Chicago. I kind of miss those of days of waiting to hear a show, it was always a bit of an event. I been watching the Ratdog TRI show - the second set is pretty damn good.
