I haven't gotten around to download the Brussels set, yet. Definitely looking forward to it. I didn't think Richards was too tough on Jagger or at least any tougher than he has in the past.

Thanks, Rob.

What's the call letters?

I saw the 78 Texas show in the theaters last month - great, great show. I think I liked it better than Ladies and Gentleman. Having Wyman back in the fold would be great, but I don't think it's gonna happen, but who knows.

I prefer a physical format, but with bootlegs like The Brussels Affair which is so widely available, I could see why they would go with the downloads. No point of putting money into packaging. There is a video of Keith and Mick talking about the show - didn't realize Keith's completely gray, now - it's a good look.

I had to borrow my mom and dad's car yesterday and when I turned the car on, the radio was on 93.9 Lite FM - Chicago's All Christmas Music Station (at least during this time of year). Gotta love my mom......luckily (in this instance) my dad is pretty much deaf.

Wow, that would be a nice night of music. Tapes are up on Dime - I haven't listened to them, though. Hopefully Smith will put out a DVD of sorts.

I wonder if some of the Ed Sullivan' sets have been saved and they reused it? Regardless, great performance.

For some reason I thought of Steely Dan, too. The Cure were/are huge in the Chicago area. It seemed like everyone in my high school during the mid-eighties were fans.

That was pretty cool.

My mom and dad read it - I always get a kick out it when they point out a panel to me. The comic makes them laugh, so it's good in my book. from the AP

I didn't see the video, but I agree with you SirStew, he definitely needs to go and I have mixed emotions how his legacy should be played out. I wonder how much actual "game time" coaching Paterno's has done this year. Every game I have watched he seems to just watching it up in the booth with out any headphones or anything - I realize he has health issue that prevent him to be on the side line - but at least put on set of head phones. Below is Rick Telander's view. Obviously, he has been a critic of the "big business" of NCAA sports. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/8697102-419/penn

This guy is definitely is a hipster.

I wonder if they are going to put ivy on the wall when they play Wrigley?

That's great - enjoy the show.

There is a (Jackson) Park District lot directly south of the Museum of Science and Industry - it is a short walk to the museum. It's a $1 an hour (it use to be free...) Bring your boots and walk around Jackson Park. Osaka Gardens is a five minute walk from the lot - it's nice, even in the winter. The Around the World at the Museum is okay. I must admit I was slightly disappointed. It's worth a visit, though. Haven't checked out the Dr. Seuss exhibit, yet. My wife and kid are planning to go tomorrow (It's a free day - Oct. 31st). If they make it, I let you know how they thought it was. We al

I never got into Matthews' music, but I give him a pass - respect his intial "grassroots approach" to stardom - of course when he got there.....

90's were good - though I could have done without the Spin Doctors (more importantly I wish WXRT would drop them from their current playlist)

That gave me a good laugh. Wow.

Not a big fan of limited editions. I did receive the Almanac via email yesterday - it looked prett cool. Still kinda like the paper format through the mai, though.

Bromberg showed up and played a surprise short opening set before a Dylan show and sat in on two in 1997 at the Metro. At the time I did not know much about him. It was cool to see, lots a people around me were very excited. One of the few shows I was at that a rumor was floating around on the floor about a surprise guest. When a roadie brought out a mic stand and Dylan's band came out without Dylan, the crowd started to go a little nuts and out came Bromberg. Must admit, I still haven't gotten around to purchase any of Bromberg's stuff.

Sundown is one of the earliest songs I remember growing up.

Good read - I thought I heard about the Bragg thing before, too, but like Beltmann I don't recall where. McGurk's
