Texas definitely has had a brutal summer - my wife has family in the Dallas area, haven't heard from them, I am assuming no news is good news...stay safe.

Standing O is a favorite of mine - perfect beginning and end of song.

Hell of a game between Baylor and TCU last night - nice way to start the college football season. Of course Notre Dame is already stinking up the joint in the first half - interesting weather related delay, but I am sure the State of Indiana is still reeling from the State Fair and rightly so. Today's weather moving through the stadium did look pretty bad.

http://consequenceof...s-wasted-years/ (consequence of sound.net) Adams covering Iron Maiden's Wasted Years. Not a big fan of this cover. Interesting choice, though.

For those who have XM, the Pearl Jam station will be broadcasting from Alpine - not sure how much of the concerts will be broadcasted live, though.

I have a one-pin acoustic, does it come with a "gulley hook" to go around the headstock above the nut?

Would the strap work on an acoustic?

It was a typo. I saw it

Nah - I did say that too, but I didn't think it was funny.

Thanks for the link.

Hey, hey a show where I was at. My first show where I saw them inside. I had seats that where more less towards the side of the stage and a bit up, a great vantage point to watch Hart and Kreutzman. This run is when Healy was canned - there was a chant of "Turn it up" either at this show or the next one.

The above is the comments on the YouTube video of Leave Me Like You Found Me - I just thought it was funny. The song is not one of my favorites.

There are rattle snakes in Southern Illinois. The above looks pretty cool and mad. There are timbers in Southern Illinois. They are on the endangered list.

The Europe set has white "smooth" card board sleeves rather than the brown "rough" sleeves of the Road Trip series.

1 hard cover book and 1 soft cover book came in the set - each show is in its own cardboard gate-fold case with liner notes on each case, they are written on the case itself, no booklet. At first glance I am happy with it - haven't listened to any of it yet. I think I am going to be a dork and listened to each show in order.

Did a quick count and came up with 73 - I could have counted wrong.

Got my Europe set today.

The 6 songs uploaded are pretty great. It's a bit interesting that this thread was bumped a few days before the release of these songs.

Wilco opening for REM - 1999 and 2003. Opened with a great Kicking Television in 2003. ani difranco opening for Dylan - 1997. She played a great version of Dylan's Most of the Time.

I guess a bunch of Nicky Hopkins' personal tapes has been released (from iorr)

I am saw them at a ball park in South Bend, IN last year and I did not notice that...that sucks. That would have been cool to see.

Today I will go with: 1. Summerteeth 2. Being There 3. A Ghost is Born 4. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 5. Sky Blue Sky 6. A.M. 7. Wilco (The Album)

I never did either. My brother in law has it and I listened to some of the extras - they were okay, though I think a few, if not all, of the Stones extras tracks were on the Gimme Shelter Criterion release. Another thing regarding the Exile release, as people stated in this thread, the DVD that came with the Super Deluxe was piece of crap for the most part - I streamed it on Netflix one afternoon - I am glad I did not spring for the Exile Super Deluxe edition.

I listened to it again this morning and the bonus disc does leave a lot to be desired and the vocals are the biggest culprit. I don't think it was a complete waste, though - I still like the music and the two "authentic" songs on the disc are good. I guess there is talk off a Some Girls deluxe edition, hopefully they will do better with that one, but I am not counting on it.

I guess I need to listened to the bonus disc, again. I don't remember hating it per-say, then again I have been known to be a Stones apologist.
