is what looks like an "official" video of Comfortably Numb with Gilmour. Looks and sounds great.

Who knows who wrote it. At the end of the day I guess it doesn't matter, because your are right, Dylan did okay it. I would have left it alone. Fuck the people who were opposed.

Seeing them all drunk at the bar was pretty funny and Ron giving the young girl student a land mine cracked me up. Last week's Community was funnier than last night's, I didn't catch Office.

That release seems a bit odd - probably not needed. I didn't understand all the flack he was getting from some of the people in the press. Nice to get some background on the tour, though.

ABC link My dad smoked heavily for 60 years and quit about 4 years ago. He doesn't talk about it and I don't ask. All the nagging my mom gave him over the years, it amazed me that he kept smoking for so long (or continued to stick around - she was as relentless as the smoke wafting throughout our house.) It is great going over to my parents house and not having to smell like smoke when I leave. Good luck, Oceanman.

I looking forward to the little road trip from Chicago, I imagine it's a pretty nice drive. I was surprised to get great seats.

The Grateful Dead's Golden Road and Beyond Description box sets are great. Pavement reissues are great, though I did not have many of the originals so I can't compare them to the originals.

Thanks for the reminder - completely forgot. Got 10th row center. Should be a nice over night trip - never been up in that area before. Fitting WXRT just started to play You and I as am typing this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vuoo6Y16x0s&feature=player_embedded#at=142 Here is a clip of Jagger and Richards talking about Atlantic Records and Muscle Shoals. It has some of the footage that LouieB and I were talking about. Jagger's impersonation of Ahmet Ertegun is pretty funny. My older sister was/is a huge Bob Seger fan, I remember that Night Moves, Stranger in Town, and The Distance were played a shit load around the house when I was kid. I never realized that he recorded at Muscle Shoals before I went through the link that LouieB provide.

Yep, definitely.

I don't know what they did, I guess I need to check some of my Stones' books.

When I think of Muscle Shoals, I think of The Stones' songs Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. There is some great footage in the Gimme Shelter dvd of Muscle Shoals.

In the Dylan/Hunter Houston tune, there is the below line: The Mexican War was between 1846-48. Benson was county sheriff of Harris County, Texas, from Dec. 1918 to Jan. 1, 1937. This would make the Candyman character in his 80s, if he was at least 10 years old during the war, which is possible, I guess.

The line up:

Yeah I guess I should read the link...

That would be good.

The Truckin' Up to Buffalo is a great DVD/show, but some reason I'm not a big fan Crimson, White & Indigo: Philadelphia, July 7, 1989 release. The last 89 Alpine show was my first show, so I am bit partial to the Downhill from Here DVD, though only West LA, Desolation, and Deal are the only songs on it from the last night of the run. I do think those are the best songs on the DVD; I always wonder why they didn't show more of the last night on the DVD, since I thought it was the best of the three, but again that maybe because I was at the show.

I like Ozzie, too. His "act" does get old at times, but I think he is great manager. I don't think he will be fired during this year. The team has to turn it around at some point, right?????

I think this link is at the front of this thread but here is Grateful Dead releases by recording date from Deaddisc.com Quite a bit of 87, 89, and 90 shows/songs were officially released. Hardly any from 88.

I hear ya - terrible year thus far.

Ugh! for the White Sox.

In the cd packaging there is a great photo of Earle with John Henry sitting over the recording console. The kid is fiddling with the sliders and buttons. The DVD that came with the deluxe edition, though short, is pretty decent. Burnett is always shown while sitting on an overstuffed leather couch...he looks pretty funny - he doesn't have the best sitting posture .

The new Earle and the latest Mellencamp record are the only Burnett produced records I bought recently, so I guess I am not burned out, yet. Looking at Burnett's website, the only other one I have that he produced is the Counting Crowes' August record, which I bought when it came out - haven't listened to that one in ages.

Happy birthday and that's a great picture, Lamrod.
