I think the mono set sounds great. Haven't listened to Highway 61, yet. JWH and Freewheelin sounds great and the liner notes are very good. I guess there two slightly different sets being sold: some have replica sleeves for the first two titles and the Times cover is different. I got my from Borders, all the sleeve are white and the cover of Times is textured. To me it doesn't make a difference. Haven't received the Bootleg Series, yet. Should get it today or tomorrow.

Happy B-Day - Perfect timing for Dylan's Witmark Demos and Mono releases.

The Sainte-Chapelle is very interesting. It was built during the Gothic period and it is located on the same island on the Seine River that Notre Dame is on. The line was a bit long but not bad and very worth our time. Wiki Page Google Map Page

Songs not good enough for the album they are on

I wasn't particularly fond of It's That Simple until I saw them perform it during the Residency, but always enjoyed it more than I Thought I Held You. -
Just walk around with your copy of Self Portrait, I'm sure he will find you.

Love the soundtrack but I haven't gotten around to see the movie, yet. Almost every time my wife sees Dylan she says it's the last time - though, she keeps coming along quite often.

For those who deal torrents, someone uploaded the Roseland Ballroom, New York City SBD Recordings from 94, they sound great. Young and Springsteen sit in on a couple of the songs.

2010 MLB - Playoffs and hot stove!

It looks like the Rangers won 4 and lost 4 against the Yankees this season and they swept them in Sept. Should be a good series. Hoping for Rangers/Giants series. But I'm guessing TV executives are not. -
I enjoy Madonna's cd Music quite a bit.

I was kidding, as I was about Wilco not caring about black people, but Tweedy may indeed have bald spot.

http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/43819-needing-a-little-relationship-advice/page__hl__family When I saw Runaway Jim user name, I thought of the above thread. I could be wrong though.

I missed it because my little over a year old kid is still enjoying his birthday gifts.

As long as you do not ask for anymore relationship advice. Must admit that was one my favorite threads. I hope all is well. Welcome back. Which issue would like to discuss: The recent discovery that Wilco doesn't care about black people, Jeff has a bald spot, or Exile on Main Street is The Rolling Stones' worst album because its too long.

It is a great show, I only heard for the first time yesterday. -
Actually everyone seems pretty calm in this thread. I watched the show and I missed the line. The whole episode was pretty good.

I was just listening to an Evanston, IL show from Nov. 4, 1991 this morning. Dylan notes: One of my favorties songs of his. Love the riff in the tune. -
Actually I thought it sounded good at the Wings Stadium (surprisingly). I checked this morning and some seats on the main floor recently opened up for the Miller show. I was holding off because only balcony seats were available, before.

I don't think there is any opening act on this tour. I was going to take a road trip up to Kalamazoo but it doesn't look I am going to be able to swing it. IATTBYB, have you been in the Miller Auditorium; is it a nice venue? He is playing the Riviera Theatre here in Chicago on the 30th, but I have Halloween party that night.
-
I read that there was some type of silent film showing before the show, instead of music. Were you able to catch any of the movie?

I find the music TBS plays during the line-up announcements to be very annoying. -
Same here, which is a good thing. The Chicago show was a good one.

Also, I poorly worded the above response. I didn't mean Ruth and Mantle specifically would have taken the drugs, I meant that if the drugs were around during each of their eras, some players may have taken them. -

Well when faced with the argument of "the players back in my day would never have used anything to enhance their ability", I tend to roll my eyes. Some athletes want to be the best and they go about it which ever way the choose. During the late 90's/early 00's it was not against the rules to take the crap some were taking. I am not justifying it, because really there isn't anything to justify. Now it is against the rules, so any player found taking the stuff should be punished and they are. I don't think the frame of mind of athletes have change all that much since the Ancient Greek days - t
