  1. Well that's good - I thought that maybe Twin Peaks fans really hate Wilco or something.
  2. Crazy -- below is from Sun-times Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy’s Northwest Side house hit by gunfire Gunshots awoke the Tweedy family shortly after 2 a.m. Tuesday, Tweedy’s wife, Susan Miller Tweedy, said in a Facebook post.

  3. Yeah 25x5 is good one. I still have Rewind on VHS -- that was a fun one -- the setting was a museum with Jagger and Wyman. Speaking of Wyman, I did watch Wyman latest doc - The Quite One a couple of nights ago -- well worth the time, some pretty cool footage. I watched it via Hulu - not sure if it streaming elsewhere.
  4. My library is bringing in Cohen's book in for me today - which should be a nice easy read while visiting the in-laws over the Thanksgiving weekend. I guess it's entirely possible that the band were in their hotels by 9 pm -- I know the wanted to wait for the sun to go down before they played and since the show was in December I guessing the sun set by 5 pm or so.
  5. I always assumed it was because the Hell Angels had access to good drugs ---- the Dead has always seemed to have a good relationship with them, I guess they shared their 'outlaw' spirit. I know I checked Cohen's book out from the library, but I can't remember if I read it.
  6. I remember it being in a 'Midwest Rockers' type wing. I was kinda surprise to see the stuff there, too -- this was back in 2012, when I went there to see the Grateful Dead exhibit that was there at the time.
  7. I saw them play two nights at the UIC pavilion,---- I think Margherita billed it as 'The Great 2009 Chicago Arena Tour' to insure induction into the hall ---- does that count? side note, I bought the night two poster last week during Wilco's sale for $5. They didn't have night one available.
  8. I hope all the members get in - but I think the hall actually does the picking and for some reason I don't think those past members will get the nod, guessing Tweedy will have some influence, though. I am guessing Leroy will get in because he was the two above records and those two were successful, award and sales wise.
  9. When they ever get into the hall, I am guessing, beside the current members, only Ken and Leroy will be part of it and maybe not even those two. But who knows. It would be a real shame if Leroy was not involved.
  10. Almost won tickets to the Weir show today from XRT -- was caller 6 - they wanted 10.
  11. Guessing ashes are mentioned, right? Ha!
  12. Finally listened to Colorado via the library - not bad.
  13. I really enjoyed the 2nd night at the Chicago Theatre last year --- that being said, I can skip this time around. It was great just seeing a trio up on stage - it helped that I had great seats and the crowd around me was great. Security let a lot things slide, which was a bit odd for the venue. I think the tape holds up, too.
  14. Below is the Chicago Theatre seating chart. I would stay in the triple and double letter range. The booths and mezzanine levels are nice, too. Great place to see a show. https://www.theatreinchicago.com/seating.php?theatreid=103
  15. Pete is talked about a lot --- tough gig, being a manager of the Crowes and Roth...wonder if he has any easy clients?
  16. I don't remember any Van Halen/Roth stories.
  17. Yeah I got the book from my library -- he does have some cool stories about the Stones and their time with Page and Plant.
  18. I about 3/4 through Gorman's book -- it is wonder that these two are back together, of course it is about money - but so it goes. I can see why Gorman is not involved, it seems like he has been quitting the band since the mid 90's. The book is entertaining enough -- basically on one page Gorman calls Chris and asshole, then calls Rich one on the next page, then back to Chris, back to Rich and on and on and on.
  19. A person on the Hoffman board shared the below Google drive link to all The Golden Road issues. They were always a good read back in the day. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1J76VacLm-GQ47pzXolTjaVZz4tKWea9q
  20. Yep - just on the 1st song, Things Have Changed. It was nice to see. Great, great performance, overall. Would recommend this tour if he passes through.
  21. After every comic book run - a stop at KFC, where he crotched the bucket and the heat from the chicken helped to deteriorate the seat ---- it's all coming together, now...
  22. I can't picture Garcia ever riding the below - but who knows. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25922/lot/350/?category=list&length=12&page=5
