http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNNEPfdjPXo&feature=player_embedded Saw this posted on another board. Pretty cool stuff. Hopefully the whole show will show up, of course perhaps the whole show is already out there.* *Doesn't look like it, though.

Praise You was a great video. Just saw Sabotage again a last week and realized where Sir Stewart (from this board) got his display name from. I never really liked the Weezer video. The Beastie Boy's, Weezer, and Fatboy Slim are the only videos I remember in their top ten, though I didn't have cable throughout the 90's.

The Chicago show was great. Rich sang lead a lot more than I expected. I got downtown early to grab some dinner and I had Soul Singing in my head walking around the whole time - was happy when they opened with it. All four covers they did were great, too. The whole band sound very, very solid. It is fun watching Gorman play - man can he swing with the best of them. The first couple of songs in the first set he was just beating a bass drum that was set up on its side on the stage with two marching band mallets. Dickenson had plenty of awesome solos. The recording up on bt.etree is very good.

Yeah, Tyler is going to be a weird fit. It is strange the Tyler is going to do it in the first place - I am assuming he doesn't need the money, perhaps to expand his fan base. All the young MTV teenyboppers and pre-teens of the early nineties are in their thirties now; their kids will be watching the show. You would think that the show would want younger/hipper judges, anyway... The whole interview was great, I haven't took the time to listened to any of his other ones, I should do so. All the Chris interviews have been pretty interesting, too. I like their "wilderness" years, though, even

Steve's impersonation of Steven Tyler was great.

I guess it's the lyrics that bug me.

I just listened to it again on my way to renew my license. The horns could have been a little higher in the mix. I agree Horsehead is a bit of a clunker. To me it sounds like their most heavily Faces' influenced album. (and a bit Crowes (at least Chris) related - finally took Lesh's advice and became an organ donor. During the video on the Crowes site, I was a bit surprised to hear that only Chris really enjoys the Grateful Dead. I know a lot of the fans were upset when Lesh sat in with the band on one of there Filmore shows.

I always liked By Your Side, though I don't own the Tall/Band session Cd (I always borrow it) so I haven't listened to it as often as By Your Side. I will be heading to the Chicago show. Looking forward to it. The Black Crowes has been a band I say I am going to see when the pass through town, but never do. Haven't seen them since 94.

A couple of clips are up on Youtube of their latest performance. I think it sounds okay.

That's good to see.

That sounds like a Sat. Night Live bit. I guess the three core members are most comfortable playing the 80% thus they all picked those songs. - Did they say which songs they were. I guess if they had liner notes we would know, though I do like the packaging.

I thought it was the two brothers and Gorman.

Parts of the Thorn in my Pride off of Croweolgy reminds me of an old J. Geils' song - of course I can't remember the name of the J. Geils' song.

Really liking the new one, too. Chris' vocals are great and the whole CD is mixed great. Both discs are great, but I think the 2nd one is slightly better. She has always been one of favorite Parsons' songs and Morning Songs and Downtown Money Waster are both particularly good. Now I am really, really looking forward to the Chicago show. My brother reminded me a few days ago that we saw the Crowes when they opened up for Aerosmith in 1990, which I completely forgot about. Also the Tall Tales interviews that are on their site with Chris a good; they are a lot different from his interviews th

I will be heading down there with my wife and kid. Looking forward to Escovedo, too. Here is the link to LouFest.

It is a great version. The clip states Crossroads and Don' Think Twice are up on YouTube, also. From Bob's Links - Summer 1999 Tour Guide

Bummer that Potato Creek didn't work out. Glad you found a hotel in town.

I have no problems with the backup singers, either.

I like the songs that Rich sings lead on the Cabin Fever DVD/CD, though those are the only songs I heard him sing lead on, I think.

My wife and I brought our kid. We relaxed in the grass during Yo La Tengo and when Wilco hit the stage we went in front of the sound board, where there there was plenty of room. I had my kid (10 months old) in a front carrier and he fell asleep by the fifth song or so. The Peltor earmuffs seemed to worked great. Is was fun watching his eyelids flutter a bit when they shined the lights on the audience. Right when they started to play "Thank You Friends", he woke up with a loud scream ---I don't think he likes 11pm curfews, either. As for the show, great as usual. Really glad that they played

It was For the Turnstiles (Neil Young Cover.)

Those interviews should be a hoot.

Tonight in South Bend, Yo La Tengo played a great version of For the Turnstiles and mentioned the passing of Keith.

I was thinking the same thing, yesterday. I did notice on another site that they are going to release a five-LP boxed set. I don't have a record player, so I think I will be passing. Should sound great, though.

Thanks for the link. Does sound great. Should sound even better once it is officially released.
