See, just what I wrote, Reed is the one of the most generous and likable songwriter out there!

I do believe that is Lou singing in that commercial, right? So I don't see the correlation of having his song in a commercial and Susan Boyle singing it on a TV show. I don't think Lou particular appreciates Boyle's singing/performance of the song, thus he doesn't want her to perform it on the air. Is it a dickish thing to do, sure. But he is Lou Reed.

Finally, White Sox gain a game. Good win tonight.

Well, this board has been pretty dead lately, a "stimulus" post is indeed in order?

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. "Not Now John" and a few bomb sound effects may jolt you back awake, but I always found the album relaxing.

LouFest organizers did not allow taping. Of course, someone might of sneaked it in. I did not notice anyone, though. It would have been a great show to tape - the crowd was perfect. If it pops up, it will be posted in the In a Future Age thread.

Appetite is a classic album. Afterward, they sucked.

I read that it was Steve, but then again I have read that it was other people; regardless some of it is pretty funny.

The Chicago crowd seemed to be taking a lot of pictures. But I must admit, while being some the most drunk and esp. stoned fans that I have been around in a long, long time, the crowd was great. They only conversations I heard around me was regarding the show itself, like "what a awesome solo, man" and "that was great, man." I kinda think I was the only one who was sitting in the location that was on my ticket. Everyone seemed to be going from seat to seat. It was a pretty much a free for all.

That's for sure.

He did the same thing in St. Louis. I caught Tweedy down there on Sunday, I should have planned better and caught the Crowes on Friday. Another nice recording.

I saw them open up for the Stones in Chicago in 1999. At the time, I thought the Goo Goo's were a bit drunk or something - they were not very good. I have seen the Stones play better than they did that night, though. I remember seeing the Goo Goo's play on Letterman and at the end of the song they jumped into a kiddie pool filled with something - that's was pretty fun.

The set list order was: 1. Sunken Treasure 2. Remember The Mountainbed 3. One Wing 4. Muzzle Of Bees 5. IATTBYH 6. Lost Love 7. New Madrid 8. Airline To Heaven 9. When The Roses Bloom Again 10. The Ruling Class 11. Jesus, Etc. 12. Via Chicago 13. Spiders 14. Hummingbird 15. So Much Wine 16. Passenger Side 17. Casino Queen 18. Misunderstood 19. I'm The Man Who Loves You 20. A Shot in the Arm The crowd was great, esp. for a festival crowd. I was about 10 feet in front of the soundboard and everyone was pretty quiet throughout the whole show. One funny bit of banter that Muzzle of Dan didn

Dave Hoekstra has nice write up in the Chicago Sun-Times

Yeah, I was in high school during the time it aired. Like I good catholic school kid, I must have already been in bed. Damn school. Though I must admit, my musical palate was not as varied back than. Hopefully they will put it out on DVD someday.

For the life of me, I don't remember this show. Which is a bummer, because the lineup's looked great. PopTodd - This was aired in the Chicagoland area?

I guess Zeppelin's policy of kicking the shit out bootleggers has laxed a bit. There is a bunch on their site.

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.
