I was only fortune enough to see Elvin play at the 2003 Chicago Jazz Fest, I don't think he was a hundred percent and the performance was bit underwhelming, but I extremely grateful for being there.

Well I not surprised the Monroe incident got so "much play" - though I understand where you are coming from. Do you know if all three of them (Thad, Elvin, and Hank) play ever play on one session. I suppose I can look it up...

Yeah, I meant to bring this up in the Jazz thread - I don't have many sessions with Jones on them. I was however listening to the Kenny Dorham led session (Jazz Contrasts) off the Sonny Rollin's The Freelance Years that Sunday morning before I heard that he died - he was playing in those sessions. It is amazing the amount of talent that came from that family. A little tidbit that I read after his passing:

I agree. Heaven and Hell sounds a lot more like a Sabbath album than Mob Rules does. Until last week, I never own either one, thus I haven't listened to them in a long while. I was surprised how different Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules sound. Mob Rules is good, but Heaven and Hell is definitely better.

My first intro to Black Sabbath was Live Evil - It was around 84 and I was in 6th grade. That record didn't make me delve into the Sabbath albums, but albums with Dio. I bought an 8 track of Rising(Rainbow), than Long, Live Rock on record. Finally I bought Elf's Trying to Burn the Sun. Anyway he one the first members of any band that I ever looked into his or hers discography. And I never minded him singing Ozzy' songs.

The Dio report was going back and forth as rumor/hoax/fact all morning. I was hoping it was remain a hoax. I just bought the Deluxe issues of Sabbath's Heaven and Hell and The Mob Rules last week and have been listening to them the last couple of days.

Taking the Green Line (CTA) can give you good perspective of the South Side. At times I walk up to the 51st stop and take it downtown. I believe it runs down to 63rd Street. Up on the elevated train, you can see all the empty lots. Depressing as all hell. But you also get to see some of the new buildings that was happening before this recent economic mess.

That's pretty much the heart of the Gold Coast and North end of the Magnificent Mile, meaning it's probably the safest part of the city with regards to a police presence. But as with all large cities, pay attention your immediate surroundings. It's pretty crowded through-out the whole day/night.

Once I was sitting in traffic on the Ryan and all of sudden a lit cigarette appeared on my lap - the idiot next to me obliviously tossed it out their window. When they do a clean up on the Lake Michigan beaches, the amount of butts is staggering.

That's cool - thanks.

Was The Last Time the Stones song?

Have you heard any of this - This has some spectacular versions of Stones songs :

I think that was best cover all week .

No she isn't.

Today's Wilco HQ email states the same:

This (CNN link) reminded me of this thread.

You should check the Urban out, just for the hell of it at least. At this point in The Stones career - I don't think they give Dice much justice in a live setting; Urban at least had fun with it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsPVNPYyQcQ&feature=related Well this certainly has the dirt, perhaps a little sex, but not much groove. It's okay though. Is this version from their Exile release? and thanks for the link, Tinnitus.

I'm not sure I would consider Shine a Light a blues song - maybe more so a gospel song.

Is the Pussy Galore version of Exile available? I realize it was just release on a cassette, right?

Jazz Aspen Snowmass Link Looks like it should be a hell of weekend. and now the pitch...

Like the tune - don't mind hearing it at pretty much every show, it stills makes my booty shake all the same.

Keith Urban's version of Tumbling Dice - really liked this version. Pretty straight forward but Urban (and band) played great and seemed "into" it. Nice to see Chuck Leavell. I like the low opening notes to Urban's guitar solo. Shout out to Nashville was appropriate, too.

Green Day's version of Rip This Joint - I thought it was good. Taj Mahal's version of Shine a Light - didn't work for me (did like the outro guitar solo)

All the above is correct - Richards did say that.
