My brother and I grabbed 3rd row tickets for his show next month at UIC. It will be about 5 years to the date of the upcoming show since I saw him last. UIC is not the best place for a show --- but hopefully being that close that sound of the venue won't hinder it, too much. Just re-watched that above "Can't Wait" --- hopefully he is still playing that rendition.

I think Nicks gave them the whole 'it's me or Lindsey' ultimatum.

While looking through my old records, I still have my older sister's copy of the below. Still have not spun it, yet.

Jeff Tweedy looked like a sort of Chicago rocker variant of a garden gnome, That's pretty funny...

Yeah, I read up on Xolo's before we got him, definitely an interesting breed, esp. from a historical perspective. They were not exactly sure about which other breed he is mixed with -- definitely looks like it may have a a bit of pit or other terrier in it - has a brown-spotted chest and paws. He is about 41 pounds and about 18 - 20 inches tall. Great temperament, thus far, especially with my kids and all the visitors we have had, with the exception of my dad, who has to carry an small oxygen tank - the dog was afraid of the tank and did not particularly care for it. Definitely needs a

In the late 80's, record companies in general did great marketing of 60's bands in general with the Freedom Rock commercials. Guessing they were piggybacking off the resurgence of the Grateful Dead's 87 Touch of Grey hit.

Of course, Eddie will destroy most of the entire world's band's marketing out of the water.... (Maiden has been great at it from the start)

I always thought Zeppelin did a great job with their Swan Song and blimp logos. --- I had few similar buttons on my Van Halen hat in the early 80s. And all the 'cool people' or at least the rest of the burnouts always knew who the four symbols represented.

Crap, you should let me know when you dip down and I could grab them. I will check to see, if by chance if I did grab those.

Bought a dog from the local shelter --- the kids have been hounding us for a year or so. A one year old Xoloitzuinti mix - a fine layer of hair on it, definitely will need to get it a coat for him come fall, though. A pretty cool looking dog I must say. So far it's been great with the kids.

MacDougall was part of As the Crowe Flies, too.

I really don't know all the details - I am sure they are out there, though. But when MacDougall was booted out or left, I just figured the band days were numbered. I think they did two more tours afterwards and then Robinson announced the hiatus. Perhaps the term 'imploded' is not accurate. I just couldn't see Casal being too happy or comfortable playing in the band without MacDougall, since he was still playing him in the Circles band. I think a woman was involved it all this - but again I haven't follow any of it.

I am guessing the brothers will have to do something together sooner than later. Maybe they will back as duo and call themselves just the Crowes. I can see them doing well in 2000-4000 seated theaters. Or they can go out as trio with Ford. Of course, Ford will have to be fine with taking 10-15% of the cut or just be paid a flat rate per show.

Been listening to a lot of Casal since he passed away -- I don't think I have listened to this one since a day or two after it popped up on etree --- a very solid first show, for sure. Still completely bummed about how CRB imploded at the end and then with Casal's death makes it even more so...

Man o man --- watching him play guitar, he made it seem so effortless -- such a wonderful player.

No lyrics, but Miles Davis named check people in song titles --- Willie Nelson, Billy Preston, Mr. Pastorius - he also used boxer's names - Ali and Sugar Ray

Plus one can take one letter from each song and it will read: NebraskaTwo ---- pretty wild,crazy stuff....

Fuck that - go after 'em...

For what its worth, I have a friend who says he has the best workouts after he has a small glass of whiskey on ice.

Maybe Gray will bring it up with his discussion with Tim Daisy at the below show later on this month. I think they typically stream these shows. https://ess.org/esscalendar/option-daringray

Yeah - have always enjoyed seeing that Iommi pic.

Now, I have that Rocky/Mr. T bout in my head. I had both debates in the background -- way too many people for me to get into it, though. Sanders and Biden just need to step aside and I agree about Warren, she seems the most cogent and so far and I think she will be great up against Trump, I am in her corner -- none of the others are cutting through all the noise that is being created by the people in the ring.

Does a June 17th 1991 Grateful Dead concert at a movie theater count??? also enjoy the Stones show!

Definitely not abbreviated --- I just brought it up because the whole logistic angle of filing in and out between shows was brought up. Both shows were indeed great. A friend was able to tape the 1st show, but got nabbed during the 2nd - they just took the dat -- they even let him stay for the remainder of the show, if I remember correctly. I think the Park West shows were announced a very shortly before the actual shows. The Park West shows were on 10/26/99 -- he was back in town, after playing 3 more shows elsewhere, on the 31st at UIC, where he played with Phil at UIC. I remember a bit u

Yeah, I went to an early and late Bob Dylan show once at the Park West in Chicago - it was a bit of a cluster-fuck. I did have friends who were only going to the late show, so they had been in line for a bit -- I did slide right into their spot as I was getting out of the early show, so in hindsight, perhaps I was part of the cluster creation. (Dylan did announce both shows at the same time though, unlike Garcia.)
