In McNally's book A Long Strange Trip, he writes that Keith listened/knew of the Dead prior to joining. The band did give him a bunch of tapes to get him more familiar with their music, but I assume that is very common with a new additions. I do seem to remember reading that he was not familiar with the Dead's music, too. Perhaps getting the tapes from the band brought on this assumption amongst people.

Below is a link of some suggestions of Wilco shows with Bennett in the band. The last Lounge Ax show is great (though a bit sloppy), as mentioned in the below link. http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/40180-bennetts-best-shows/page__p__1336368entry1336368 Lounge Ax Show http://wilcobase.com/event.php?event_key=159

Glad you guys enjoyed the show. That second set looks good, I don't think I ever heard that show before. Perhaps I need to give DSO another shot. I saw a picture of crowd over at the DSO page - it definitely looked like it was packed.

I noticed in the (Umm...) Bobblehead thread that you saw DSO. How did you like the show?

How about a petition for putting out the DVD? I suppose a lp would be nice, too...

Does "Sara" by Dylan count? Its the first song that popped into my head.

Monday was better. Those different songs that hwllo listed were all great to hear, esp. Kamera and Seeds. Tweedy's bit with their latest release and then he pulls out the vinyl for A.M. was pretty funny, too. Not to mentioned Box Full of Letters, Casino Queen, and Passenger Side. I thought the place sounded fine (I was center about 20-30 feet back for both nights.) The keyboards seemed a bit louder last night. I liked Tweedy's take on the empty seats, too, he seemed to take it in all in stride. It should be interesting to see if they try to book two arena shows again... Lastly, I agree w

Yeah it is pretty normal. The last two pages listing all his equipment and guitars are great. Thanks for the link.

Anybody know when the doors open? Thanks.

Has anyone seen the Dead while the Godchaux's was still playing with them? I didn't start seeing them until 89. And unfortunately I only caught them when they came to Chicago area --- didn't even make to a Deer Creek show, which still kills me. At least I caught the last show of the '89 Alpine run (which was my first) and Brent's and Jerry's last show, but neither of their last shows were much to write home about. The first Soldier Field show was decent enough and obviously the Alpine show was great. I always had fun and enjoyed the Chicagoland shows, but I must admit I do not revisi

One of my favorites from the 90's, too. However during the 90's I did not like them. I bought Bandwagonesque when it came out and wasn't a huge fan and promptly traded it for another a CD. Flash foward to 2005 or so and bought all there discs in one swoop and listened to them regularly. I guess that why I suck a these types of threads, I am always a decade behind.

On the XM feed, the DJ's interviewed Wilson and she talked about how her next album was going to be the "first female southern rock album". It is going to be released on her own 'Redneck Records' label. She genuinely seemed surprise that 'Redneck Records' was not already taken. Anyway perhaps she will have more control of what she is putting out. Half my family members are fans, can't say I am, though.

That's probably because Sunshine was in attendance...she was setting off bad vibes. Did really go to the bathroom when they started the tune????

I tend to agree with the above. Donovan, from what I remember, seemed like shy kid who was in awe of Dylan. But throughout the whole film, Dylan comes of as a pompous ass...god love em. I have never gotten into Donovan, the stuff I hear on the radio seems a bit fluffy to me. I haven't delved too deep into his catalog,though.

I don't think LouieB was dismissing the material. I just think he was informing Coltrane newbies that this might not be the place to start. I do like Rollins' quote, though. LouieB Posted 09 October 2009 - 05:25 PM

Someone posted some of the Destroyer Studio Sessions up at Hunger City. Does anyone know if they really wore their make up in the studio? Or was this for a photo op.

When I was ten years old (or so)I traded with my cousin my copies of Dynasty and Rock and Roll Over for his Rolling Stones' Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass). I don't think I ever topped that trade. I just noticed on allmusic that Anton Fig did most of the drumming on Dynasty. And for the life of me I don't remember how Kiss's cover of 2000 Man was - I did not even remember that song being on the album. I do like this cover, though.

That would be great. Only saw them once at a Lollapalooza, the year they broke up. Wished I would saw them at a club.

I never heard about this: I am not familiar with "Work Hard, Play Harder". But isn't "Jealous Again" kinda copied off any Stones song...

Someone posted photo's and a review over at iorr.org. (click on Tell Me)

Did John forget to pack his plaid shirt? I thought the Wilson comment was fine. I was kinda hoping that he would say something about the whole redneck thing. It's nice to see that Tweedy still has the "rock and roll" attitude to start some shit. He did say "with all due respect"...
