This particular copy has illustrations. (see very bottom of cover) Perhaps that the reason. larger pic below http://www.qbbooks.com/pictures/33984.JPG

There are quite a few torrants of Isbell/Earle recent shows popping up here: http://bt.etree.org/index.php

I am assuming the building/laying of these dedicated tracks are part of the package. At least in Illinois, I believe the new track will run along I55 corridor.

Are you implying something here?

I don't see why they couldn't go all the way to New Orleans, eventually. There is a route from Chicago to there already.

I believe Obama can do that too.

Thanks.

Thanks for the pics, the one with Nels is great. Not to be a building nerd, but do you know what the other building is in this pic? I really need to get back to Milwaukee some day.

I suppose Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, for that matter, can be considered a suite. Is a suite different from a concept album. From Webster's Plus Sonny Rollins' Freedom Suite

I kinda like the Built To Last songs as bookend to the sets. I'm assuming the Dead work up a set list before each show these days(?)

They don't even offer a discount on the pre-orders, which is fine, but I don't see the point of pre-ordering.

Yeah he is definitely earning his pay, perhaps the Dead can spring for a "body man" to watch his stuff while he is dancing. Of course, Lemieux is not going to be (at least he hasn't thus far) too critical of the band's performances, but there are plenty of other outlets for that on the web.

I'm not sure if people here are following David Lemieux reports from the road on dead.net, but it seems someone tried to steal his laptop. His reports have been fun to read. It seems he is updating his blog during the show, which is kinda nice. I wonder if the person knew who's laptop he was stealing. http://www.dead.net/4-15-john-paul-jones-arena

Another installment of the Flanaghan interview. Below is from: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/15/b...r_n_187216.html

The Friday before 4th of July weekend. I think a few people may looking into travel plans and checking into the possiblity of reserving a few near by camp sites.

This was brought up in the Dead thread earlier today. Over on a Dylan board, they are angry. I never understood the hate that some Dylan fans have for the Dead. I think it's pretty exciting news.

I have not bought a ticket from reseller, either. Ticketstub and Ticketsnow I have heard advertise on the radio (which may not mean much). I haven't heard of ticketsReview.

I'm sure the cost of internet resale tickets will come down closer to the show date if they are still available. Right now I only have a ticket for Monday, I may/should have one for Tuesday, but that is still up in the air. So I have been looking at the prices and wondering if I should pull the trigger and just buy a Tuesday ticket, too.

I have only listened to most of the first set. I thought it sounded pretty good. Enough to get me excited about the Chicago dates,agian. It's weird, my excitement level has been up down since they announced the tour. It's good it's on the upswing again. Plus I heard from friends, that I haven't heard from in a while, and they are going to the show, so it will be nice to get together with them again for a Dead show.

Wow, the Hunter news is pretty cool. With regards to Tipper, I believe she just wanted a sticker on a album. I don't know if that is censorship. I am not here defending her, though. Just bringing up a point. I have not listened to her "performance" from last night, yet, so I don't have an opinion her drumming abilities. It's great they got to go to the White House.

Even though the mug may be filled with Pabst (no offense towards the Theater or Pabst lovers out there) And Lou, John seems to be getting a little thin on top. (referring to the Spector thread)

Those prices are ridicules. I was lucky enough to purchase it when it went on sale up on dead.net. It is a limited edition, so obtaining ripped versions only hurts re-sellers, not the Dead organization (my opinion of course). It's a great set of music, but man those prices...

Yeah, he is off to a great start, right where he left off before his injury last year. Today was a bit ugly (Floyd's pitching) but they won and this is pretty cool, too.

Does this make Wilco a Milwaukee band? I am really confused, now.
