That is why I had not drank Heineken in so long --- there were not many other options and it was tasty and more importantly - free and not skunky. I can wait another 25 years to have it again, though.

Speaking of Lesh - I had a few Heineken's last night at a work function - has to be well over 25 years since I had one - pretty tasty.

I ordered it via the JGB website - it's out for delivery, but I have not gotten it, yet.

Pretty sure that house is at 2123 W. Thomas in Chicago. Guess it could have been Bennett's place - his studio Pieholden Suite Sound was about 5 blocks south of this house.

I did take advantage of the sale on the LP - look forward to hearing it on LP. They might just want to move out the old inventory to make room for deluxe or just get people to buy it while it is on sale and then hope they will buy it again when the deluxe comes out...

Never realized that Tweedy uses a copy of Deadbase as springboard for his own tunes... Has any one spotted a copy in the Loft???? Bet he just leaves it in his study at home, so nobody pokes fun of him.

The echo during the 'nothings' was a nice touch --- and that set list I posted earlier was sure way off.

Yeah that would have been cool to see. I found the below a bit funny - apparently who ever sent the set list into setlist.com was not one of the seven jumping out of their skulls. Nice placement of Misunderstood, too.

I do find it humorous every time Cohen shakes his head after talking to a republican. Also it also seems like all the R's really want to get in the book agent business and they are angling for their first client. Of course Cohen is going to write a book.

Man - Phil lets it loose during the 10.25.85 Let it Grow.

Just found out that you can bid on records on Reverb - kinda fun. I am with you on it being better than Discogs - esp browsing the site.

I'll check out 85 next -- right at the end of the 3.24.70 show, you can hear firecrackers being set off. From the clarity of the sounds, they must have been set off on stage. Reminds me of the late 70's shows when the band asks the fans not to set off firecrackers in the crowd. Who the hell would think that is a fun or good idea. The Stones and Zeppelin had those issues, too - at least from I heard from boots.

I guess Floyd and Zeppelin played there, too. Actually quite a few others, too. I have that Johnny Winter record - never realized that it was recorded there. I wonder if Deep Purple and The Partridge Family were on the same bill. Rock music concerts[edit] In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Pirates World was the venue for several rock music concerts, playing host to such artists as Jeff Beck Group (1969), Led Zeppelin (1969),[7][8] Iron Butterfly (1970), The Faces (1970, 1971[8]), The Grateful Dead (1970), Traffic (1970), Black Sabbath (1971), Blood, Sweat, and Tears (1971), Deep Pu

Happen to be currently listening to a '70 show, but 3/24/70- Pirates World in Florida. Guess it was an amusement park. This show probably would have been an interesting experience. I guess they had a show on the 23rd at the same place, but no tapes exist. It's ok, nothing too special, though. The transition from Dark Start into The Other one is pretty great, though.

LouieB probably would be familiar with her - I am not, though. Great performance. Looks like she has a standing gig at Kingston Minds - a place I have only been to once, back in the late 90's.

Yeah -- these archival box-set releases are geared towards suckers like me.

There has been a lot of discussion/wishful thinking on the web about the 69 Ark run being the archival box set release this year - which would be great.

I wonder if WikiLeaks gets their hands on it, if they would release it.

Great to see Tortoise on the bill.

Great piece by Oteil. I need to dive into Kofi's music. For some, reason I have not spent much time with the Tedeschi Trucks Band, either. https://oteilburbridge.com/in-memory-of-my-big-brother/

Yeah, at first I didn't want the Sox to sign Machado, but then I wanted them to sign him. Oh well - it is a lot of dough. Go, White Sox!

So far I have just been hitting record stores -- my old neighbor hood has one - it was within walking distance, now it's about 1/2 hour drive without traffic. Been hitting the Reckless that is downtown (Chicago), too. Still have never hit Dusty Groove in Chicago - though I have friends who have been going there for many years and they always have great things to say about it. So far I with worldrecordplayer - I need to look and browse through records, esp used ones. Was happy when I bought a used copy of 1st Iron Maiden record this weekend and checked it out when I got it home, it was $

Just finished it up last night. I really enjoyed the last episode. Pretty cool concept for show. I wonder if there are talks of a 2nd season. Perhaps, they will go with a whole different set of characters and keep the same concept.

Love when shows pop up, after trips are booked and you a going to be in the area...Enjoy!

Talked about the whole Adams and 14 year girl thing, then said it was yet another example of a white musician doing something that black musician did first - then the showed a picture of R Kelly. It was pretty funny.
