He doesn't look a day under 90 - god love 'em. Waiting to see the setlists before getting Chicago tickets -- want to see at least three new songs being played - the more the better. After multiple listens, I have come to really enjoy Hackney Diamonds.

Yeah, the Dvd i checked out does not have any interviews.

Checked out Live at Great Woods dvd from the library, a very nice, hot Jessica. Both Warren and Dickey have great solos. Gregg is nice and high in the mix, too. From 1991. I think I saw them for the first time in 92. They sure were a bad ass looking band in 91. Jaimoe's mohawk - Allen Woody and Haynes straight out goonsviles. Butch looking like a dweeb in backwards ball cap, though. Gregg looking cool as always. And of course, Dickey in hat covering his eye like an old western.

Great picture - Dickey Betts celebrating his 80th birthday. Didn't realize Dickey was in wheel chair.

I agree. Wonder what the reason is for lack of shows?

After a few listens to the Hackney Diamonds --- I am still trying to get past the production -- the drums, especially. I don't think Jordan is the issue, either -- just they way the drums were recorded. I glad the band got away from Don Was - but perhaps a picking a different producer would have been better. Oddly enough I am having issues with the sound of the latest Wilco, too. With each listen, I seem to be enjoying it more and more, though I am happen to have more issues with the Wilco one -- perhaps because I had higher hopes for Cousin.

All great choices - you weren't into Stones before that? It was "Harlem Shuffle" video that got you to investigate the Stones, right?

Today, for the 1st time since 1986, I bought a new Stones' release on vinyl. I never have buy multiply variations of a record --- of course I bought a Target one today and waiting on the White Sox and the Paul Smith version to come via the mail.

Nothin -- got to enter two tickets, then when I hit enter - I got the not available message

Chicago, you're formally invited to Wilco-ween! An end of tour celebration in honor of Wilco's 13th album Cousin. Pretty cool Tix link

You definitely would have noticed it by just pulling it out of the sleeve - guessing it isn't as heavy as the Floral Ice.

Yeah I was surprised when I opened the Floral Ice vinyl -- plays wonderfully, though.

Ha! The good old days...

How was it? Need to catch a flight, so I didn't see it. Would have been great to see them at Fitzgerald's.

Listening to the 12/31/73 Allman's show now --- glad people stopped lighting off firecrackers at shows. That would have drove me nuts. The Lost Live Dead had a great post on this New Year's Show. http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2012/12/december-31-1973-cow-palace-daly-city.html My take on why they never played together again after this date is probably due to the Dead's hiatus after 74 and drugs.

Just finished listening to the Dead's December 12, 1973 show from the Omni in Atlanta where Jerry wishes Dickie a happy birthday, before the band heads into Sugar Magnolia. Alan Paul mention's it in the book. Alan Paul also mentions the ABB December 31, 1973 New Year's show at the Cow's Palace -- the last time Garcia played with Betts on stage. Not sure if I have listened to the whole show - I guess the Dead crew dosed the Allmans.

Been reading Brothers and Sisters: The Allman Brothers Band and the Inside Story of the Album That Defined the '70s A decent read. The chapters on the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen were great. I am up to the point where Brothers and Sisters was released. It seems like Betts was an asshole in the 70s, too. His wife and kid was not part of the Brothers and Sisters gatefold because Betts was pissed at his wife and kicked them out for a bit.

Yeah I guess. But man, I would have read that as two completely different sets -- otherwise why even put it on the webpage.

Yeah I can see your beef. The venue page stated as such. Wonder where the disconnect came from: the promotor, venue's webpage, and/or Wilco. https://www.tivolivredenburg.nl/agenda/wilco-27-08-2023/ (I had to google translate it to English)

How was the show?

Marc Ford --- playing with The Steepwater Band at Fitzgerald's.

Tweedy using a vocoder may be interesting (or maybe not). I don't think he used one before.

Yeah - I saw that and was happy. Yesterday, I happen to check out John Grant's - A Boy from Michigan cd from my library. Not at all familiar with him until I watched an old video of him performing "GMF" with Sinéad O'Connor, last week. After seeing that I decided check some of his stuff. While reading the liner notes for A Boy from Michigan, I noticed that Cate Le Bon produced it and Euan Hinshelwood plays saxophone on a few of tunes, too. (Hinshelwood is the one credited on Cousins)

How was the show? According to the below - it seems like it was great night. Bromberg / Hiatt / Tweedy --- pretty good. Below is a review from Relix. Relix

Noticed the below is now streaming: MAR 16, 2002 All Tomorrow's Parties - Royce Hall Los Angeles, CA I noticed it before the official email, which I just got. Feel like it's another scoop by the VC - ha! Who needs that dumb FB page! *just kidding of course - still haven't done the whole FB thing - fads come and go, I tell ya - just wait....
