  1. Yeah - never saw a solo Betts show -- if he passes through Chicago - I may catch it. It has been a long, long while since I seen him play.
  2. The Thoughts on the Dead blog had a funny post about the Phil and Bobby tour. http://thoughtsonthedead.com/marching-two-by-two/
  3. Ha! I was hoping that tickets were not going to be too pricey. $79.50 - $159.50 for the Chicago shows - that is a bit of a bummer. Listening to 12/12/80 show this a.m. - don't think I ever listened to this one before - pretty hot show.
  4. It is pretty cool that Bobby is able to keep a toe in each pond. Definitely will try for Chicago show. https://www.relix.com/news/detail/bob_weir_and_phil_lesh_announce_first_ever_duo_tour_in_2018
  5. Thanks - looks like I should have ventured out.
  6. Watched Logan Lucky last night - we definitely enjoyed it, too. Great cast. Definitely sets itself up nicely for a squeal.
  7. It's politics -- it's the same reason that most D's didn't go after Clinton and others. Politics is about the end game - it may mean supporting an accused 'sexual predator' to get there or to force Franken to resign because it is politically conducive to do so - same with the Conyers' resignation. We'll see how it plays out in 2018. I use to be one who supported the who one best served my views - if that person has a better chance of getting to where I think the country should go - I would be with him or her, no matter what their flaws may be - I think I may be changing my perspective on
  8. Enjoy - was hoping to catch it, but it ain't gonna happen. I still haven't seen a show at Elastic's new location and they move back in early 2015. Let us know how the show was - if you don't mind.
  9. Found the below via Politico --- guessing the R's knew that Franken will call the R's out as he fell on his own sword. Franken's career and Minnesota will be fine. As KevinG said, Keith Ellison would be a great replacement. Regarding Franken's resignation speech.
  10. It is a great set - the band sounds great and Dylan never sang better. I haven't gotten through the whole DVD that came with the set yet - Michael Shannon recites the sermons that Dylan gave throughout the tour - found it a bit weird.
  11. Who's fighting and what for?! Always enjoyed the footage from Muscle Shoals -- wish they would have made a whole documentary of those sessions. Stones hanging in Alabama in 1969 - what a concept. I didn't realize the sessions were so close to the Altamont dates. From hanging in Alabama (and two days later) to Altamont - only in America. Listening to 12/6/73 tonight
  12. Last night , my wife was part of postcard writing campaign to get the D voters out to vote in Alabama to defeat Moore -- definitely need to keep at it with elections - with all these distractions going on - elections still matter the most. This whole Jerusalem stuff is probably going to make things a lot more hairy.
  13. Caught the Austin Saturday webcast - beside a Minglewood clunker, I thought the show was solid. Esp. the 2nd set. 1st set had Oteil singing If I Had the World to Give - which was nice to hear. Set 2China Cat Sunflower I Know You Rider Dark Star The Other One Drums Space Uncle John's Band St. Stephen Morning Dew ENCOREOne More Saturday Night
  14. We put up our crap yesterday yesterday - my 8 year old had a blast on Spotify - we must have heard 50 versions of Jingle Bells, from every musical genre -- it appears that he ready for a rave - he enjoyed the house/techno versions the best - followed by the heavy metal versions. We always start our decoration day with Dylan's record. We listened to a Beach Boy one, too. I tried getting through some the Beatles Christmas stuff - via YouTube - but my kid wanted me to turn it off.
  15. Well technically the thread title is 'New Yo La Tengo!' In this case - new tour. Thalia Hall has become my favorite Chicago venue - so probably will catch one of the shows. Only saw Yo La Tengo in a festival setting or as an opening act - would like to see a full headline show performance.
  16. Yeah - the new one is not so good.
  17. Is there a link to this site, yet? I guess I have been following any of this. Is it the neilyoungarchives.com site? (his site has always bugged me - too cumbersome. Thrasher Wheat isn't any better)
  18. What's up with this 'new streaming deal'?
  19. Read that he is doing a webcast tomorrow.
  20. Sure, both of them - too. Steve is probably my favorite character on the show.
  21. I am sucker for Winona - every role of hers deserves an award... I do think her performance in Season 2 was pretty great, though.
  22. That's been Winona's M.O. since Lucas --- I thought she stepped it up in Season 2 - perhaps because she seemed to have a larger role, this season. Bet she will get an Emmy nod.
  23. Must admit - the "poor man' s Don King" is a good line --- all unbelievably ridiculous though... I guess it isn't unbelievable - which in itself unbelievable.
  24. Haven't watched this in the a long while - great performance (Rolling Stones with Angus and Malcolm - (SARSfest, Toronto Rocks, 2003) ( I would be remiss if I didn't write "Charlie's good tonight, ain't he?" - man, does he kill on this) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hstVYSDwCfs&app=desktop
