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.

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.

Grabbed 2 for Chicago's Friday show.

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.

Yeah - the new one is not so good.

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)

What's up with this 'new streaming deal'?

Read that he is doing a webcast tomorrow.

Sure, both of them - too. Steve is probably my favorite character on the show.

I am sucker for Winona - every role of hers deserves an award... I do think her performance in Season 2 was pretty great, though.

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.

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.

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

Esp.,- since it more than likely be the same exact show, since she is using backing tracks, etc. --- I would see her any chance I would get, too. My wife and I will be at the Chicago show in Jan. I have a show from this tour (a live webcast that she did) on my hard drive - but we opted not to watch it, yet. My friend saw her last night in St. Louis - haven't heard how it went, though.

Compared to last year when I saw CRB at the same place (Thalia Hall) - this past weekend it did seem that the band had a bit of a chip on the shoulder - esp Casal -- I always enjoyed his playing, but this weekend -he was playing with much more emotion - taking center stage - doing the typical rock star guitarist stuff - which was great. Perhaps this is how he normally plays - but I don't I don't remember him playing like it last fall when I saw them. Not sure if this has any correlation with Magpie - but if it does - I hope it continues. A healthy competition is never a bad thing. I did ta

Saw the Chris Robinson Brotherhood again last night. It was another great show. Tight vocals. Adam was in the mix well and he didn't over play. Casal played a lot more Telecaster - more than I expected and he was great through out - real great. Chris was pretty much on, too. His rhythm guitar playing still doesn't really add anything, but he doesn't get in the way, either. I would definitely catch them.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood at Thalia Hall - Chicago

Yep.

Him and Keith were my favorite guitarist when I was kid. I wore out my sister's AC/DC 8-tracks.

Ha! I was just listening to that on the way home from work.

More than likely, I am heading down to St. Louis to catch them.

Let us know how that McLaughlin/Herring show is - if you don't mind... I didn't hear about the tour until recently and the two Chicago dates are sold out. Sounds like a great show. I know I am beating dead horse here - but if I only listened and watched a webcast of Dead & Co. - I may feel the same way, but actually going to a show is a whole different thing for me - with this band. The whole vibe is pretty great and the music is a big part of it. It's weird, I guess. It does suck that prices for tickets for this Fall tour are a bit expensive - but so it goes.

Yeah - I am kinda surprised that it isn't sold out -- on paper, the band that he is bringing, doesn't motivate me to go. I noticed a few weeks ago he added Eric Krasno and Karl Denson to the bill.

Well double fuck - didn't hear anything about this show until now. Crap. Speaking of the Riv - Phil is playing there tomorrow and Thursday. Tickets still available for both nights.

Technically that line came from Patti Smith.
