I listened to the Circles record and part of a concert - it really didn't hold my interest. Maybe different if I was actually at the show. Speaking of Casal - I am now playing Willie Nelson's Songbird - he is backed by the Cardinals - nice listen.
-
Thx. for the review, Shug - does sound like was great show. Hoping Jay gets a wild hair and does another Chicago gig over the summer. Still bummed that I missed the last one...
-
I saw that on the GD page - wish I could make it up there for it. If you are working or hanging there tonight - I'd be curious to know how the turn out was. thx.

Half way through disc 2 - they're cooking.

My copy of Betty Blends Vol. 3 came a day early. Of course this release has the same old stellar packaging with detailed liner notes Anybody know what shows the tunes are from. Chris is sounding a bit rough on the opening track - I Ain't Hiding.
-
Yeah, I really enjoyed 12/7/71 last night. Nice brisk show - definitely some flubs but it's seems like they were having a blast on stage - at least that's is the way it came across through speakers. Keith did seemed to be buried in the mix, though. Hopefully, I will get to 12/6 tonight. I should be getting the May set tomorrow, too --- also, I should be getting Betty's Chris Robinson Brotherhood cd tomorrow. Lots of new music to listen to this month.

Been listening to Music to Eat via Spotify for the first time today - interesting. Love the bass riff on Hey Old Lady and Bert's Song. Reminds of a Blues Brothers type tune for some reason. Actually the bass is nice throughout. -
'He gone.' I can't break bad on Hawk - I do enjoy his indignation. Won't be too sad when he finally retires, but I can tolerate him. No Picks in the mailbox today, at least the Sox are up 4-0 in the sixth.
-
Watching baseball with the TV volume down and music playing on stereo is my norm and one of my favorite activities. White Sox are on regular TV today, too - my plan tonight is to get the kid's in bed by 8pm and listen to the Pick while watching the Sox regroup against the Royals.

That dome is so big, I was wondering how it looked for the show and found some pics. Definitely had a decent crowd. I am guessing those who had seats in the actual stands, wandered down to the floor. http://jranderson.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Grateful-Dead-1984-10-20-Carrier-Dome-Syracuse-University-NY/G00005Q8GIDt6NMk/I0000L0.JqwgWOGE

Mine should be in my mail box when I get home. Looking forward to it.

Wow Doc with ABB - thanks for that!

Howie's story is a tragic one, for sure. I have never seen Petty - but my sister-in-law is a big fan and every tour my brother and her go and see him play. This year they are driving up to Milwaukee, in lieu of Wrigley. I never heard her complain about a set list - but I think my brother would have be fine to stop seeing him 10 years or so years ago. He did enjoy the Mudcructh show, though - mostly because it was at the Riviera and not in some shed.

Numerous papers are stating Ron Blair in their reviews - but you right, I don't think I would have recognized him. http://music.blog.ajc.com/2017/04/28/concert-review-and-photos-tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers-highlight-40-years-of-rock-in-atlanta/ron-blair/#main

Everyone watch out for the bags of various items that may start being thrown about...be prepared to duck.... Agree though, the Allmans are way, way above Skynyrd, Boston, or the Doobies, musicianship wise - tastes are all subjective, but musicianship is not.
-
I am looking forward to the new CRB Betty Board release. Definitely prefer live CRB to the studio stuff. A new CRB studio record is in the can and should be out in June, I think. I really enjoyed the CRB show I saw last October.
-
Lack of money may be a reason why Steve is sitting it out. Each ticket is $35 in Chicago. They are playing two shows at the Metro which holds 1100, according to Wiki = $77,000 over both nights. Guess that isn't too, too much when you have 10 musicians/roadies/management/travel/room/board, etc.... I paid $25 for CRB last October for a Chicago Gig. The hall that I saw them holds about 1000 and it was probably 2/3rds or so filled. I can see a Crowes reunion happening in a few years.
-
Glad Rich at least asked Steve to join -- I was wondering if he reached out to him or not.
-
We are few shows into Season 2 of Shameless. Fun show.
-
Thanks - I haven't gotten around to watching it, but I did put on my saved shows on Netflix. The kid and I may just stick with American Pickers for now. Will check out the Detectorists, though - seems interesting.
-
Yeah same here - today, just a constant nagging cough/ watery eyes, nose, etc. Breathing seems okay - the kid is also asthmatic, which is always a concern to the school nurse/teacher and may be a reason why they booted her out, today. Which is understandable, I guess, in hindsight.
-
Tell me about it -- granted, it's only preschool - she's 5. She should have stayed, though.
-
Jinxed myself - just got a call my kid's school nurse - i am off to pick her up. Buggers.

Tweedy's episode of Parks and Rec. was playing when I was at my Mexican lunch spot this morning - the episode when he was trying to sing Andy's Karate Chop Master song -- I laughed, again.
