Well today the White Sox may have already peaked for the year with a 11-2 win over the Tigers. Shields pitched great to boot. Also, nice to hear that Sale had a great opening start.

Everyone seemed to have looked and acted weird during that tour.

I have the show on my hard drive, haven't watch it in a while. Need to rectify that, tonight. That above clip with Baez is what I remember most. Speaking of Baez, I caught her new song about the President. She probably could have worked a little harder on it, but the sentiment is there and it is kind of catchy.

I believe the show above was in Fort Collins, not Boulder. Definitely a great show. The Dylan/Baez duets were shot nicely. How anyone survived that tour is beyond me.

I am sure he was just driving himself to the doctor/pharmacy.... For some reason, I am more interested in what Letterman has to say, anyway. Must admit, I miss the guy.

Brinkley will have complete access to Dylan's archives in Tulsa, too -- him being a historian and a pretty great writer, I hoping for great results.

I read the same thing. Also, Douglas Brinkley is writing a book about the period surrounding the Rolling Thunder years.

I just got it today and just started disc 2. I agree with you --- I think it's a song connection for me, too. Sound wise it's great. Enjoy your first show.

Somebody needs to ask Keith Richards his thoughts on the Pepper deluxe package. (har har har)

Yeah - the $150 is what stinks about only having the BluRay as part of the Super Deluxe -- which is typical with these sorts of deals/reissues.

I would be interested in the below - but, of course, it's only part of the super deluxe. I am assuming at some point they will sell it as a stand alone. I am happy with the mono and stereo release of this record that they put out a bit ago, as part of the box sets. They should include the mono in one of these sets, too. I don't think they ever release it on cd, as a stand alone. I could be wrong about that, though.

Last week, I checked out the 4 disc version from the library. I watched a bit off the Bonus rehearsal stuff last night - it's okay. Chuck definitely plays pretty sloppy throughout. Some of the Berry/Richards interactions are pretty good - not sure how much of it was staged, though. It's was nice to see Robert Cray in the concert/footage -- always has been a fan of him since the early 80s. Actually, I have been on a huge Robert Cray kick for the past two months or so - what a voice that guy has - nice guitar chops, too.

Ha!

Does this mean that you think Keith didn't do good job with movie.

Yeah - and I missed it. Decided to take the kids on the quick spring break trip - booked it - and then remembered I had Son Volt tickets. Oh well ---- like my brother (who i was going to go with - a dad of three) said when I called him up to tell he him that I booked a trip with the family ---- 'why the hell did we have kids'. It was a great trip, though. Hopefully a boot pops up.

Yeah - would love to hear a tape of that show.

Kinda surprised to see Rockford, IL on the list. I don't think they ever played Rockford, before.

Yeah - the double JGB CD was my intro JGB - my parents bought it for me for Christmas when it came out. I don't think I even had any JGB boots at the time, so it was all very new to me. I remember thinking how different it sounded from the Dead.

If I knew about the below - I forgot about it. Pretty funny. from Robbie Robertson via Rolling Stone

Hey Lou, let me know if the below happens tonight, too. Enjoy the show. Been a long while since I seen Tortoise play.

It's a good one, for sure. I have never gotten around to collect much JGB stuff past 78, so I don't have much to compare it to. The double JGB cd release is my gold standard for the later stuff and this release is just a touch below it.

Yeah - the Stones were my intro to Berry, too. Ya-Ya's is perfect example. Little Queenie is another favorite of mine. One of the first songs I learned on guitar was Down the Road a Piece -- I know Chuck didn't write it, but he covered it and I am assuming the Stones were more familiar with his cover than the original. Great intro guitar lick. Ian Stewart was another reason why the Stones were best at covering Chuck's tunes - esp on Down the Road a Piece and on Ya-Ya's.

Hear! Hear!

Same here - the letter writing/phone calling bit --- got to admit, though, out of all this crap, Gorsuch seems like a solid pick -- I definitely don't agree with many of his past judgements or his judicial point of view - but he is definitely qualified. This whole crap that the R's did with Garland is beyond reproach, I don't want the D's to repeat. The Court needs to stay above this political crap. Once it goes - we all go.

Yep - looks a great set.
