  1. Listening to the 2022 Record Store release of Judas Priest's - Hero, Hero. Sounds fantasic. Tunes from Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings --- I never owned Rocka Rolla -- can't say I even listen to it all the way through (probably have, but forgot) - anyway right out the box Judas Priest were writing killer tunes. Was at my mother in law's house this weekend for Mom's day --- she has this crazy antenna TV system, which has music video stations from the each decade ----happen to catch the Rock Rolla's video for the first time --- it took me a second to realize that was Judas
  2. Last month I went to a Bob Weir show at the Chicago Theater --- a dude had a dog with him. Obviously it was a service dog. My seat was right off the center isle - it was cool seeing the German Shepherd (with its owner) walk up and down the center isle. Every time I think of dogs and concerts I think of Altamont. From the looks of the footage from that day, a dog always seemed be on stage.
  3. I signed up for it, but forgot to tune in. I
  4. Looks like a YouTube page has been started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_odog3e_Ks
  5. Me too - (via nugs, though)
  6. Just looked up the University of Leeds Refectory --- didn't realize it was a place like that (or I forgot) --- very similar to the Dead's 72 Aarhus University gig (another cafeteria).
  7. Yeah - it's nice to finally have the whole Dark Star in the Pick. I haven't listened to that box in a long while. Gans did a good job on that one, I thought. The Miami Jai-Alai Fronton had to be one of the funkier places the Dead has played. From pictures it seemed so wide.
  8. While I was at the Weir and the Wolf Pack show in Chicago last month, I kept of thinking of the 73 horn tour. The horns sounded great - it just took 50 years or so to get it to sound right. That being said, I wouldn't mind an official 73 horn show release --- I would think they would be able to clean up the sound of the boards. Or maybe they tried and it is a lost cause. I got away from 72 today and listened to Dave's 34 - June 23, 1974 / Jai-Alai Fronton in Miami, Florida.
  9. Yeah - now I am listening to the Aarhus University from 4/16 - the most unique venue of the tour (a college cafeteria) - another favorite. Garcia's runs during El Paso are beautiful.
  10. Listening to the Denmark Deadcast -- the Empire/Newcastle was great. Last night I listened to the April 14, 1972 Copenhagen show -- one of my favorites from the tour. Pigpen shined.
  11. Nugs will webcast Saturday's (April 23rd) Chicago show. https://www.nugs.net/live-download-of-wilco-auditorium-theatre-chicago-il-04-23-2022-mp3-flac-or-online-music-streaming/28852-WEBCAST.html
  12. If you don't do Amazon - I have been watching it on Kanopy (via my roku).
  13. Starting watching this last night - very entertaining. Didn't know the doc was out -- thanks.
  14. I have listen to many, definitely nicely done. The Workingman's Dead and American Beauty song breakdowns have been great. The St. Louis set, too. Need to listen to the Pigpen and Dark Star one. Got tickets for the summer Wrigley shows, today. The rumors going around have been fun.
  15. What was the reason for the Priest cancelation?
  16. Alton Brown puts on a great show. Enjoy.
  17. Just a shout out for Weir --- the Chicago show was something special. Horns sounded wonderful - great band - great production.
  18. Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros featuring The Wolfpack at the Chicago Theatre.
  19. Interesting. Didn't realize it was assigned balcony seating, too. Typically I always stayed on the main floor -- but the couple of times we went up to the balcony, the brisk walk up the stairs to nab a great seat was a hoot. I don't remember ever seeing seat numbers - but I can be wrong about that. I guess the venue/promotor gets a bit more dough this way, too.
  20. Would you know when the Riv started to sell separate tickets for the floor and various balconies? Been a long while since I bought tickets for a Riviera show, but I don't remember seeing that before.
  21. I read the Bootleg one -- I am pretty sure I read others of his, too. It's great that writers now have access to Dylan's archive in Tulsa.
  22. I believe that was Howard Sounes who revealed that -- Heylin takes a jab or two at Sounes in the book.
  23. Reading Heylin's The Double Life of Bob Dylan - A Restless, Hungry Feeling (1941-1966). I have a few chapters left ----- it's been a while since I read a Dylan bio -- still amazed how much he wrote before 66. Heylin is a blow hard - but it is well researched. Looking forward to future volumes -- I am assuming there will be.
