That's what I thought - but I couldn't remember.

Is Nels living in New York City, now-a-days?

At first I thought you were serious, then I started to hum a tune and chuckled.

Warren and Allen Woody were in the Allman Brothers Band for good few years by 94, so they had a constant money source by then. Record company may have chipped in, too.

Ticket costs is why we are just catching one night in Chicago. Think this will be the first time that we are not catching a whole Chicago run. Which is fine.

So far I have only listened to about 4 shows from the recent 66 tour box -- sound is decent -- the audience recording that I heard, leaves a lot to be desired, but it was cool to hear the audience laughing at some of the new style of lyrics. From the audience recording, It seemed that audience was definitely digging the new tunes. It definitely will take awhile to get all the way through the set.

I was trying to avoid to ever see a show at Wrigley -- but my wife and friends are already game for it. So we shall see. I don't find anything generic about Mayer's guitar playing -- though, his voice can grate on my nerves a bit. Maybe he over plays a bit, but he has seemed to reign that in a bit, too. I would have no problem with Oteil being louder in the mix.

Probably will catch the show in Chicago Show -- it's a Saturday and at a great venue. I think my wife is done seeing Son Volt, though, I had to keep nudging her to keep her awake the last time.

More 79 -- 11/25/79. Fun, rockin' 2nd set. Shakedown > Bertha opening set 2 is pretty great. https://archive.org/details/gd1979-11-25.sbd.miller.84489.flac16

A "6 Pack" First Set

Just found out that my in-laws may be going the grab bag route this Xmas -- my 4 year subscription run may be coming to an end, barring a Xmas miracle. This may be the first thing that I am blaming Trump on....Damn him. 21 does look good.

Pulled 2 decent balcony tickets for Saturday. Happy with just one show this go around. As someone mentioned - it will be weird not standing in line this year. Not to mention, it will be a train ride for me this go around too, which is a good thing. That being all said, I do enjoy going to those Riv shows.

Great stuff. (that Cy Young footage). That's some juxtaposition between that family footage and Kate's tweet.

Maybe Wilco is touring with a stylist this tour. Next up a choreographer for the theater district' Chicago shows in February.

The new one looks like it should be a good one or at least an interesting one. from Son Volt's Website:

"its good to be here. It's good to be anywhere." Ha! - That's a Keith Richards' line. Keith has, at times, braids his hair, too. Next their exit music at shows is going to be You Can't Always Get What You Want... Thanks for reviews --- nice to hear yours and Wilco's perspective from overseas during the election aftermath.

Just watched Ep. 2. Still good stuff. Reading the 66 Beatles book, now - perfect timing watching this episode, just finished the chapter about Lennon wanting to swing from the ceiling. Betty show info - it will be Ep. 8 (saving the best for last, I guess) http://liveforlivemusic.com/news/grateful-dead-betty-cantor-jackson-featured-upcoming-soundbreakers-episode/

I am watching it on Roku PBS Channel on demand channel - it doesn't come on until 10pm in Chicago.

Just watched the 1st episode - good stuff, thus far.

I think one needs to actually vote to enter any discourse. Even a vote for a third or whatever party is a vote. I know about 3 people who voted for Johnson - I think that was his name. And all of them are from IL and all of them knew Johnson didn't have a chance, but they were hoping for him (or someone) to break that 5% point in total votes. To try to get a third party in the game.

This afternoon, after work, I had a quick beer today at my local pub for the first time since the election - overheard two older guys talking next to me - they were talking about how they think Trump is the only one who can fix things and such....they then proceeded to say they both really liked Sanders and wish that he would have won the primary and believed that he would have beaten Trump (not sure I have the same opinion). These guys were both pushing 70s and were Bernie supporters, but I am gathering that they voted for Trump. Was going to ask them directly, perhaps I would have if I had a

Yeah, I know he was out of job going into his silence on the board -- I am sure he just got sick/tiried of things on this board, though. Must admit, the beer thread has been pretty much dormant since his departure - which is a shame. He had the best beer suggestions/stories... Plus he is a huge Who fan.

I was that show, too. (7.23.90) I have a dvd of it on my hard drive - it's decent enough. It was my 2nd show.

Sounds low-fi -- of course I am listening to it on a shitty computer speaker. You are right, though - rocking.

Finally gotten the reissue of Trace - the one with two discs. Nice show on the 2nd disc.
