Ha! - been listening to the show this morning and didn't notice that.

Wish Wilco would start adding more shows.

Great shot of John.

Enjoyable show on Friday --- the only tune that didn't work for me was U.S. Blues -- it made me chuckle when Tweedy sang the 'steal your wife' line --- how can anyone believe that Jeff Tweedy would steal somebodies wife. 'Airline to Heaven' was great to hear. Nels, though tough to hear in the mix from time to time, added a lot. I though the highlight the band was Karl Denson -- even his singing on 'Shakedown Street' was great. We took off during 'New Speedway Boogie' to catch an Uber -- so I am bummed to have missed the Franklin's and Via Chicago. I figured they were going t

Sacred Rose Fest ---- Phil Lesh and Friends and others.

A buddy needed to unload two tickets, so I took it as a sign to head to the festival (I swore off festivals a long while ago) - looking forward to seeing the show. Should be an interesting one. Phil did put together a great band.

Awesome story - thanks for sharing. Dale was one of my favorites growing up, too (and I am a AL/White Sox fan). Still remember buying his rookie card in the early 80s. Dale was on every APBA or Strat-O-Matic team of mine. (card playing/dice games)

Last night went to a jazz show ---- ran into LouieB -- which was nice -- it's been a long, long while. Great Show, too. At Elastic Arts in Chicago:

Just received a used copy of Somewhere in Time on vinyl --- this was the last tape I bought from Iron Maiden before I went off to Grateful Dead land - I did buy a knock off tape of Seventh Sign at a flea market when it was it released ---- anyway it's been a long while since I listened to it - I forgot that "Deja-Vu" is a kick ass tune.

Was this the first time you were at Thalia Hall? The venue has turned into my favorite venue in Chicago. It's been a few years for me - actually it was a Sleep show - a few months before covid hit. A great venue to catch a Bob Mould show.

Guessing there are some Highland Parkers on the board - hopefully they are all safe.

cool book cover

The rest of the band is great, too ---- bunch of my friends were heading there, already - I was gonna pass - but this changes things.

Ugh

Man that stinks - I hardly ever fly, but I always thought airlines tried to get people a new flight, after cancelation.

Today was my kid's last day of school (4th and 6th grade) --- both stoked for the summer. Sadly, I can imagine the slain kids/teachers (as well as the survivors) talking about the upcoming summer vacation, yesterday... I would love a complete ban, but it has to be much, much harder to purchase guns, ammo, and body armor ( I am not even sure why the hell body armor is buyable by the general public).

Yeah definitely from The Old Grey Whistle -- need to search out the full video - did not realize that they were on it. Listening to "Run of the Mill" now --- great, great tune.

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

Service dogs are amazing animals, for sure.

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.

I signed up for it, but forgot to tune in. I

Looks like a YouTube page has been started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_odog3e_Ks

Me too - (via nugs, though)

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).

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.
