Hopefully the city sends Trump the bill for today's rally.

Crap - I was hoping you (Chez) were going to say it sucked and sounded horrible --- glad it didn't, though! Thanks for the review. It would have been cool to see The Rock and Amazing Journey/Sparks.

I don't recall Trump ever going after Carson or vice versa (not that either of them really needed to) -- both 'outside Washington DC' guys, too.

How was the show? (feel free to post in the Who thread -- if you want)

That's great --- just listened to it last night. I may be in the minority, but this version of the Byrds (as a four piece with White) is by far my favorite. The version of Eight Miles High on the Royal Albert release is great -- the bass solo is a lot of fun. Just noticed that Jacques Levy worked with McGuinn prior to Dylan and that Roger introduced Levy to Dylan. Also they covered a Jackson Browne song at the show, too. How did you manage to catch the show -- did you spend a semester studying abroad or did you do the whole hippie backpacking across Europe thing?

Jeff Beck.

I just ordered the 3 cd/1 Blu-ray edition of the Idlewild South this morning, via Amazon. Have been holding off, hoping for my library system to get it - but no dice yet, so I figured they never will.

Ultimate Classic Rock agrees -- America's Holiday ranks No. #4 http://ultimateclassicrock.com/george-martin-non-beatles-records/

Well that's good about the Houston show --- just seems so crazy - the suddenness of it all. Read that his auto racing didn't help, either.

Other than some of his work the Beatles, his production of Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow and Wired were my favorites of his. They both sound great.

Did you think Johnson sounded off at all?

Listening to this today -- Don't think I ever heard it before -- great set list for the 1st set and pretty well played through out. I really like the early West LA's -- the early Touch of Grey's always seemed rushed.

I enjoy Modern Times, too - more so than Tempest and Together Through Life. I think Tempest bores me more than Together Through Life, probably because it is a longer record.

Can't imagine who would want to go see them play with another singer --- Malcolm, Johnson, and Rudd all out.

The first West LA Fadeaway was pretty great -- lyrics were a bit different. They debuted Day Job on the same night (8-28-82) - a nice peppy version of Day Job.

I think Dylan still has an all-original new record in him - maybe two. (Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, though.)

Wouldn't mind seeing a Dylan and Staples show --- maybe Dylan will loosen up a bit and they will share the stage at some point. Would be better if it was his own new material, but I will probably end buying it, anyway.

Yeah these Archive files have been fun to listen to -- first the Cover versions and now this one - both uploaded by the same person. What a great, amazing resource.

I was watching it last night with my wife and she said the same thing - I know, not the same at 10 year old, but she said 'how does he he still do that,' I pulled at single floor ticket for the Chicago show, but just can't pull the trigger due to costs. Never seen the Who. Plus, my wife told me if I was going to go see them, she would have to go, too -- which would make even more expensive.

I happen to have the TV on last night and caught the performance --- definitely sounded great.

Watched Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour DVD last night -- man, that was fun to watch. Earl Slick definitely over played a bit -- but I can't see Vaughan fitting in at all with the band. Loved the two back up singers, too. I thought the overall production was great --- anybody who thought Bowie sold out around this time is a weirdoe (To quote Lammy).

I live about 20 minutes away from 3 Floyds - never been to a Dark Lord day. I tried to go there twice -- both times there was a line to get in and both times I didn't want to deal with it and left. Heard that their food is great, though.

Well they all did sign a "contract" prior to the election that they would support whomever was elected- so there is that. I don't have a problem with all the candidates still sticking with it - they all are still in the race. I don't think any of them will be standing behind him, like Christie, anytime soon, though. Maybe Cruz. But I don't think Rubio or Kasich ever will.

I only heard bits of it, but Romney's speech sounded good --- tonight's debate should be a good one (and a mess).

I thought David Browne dealt with the information about the late 60's/early 70's communes nicely - what it was like living in the area during that period, especially Mickey Hart's ranch/commune. I don't think I would have wanted to hang out at Hart's ranch during the early to mid 70's. He seemed to interview a lot more women for the book, too. All of the above was kinda new to me or at least presented in a new way.
