That lick through out the song reminds me of the lick though out Guthrie/Wilco's Hoodoo Voodoo. Never was much of Cars fan - but that is great tune.

I am in the same boat - but I have a Roku hooked up to my TV, so I spent $20 for Sling (internet TV channel) so I get TBS for a month to watch the NL playoffs. Also get ESPN and ESPN2 with the package - it's been fun watching more college football. (Still have no desire to get cable, though, nor do I miss it.)

A while ago, 'Sitting on Top of the World' was being discussed, XM just played the below segment on the 'Today in GD History' show (10.21.71 - Chicago's Auditorium Theatre). Keith really shines throughout. It's pretty amazing how much he fit in, right off the bat.

or Rush fans? the age-old debate...

That voodoonola person is something else - such nice, great uploads.

I go up to Stained Glass - then they start to get dicey for me.

Been listening to Sin after Sin and Sad Wings this morning -- that "Last Rose of Summer" is a good tune. Also, always liked their version of "Diamond and Rust", of course when I was in grade school and listening to these tapes, I never heard of Joan Baez and always thought Judas Priest wrote the tune.

Built to Last is a little cheesy for me - the tune tries to be earnest, but it doesn't work for me - both musically and lyrically. Push Come to Shove is a good one --- West LA is probably in my top 5 favorite songs of theirs.

Well he is going to have to start preparing, then.

Also, Sanders is going to have come up with a solid/coherent answer regarding his gun stance, too -- he seemed totally surprised/flabbergasted, when this discussion came up -- he must have known that the issue was going to come up and if he didn't know, he needs to fire the person who was in charge to get him ready for the debate. I fully understand his stance - since he is from Vermont - he just needs to explain it much better and not be so defensive.

I always thought Picasso Moon was alright, same with Eternity. I can do with out rest, though.

We had three different ones topping each of the categories on our voting form --- I think the Republicans need to hold a hearing, for sure.

How did you chili do in the chili cook off - NoJ? We left before the results were given.

Compared to 8 years ago - Clinton did much better this time around. Sanders did come off a little like the "I am mad as hell" character -- i did think it was genuine, but he might want to tone it down a bit. I am sure his base loved his performance, though - those who are not fully convince by him, maybe not so much. Right now I an edging towards his camp, though. and yeah - Chafee and Webb were pretty awful.

Yeah - nor have I. I never go into a Dead related show, evening thinking I am going to an actual Grateful Dead show or anything like it -- even the FTW shows - it doesn't even make sense that one would think that. NP the below show - forgot that Kimock filled in for Karan for a bit when Mark was dealing with his cancer. Good show. https://archive.org/details/rd2007-11-08.adkA51TL.flac

Speaking of Trey and the Fare Thee Well shows - great discussion below from the New York Festival. http://blog.phish.net/1444067800/trey-anastasio-new-yorker-festival-interview

another thing about Maiden - recently checked out below -- it had to be the worst book on music ever - cut and paste job from various interviews, at least the author cited properly. I didn't bother to read any past 7th Son. At least it took me only about a 1/2 hour.

That's the time period when I was getting into them --- my aunt bought me Powerslave on cassette for Christmas.

Finally going to see Iron Maiden live -- got general admission floor tickets, too - at the United Center - should be a hoot. forgot: UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!

Concord Music Hall

I want to catch them play, but every time they pass through Chicago they play at a notoriously bad sounding venue.

Got two for the Chicago show -- should be a nice date night with wife.

The Cubs/Cards series definitely will be a good one -- too bad it's only best of five.

A couple of nights ago I checked out from my library Cheap Trick's 30th Anniversary of Budokan! which included the DVD the April 30, 1978 Budokan performance -- it was fun to watch. I use to have the record as kid - like everyone else who grew up in the late 70s - besides the big hits (Surrender, etc), I didn't remember many of the songs at all.

Sounds like a great organization -- should be a delightful evening.
