    agreed. frontgate kept on signing me out for my own security. so considerate of them...

    now i dont have my philly tix. gaaa.

    Yeah, I kept getting signed out for security purposes. Luckily, the venue that I plan to go to is usually slow to sell out even for pretty popular acts. The only problem is I have a weekly meeting when tix go on sale on Friday. Might have to take a half day just to secure tickets. Blah!

     

    Anyone else seeing them in Clearwater, FL? Have any luck with presale?

    Calling all beer snobs

    Dale's Pale Ale is choice #1 for me and also a big fan of Dogfish, but sometimes there's nothing like a Budweiser and a shot of tequila or whiskey.

     

    Also, I have no problem bringing beer to a party with free beer or having someone show up with a six pack of their favorite brand if I'm providing beer. You can't really force anyone to eat or drink something.

    U2 - 360 Degrees Tour "Cheap Seats"

    in Someone Else's Song

    Similar situation for me...I saw them for the first time in October (in Tampa). I had a GA ticket and fortunately got there early enough to be in the "inner circle" area under the claw, which was pretty awesome. I absolutely loved the show - not sure if it helped that I was close to the stage or that I had never seen them before. Anyway, I heard good things about the video screens from people who had seats farther back. Before that show, I thought that I only needed to see them once in my life, but now I'm thinking I need to see them again. Have fun!

     

    I was at that same show. I was on the 300s but didn't mind because the screens were really great. I was quite surprised. Never been that big of a U2 fan or a fan of seeing shows in stadiums but this was one of the best shows I ever saw. The band's sound is made for large venues and the large crowd singing along was euphoric.

    Time for Wilco to put out a country album

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    I don't know about a country album, but I would like to hear some songs with something close to traditional bluegrass instrumentation. I've been listening to Elvis Costello's latest a lot and I really like that sound.

     

    Nels on Dobro, Pat on mandolin, John on upright bass, Jeff on acoustic guitar, Mike on acoustic piano, Glenn on a simple set up of bass/snare/hi-hat, Andrew Bird on fiddle.

    I don't see the difference. How does an attorney general's private life affect his/her job performance?

    I didn't make myself clear. I personally don't care about anybody's personal life when it come to their job (of course there are some limitations, such as murder and such). I was referring to Eliot Spitzer. The main thing that upset me about Spitzer's adultery is that he went after prostitution rings and got himself real high on the success of that. That's not right.

     

    Letterman's not laying down the moral code, he's making us laugh. There's a difference.

    If he didn't tell his girlfriend before he did it, or directly after he did it, then he DID hide it and lie about it.

    Exactly. He's only saying something because he was getting blackmailed and now he has to testify.

     

    As far as a double standard of him telling jokes making fun of people involved in adultry, he's a comedian not an attorney general. Whatever he does in his private life, doesn't really matter.

     

    The bit about the fake $2 million check is great.

    does this piss you guys off?

    Dick. However, if you guys say he has some good records, I believe that.

    I like Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, and Easy Tiger. Cold Roses is one of my fave records of all time.

     

    Also, this video doesn't bother me at all and when I first saw it thought it was kind of funny.

    KT is great simply for bringing the songs off Ghost is Born to life. I love that album but was never crazy about the way it was mixed in studio. Hell is Chrome for example, is about 100x better on the live CD. Just wish they put Theologians on there too...

    Totally agree with all of this. Great version of Hell Is Chrome. Also, I believe that they did release the Theologians as a b side to sumthin.

    So whats your favorite record? Mine by far (well right now at least) is "Easy Beat."

     

    Is it just me, or is Toby Leaman a freakin sic bass player? His tone/style is right out of the 70's... I especially love his bass line on "Today".

     

    I also don't know how he can sing lead and play those bass lines at the same time. Can't wait to see him do it live.

    They are such a great show. If you want a tease, I've seen a bunch of live clips on youtube and their recent performance on fallon was really good. Played The Ark off of Fate.

     

    Gonna listen to Easy Beat tonight. It's been a couple years, need to listen again to that one before I can pick one.
