the crowes do a great job on girl from the north country.

Shit. Not sure how I missed that one. The Roots' Masters of War is definitely top three for me. Amazing performance.

and they throw in the star spangled banner & machine gun. so awesome

sounds awesome!

Calvino, you don't like Horsehead? I thought that was one of the better songs on the album --- it's at least got a kickass groove going.

 

I did find a way to make the album more enjoyable. Take out "Heavy", "Diamond Ring", and "Then She Said My Name", and put in "When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky", "Grows A Rose", and the B-side version of "Peace Anyway". It still sounds a bit overproduced and glittery, but at least the worst of Chris's vocal indulgences (i.e. Heavy) are gone.

the lyrics annoy me on horsehead. the guitar is awesome though.

i love diamond ring :-\ sappy but i like it. i also like then she said my name. agree on heavy.

i generally feel the way matt does.

if you haven't heard/seen it, track down the roots' cover of masters of war. i think it's become my fave dylan cover ever. it's so bizarre

ha, i have that & had no idea 'sad eyed lady' was on there. odd choice. i love 'love is four letter word'.

damn near any dylan song jerry garcia sang. especially when in the jerry garcia band.

I think Mark Lanegan could do a good job covering "Funky Cold Medina".

 

This is sounding pretty good.

that cover of no place to fall is gorgeous. i love the mark/isobel albums.

i don't like heavy either.

i used welcome to the goodtimes during our wedding. still can't believe i talked my wife into having htat played after we said our vows/walked down the aisle. also had diamond ring on our wedding cd (cheesy i know, but i fit 2 crowes songs on that cd!)

virtue and vice is a kick ass song.

said it on here a lot but i love by your side. i always have. there are only a few songs i dislike (horsehead though the guitar is great, forgetting the other ones)

crowebase has info on Band.

 

as far as the shows go, i thought they were supposed to be doing these mammoth shows with 1.5 hour acoustic sets and 2 hour electric sets.

depends on the venue actually. first night in milwaukee was but the last 2 were not.

setlist:

crowesbase says 120 minutes. weird

ONE MIRROR TOO MANY

SOUL SINGING

MY MORNING SONG -> STARE IT COLD -> MY MORNING SONG

HOW MUCH FOR YOUR WINGS?

BRING ON BRING ON

WISER TIME

DESCENDING

JEALOUS AGAIN

THICK N THIN

TWICE AS HARD

- encore -

BEEN A LONG TIME (WAITING ON LOVE)

REMEDY

my morning song/stare it cold was awesome/weird. i think that setlist is quite awesome.

great show tonight but very short (90 min). lots of old songs. the keyboard player (forget his name) seems to have gotten better. he did a great job on descending.

nice. i'm going to see them tonight. thinking about picking up the vinyl if it's for sale.

robert pollard - from a compound eye

i hate/love when i sleep on a band/someone for so long & then fall madly in love.

great idea for a mix tape!

grateful dead - me & my uncle

Thanks for the recommendation. I gave Disc One a couple of spins last night and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It definitely has that Everly's/Jayhawks/Bakersfield thang going on. Interesting how this predates Tomorrow The Green Grass by a couple of years.

I'm not a huge jayhawks fan but i already like this more than any jayhawks album i've ever heard. thought this last night while listening & heard a jayhawks vibe.

los lobos - tin can rust. damn good

finally got around to the bonus disc. gah! just as good. 'paper & a promise' kicks so much ass

fuck

yes.

so good. i've listened to think on it a lot since sunday.

 

 

f'ing amazing

yes it is. i know it's a reissue but can it be up for record of the year? so damn good.

nope. no mention of that. here's the vid:

oh yeah, maybe steve, not sven.

had a long drive to fully digest this. so freakin' awesome. my morning song is fantastic. kinda wish miracle to me would've been on here too.

i saw an interview with chris where he talks about how they picked the song (he, sven & rich wrote their choices down, came together. they 80% of the same songs. which is weird)

imo, their best & one of my fave albums.
