  2. No, unfortunately I didn't make it to Solid Sound either year. However, I'm sure you heard me mentioned by Donna. Didn't you travel with her and Brennan to Solid Sound this past summer? Yes, please pm me. I don't blame you, I love pretzels as much as the next person, but not that much. See you tomorrow!

    ? bertha is not on Europe 72.

     

    I know, it was a typo. I was so excited I forgot to add the Vol. 2 bit. I've listened to all of disc 1 thus far. This is probably one of the best mixes of a dead live set I've heard and the performances are great, strong performances.

  4. I picked up Europe '72 today. I had to decide between that and Pearl Jam 20. But the Grateful Dead was on sale for 10 bucks. It started off with Bertha so it's already off to a great start. I might pick up some of the individual shows along the way.

  5. For me, R.E.M. led to (among others) the Velvet Underground, Jonathan Richman, Television, the Replacements, Robyn Hitchcock, Billy Bragg, and eventually Wilco!

    I discovered Wilco through them as well. Mercury Rev and Wilco opened for them on the UP tour in '99. Although UP wasn't a great album, they were still a great live act at that point.

  6. Anyone else find it ironic that Stipe says "A wise man once said--'the skill in attending a party is knowing when it's time to leave'" in his statement?

    I was thinking the same thing. They probably should have ended it when Bill left, but then I think that's right after they signed that new contract with Warners for a ridiculous amount of money. I'm sure they felt obligated to see that through. This greatest hits package probably wraps up that contract. Im not completely surprised it happened, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a once off reunion in the future.

  7. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings opened for Bright Eyes at a show I saw in Atlanta at the Fox in 2007. They were just mesmerizing. They also joined Conor and the gang for a few songs at the end of the show--might've been encores. That whole concert was one for the memory book.

    Her & David's version of Radiohead's 'Black Star' is incredible. I still prefer their version over Radiohead's version.

     

    There is also a live version of Gillian & David dueting with Ryan Adams on Gillian's 'The Revalator'. This is actually the song that got me into Gillian's music. I do like the new album well enough.

  8. I really liked the early acoustic versions of this song. The bass is what makes it so happening for me on the album though!

     

     

    and Nels' awesome guitar freaking out all over the place... of course.

    Nels has and will always kick ass! For being such a genius on guitar, he's one of the nicest and most humble artists I've ever met (of the few I've actually met)
