They don't even make Cherry anymore....

Neil freaking Diamond is awesome. UB40 also covered his "Holly Holy." He's written a shit ton of tunes that are covered by others, including Sinatra, Elvis, Shane MacGowan, and Johnny freaking Cash Deep Purple (and Waylon Jennings) covered "Kentucky Woman." The man is a legend.

Ouch

Thanks. Looking forward to trying the smaller, tougher (compared to the real deal ME lobster), no claw-meat lobster they have there, too!

I hear it's overrated....

We went last year. I loved it. Going to Jamaica in a week or so (wife's bday gift for me).

And another favorite version of "freight train" by Taj Mahal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPo-7bzU3wM I was going to question the validity of some of the "great" train songs listed here (as these things can tend to become merely lists) but opted not to. Now, I'm forced to....

It really is. I remember when the album came out and how much I/we (friends) were loving it and how much I loved that particular tune and how cool it was for Stipe and Co to come up with it....Still, it's a great cover!

This could have gone in the "Covers" thread for me. I heard the GD do this (and a couple others by her) before I got turned on to her around '87. Nice.

Whoah. Never knew this!

Well, maybe not per se as in it involves actual trains or train imagery, but the beat/rhythm surely connotates a train rolling down the tracks...

I don't believe it is. I've been (re-) listening to Ball-hog or Tug Boat a lot the past week or so. Here's an awesome live clip of "Big Train" (w/ Eddie vedder and Dave Grohl): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkGhQ3bW_pU

"Play a Train Song," Todd Snider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cBjoE__vJs "Silver Train," Stones (Black Crowes do a great cover of it, too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3c2WUVZ9NQ "Two Trains," Little Feat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBbY0v2sKXg "Mystery Train," Junior Parker (but I'll take the JGB version any day): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzGYBdhlxmg "Train in Vain," The Clash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUzBgeI5dpc

Was listening to gdradio at lunch awhile ago and they had weir, C Robinson, Jackie Greene at The Mishawaka 6.3.12 with a very smooth and sexy "Bertha" opener (I missed this show but caught the first one a Rocky Grass): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rgfHkX8KXs

Nice. Thanks. They're in Denver tomorrow night and Boulder and Aspen over the weekend. All sold out, too.

New Potato Caboose-> Viola Lee Blues 1.27.67 Avalon Ballroom?

I was just about to post about them in the "Newish Bands" thread but I think it was last year I found out about him/them. Love this band....I've been trying to catch him around here (Denver, his base) but they sell out quick (they went from clubs to selling out Red Rocks within the past year with the album release).

Is it "Live" as in a concert you see in the moment or "Live" as in they continue to breathe?

Oh mama, good one. There's nothing quite like the fan to fall asleep to, save for a baker's dozen of klonopins and a gallon of gin.

I haven't seen Petty live since he shared the bill with Dylan and the GD back in '86. Might head up to Red rocks for a show this spring.

G 'n R's take on "Look at Your Game, Girl" before the original by Charles Manson.

Joan Jett's cover of "I Love Rock and Roll" before The Arrows' original version....

I think I've over-told it but here ya go: Fall 88 mini deep-south tour ((Miami that we missed) 2St.Petes->New Orleans->Houston->Dallas. After the New Orleans show (at which The Bangles came out to play the encore with them) we, as was every other head) were bumbling along Bourbon St. after the show and one of my buddies pointed out Brent and some other dude walking across the street. Being a huge Brent guy, I followed. they walked into a bar and I was right behind and took the empty seat, at the bar, right next to Brent. It was pretty crowded so as we waited a few minuted for the

I (honestly) never really cared to meet them all that much. I've met a few, regardless. Ones that spring to mind: Mike Watt and Nels Cline backstage at break time of a Banyan show at a friend's venue. Meeting Brent Mydland on Bourbon St after a show in New Orleans. Had a couple drinks sitting next to each other in some bar. Pretty funny deal, imo, but will spare you all the details. Met Jorma backstage, too, at a small venue show. Didn't go over well at all.Stupid booze. Chris Thile, who was dating (and later married and divorced) a good friend's daughter. He was over for Thanksgiving

Bob Dylan's got the all-time best one, imo, with "Talkin' Hava Negeilah Blues" off of the Bootleg Series V. 1-3. It's about 30 seconds long.
