  1. If memory serves the feeling was that perhaps an over-zealous security guard type may have caused that kid to fall or be pushed off an overpass. Would not surprise me, I always thought the dudes at the Byrne were waaaaaay into a power trip / get outta my face kind of thing.
  2. True that a lot of guys could have had 100+ receptions in the Pat's scheme but Welker is a YAC machine, the guy had over 1100 yards this year (with 8 TD's). He also adds value as a fairly decent (not spectacular) punt returner. I think it was worth a second and a seventh round pick for him...also I may be wrong but wasn't Sammy Morris a part of that deal as well? Before he got hurt he was giving the Pats some solid running. Time will tell how it all works out....maybe Miami will draft some guy that comes out of nowhere with one of their picks ( a la Brady) but I think it was a decent trade and
  3. hmmmm....over paid? Not sure I agree with that. Welker was (is) an intregal part of the Pats attack. The guy had over 100 receptions and is a great weapon to use when they gotta throw short. He has come up with many big plays this year. Are you serious or goofin?
  4. How long until T.O starts blasting Romo and whomever else in the media for loosing this game? How you like the Jints chances vs GB?
  5. Twas a good time indeed......and thanks for the thanks...was kinda nerveracking but in the end not a big deal. I think that guy learned a valuable lesson. I've had other close calls before, but that was the first time an actual shot got fired...usually some inexperienced fool is waving the gun around and it gets pointed at you and thats all...but whattya gonna do? I dig guns and teaching folks how to use 'em....truth be told I'm not sure how close that round passed to me, it was close but most likely what I felt was all the gas and crap coming out of the muzzle....anyways.....I have all kinds
  6. OK. I have one extra ticket for the 3/2/07 Ryman show. The seat is Balcony Just slightly off center stage in row F...it's a decent seat Whomever replies first gets it....you can either PM me or email to: Guitarcia@comcast.net In the interest of spreading the joy (and just 'cause I get a kick out of it ) the ticket is free to the first person who wants it.... You will be seated with me and my girlfriend (who has never seen the boys) and we are both half-way respectable people and fairly laid back so you should have a good time. Again, the ticket is 100% free...no strings attached. I will
  7. Yeah..thats on the cover of what is it DP9? (I think)...funny MSG story I think I posted on the previous Dead topic pages....At a show there back in 92 or so (Rex Benefit) anyways having a great time hooting and hollering....I ended up dropping this setlist thingy I was holding into the row in front of me, so I bend over the seat back to pick it up and this chick in that seat turns around, gets in my face and yells "I'll fucking stab you!" apparently she thought I was goin for her bag or something...only in NY.....we all had a good laugh at that....getting threatened by a tripped out earthy-cr
  8. yeah some good stuff those years....glad yer back Lam
  9. Hmmmmm.....checked that out, sounds interesting. Gonna have to take yer advice. Thanks MR.!
  10. Hey....anyone have a spare $40K I can borrow I want this
  11. Exactly what BWW said......I hardly ever go downtown anymore except for events and it is kind of cheezy, but it's a fun kind of cheezy especially if you have never been and it's worth a look.
  12. Your van eh? Microbus or souped up 70's style with the lift kit and shag carpeting and a waterbed in the back? That video ( Downhill ) is actually pretty good. As discussed before I'm not a big fan of the 80's-90's Dead but those were definately smoking shows. Lots of energy evident just from watching the video. Thats the thing about that time period that always gets me. Shows were hit and miss. Some nights the boys would just groove and other nights they just seemed to be phoning it in. There weren't a lot of consistently great nights....but thats not to say that there weren't some r
  13. There is a killer version of West LA on the Downhill From here video. Jerry is really rocking out in that one....may be the best version I've ever heard
  14. It did get pretty crazy....I stopped going to shows in 92 or so and only went to JGB shows....great tunes different vibe. I remember the good old days back in late 70's early 80's when you could walk up to the arena the night of a show and get a ticket, no one was getting too crazy, and the vibe was way more mellow......whattya gonna do?
  15. You are thinking of Gruhn Guitars. It's at 400 Broadway, but isn't open on Sundays......gruhn link. When they say district they are talking about lower Broadway. Pretty much 2nd through 4th aves. That is considered downtown as far as the sites to see goes. There are other areas of interest however. The West End area (about a mile or two down south on Broadway) is where Vanderbilt University is, there are some good places to eat and drink there. Green Hills is further south of downtown and is an upscale area with some good eateries. Belle Meade is the ritzy part of town and there are some inte
  16. Nah it wasn't Manning coming kind of unglued in the 3rd quarter or their horrible clock management.... or the 'Jints giving up what 22 unanswered points?
  17. Casting the vote for 78. I never get tired of watching that. You knew they were gonna tear it up being the last gig at Winterland. And I second the happy new year (weir) to everyone as well.
  18. I just got back from seeing this movie. I loved it, thought it was very well done. My 2 cents.....Consider the title "No Country For Old Men". One of the themes I see in this movie is the despair by the older folks. Tommy Lee Jones pondering retirement because he feels overwhelmed, the sherrif in El Paso going on about how the world is changing, people have no respect, etc...I thought the message is that as time progresses the old gaurd feels like they have no place. The morals, ideals, and everything they are used to are going away, replaced by a new generation with its own ideals and moral
  19. Damn...seems to be a lot of bad news around here the past day or so. Vibes to all who need them right now.
  20. I was in college in Vermont at the time of that Super Bowl. Started out pretty good then BAM! Add to that the debacle of the 1986 Red Sox meltdown in thw WS and it was some bleak times for Boston Fans. Of course the Celts won the NBA that year so all was not lost. Now some 20 years later things are looking very good for Beantown teams.
  21. Hmmmmm.....here is what pops into mind Drums "Moby Dick" Led Zeppelin Bass "Help On The Way" Grateful Dead Guitar "Voodo Child" Jimi Hendrix (I like the live versions best) Keys "Caravan" Van Morrison
  22. agreed.......thats a really nice help>slip. Also at the end during We Bid You Goodnight theres some interesting very light instrumentation going on in the background. It's a 76 show but there is a slight flashback kind of quality to 72-74 throughout.
