My tix for Chicago said 7:30, they took the stage at 9. Not sure who's opening. If it's Whiskey Myers, you're not missing anything. Enjoy!

I really need to explore the pre-Daydream Nation stuff these guys put out. I love that LP so much.

Mick Jagger is a singular phenomenon. Damn! Not sure what was going on with some miscommunications about setlist or other issues. Keith disappeared briefly early on and that kind of freaked me out. Highlight was definitely Monkey Man. One of my favorite (slightly) deep cuts. I'm very glad I went and had a good time with friends. Having said that, I'd follow McCartney on tour (or at least 5-10 more shows) if I had unlimited funds. Can't say the same about the Stones. What'd you think about night 2?

Yesterday, as I walked along the Chicago Riverwalk, The Northman seemed to be playing nothing but Wilco, heard I If Ever Was a Child and Heavy Metal Drummer, the latter while walking west with the Marina Towers in the background. Kinda cool.

The Rolling Stones

Y'all are getting me quite excited for Tuesday!

Tuesday for me!

I was picturing the interaction between Nicky Katt and Adam Goldberg on Dazed & Confused.

I had the same experience when I told him how much I like it when Wilco plays ITMWLY live.

I bought that LP thinking it would be the Rolling Thunder Revue version. Nope. Pretty much sucks, IMO.

Pretty sure I was introduced to that song by that video. It took me a while to adapt to the Blood on the Tracks version.

Missed posting yesterday. Saw McCartney in Madison, WI. Well worth it. Three hours. Great setlist (Helter Skelter was a highlight). INCREDIBLE energy from a guy who turns 77 later this month.

This... A thousand times over!

And skinny as hell!

The latest episode of the Sound Opinions Podcast featured 3 Feet High and Rising. I'm glad I was able to burn my CD. It's hard to find for streaming. https://www.soundopinions.org/show/704

Gah!! How could I forget?!?

Nope. A horrible metal opener (he was touring the metalish LP, Instinct) called Balaam & the Angel.

Any chance you, or anyone else here for that matter, was at the Iggy show at Metro in July '88? My two best friend from H.S. road tripped from Des Moines for that show. Thirty-one years later we're still telling stories.

Thought about citing these, but there were just a few tracks on each that were memorable to me.

Some other I really liked Michael Penn - March Smithereens - 11 fIREHOSE - fROMOHIO

David Bowie's social media people have been pushing the 30th anniversary of Tin Machine. That's reminded me how many albums came out that year that I really liked: Tin Machine - S/T Bob Mould - Workbook (to this day, my favorite) Lou Reed - New York Neil Young - Freedom Pixies - Doolittle De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever Stone Roses - S/T Replacements - Don't Tell a Soul (not one of their best, obviously, but I saw them in June of '89 when I'd first started dating my wife, emotionally attached) XTC - Oranges & Lemons Indigo Gi

I saw that one too. I prefer May to February mostly because of that light at the end of the tunnel.

The arch is kind of an adventure in a tornado warning with a 13 year old afraid of heights. That's what I learned last year.

Today started with a power outage at my school after rough storms last night. If our kitchen wasn't up and running by 9:00, we were going to dismiss. Everything came back online around 8:55.
