If YHF wins the popular vote it is still possible for the Electoral College (the band) to pick Being There, right? They could also play YHF in its entirety over both nights, perhaps in 2-song increments. I was hoping for some YHF shows a few years back, around the time of its tenth anniversay when album shows were coming into vogue again. I also agree with those who posted that A Ghost Is Born would be great to hear as a whole.

Well, Neil was the original pick, and he really had a huge impact on PJ, helping them out in the mid-90s when it seemed they might fall apart any moment. PJ were originally Stone and Jeff's band, but Eddie bore the brunt of celebrity (stalkers etc) and also seemed to be taking over control of the band musically as well. I recently read an interview where one of the band members said that Neil taking PJ (minus Ed) on tour as his band for Mirrorball really helped remind them of their value as musicians. I don't know that Pete had that kind of mentor role across the board with the band. They'd a

I just posted this in the SS thread but here again is Joan Shelley. Jeff Tweedy is producing her upcoming album, and she's currently on tour with Richard Thompson. Tiny Desk Concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VATGBUBkrUc

I saw Joan Shelley tonight, opening for Richard Thompson. Really enjoyed her set and bought one of her CDs.Great voice, nice guitar sounds, and good lyrics.

Yes, that's it.

Bitching about the bands that are not on the shirt of the bands that are not in the hall of fame. LOL.

Video of Entire Pearl Jam segment - speeches and songs. Such a great celebration and very cool to see Dave Krusen play with them on Alive. He seemed genuinely touched by the opportunity.

A couple more: After the Sunday show of SS '13, friends of mine asked me to join them for dinner. They didn't have a long drive home but I did. I went out anyway, and we went to a Mediterranean place down the street from the Mohawk Theater. The food was good, and we were entertained by the owner's daughter (8-ish years old?) who came by our table so often to dance or be silly with her kinda-shy friend. It was great to have a quiet, casual, relaxed meal after the hubbub of the event. I ended up leaving town around 9:15pm for a 3+ hour drive home. But I had the company of the rising supermoon b

Just passing through the courtyard during Lucius's last or second to last song and thinking "Oh, this actually sounds pretty cool." I had never heard them before, but I've now been to a dozen or so of their shows.

Pete Townshend, even if all he did was write Quadrophenia. Throw in Who's Next, and thenTommy... Who comes up with such epic material in just a 3-4 year period? Los Lobos... I've been following those guys for a long time. Kinda forget they were so young and baby-faced with full heads of hair not that long ago. Or, shit, 1987 now is a long long time ago. So glad they are still at it, and cranking out new music from time to time. One Time One Night is one of the all-time best songs ever. Will the Wolf Survive is another great one.

Joe DiMaggio's Done It Again Blasting Fonda My Darling Pieholden Suite Do alternate versions count? They started playing Camera a few years ago but I'd have preferred Kamera (Fuzz Mix).

Great show, I would enjoy hearing this setlist again. Interesting to hear CA Stars mid-set, and Misunderstood back in the early portion again. After Reservations>Impossible Germany>CA Stars I half-expected Jeff to say "Thanks, good night!"... .There was a mix of audience standing/sitting for the first 2 or 3 songs, then after that it was pretty much all standing, at least what I could see on the floor. Jeff seemed to be digging on the audience for the sitting/standing issue, which perhaps was a problem the other nights but didn't seem deserved this night.... Getting into the venue was sm

Thanks, tapers. How are you getting your gear through the door? I've heard it's not allowed and one security guy at the door told me no recording equipment allowed. Just wondering what the magic words are if I should try.

The Hall's rules seem arbitrarily applied. It is weird that neither drummer from Vs through Yield, the era of the band's ascendancy to rock stardom, is inducted with the band. PJ are certainly at a new level of rock celebrity now but as a live band, as their studio output hasn't been as great since the 1990s. Very good, but not as great. They could get into the hall on the first three albums alone, if a case could be made for the inclusion of Dave A who drummed on two of those records. They wouldn't get in just on any three albums with Matt Cameron. Matt certainly deserves to be in there for h

The El - Rhett Miller. Though I suppose it is as much a train song as is Far, Far Away

Please Hold On While the Train is Moving - Old 97s Old Familiar Steam - Old 97s I'm a Trainwreck - Old 97s Runaway Train - Soul Asylum Runaway Train - Adam's House Cat (proto-Drive By Truckers) Monkey and the Engineer - On the Grateful Dead covers list, but I wanted to single it out as one of my favorites Down - perhaps the closest thing to a Pearl Jam train song, which borrows the line "You can't be neutral on a moving train" from Howard Zinn End of the Line - Travelling Wilbury's. Does that count? I think of "end of the line" as a "train expression." Also, Freight Train by Sister Doubl

Yeah, event bright? Was I buying tickets or was it just telling everyone on facebook I'm going? LOL. Entering gender/birthdate/age for buying tix? That was new. I wonder if the will-call option is just the wrist-band or if they will indeed provide an actual hard-copy ticket.

Not sure if we have a "Wilco seen while out and about" thread or not, so dropping this here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNuUVNChdGk/?taken-by=baseballcardvandals

Well, I've been listening to Temple of the Dog non-stop since I saw them last month. I had a copy on tape back in the day, but only liked 2 or 3 songs. Never got into Soundgarden/Cornell. But now I'm all over this one. It commonly takes seeing a band live for me to really dig their latest album, but that's usually not long after the record comes out, a few months maybe, not 25 years later, LOL. A more realistic example would be Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, generally regarded as Mark Lanegan's finest solo album, and probably better than anything by Screaming Trees. Back in the mid-late 1990s I

I have been having firefox issues overall for the last week or so. Runs sluggish at work, and seems to have some kind of complete java incompatibility issue at home, rendering certain buttons and videos on websites totally inoperable. To the point I had to download and install chrome if I want to buy something. I've heard from other people with similar issues, basically that "firefox is bloated" now and no longer such a reliable browser. Took me ~15-20 mins, but I scored rear orchestra for Sun & Weds. at Beacon Theater. I'm cool with that, especially as orchestra was less expensive than l
