See both, but I only have tickets to night #2. During the first run at the Auditorium, I thought the first night sounded better, but the second night was longer. LouieB

Both are quite good. LouieB

i got these two also. My SMR is actually a cut out. Go figure. Wild Man I found for $1 somewhere or maybe free. Also on the list, many of the Mothers of Invention on Verve. LouieB

You just talked me out of buying it then..... How about You

I had no idea...thanks for the info. Sad time. LouieB

I have a copy and I can tell you it is great....... LouieB

The Fugs on ESP..... LouieB

TG picked that up at Amobe in Hollywood last summer I think. LouieB

Warner reissue of the Dial sessions of Charlie Parker. Lots of other stuff really. LouieB

I know that feeling.... LouieB

I was afraid of that.... LouieB

Buy em and give them to your family to give to you...works for me.... LouieB

Hey now... Absolutely..... Calling a white person a cracker may not be as bad as the "n word" but it also can't be construed as in good taste either.... LouieB

There is so much talk about how great vinyl records are and let's be honest, Rod sold a ton of albums in his heyday on Mercury, so don't bother with the CD set and go seek out the original releases. They can't be that hard to find. LouieB

Too much gob and not enough iron??? LouieB

Be greedy. Otherwise hit your local used record store for stacks of solo Stewart for relatively small money. LouieB

Happy Birthday!!! (this may be late.) LouieB

that good huh? LouieB

Hey friends and VC neighbors. How about a trek to see Von Freeman at the New Apartment on the 26th of December. I have made this mid-holiday week gig a few times and it is usually a really good time, with a larger crowd than usual and lots of singers and crazy stuff going on. Anyone interested? LouieB

Well at least someone read this to find my major gaffe. You are correct. I have no idea what I was thinking (or do you....???) Considering I get on the el at Lawrence nearly every day of my life, I have no idea why I made that mistake. Oh yes and Greektown is always worth the ride. LouieB

Damn, that is small even for the Park West. Lately so much has been going on in Chicago that small shows have abounded. (Not for the hot acts though....but then Gob Iron and Jay Farrar are hardly hot.)

Rest rooms for both are in the basement. Neither are close to the front of the theater. Oh I forgot, there is a bathroom in the balcony at the Vic. Both the Riv and the Vic are old theaters, one is just bigger than the other (the riv is bigger and slightly grungier.) LouieB

Many times.... LouieB

Actually Rangel has been talking about this for at least a year, maybe more. LouieB

Due to Mark's work on any number of soundtracks he may be the richest mothersbaugh ever.... LouieB
