It's birth control!

GD: ~115 from '83-'95 (I didn't keep track, but I went back and counted using DeadBase after Jerry died and that was the number I came up with) Phish: 115 from '89-'03 (totally coincidentally, but that will change come Red Rocks) JGB: ~30 Ween: ~20 Flaming Lips: ~15 YMSB: ~40 Wilco: ~10

I thought of one! Snoop Dogg in Vegas. There were like 15 openers and then Snoop came on stage for about 20 minutes and all he did was go "yeah" and "that's right" ... "yeah."

Wha!?!

I'm sorry, but did you guys not see this!?! This is the friggin' fantastic!

Don't mess with him!

Post of the thread!

I hope he fails.

Hey all, thought I'd bump this for more advice. We have a string band that will be playing the ceremony and the cocktail hour, but we're going to move to a "DJ" (actually it will be a laptop with iTunes that wedding guests will take turns DJing) for the reception. I've got a great selection of tunes already (the stuff we like and listen to on a regular basis), but we feel we need more "fun" tunes. We have things like Michael Jackson, Run DMC, the Bee Gees and Journey in there, but wanted more suggestions. The group will be mostly in their 30's and 40's, so tunes from the '70s & '80s is wha

The problem was they were so preoccupied with timing everything to the light show that the music came out incredibly flat and lifeless. I would've enjoyed Laser Floyd at the Plane - arium more.

So, starting ten minutes ago, I am in an appointment window. From 8:00AM-noon, I am supposed to sit around and wait for a guy to come replace my windshield. Am I not the customer? Is there no one willing to break this mold? I know I would pay a bit more if someone would, at the very least, narrow this window. Why is that so hard? I understand that when I made the appointment a few days ago that they might not be able to give me a more precise timeframe then. But one would think that by last night, they would have their schedule pretty well solidified. Would an email and/or phone call to give t

I have a hard time thinking about what would be the most underwhelming. Maybe I've blocked them out. Two of my most disappointing, though, are listed many times in the "best live" thread: - The '88 Neil Young This Note's For You Tour at Pier 84, NY - Pink Floyd ~'88 at Giant's Stadium

No, I can totally relate.. on both points. You're talking about the Red Rocks Ween/Flips show right? I was there and I concur. Not the best show for the FLips. On the other hand, it was a rockin' Ween show and the flipped bill the week prior was exactly the opposite: great Flaming Lips show and somewhat weak Ween show. So there you go...

This is SUCH a loaded question. IATTBYH, Poor Places, Radio Cure... a bunch of others are all MUCH better in the studio to me. But most of the other album (Summerteeth and BT most notably) suffer from what I like call horrible production and are pretty much unlistenable to me. In the end, I'd have to say: draw.

You should. As I have said, I am pretty fiscally conservative, but I feel that is not license to be completely dogmatic about it. We should strive for what works. Right now, the jury is out and I am having a really hard time being honest with myself about how I feel on "Obama and Fiscal Responsibility." But, I feel this thread is often masturbatory and when i see you have posted it is generally going to provide a break in that. I don't always (often?) agree with you, but I appreciate your perspective.

I rarely look at this thread much, but seeing Jules as the last posted often causes me to check in on it. that said, I read Speed Racer's (Lauren's?) post. I have worked closely with many CEO of billion dollar companies over the past 15 years. Not been in the same building close, but in meetings with these guys. Some companies in which I have had multiple meetings with the CEOs: Sprint, Dana, Arvin (now Arvin-Meritor) amongst other, smaller companies. I will say this. It is not easy and one of the biggest misconceptions is that the little guys do all the work and the higher up you get, the mor

This thread isn't helping to soothe my seething-just-below-the-surface rage that events have conspired to keep me from seeing Radiohead for all these years.

I disagree more with the first than the second. I am huge fan of both bands and I never felt like the FLips "show" detracted from the music. Maybe you saw an off show; maybe it's just not your thing. But really the main reason i replied to your post is Phish. I think most here know I am a big fan, but I can totally relate. I thought they were a much better band when they were playing tight jams that didn't mess around. I thought the later years jams were often lazy with quantity (time) making up for lack of quality. (NOTE: others will argue you need to give these jams time in order to GET to

Okay because no one really cares, I'll share my thoughts on The Return™. I have now listened to all three nights and I have to say by the third night, I was kind of forcing myself to listen. The music was good, solid if not totally inspired. It did have some really nice moments, mostly in unexpected spots. But I have been seeing this band live for 20 years and it will never be the same as it was for me '94 and earlier. My musical tastes are fluid and dynamic and it is amazing when ANY band holds my attention for that long. Very few have. The GD and FZ come to mind (probably no coincidence), bu

Let's not forget that law enforcement LOVE to inflate street volume numbers on these things. For example, they will take the value of a hit of acid (already inflated by them) and then confiscate a sugar cube with liquid (am I dating myself) and instead of calling that one hit, they will weigh the cube and, based on the totally bogus measurement of weight, assign a MUCH higher street value to it. IMO $1.2M is bullshit. Even if every one of the 194 busts was for drugs that equates to over $6K per bust. When was the last time you saw some lot rat with $6K. Doesn't add up. Even lot rats are smarte

I agree. As I said, I was not saying I don't think the writers have this worked out, I was merely responding when it was said that if they DIDN'T address that it would be still believable/plausible that they could all live in the compound with YOung Ben for three years and not realize it. I don't buy that, but it's far FAR from a big deal.

Actually, I think things went better than anyone could have predicted. Drug busts were inevitable, but as far as I know, there were no major incidents such as disruption of the peace. Red Rocks is used to big throngs of hippies as they host Widespread Panic every year for one of the biggest concert events at the Amphitheater every year. The big issue is whether a bunch of ticketless fans will show up and cause a scene. I don't have numbers on how many ticketless fans were at Hampton, but I'll bet there were a bunch. Red Rocks will, of course, draw a lot as well. But I believe Phish ponied up a
