Probably no Quine and Lloyd: http://www.angelfire.com/il2/sweetsounds/sweet3.htm January 1992 WXPN World Cafe: Philadelphia, PA (date unknown) winona divine intervention nothing lasts Matthew is solo acoustic, a very chilling version of nothing lasts February 2, 1992 - Philadelphia,PA @ Trocadero Shares the bill with Robyn Hitchcock February 4, 1992 - New Haven, CT @ Toad's Place Divine Intervention I've been waiting when I feel again Winona Does She Talk?

I'm pretty sure it was just Julian but the 18 years has made that foggy. Did Quine and Lloyd tour that record? If so, they may have been there as it was just after the record came out.

Slightly off topic but this thread got me thinking of the 1st time I saw him. I guess it was '92 and he was opening for Robyn Hitchcock at the Troc in Philly. The place was jammed at 7pm for Matthew as WXPN had playing a lot of the record and there was a huge buzz. I guess there was no soundcheck because Matthew and his band came out and kind of tuned up/jammed/made a lot of noise for about 5 minutes before launching into Divine Intervention. They then proceeded for 50 minutes or so to run through most of Girlfriend and just totally killed. One of the more exciting sets I've ever seen as

My Special Child - Sinead O'Connor. Stunning song

Amoreena is the shit.

You really like that tune? I'm one of the biggest R.E.M. fans there is and there aren't many of their IRS songs I don't like but coming after I Believe and all the other great tunes that come before it, that song to me is just a buzzkill. The Pageant sessions were defintely not one of their most prolific writing periods as the had to reach back to '84 for Hyena and earlier for Just A Touch and What If. Too bad they didn't finish PSA Bad Day at the time or choose All the Right Friends instead of What If....

Been thinking about this for awhile and it seems every record I love has one cut that to me makes it flawed. Examples are Quadrophenia (Dirty Jobs) Abbey Road (Octopus' Garden) Automatic for the People (Monty Got A Raw Deal) Lifes Rich Pageant (What if We Give it Away) Being There (Kingpin, like the live version much better) Wish You Were Here (Welcome to the Machine, just kind of long and boring to me) and the list goes on. All of those are huge albums in my life but don't make it because of that one tune. That all being said, here we go: Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Brian Wilson - Smile The

Led Zeppelin for me. When Plant actually sings, i.e. Thats The Way, I love it. When he screaches i.e. Immigrant Song, I can't stand it. I think I'd have to put Pearl Jam on this list too (ducks)

Thanks, I forgot that I had "And I Feel Fine" but that was what scared me off of these remasters, that thing is awful. They ruined Accelerate which maybe has the best batch of R.E.M. songs since Automatic with that crazy loud mastering too. Fables could stand a remastering and maybe a remxing too as long as it's tasteful; as you said, it is a pretty murky record. I'm scared to think what the remasters' will do to Pageant and Document as they are loud to begin with. I'll probably pick this up for the bonus disk anyway, I'm surprised they didn't include Theme From Two Steps onward which

Huge R.E.M fan but have stayed away from the remasters due to a general avoidance of current remasters because of the loudness wars, and preferring the originals. My question goes to the other question. Are these just turned up to 11 or is it worth it? I know there have been some answers that they are worth but I'd like to know what is better about these remasters. Also, as an FYI, the bonus cut "Throw the Trolls Away" is actually "When I Was Young" which is listed on the original Fables inner sleave but dropped at the last moment. It was then improved to become I Believe on Lifes Rich

I'm 1/2 of your demo, 41 but I wouldn't call my bank account hefty :-) I don't think any of this is from 80-81, he has scarfe doing new animation and puppets and I believe the old Wall was only half the length of the new one and got wet sitting in a warehouse (seriously.)

I won't argue that some of these prices for the front 10 rows are crazy but we all know the alternative is that these tix end up in the hands of brokers and go for obscene prices anyway. At least this way you would think the artist gets some of it. I personally don't think it's a money grab when you look at comps in the industry. When I saw Wilco open for Neil Young in 2008 at the spectrum, the good seats were $225. Now I like Neil and all but that show was basically 4 old men standing still and playing 3 chords. This Wall tour is going to be on a level probably never seen in rock conc

I know, I love Dennis' songs on BB records but his record doesn't do it for me. People on the BB boards fawn over the thing but outside a few of the tracks I don't think it's that great. I'll take Pet Sounds any day but it is a different animal than the other records. Liking Smiley Smile, have you checked out thr Brian Wilson Smile? Talk about enjoyable records.

Maybe I missed it on the other threads but are they doing the acoustic or electric spiders in the Austrailia/NZ shows? Are they doing any stripped down set at all?

Thanks. Yes, that's the Eyes from Without a Net with Branford, my all time favorite nice weather song. I've seen reviews where Gaucho is rated the "worst" of the 1st 7 Dan records. I don't see it, may be my favorite. I think Aja's probably a better record but if I had to pick a record to listen to of the 2 of them, I think I'd take Gaucho. Related exactly to the threads point, Aja has the critical acclaim but i think I enjoy Gaucho more. As for the Beach Boys, I could have filled the list with their stuff, especially the '67 to '73 period, maybe the most under-appreciated/under-rated c

We always called them "sunny day" albums. Records you wanted to listen to on and 80 degree day with the windows down. Albums: R.E.M. - Lifes Rich Pageant, Green Beach Boys - Pet Sounds, Sunflower (and just about anything else) Steely Dan - Gaucho (Babylon Sisters at 7pm with cool breeze, nothing better) Songs: They Don't Know - Kirsty McColl version or Tracy Ullman version, doesn't matter Grateful Dead - Eyes of the World 3/29/90 Warren Zevon - Desperado's Under Eaves There's a ton more but that's what popped into my head 1st..

I'm am still strictly CD for all purchases. I just don't see the point in paying for MP3's when I can buy the higher quality CD for around the same price, get the artwork and then rip to MP3 anyway if I wan't to. I'll buy an MP3 in the rare instance when I specificallly only want one song by an artist but this maybe has happened 5 times ever. When I want to listen to sepcific CD, I just pull it off of the rack. I did get my first ipod last month for one reason; with all the shows I've been downloading lately, it just got to be way too cumbersome to transfer all of them from Flac to CD, es

The festival, which will be hosted by much-loved folk deejay Gene Shay, this year will continue to evolve with an intergenerational lineup, highlighted by a rare solo appearance by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, as well as veteran blues and folk-rock heavyweights Taj Mahal and Richard Thompson.

Prices are $55 to $250. Kinda in the expected ballpark. These are NY area dates so hopefully other cities will be a little less.

It's related because if the prinicpal in a band doesn't like a specific city, that could influence what they play, how they feel about the crowd and generally effect the overal performance. Don't lump us in with that other asshole; christ, it's the 3rd page of a thread where just about everything that could be said about the show has been. Thanks for the input.

Why do you say that? Not saying I disagree, I've wondered the same myself but curious why you think that.

Scranton was great, I put Montclair night 2 in the top 20 shows I ever saw. This may have been better. Jeff did a lot of ball busting in the acoustic set about the talkers (when you have a ga show where there are alot of people in the back with no great view, I'm not sure how it's avoidable) but when they went back to the electric set set, the crowd participation, specifically in Hate it Here and Jesus, seemed to energize the band and the show just took off. Sorry no, set list but they played all of YHF minus Kamera, Radio Cure and reservations, and if I remember right, 4 from AM including

Check 'em outm they're very good. The Genesis thread in this section has some discussion about them.

I'm figuring $150 to $250. What the fuck, you only live once. And if the production is spectacular with quad sound all the puppets, marching band etc, I think it would be worth the money. Aren't big broadway productions around $150?

Lucky man, were you close enough to really see anything? I would be there in a second to see Genesis play Lamb too but I really think the band Musical Box has intimitated them to a certain degree and that Genesis doesn't think they could be as good as they are now.
