No problem. maybe youve seen it but there is a92-95 highlight torrent floating around as well.

I got it at bt.etree.org If no one is seeding, let me know.

I happen to love this show, you were lucky to have attended. Its a go to show for me if im just looking for some dead to put on and dont want to think too hard about what to listen to. That jack straw would be an all timer if bobby didnt fuck upthe words. Almost perfect first set There is an amazing ultramix out there on the torrent sites.

Thanks a million, that 12/12 rip sounds great. Love that Weight. Only regret is that John didn't take the "Crazy Chester.." verse. My guess is he could do a dead on Danko right there.

"Brian Wilson has an incredible band. We're using most of his band. And we've got [current Beach Boys touring] drummer John Cowsill and our guitarist, Scott Totten. We're kind of blending things together. I think, musically, it's going to be incredible," Love said." This to me is the best decision they could have made. Brian has been trotting out these hits for the last 13 years so the fact that Mike Bruce and Al will be there doesn't make much of a difference to me but at least his band will be there and as nostalgia trips go, this will be kinda cool.

Go for it. I do want to clarify that statement to say i don't think they that have THE 60-70 greatest songs ever, just that their best songs are up there with the best songs in the genre.

Funny that with the break up of R.E.M. I've been thinking about this a little bit. IMO, no American band has a stronger collection of records than they do, and it really isn't a contest. But there are things about the Dead that I think puts them over the top. First, they wrote 60-70 of the greatest songs in rock music history. If Hunter took an active role as a playing member and was more visible to the public at large, he'd be regarded as up there with greats, Dylan, etc and I don't think that's hyperbole. If Jerry has wrote those lyrics, he'd be held up even higher than he already is,

You would, no doubt. Not sure about needing unlimited time as its only really a disk and a half of sessions but you would spend a lot of time with those disks.

That's a good one, thanks.

Yes, very cool. Did it occur to anyone else while watching how cool it would be if stipe and eno colaborated on a record?

Read this, total opposite. Maybe he was off his meds. http://thequietus.com/articles/07351-michael-stipe-s-last-stand-an-r-e-m-exit-interview

Yeah, good move, you should take your mind off of how they have wronged you and allow us continue to pay homage.

A band breaking up should dash your hopes anyway, you don't really need them to say it. If they wanted to tour again, they wouldn't have broken up. I'm assuming you never saw them which is ashame but i think you need to move past anger and just accept that they were around for a long time and now they are not.

So you hate him because REM won't play again?

If i am reading you right, you like the BB version of the 2nd movement because you like their vocals better but 2 of songs don't really have vocals, at least a lead vocal. That's why i like BWPS better. The songs that had vocals are still great and the ones that didn't got finished. My stance up until 2004 was that PS was the best record ever released but what we had from smile was better. IMO, the finished version topped what we had, therefore BWPS = greatest album ever. I agree, i never get tired hearing it. I agree about the sessions, there isn't a group that i have ever come clo

I agree with this. I always thought BWPS was fantastic. I've spent a lot of time with the box this last week but gave BWPS a spin today and for me, it really is the go to Smile. Reasons: it's finished. Even as good as the BB version is, the last 10 yards or so that they took the ball on this to finish it really make such a difference and that difference really is in the lead vocals on songs that didn't have them. Putting the '66 lyrics onto Worms and creating lyrics for Child, Look, Holidays and dada. You knew all these years that listening the vocal less BB versions that these songs w

To me, ATS has 4, maybe 5 good songs. That final three, Electron Blue and maybe Boy In The Well. The rest is a mess. As for b-sides, by my count (my iTunes REM b-sides folder) I have about 250 tracks on there that are officially released, non album tracks. They could be b-sides, contributions to soundtracks or tributes, fan club singles or bonus tracks to re-issues or greatest hits. They aren't all unique songs, theres at least 3 live country feedbacks, but to answer your question, theres a lot out there. I would guestimate theres 150 or so unique songs. I for one hope there isn't som

Well, as for what bands do, this one marched to its own drummer. They didn't tour their 2 most successful records so you can't fault them when they decide not to tour a record (especially when in all likelihood they already had decided to split.) I assume you're sore because you never had the chance to see them and I feel for you but they toured pretty consistently for 30 years so you can't blame them for the luck of the draw of being born when you were or discovering them when you did. If it makes you feel better, I became a big Who fan in 1981, they did a farewell tour in 1982 that I was

I was going to mention that, he was shit drunk, those were some dark days for pete, glad he got through.

To follow up on my earlier recommendation of this thing; if you have been at all obsessed with Smile, buy it. It is so nice to hear it without the tape hiss and the some of the bonus stuff is really cool. It actually isn't the same experience as the Pet Sounds box. On that, with sessions you could hear how the songs evolved in the studio until they got to the final take. With Smile, the thing was so modular and scattered that you don't get that experience. But having clean versions of all of it is a must and as I said, the packaging alone may be worth the price. If anyone can point to

Why are you angry and why are you saying it's a masquerade? They made 15 1/2 records, have close to 250 officially released non album tracks and have God knows how many great sounding shows easily available. Out of those 15 1/2 records, imo, 14 1/2 are at least really good. What more do you want? They have become, through some fault of their own and just natural change, irrelevant in the pop music landscape. They could be (insert dinosaur act here) trotting the hits around the world in sheds and festivals every summer but they chose to go out on their own terms. I agree that they hav

Me too. The Who were my first love, R.E.M. my second but they are equals in my eyes. I like Led Zeppelin too but there is something that for me is repulsive about them. I think it's when Plant sings (screeches) in that high register. I just can't stand it. When they go acoustic, Thats The Way, Hey Hey What Can I Do?, Going to Cali etc, I like them, but Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love, just hate it. Pete was once quoted and referred to Zep as that "Gross disgusting object that is Led Zeppelin." When I saw that quote in the Peel thing, it just cracked me up that he was still taking shot

Good vibrations

im not sure he was saying record companies were great, just that there is an opportunity for apple to fill a void that the labels used to fill as far as nurturing acts. As for back patting, thats Pete, for better or worse. I think he was very coherent, and funny.
