  1. Seems like a really time for Neil not to either tour or release some music...I guess we will see him the RRHOF with Pearl Jam. I wonder what he is going to do next...Crazy Horse, CSNY, Solo, Promise......
  2. It was great.....I don't think it was that far off the truth as far as Bennett issues but yes we all know Wilco did evolve after YHF but pretty cool that the writer (or whoever came up with this scene) had the Jeff and Jay story. We should come up with list of references in shows and movie (not just when they play as song but when they actually talk about it). Other one I remember with How I met Your Mother (the threesome episode).
  3. I agree ticketmaster is not good but know that it is the artist that makes these decisions on this and in fact the "ticketmaster fee" is also shared with the artists/promoter. Live Nation/Ticketmaster controls it. The artist can do it however they want. Look at Springsteen/the Stones. Bruce has like 2 prices and $125 is top.....stones $300/$500 min lower level.
  4. Blue Sky with Skydog....what could be better. They only did it 3 times I think
  5. I wonder we Steve is not involved? Looks a little like a reach but sounds pretty good.
  6. Artists are in bed with Ticketmaster...so don't believe that all those fees go to TM. To piggy back on above see lefsetz letter that talks about it. http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/2017/01/12/robbie-williams-kerfuffle/
  7. Private gig? check out the boats all in one place...insane. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jimdobson/2016/12/26/billionaire-superyacht-showdown-whos-who-in-st-barts-for-new-years/#47dffa384592
  8. This video is great. All the ones from Tattoo You are classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKLVmBOOqVU Bonus points for anyone that knows the significance of the building at the beginning.
  9. Terrible. Was one of those artists that grew over time. Listen without prejudice was really great
  10. I agree and I don't think that the HOF is a fraud. Do they have any room for improvement, for sure. They need to diversity that is a fact. Many genres need more in (Heavy Metal, New Wave/post punk, soul). I think that this year nominations were pretty good (19 in total). The voting peeps are out of touch (not the nomination committee).
  11. Steve Perry is the wild card this year....Jon wants in, so he will get in (at least for the ceremony). PJ is deserved for first time eligible (a rare thing). The only act that is getting this year that has been previously nominated is Yes. All others are first time nominated. I was hoping for 7 so maybe the Cars would get in or J Giels. Shame that Chic could not crack the voters (nominated 11 times). I guess they finally gave up and will give Nile a "musical excellence". The other moral is if they want to get more Hip Hop in (rappers), they need to only nominate 1 at a time.
  12. Allman Brothers Mountain Jam Fillmore East 1971
  13. Want to add a few others that I still think about Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff beck. SVR was sick David Bowie. 2 times. Serious moonlight tour. Philly spectrum. Drove from sleep away camp. Sang ashes to ashes in some kind of tube. Epic. Then at the edge in Fort Lauderdale which is now Revolution. Place holds 500 or so. Crazy packed. U2 was on trip to see my uncle in San Diego and looked to see who was in town. Start of Joshua tree tour. BAD Cheap Trick at Dubs in Gainesville. Girlfriend (now my wife) fake ID did not get in. I drove her back to apartment and went back to the sh
  14. Not sure favorite but a few jump out. 1. Live Aid 2. Page / Plant (the first tour)...never seen so many happy people with grins ear to ear 3. Wilco, The first Tour when they did "Evening with Wilco"...Fillmore in Miami Beach was the first night. 4. Neil Young - Smell the Horse Tour"...on the rail. 5. Drive By Truckers - Langerado Lae Night at Culture Room...Jason still in band...stood on stage for first 3 songs (friend got a photo pass). 6. Van Halen - 1984 - In High School, found tickets on floor in parking lot. So many more...hard to narrow down...above are some memories I am havin
  15. Not sure I ever heard the hazard version and it says on wiki that he only recorded a demo. Curious to hear it
  16. I remember hearing Soul Man done by the Blues Brothers and although it sounded like and older song had never heard it before that.
  17. LOL I was thinking the same thing...but I guess if you got into the Hair Metal thing and were in middle school and had parents that did not "educate"....
  18. Just remembered. Bon iver open for wilco in Florida a few years back.
