Yes, actually. I saw them live and it was painful. Holy crap, it was painful.

what in the world... thats not chicago... thats way the heck in hoffman estates... off the 90!!! thats about 3 hours from chicago, on a bad day.

I lived in Elgin for 9 years and worked in the city. 4 hours minimum in the car every day baby! This is why I now live in Wisconsin.....

i'm seriously excited for acoustic foo fighters.

no offense, but excited and acoustic Foo Fighters in the same sentence just sounds odd. Yes I have heard that cool acoustic Everlong they did, but a whole show by them this way does not interest me in the least, especially when I just want to see Dylan. The crowd mix should be interesting to say the least. Can't wait to hear what the 13 year old girls think of Bobby croaking out Lenny Bruce or Sugar Baby.

How can you hate Pet Sounds?

I don't know! This has bothered me for years. I eat, sleep, drink music and since I can remember I have been brought up to think this is one of the best discs of all time. I have owned it since I was a kid and every year give it at least one spin, and everytime it leaves me totally flat and annoyed. I must say I do not like the Beach Boys at all, but I can appreciate a lot of music that I personally don't like to listen to. Maybe I need a Pet Sounds intervention.

finally a good rip of this has been posted on oink

 

sounds SOOOOOO much better than the old rip too

Now THIS is the news of the day!!!!

How great is that last track on this CD!? A new masterpiece from Bob...

Crap, Madison gets the freaking Foo Fighters

What wacko put this tour together? And what the heck is the Sears Ctr in Chicago?? I've only been out of state for 2 years and I've never heard of it.

The Beta-Band weren't that good live either though. Saw them play at The Fridge in Brixton and it was pretty dull. Although I liked all their recorded stuff, I don't think they ever did anything to match the first three eps.

 

I'd like to hear The Aliens new album though.

Man, I saw The Beta Band twice at The Metro in Chicago and thought they were fantastic both times. I will really miss that band. They should have been huge!

I'm not buying yet another copy of this disc, but the extras and goodies are pretty cool.

anyway,

dcd

I am going to go out on a limb and that I have always hated this album. I NEVER understood the praise and still don't. I keep thinking as I get older I will "get it" but it never happens. Is it just a production thing for people?

Rollin' & Tumblin' is disposable?

That one sounds like filler to me big time. First of all, it's a cover that has been done to death, right? Actually, that is the only one that I don't like at all.

there's a poor sounding 128kbps rip, make sure to stay away from that

So this thing has leeked and not one review on it here?? What's up with that? I had no idea it was out there...

"crickets"

I have almost all of them, this is the best

 

Get Painful & And then Nothing turned itself Inside Out after that

NO love for Electr-O-Pura??? I think that is my favorite next to I can hear the heart...

just stick with ATDI

That is the correct answer!!!

Mars Vola is SO boring I can't stand it. The music sounds so busy but there is really nothing going on in it. I really dislike them....

Here is a Slate piece on Dylan and Keys

That was the most pointless article I think I've ever read. This is actually news that Dylan has her name in a song??? I'm sure it's just another crazy inside Bob joke that only he understands.

I have always found it a bit weird that they put a track from the last show on the So Many Roads boxset.

Well, the track is called So Many Roads. Have you listened it?! The most moving Jerry vocals I have EVER heard. I listen to that and I hear a man singing as if his life depended on it. It is very hard for me to listen to.

Or lately, Ryan Adams.

 

Their influence is far and wide.

The weirdest thing about that is Phil Lesh has been playing a couple of Adam's song every night with Joan Osbourn singing them. Phil apparently really likes Ryan.

What the hell is this? This song is terrible.

Acording to a post by Ryan, this is just as demo he had laying around. NOT new material or anything. That said, I think it rocks! But I liked his Rock and Roll record so what do I know. Anyone catch his set at Lollapolosa?? It was fantastic! The torrent of an ASX file is up at the RyanAdamsArchive.

speaking of the dead,

I bought "Europe '72" not long ago, and as I listened I thought "dang, this is wilco." The similarity in sound at places is uncanny.

?????????

Back to the topic of the thread, here are some rants from the other day.....

Here's Adams replies to the total bashing he was taking over there

about the short show in Knoxville.

KNOXVILLE TRUTH

Author: Ryan 7/27/06 4:32:43 AM

the reality is...every show has a curfew. fucking fact. I keep

seeeing or hearing this childish bullshit and i will settle it for

once and for all.

The Venue or whatever venue we are playing, have employees. they

have staff. we have a roadcrew and driving time and onyl so many

hours to get our equpitment rig packed before these people go home.

Also theaters have CURFEWS...they do. esp. seated venues.

Knoxville had a strict 11-00 curfew. it was no smoking and 11 firm.

we get charged money by the minute after the time we are to be off.

because the bartenders and staff all have lives and familys and it

takes time to close the venue up and get things set up for the next

show.

i left the stage AFTER 11. 5 minutres after. I respect house rules

because i want to be able to play places again and not burn

promoters and not fuck over house staff.

I talked about this before but nobody listens. Whatevewr i had to

say at the end of the show was just that. and of course something

else.

it has no effect on the gig,

and you know, i am happy to play all fucking night. its why we ride

all that way to play. thats what i want to do. play.

not fucking talk about heartbreaker by the bus, not fucking listen

to some drunk rant about god knows what, ive been there done that. i

want to play. aside from tuning issues because the a.c. changed alot

from soundcheck to gig, there was alot of focus and we opted for

some other songs than the set list tunes because like all bands we

adapt to the surroundings and our shit was screwey. so we did our

thing and kept it rolling.

and i am so sick off the whole "he talked too much, didnt talk

enough shit" it means nothing,

I am not on tour to be your friend, I am on tour to be in the

cardubaks and sing and play guitar and get first place on galaga.

thats it.

so stop it with all this projecting drama on us in here. some of you

people are so crazy. you dont know us. just listen to the music,

its just some tunes.

sheesh

Re: KNOXVILLE TRUTH

Author: Ryan 7/27/06 4:53:53 AM

well. you know. i just want to play and have a kick ass time on

stage with the lovelys up there and go and play some video games and

have some quiet time.

our best gigs happen when people are the most chill. you know, its

weird because i am not a famous person but i have trouble just

hanging round sometimes without people getting stirred up. i think

its trhat whole entertainment tonight celebrity mag type b.s.

culture spilling over to the rock world or something.

i wouldnt dare bother another musician unless you know, i needed to

borrow something. or they were hot. ha.

seriously though, the bus is our ride man. its not THE STAGE PART 2.

we gotta live outta that shit while we are rolling. people gotta

have some respect.

besides, i dont like talking about music when im not on stage. i

just want to be left alone.

and that shit was NOT FUCKING happening in Knoxville. nice folks but

a bit hammered overall it seemed and i couldeent get food before we

left and shake hands and babies too. and i needed to get set up

before our drive.

so thats that.

its all cool.

youd think we walked in that place and just vomited on stage and

left after how they talked about it.

def. not coming back to knoxville after this. couldnt care less.

DEAR KNOXVILLE FANS

Author: Ryan 7/27/06 5:27:27 AM

OK

NOW I AM PISSED.

I READALL YOUR FUCKING COMPLAINTS.

WE DID NOT CUT THE RFUCKING SET SHORT. THE CURFEW TIME THE CREW TOLD

US WAS 11OCLOCK. YOUR LOCAL VENUE WANTED A 90MINUTE SET.

IF YOU DIDNT LIKE THE SHOW, WHY WAS EVERYBODY HAVING SUCK A GOOD

TIME CHEERING AND GETTING BOMBED AND CALLING OUT SONGS?

FUCK OFF

I DONT GIVE A FUCK. YOU THINK I WANTED TO PLAY ONLY 90 minutes. THAT

I WOULD TRAVEL ALL THAT WAY TO HAVE A SHORT SHOW??????

WHATEVER.

ITS OBVIOUS WHY BANDS STOP COMING THERE. CUFEW TIMES AND FUCKED UP

STUDENTS WHO DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT PERSONAL SPACE MEANS. I PLAYED,

THEY HOUSE HAD ITS RULES, WE LEFT.

SO DONT WORRY.

I WONT BOTHER NEXT TIME. SERIOUSLY. I WILL PLAY SOMEWHERE ELSE AND

WILL SLEEP LIKE A FUCKING BABY AS WE ROLL PAST YA.

ltr.

I think Ryan Adams is planning on releasing all of these albums next year.....

 

he's going for the record.

Well, he recently said that Lost Highway just rejected the 3 discs he just recorded so who knows....

Yes, I'm way late to the party on these guys but I cannot stop listening to their newest CD. Sort of like an Arcade Fire/My Bloody Valentine/Polyphonic Spree mix. They sure don't sound like anyone else out there. I'm off to get their debut next. If it is half as good as this new one, I'll be in heaven. What is the consensis around here on this band?

1. Up

2. Around The Sun

3. Reveal

Very funny...

Here's mine:

1. Fables of the Reconstruction

2. Murmur

3. Life's Rich Pagent

1. Green (I can't believe how little love this album gets, it is such an amazing album, Hairshirt, World leader pretend,I remember california,You are the everything...)

 

 

Stand ruins everything else on that record...

Like most "normal" people, I have not heard this (as it's not in stores until next Tuesday

I would bet "normal" now is actually downloading instead of going to a store to purchase music. Look at the sales figuers for the last Springsteen or Chili Peppers discs. I'd bet the people that downloaded those discs instead of purchasing them is double that. I'm not saying it's right, just the way it is these days.

I really must pick that up... I wonder if there's one for a half decent price on ebay...

 

Had another listen to the album last night - I'm sticking with my initial observation; it's good, but not great and I'm definitely disappointed with the production and "feel" of it, there's not quite enough GO in the record for me...

I agree. After 5 or so listens this disc iseems no way as strong as the rest of his catalog. I hope time and more listens with prove me wrong.

yep yep, really friggin' great too

 

makes me forget how bland Last DJ & Echo were

It is good but I don't think it is as good as those. I must be the only one in the world who loved Last DJ and Echo! The final track on Last DJ is just fantastic.
