Yet another Rolling Stone list - this time the Greatest Live Acts Right Now. Wilco at number 12. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/50-greatest-live-acts-right-now-20130731

That may be true but worth noting that the Dave Matthews Band are very much a US phenomena and virtually unknown outside the US. By contrast Wilco have a strong international following and play to decent sized audiences throughout Europe, Australia, Japan etc - as well as playing a bunch of festivals most years outside the US. i'm based in Australia and Wilco have toured hear regularly every two or three years for the last decade playing packed shows. I am pretty sure that DMB have only come here once during that time and did not even sell out their one show in Sydney. So my guess is t

Great actor. Brilliant as the mob boss in my favourite movie Midnight Run.

Keith Richards absolutely butchering the opening riff to Start Me Up at their Hyde Park concert on Saturday. I know Ronnie is covering a lot for Keith these days - but this is just awful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_CtY_Ix5cQ

I smiled at these quotes on that Dylan board about Robillard's early departure from Dylan's band:

The Cinema of Inappropriate Laughter presents 'The English Patient':

Same. Jagger's energy is amazing for a guy about to turn 70. Plus his voice is in better shape this tour than it has been for years. Maybe he has given up smoking or something. Keef on the other hand is barely going through the motions.

Wonder what the chances of a soundboard recording of this ever emerging? Would love that. Something I never noticed until hearing this show is the is the striking similarity between aspects of 'Marquee Moon' and 'Bull Black Nova'.

So jealous! What a terrific set of covers. Based on the clips that have surfaced on Youtube so far the boys absolutely nailed these songs. How about 'Boys are Back in Town' as an opener with Nels and Pat channelling Brian Downey and Scott Gorham's original twin lead guitar! Can't wait for a full recording of this to surface.

Damn that is sad. Great actor. He totally inhabits that role in The Sopranos. Agree with you Mr Heartbreak that The Sopranos is right up there among the best ever TV shows. Gandolfini helped usher in the golden age of big budget cable TV series we are now living through. RIP.

Rory Gallagher - Tattoo'd Lady:

Haven't seen such high quality footage before from Fillmore East. This is pretty much untouchable:

I wish I was a fisherman tumblin' on the seas far away from dry land and it's bitter memories castin' out my sweet line with abandonment and love no ceiling bearin' down on me save the starry sky above with light in my head with you in my arms... I wish i was the brakeman on a hurtlin fevered train crashin head long into the heartland like a cannon in the rain with the feelin of the sleepers and the burnin of the coal countin the towns flashin by and a night that's full of soul with light in my head with you in my arms... And I know I will be loosened from the bonds that hold me fast and the

RIP. Great bass player - and best sideboards ever:

What a horrible person. The laughing fan-boys in the audience do themselves no favors - although some of it may be nervous laughter.

You are right Jules. Ian Stewart, the Stones original keyboard player, was kicked out of the band n 1963 for not having the right look. But he continued to play keyboards with the band both on record and off-stage during concerts right up until he died in 1985. According to Wiki he played piano on numbers of his choosing throughout tours in 1969, 1975–76, 1978 and 1981–82.

Just checked and the replay 'play now' link does work for users outside Australia. It's a great set list - and nicely recorded.

Great second album by Sydney band Songs (the most un-google-friendly band name in the world!).
