What were your thoughts? I thought their Chicago show was great, but never saw them before, so I have no perspective.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Felt like the encore stuff (basically everything after Joshua Tree) was kinda throwaway though. Loved everything up to that point. Did notice a very peculiar distortion on Bono's vocal throughout the night and have been told that's been going on for most of the tour.

U2 (last night, but whatever)

That Whipping Post from Asheville is hot. Goddamn

Tonight. Should be a good time

Dual question, is it safe to assume there will be a Roadcase tape of the Friday set, and if not do we know of any tapers going? I'm flying up for it but don't really feel like lugging my gear with me

I was near the front of the seated area. I don't understand so many late arrivers getting to their seats 4-5 songs into the set...

Welcome to DC

Can't see Derek talking shit about anything Oteil is involved in. I don't care for Dead and Corp., but you have to give them credit for not using the GD name. 

Yeah, I hadn't thought about that

I assumed he meant D&C as well

Leaked on Monday. Loving it after 4-5 listens. The slower songs are grabbing more than the louder ones at the moment

My favorite of the early records is Beatles for Sale, an odd choice to some, but a record I stand by after spending a lot of time with it.

I've come to seriously love Beatles For Sale. Easily my favorite of the early period (and my current overall favorite). It almost seems as if they were just discovering certain aspects of harmony, particularly vocal harmony. So much parallel motion (and parallel perfect motion at that) that is such a departure from their usual vocal harmonies up to that point. I love it

This one really hit me hard. I'm so glad I got to see him a handful of times. 2 shows on the TOTD tour last year. Such a powerful fucking voice

Won a contest to go to Metallica's last night of pre-tour rehearsals tonight in Baltimore 

Yeah, not happening. New Sensational Space Shifters album

Is there a recording circulating?

It was streaming in the "roadcase" section of the site later in 2008 iirc. Remember seeing it offered at one point

Was worth a shot!

That was my first show, it set the bar REALLY high. 

Was my first as well

I think he can.  Been really into his stuff over the last year or so

The Pepper remix snippets I have heard sound fantastic. Really looking forward to that release

Sorry to bump this long gone thread, but I'm curious if anybody has a good rip of the stream of this show that was up in the roadcase section long before they started selling "roadcase" shows.  I did a rip of it all those years ago, but listening back recently I realized that there's quite a bit of clipping throughout and it's quite distracting.  Hoping somebody might be willing to share their copy

One more bump for show day!

It just seems like an odd pick to me.

Why?  (just out of curiosity).  I instantly thought "that is 100% the perfect Led Zeppelin song for them to play," and know others who thought the same.  Chris and Stone in particular are big Zep nerds, so I'm sure it was just a matter of what songs they really wanted to do

Just wanted to update. These are digital tickets. I can forward the passes via text or email 

I can tell they practiced. It just seems odd to me they would pick that song. They should do Hey Hey What Can I Do.

Just can't let this go by.  ALS was awesome. Perfect song for them to cover and they did a fantastic job.  Stone and Mike really nailed the guitarmonies and Jeff got that 12 string bass gallop down very well.  Went to Philly 2 and MSG and had a great time at both

Just sent you another pm. They are, in fact, digital

My all-in-1 unit is the Tascam DR-05.  Think it runs about $100 and has a pair of built ins as well as an 1/8" input.  Not sure how well the built-ins handle high db environments though
