NNamdi has them in his fanny pack.

yeah, any unearthed stuff from that era would be sweet.

back in 2015 or so, when the Loft installation was part of Solid Sound, wasn't there a listening station with outtakes and unreleased studio recordings being played? I didn't spend much time at it and can't recall much obv, but am thinking there are leftovers to be plundered for sure. 

my airbnb canceled on me already and it's memorial day weekend so i might just say fuck it and shoot Boston Calling instead. 

ugh. finding a place to stay is by far the worst part of the festival. 

they were a great band at least through Eliminator.

always happy to see this thread get some new posts.

Halford's IG is worth following. 

despite the playing of "Let's Go Rain," thankfully the rain didn't come back, which given this July in New England is a minor miracle.

great show, and it was a very smooth event. i think we got there around 6:20ish and there was a sizeable line in front of us, but when we got to the seats it was easy to find prime real estate dead center and about 6-7 rows back. the sound was really good and the entire set up bodes well for future events there. hard to estimate but maybe 300-400 people in total?

i didn't end up bringing any camera gear as i'd put in a request to jeff's publicist and never heard back but it was a super low key affair and a fellow photog i hadn't seen since the pandemic was seated right behind me and he just brought his as a GWC (guy with camera) and took a few shots. i should have just tossed my gear into my car but i've shot Jeff a ton of times and it was nice to relax and just watch the show. i also forgot that Warner would be there and could have just squeezed some shots from the soundboard; he does live sound for the band and i met him at the Rolling Stones concert in 2018 and we had a good time hanging out before that show. 

the seating spacing was great too, plenty of room in between rows, and if you wanted to sacrifice a bit of sight line and sound quality for a roomier space, the adirondack chairs up the incline on stage left were a good bet. Paul, good to catch up briefly after the show!

He's gonna  be in the general area for the shows at Mass MoCA and Tree House, so fingers crossed he sticks around for a few more days and plays Newport. They have not announced all the acts for either session yet so while it's a bit of a long shot, it's definitely in the realm of possibility.

I'm really on the fence w/r/t the Mass Moca show. I don't like that 1) members will get a "preferred viewing area in front of the stage," and 2) the allegations against Joe are fairly strong at this point and it's strange that Wilco HQ have continued to sing his praises and collaborate with him as though those allegations don't matter.

go to the Tree House show instead!

I guess i missed the Joe allegations. what's w/ that? a #metoo moment?

if anyone still needs a vinyl copy of the most excellent 4LP set Way Down In The Rust Bucket, you'll not find a better deal anywhere:

Completely agree.  I expected the worst and Cloud 9 delivered a painless ticket buying experience.

i thought it was a bit weird to have had to generate the quotes for the various travel insurance options rather than just state the cost of each one.

“Low Key” at Potbelly Sandwiches today. 

i didn't see either of those... first saw them at Avalon right when they got back together, in 2002. saw them a bunch after that too. 

tuned in last night for the first time in a while (finally figured out how to display it on my TV, yay for me) and enjoyed it a lot, but some of the client comments about Enimen and Patti were eye-rolling... blech. excellent to hear Burma too. talk about reunited bands who did it right - much respect for Roger, Clint, Peter (and Bob).

It was also a nice surprise (though not too surprising, I guess) to hear how much Jeff loves the song "Andromeda" by Weyes Blood.  Such a good one.  For those who haven't heard it,...

 

Weyes Blood opened for the first of the three end of the year shows that Sleep did in Chicago last year. a weird choice for a metal band but i thought they sounded great and got a good reception overall.
