tinnitus photography

well this was at Avalon which is now House of Blues..the Keys have (or at least had, back then) an open policy regarding taping and photography...Avalon's stated policy towards cameras was that it deferred to the band's position. i never heard back from my request for a pass so figured i'd just buy my own ticket and do it. got shut down and had to check my camera gear before the opening band was done. that sucked. the guy also tried to make me format my card but i switched cards when he wasn't looking (i now know how to recover images from a formatted card so that's a moot point). the irony

i saw the Black Keys headline in 2006...but had my camera confiscated during the opening band by some security nazi and didn't get any photos.

Thanks! I hope I can capture something as alluring on this go round.

they should put me in charge as director of beer selection and stage photography. i'll float this suggestion to Tony and Deb.

this is awesome if it'll really happen. my friend Joyce Linehan was the prime mover on this one.

the beer at #2 was better, but they sold out of the Wilco Tango Foxtrot pretty quickly. i think that they can easily step up their game in this dept.

Condo Fucks rule. loved their show a few years ago. the new record is a real snoozer for me.

PopTodd would have creamed himself had Tom Zé been announced.

maybe Neko Case? is she the largest non-Wilco name on the lineup?

i'm good w/ that. i missed last night's show, so it'll be good to see again.

White Denim is pretty good adder.

?uestlove. maybe there's still hope for !!!

Autumn Defense under P for Pat Sansone

best lineup of the three so far. easily.

Os Mutantes!

after leaving Iggy, James Williamson went on to be a VP for Sony Music.

They did "that's what you always say". I spotted Steve in the field later that day and thanked him for playing it. The latter

it would be awesome if TAD were playing

Robbie Robertson

Ribot!

not sure if O'Rourke wants to leave Japan to do music, even just for a one-off
