They must be making shows just for BBC America. I have not really watched any of those other shows in recent years. Except - Doc Martin - which I rather like. I am glad there is not an American version of Doctor Who. One is enough.

Yes - there are commercials. Sometimes, lots of them. I didn't get to see the episode. I was out and about. I think there was a show on after Doctor Who called Ripper Street. Now it is a show called Orphan Black. I think they should run the Dave Allen Show and Benny Hill. Ha Ha Ha

I didn't think much of The Bells of Saint John either. We get to see The Rings of Akhaten tonight. I'm up to Snakedance (1983) in my efforts to watch all the episodes.

That's interesting that you mentioned the 66 bootleg - as I played it next. I really like the acoustic stuff on there.

The songs sound too fast to me.

I recently bought all the Dylan albums that I have never owned. One of them being Before The Flood. They must have been on the cocaine for those shows.

That makes me think of some of the headlines about the passing of Tony Sheridan a while back that referred to him as the "Beatles frontman".

I have one of those Unauthorized Rock N Roll comic books about The Doors. One of the panels shows Jim in a gym lifting weights. Pretty funny. I think the premise was someone told him he was fat and needed to go to the gym.

Speaking of interviews, an Interview with Charlie (not many of those around, I wouldn't think): Charlie Watts Glastonbury? I don't want to do it.

According to Billboard, Mick Taylor is going to be playing with the band on the new tour. That should be interesting.

I think the shows are in Europe.

They had some band opening for them not too many years ago. I can't remember the name of the band. That might have been the last time they did that.

How long has it been since The Black Crowes toured with another band? They are also going to play some shows with Bruce Springsteen.

Speaking of The Doors - John has a new book coming out called "The Doors: Unhinged ".

At least they played Feathers.

Billy is playing where I live next month. This is the press release:

This is what he is playing:

David did another live chat last night. I didn't see it, but I am going to check it out today. He says all the Dick's Picks are going to be re-released on cd and vinyl. I didn't know they were doing cds. I guess they are not selling them by way of the Dead.net. I just checked on Amazon and Dick's Picks Vol. 25 is there.

Is it this one? (1999 Metal Front Zemaitis)

Rich looks like Eric Clapton (circa 1970-1971).

I wonder if that is due to not rehearsing that many songs.

I am curious as to how Jackie sounds in the band.

Set list from lat night:

I was watching some of Mike Campbell Guitar Collection videos today. That guy has some nice guitars. Too bad you have to pay some bucks and sign up at the website to see all the videos. I guess there are 15 segments all together.

I was listening to all their albums today for the first time in a long time (well, up through New Adventures in Hi-Fi ). I was curious to see if they still had an active website. And sure enough, there is all sorts of stuff being posted on it. That is how I ran across the news about that re-issue. Oddly enough, I was listening to Green at the time.
