A public library that has Iron Maiden cds? Mr. Burr would have got a laugh out of that - I bet.

Maybe that was it. They talked about the box of tapes they recently acquired. Parish named the roadie that took them. I can't recall the name. Looks like this guy is putting it up on Youtube: Weir Here with Phil Lesh, Parish, and David 2013.

I saw up until they did Operator. I noticed David said something about a Pigpen cd coming out "next month".

I just read that Clive Burr passed away. That's a shame. He was a great drummer.

That setlist you posted seems better to me. I mean - it's interesting that they did a Hendrix song, but I am not all that into them doing such a thing. About the only Hendrix covers I can go for are the ones SRV did. I suppose I don't think of those antique blues songs as covers - even though they are covers.

Another Great Tour Announcement Video: Phish Summer Tour 2013.

Stages is one thing I don't have. Although I do have one disc from it - Atlanta 1970. Ok - after listening to People, Hell, and Angels I have to say it's mostly junk. If you are not into buying all the Hendrix releases, I'd say you don't need it.

I should have said I was going by the Youtube videos I watched. I suppose I should watch some more.

I bet Eddie and John sometimes regret the things they said in the book. I mean - they have now made a living off the estate for the past several years. And at least Billy Cox gets some money. I have that book. The review you posted sounds about like Valleys of Neptune. In the back of my mind, I know they are scraping the barrel at this point. But - there are still some gems to be found here and there. The last box set is a good example of that. I hope from here on out they concentrate on the live stuff, and the film archives.

At times goes on, I am more partial to the later day stuff. Songs such as Dolly Dagger/Straight Ahead/Freedom/Hey Baby (New Rising Sun).

I think I have one studio bootleg - on vinyl. I forgot about that. I got it years ago. I've seen the stuff around. I think there's even a dedicated Hendrix torrent site out there.

I have not listened to People, Hell, and Angels yet. Some of the tracks are different takes, or tracks that came out on those Alan Douglas albums - Crashing Landing/War Heroes/Midnight Lightning - without the overdubs he put on the tracks. I do own just about every Hendrix release there is, but I don't think I have any studio bootlegs. I do have a live SBD show or two, I think. Valleys of Neptune is not so great. First Rays of The New Rising Sun is really the one to have. Hendrix In The West is the live album to get.

I don't mind a cover or two from the Allman Brothers, or The Black Crowes. But almost seems to me they have turned into the Warren Haynes Band, or Gov't Mule with better drumming. With all the albums they have, you would think they could fill up a couple of sets with original tunes. Maybe it's as you say - you have to be there. Maybe Gregg is just not capable of much anymore, so they turn to Warren. And he picks all those cover songs to sing.

I'm not much of a Cheap Trick fan, but the dude does have an amazing guitar collection.

I'm not much for Buddy Miles playing. I prefer the Hendrix/Cox/Mitchell line-up. Some of the releases are terrible, and some are great.

I've never watched any of the Weir Here broadcasts. This one may be interesting.

Rick Nielsen on American Pickers. I didn't know the dude had a Cheap Trick Museum in Rockford. It looks like he has kept everything he has ever touched.

That was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fiasco. I wish they would show the BBC documentaries on the BBC America Channel. That would be great.

They seem to come and go. I usually watch most of them myself. I don't really know anything about Graham Parker, but I'd watch it. I just watched the Blondie BBC documentary (from 2006) - it's been on YouTube since 2011.

It is somewhat odd, but I buy them all - and always will. And it is great to have real liner notes to read.

It seems Rounder does not have much of a distribution system. Or is it that these stores are just not going to carry any cds unless the artists is real popular and well known. We have a Best Buy and a Barnes and Noble here where I live. If Barnes and Noble has it, the cd is probably 20 bucks. I didn't bother checking either one of those places. Maybe I should have.

I saw this on Billboard.com: That's pretty amazing. According to Eddie Kramer, this is the last studio out-takes album they are going to release.

As I have said before - all the record stores are gone here where I live. I have not bought a new cd in a record store in many years now. Recently, I learned that there is an FYE at the mall here. I think I use to know that, but seldom ever go to the mall so I forgot about it. I went there today to pick-up the new Hendrix, which I figured they would have. They did. And then I remembered the new Son Volt cd was out. So I looked around. No luck. Since FYE is a chain place, the person behind the counter kept coming over to me every few minutes and bugging me. I finally asked her about the new S

I have a feeling he won't be playing Monkee songs. I think the reviews I read of his shows a few months ago indicated he was playing songs from his solo albums, and doing a lot of talking in between songs.

It should be interesting.
