He's mentioned Wilco a time or two on his blog. I read his blog just about every day.

A few years ago I grabbed all the ABKCO remasters. I think those were the most expensive remasters I ever bought.

I wonder if he actually meant his Aerosmith audition. I read about that in the book Walk This Way. I've always heard that Keith is not necessary fond of flashy guitar players. I would think Jeff Beck playing at the show the other night was due to his friendship with Mick.

I've never heard that before. That would have never worked.

I was watching a Rory Gallagher documentary the other day - and there was a part in the film where they talked about him playing with the Rolling Stones. I'd forgotten that he auditioned as a possible replacement for Mick Taylor. That must have been an odd thing to hear and/or see.

There are (at least) two bootlegs you may want to check out - From Lifehouse to Leeds, and P.T. Demos For The Who - "Lifehouse" - Demos 1970/71 (Pete Townshend: Genuine Scoop.)

I think all the songs on that album were left-over songs.

It appears MJ was dressed as The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man at the start of the show.

It's is at that. I doubt they would let such things happen these days.

It's posted up above. A lot of it is old news.

I picked up The Magic Door yesterday. This album sounds really good.

They don't own the film. I have a feeling whoever does wants more money than the band is willing to pay. David has been saying it will come out for several years now.

I was 16. I remember some dudes skipping school to go buy the album.

I was. I don't really know about the shows after 1973 - so you got me there. I just think they put out a lot of good stuff. I am talking about all the stuff - not just the Dave's Picks series. I mean all the boxsets and the rest.

I don't get all the hatred. I have read and/or own hundreds of rock star books. I think Neil's book is certainly a cut above what is out there. I understand he goes on about the music player too much, but other than that I think it is just Neil being Neil. I wonder how many people go to that Home Depot just to see his son.

This makes me feel old:

I don't see how that is possible. They have put out something for just about everyone since he has been around.

That's a great article. I am always curious about David, and it is nice to hear about Betty.

I also noticed Pete is using a cable, and not a wireless system.

That is a good question. It must be some sort of reflection of the state of mind of the modern Jimmy. I find the whole idea of video tributes a bit odd. But - that is what the old bands do these days. Stunning, really.

Dave Marsh shares some of his same views. But - I do not. The Who a singles band? Rubbish. I can see his point, but people want to see these old bands, and they want to play - so that is how it goes.

Sundazed is having a big sale. There is a lot of great stuff there - plus, you can grab those Moby Grape LPs/CDs for 9 bucks.

I like it just fine. I can relate to some of his trips. He is really just giving a more personal take on some of the stuff that was in the Shakey book. I am down with his ideas about sound, but I will be surprised if the method he is trying to sell ends up going anywhere. It's cool that he mentions Wilco is one of his favorite bands.

I got the book Waging Heavy Peace the other day. It's pretty funny that he states in the book if you don't like the way I am doing this, pass it on to someone else.
