You may be right: (I was listening to Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! yesterday. It's a shame what time does to a band.)

Speaking of the demos, the first Scoop is one of my favorite Pete albums. I got the album when it came out in 1983. I remember playing it all the time. Plus, it has great liner notes. If you look at the Wikipedia page for the album, it lists Spike as Elvis Costello (as "Spike"). This is not correct.

From what I have been reading, Keith's playing is better than it has been in years. It's also interesting to see Ronnie playing a Les Paul.

Little Red Rooster with Brian on slide is a pretty cool thing to see/hear. Second night setlist (11/29/2012):

This is surprising (by way of Billboard.com)

There is some cool stuff on those Who's Missing compilations. When I Was A Boy is a John Entwistle song (you probably knew that.) I am rather fond of Let's See Action/Join Together/Relay. I received Hooligans for Christmas in 1981. I still have it.

Here's the video: Neil Young on The Daily Show (by way of Thrasher's Wheat).

I don't know if I have heard all of them all the way through or not. When I listen to the Stones it is usually Beggar's Banquet/Let It Bleed/Exile On Main Street.

I'll have to see if he is mentioned in the According To. . .The Rolling Stones book. I don't recall seeing his name in there. The bass player auditions are a whole other story. Apparently, even Noel Redding showed up to play. I don't know much about the albums after Tattoo You, but I like that song Slipping Away (Steal Wheels). That Stripped album is alright. Undercover (1983) Dirty Work (1986) Steel Wheels (1989) Voodoo Lounge (1994) Bridges to Babylon (1997) A Bigger Bang (2005)

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.
