  1. That's a great film. The version of Young Man Blues from that show is fantastic. Plus - you get a few songs you don't usually get to see the band play (Water and I Don't Even Know Myself).
  2. Hey, I've been in that alleyway. And they still have that van.
  3. I never did either. And if I could pick a time, it would be the 1971 tour. His first wife and son sold just about everything in a big auction sometime after he died. Including the mansion/estate you see him walking around in during parts of The Kids Are Alright.
  4. I am a Who fan from way back, and was saddened to hear how he went out. I know they took a lot of shit for going on with the tour after he died. I saw an episode of Pawn Stars a while back where a woman brought in a silver Walkman that once belonged to John. That was Maxine, his second wife.
  5. I was joking on our age difference. I am still surprised they got Neil to tour again. They also switched record labels.
  6. I don't recall any of those bands doing Rush songs, mostly it was Southern Rock. If they did play one, it was probably Working Man. Also -
  7. They seem to be in the camera eye quite a bit these days. I read somewhere that the new album sold over 100,000 copies last week. It's nice to see some new people getting into the band. As stated several times, I generally prefer the earlier stuff. If you have not heard the first album, Fly By Night, Caress of Steel (The Fountain of Lamneth), 2112, All The World's A Stage (particularly the live 2112 section), and A Farewell To Kings - be sure to check those albums out. Speaking of the film, I wonder if bands still play in high schools? I suppose not. I was in HS during the first four yea
  8. I have not heard the new album yet - I suppose I may check it out at some point. A rather long two part interview with Billy Corgan and Geddy Lee: Part 1 Part 2
  9. It could be one of those things that just goes back and forth forever. I don't have an iPod, iPhone, nor do I mess with Mp3 files. I figure if I did, I would be more inclined to snag tracks instead of buying cds.
  10. Oh - he certainly fits that title from time to time.
  11. He is a lawyer. He is well known in the entertainment business. I read his blog all the time. I don't always agree with him, but he often puts out some interesting stuff to read. What's funny though is that even though he comes from the time of albums, he always goes on about: And he often rants about older artists bitching about the way things are these days. I sometimes think the way things are now are most likely better for those who are not in the get rich quick disposable top ten. With the internet, you can of course reach many more people that a record company who does not really
  12. If the band allows it to take place - trading live shows, or downloading live shows from a BT site is not stealing music.
  13. This is the one I have: I think it has been out of print since then.
  14. You can get those tracks in their original form by way of a collection called Someone Else’s Songs at the Live Wilco Archive. The last three tracks you can get by finding the whole shows at the Live Wilco Archive.
  15. I had an original pressing of the vinyl. I now have the cds that came out sometime in the 1990s. I think I have a boot dvd of the film. Back in the 1980s, we use to watch it on Cinemax. That guy on drums (Joe English) is a great drummer.
  16. Speaking of GD books, they have The Grateful Dead Family Album book for ten bucks (it was 20) at dead.net. I've always wanted that book.
  17. Here's some Paul news I can actually look forward to: (I found this by way of Expecting Rain)
  18. Although there are exceptions - most of the time those guys don't really write their books anyhow. Mickey doesn't have one, does he?
  19. Everyone gets a book eventually. I am surprised Bob has not written one yet. I have Phil's book. It is not so great.
  20. Thanks. The album cover art for In The Wake of Poseidon is pretty spooky.
