It was on during the 1993-1994 season. I'd say Jay's take on the Woody songs is going to be pretty different than the Wilco/Bragg albums.

I know some of the popular songs - that's about it. He's just someone I never got into really. I did, however, use to watch the show The Byrds of Paradise.

I see. You would think he could get whatever Crowes fans there were over there to come to shows.

Several bands do that these days. But - I don't really get people wanting such things, when there are hundreds of AUD tapes out there to be had. And occassionally, a SBD show appears. The same with all demo tracks that people always seem to want - they are out there already. Maybe it's due to the fact that I spend so much time with these things - that I don't get wanting live stuff that you have to buy. I don't mind buying some re-master of some old band I am into, but for Wilco to start putting out such things would seem weird.

I saw this on Billboard.com this morning: John Fogerty on New TV Gig, Next Album, & CCR's Deep Rift

Speaking of those days, they really screwed Michael Anthony over good. I was reading some stuff about that the other day.

That is true. I think there were reports from the last tour that just like Ozzy, some of his vocals were not exactly live.

I never thought he was much of a singer to begin with - a great front man, a great showman, but not so great of a singer. I am surprised he has not ended up with some sort of reality show. He would be a natural for that sort of thing.

The album is made up of old songs and ideas they worked on back in the day. (Look up She's The Woman - from 1976)

I would think that is David Lee Roth's idea. Last night, I was thinking about all the shit he wrote about Eddie and Alex in his book. I guess they must have had some long talks to work through all that hatred a few years ago.

At least they are still rocking - at least somewhat.

It's ok. I am surprised they didn't go with She's The Woman though.

I think much like Ozzy, Dave may not be able to cut it live anymore. I guess the new album is made up of old songs from thier early days that they never put on any albums. Still - it's cool to see a real rock band out there. My first thought was - the music sounds like the Sammy Hagar era, and the words make me think of a David Lee Roth solo album.

Metal Evolution - Grunge Episode I guess those dudes aren't fans of hair metal. I'm not exactly a fan of so-called hair metal myself, but I wouldn't write all of those bands off. Ratt has some great songs, and Cinderella too. I read a book a while back about the Seattle scene. It seemed to focus more on the tragedies than the music, but I learned a few things. One of which, was that a lot of those bands seemed to hate metal. I find that odd, as I still think a lot of Grunge bands were really playing a form of metal, they just dressed like Metallica, instead of looking like Ratt. And I'd s

I hope he gave the money back.

Thanks. My eyesite is not so great these days.

I didn't know that. I want to read the book he wrote at some point.

Colin Fritz Lives (1997) (with a cameo by Harry Knowles)

I like the music he is playing in one of the first introduction videos. You can read a lot about Meyer Sound in the book: Grateful Dead Gear - The Band's Instruments, Sound Systems, and Recording Sessions, From 1965 to 1995.

Every time I see PJ records albums mentioned, I recall that is the last new record I ever bought - Vitalogy. I got it for 5 bucks brand new.

You'll get it. Those are part of the American versions of the Beatles albums. That is what I grew up with.

I wonder if that guy in the video is related to him? He was also the mastermind behind David Lee Roth's early solo career.

It would have to be new - and bought in a store that uses SoundScan. I use to have an original pressing that my Dad bought when it came out - but it came up missing about 20 years ago. I still have the cover - just the record album is missing. I've never bought a Wico record album. I wouldn't mind having Being There on vinyl.

It's interesting that he named it after the GD museum complex project that never happened.
