I saw another video where she was playing acoustic at the same place. 

Any of you Chicago people ever see Joanna Connor?

Walkin' Blues

I have to say I mostly stopped listening to his new music several years ago. But Faithless Street and Strangers Almanac are two of my favorite albums of all time.

That's one of those Bill Graham Presents videos. 

One of my absolute favorites, along with Shetland and Broadchurch.

It is a great show. I am watching Luther again. 

Speaking of that -

There's a Wilco song in the show Now and Again - which I recently re-watched.

It's a song off of Summerteeth.

Odd timing - now that he is geared up to be releasing a bunch of albums this year.

"through his lawyer" = his shit is in trouble

I (mostly) watched Paradox recently.  I like the sound of Neil's guitar. I was reminded of the soundtrack of Dead Man. 

i haven't bought a record via ebay in years, though the automated alerts were handy at times... discogs is the way to go, imo.

I have not looked at that place in a while. Although - oddly enough - I just got an alert about the Roger Daltrey cd I want. 

I was glad to see Endeavor (season 5) up on Amazon Prime finally. It's getting hard to catch a lot of these British shows due to BritBox and Acorn.

Never really thought of Ebay - must admit I never purchased anything from there. 

I've been on there since it started. Probably one of the first things I got was the album: Soundtrack Recordings from the film Jimi Hendrix. Or the Flying Burrito Brothers cd I got all the way from Holland. 

I seldom ever buy records anymore - but I have had good experiences with Ebay. 

Danny Hutton is the only singer left. Cory has passed on - and Chuck does his own thing. 

That is amazing. I don't it was until I got a bootleg VHS tape that I saw it. Unless It was on Cinemax or HBO or somewhere else that I am not remembering,

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the rooftop concert, I listened to Let it Be yesterday.  Still miffed that "Don't Let Me Down" didn't make it onto the album.  Watched a YouTube video of the rooftop version of the song -- it bought a big 'ol lump to my throat.  

Yea - that is a heavy song.

That rooftop sequence is so powerful. Of course - back in the day - you could only read about it. I probably did not see it until sometime in the early 1990s.

I bet that's it. 

I guess we may see a mew release of Let It Be after all.

New Film Project
We are proud to announce an exciting new collaboration between The Beatles and the acclaimed Academy Award winning director Sir Peter Jackson

 

The new film will be based around 55 hours of never-released footage of The Beatles in the studio, shot between January 2nd and January 31st, 1969. These studio sessions produced The Beatles’ Grammy Award winning album Let It Be, with its Academy Award winning title song. The album was eventually released 18 months later in May 1970, several months after the band had broken up.

 

The filming was originally intended for a planned TV special, but organically turned into something completely different, climaxing with The Beatles’ legendary performance on the roof of Apple's Savile Row London office — which took place exactly 50 years ago today.

 

Peter Jackson said, "The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us, ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience that Beatles fans have long dreamt about."

 

“I was relieved to discover the reality is very different to the myth,” continues Jackson, “it’s simply an amazing historical treasure-trove. Sure, there’s moments of drama - but none of the discord this project has long been associated with. Watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo work together, creating now-classic songs from scratch, is not only fascinating - it’s funny, uplifting and surprisingly intimate”.

 

"I’m thrilled and honoured to have been entrusted with this remarkable footage - making the movie will be a sheer joy.”

Miller's Cave?

You got that right
Said you got that right
Well, you got that right
Sure got that right

It sounds like that may be one of those tapes that group of lawyers got back to the band.

There is at least one other song out there - something to do with Pennsylvania. I gave it a try. I didn't care for it. 

Would probably buy a copy, but prefer Latvala's handwritten notes.

It will probably happen some day.

Something I have not yet explored:

The Dead's 'Elastic Ping-Pong Jam' During Dark Star, 1973

He has some nice videos where he talks about his guitars on YT.

I am surprised someone has not transcribed those notebooks and released the whole thing as a book.
