Steve's new band: Trigger Hippy

Weird thread, man. I like it quiet. I hope it stays that way.

I've been reading some different sort of books from what I usually read: Joe R. Lansdale: Flaming Zeppelins: The Adventures of Ned the Seal Cherie Priest: Four and Twenty Blackbirds Wings to the Kingdom Dreadful Skin Not Flesh Nor Feathers Fathom, Those Who Went Remain There Still Boneshaker Clementin Dreadnought Bloodshot

That the one. I'm wrong about that. The sound is really good on that album. Eddie Kramer worked on it. There was a also a single cd release of the Winterland shows put out by Rykodisc in the late 1980s. I have that also.

New Hendrix releases OR should we say old releases with new stuff added on. Still, Hendrix In The West is a great live album. I have owned it since the early 1980s.

I wonder how that version of Dreams sounds. I don't think I knew they were playing it that early. According to Crowesbase, they had just began covering the song (live, that is) the month before. I like the cover of Dreams they did with Warren Haynes at several shows in the fall of 1996. And the one with Jimmy Herring from March 14th 2006.

I saw that yesterday. I thought about grabbing it.

You should get this book and read it: A Room Forever: The Life, Work, Letters Of Breece D'J Pancake [Paperback] Thomas E. Douglass

Yes. I have studied his life for years. I have been to his hometown and grave site.

What did you think of Pancake?

Chris Robinson East Coast tour dates

There are actually some recent Ryan shows up at Dime a Dozen right now.

This reminds of that scene in Journey Through the Past where he walks in the record store and walks out with a Neil Young bootleg. Neil Young Looks Back on 'Treasure,' Aims for 'Archives 2' Release in 2012

Good to hear.

I'm alright.

Not yet - but I did undergo a cardiac catheterization on Thursday. I hope you make it ok.

An interview with Ritchie: Exclusive: Buffalo Springfield to Launch 30-Date Tour This Fall There have been other Buffalo Springfield reunions in the past. I think they are mentioned in the Shakey book. Also - I thought for sure I read somewhere a few years ago that Ritchie had given up preaching to play music full time again.

I was watching some videos of their recent shows the other day. They sounded good, except Stephen Stills can't sing for shit anymore. That's a dam shame. Stream of the album by way of Rolling Stone: Click here to listen to Neil Young and the International Harvesters' A Treasure I don't see myself buying this album.

The Jayhawks Reunite for Mockingbird Time

That too.

I never got into buying boots either. I have two that I can think of - a Hendrix album (Midnight Lightning II), and a pressing of the Led Zeppelin BBC transcription disc that has been around for years. I got them both for 5 bucks, due to a record store going out of business in the early 1990s around here when I live. I think those LZ boots run 75-100 bucks. There are those who like to collect them, which I can understand, but it's not something I am into. It is still amazing to me that someone hung on to a cassette of a LZ soundboard for all these decades, and then (presumably) sold it to

You can also find it in a few other places, but I would go for the remastered and speed corrected version by dadgad. It is the torrent put up on Dime a Dozen today. I am sure it will get spread around from there. My hat is off to the guy who paid a bunch of money for the silver bootleg, and then ripped the discs and put the files out there. I figure we are lucky that we don't have to shell out a bunch of bread in order to acquire Wilco live shows.

There's another new soundboard out there:
