Analogman

There should be a date about halfway on the face of the cd. I never buy used cds anymore. I have bought some new re-masters of cds from Amazon before, and they turned out to be the old version of the cd. I sent them back.

You probably have the 1987 version. Although, it sounds like they used the same booklet in the new release.

There are some AUD sources up at bt.etree.org (of course). I think I may grab one of them.

I can handle Pry, To.

Although I love Vitalogy, I've always thought I could do without: Bugs, Aye Davanita, and Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me. I think it's funny that Immortality is stuck in between the last two though. To me, that is one of the best Pearl Jam songs of all time.

I think a reason a lot of those bands changed was due to MTV. I also think that the massive success of Phil's first solo album led to the band making more radio friendly music.

Taper's Section (November 2 - November 8, 2009)

From Jambands.com:

They even played Bee Girl (Philadelphia, setlists).

Good stuff: It's still my favorite U2 album, and always has been.

Webisode. I have liked some of the ones they did in the past, but I thought that one was run of the mill. Plus, I think it is a chance to give Mindy her own deal. I believe she is suppose to have her own show on NBC at some point.

I received The Unforgettable Fire (2 cd version) from Amazon yesterday. I believe this is the 4th time I have bought the album. My first thought is that it breathes more now, the sound is not so muddy and claustrophobic. The packaging is about the same as The Joshua Tree re-master (2 cd version). The four times: Cassette (original pressing) (October 1984) - I sort of recall buying it the week it came out. Vinyl (original pressing) - I don't recall - late 1980s. CD (original pressing) - I think I got the cd in late 1993. CD (the new one) - Yesterday.

I should have posted the links last night: The Ghouls and Gals post with photographs. Pax AM Store Foggy TV (you can sign-up here).

It's in six parts. I am surprised it is on Youtube, as I think it is officially out on DVD.

The Paul Lynde Halloween Special (1976)

I thought it was odd that it was made to look like a Halloween episode in the promos. Last week was a bit dark with Pam screaming and what not.

I still think the sound is a bit sterile or something to that effect. From what I have read, it was mostly recorded live, and at least one song was recorded outside. There are two vinyl bonus tracks out there to be had - if one looks. They are: Here Comes Daylight and Hole in Your Soul. I really like the songs Oh Josephine and Whoa Mule.

I guess you don't want a copy of my Mountain Jam boxset then. LOL.

I should say that there was a time when they were more apt to stretch out. I think the focus has shifted to the new songs. At least, that is what I have noticed looking at the recent set-lists, anyhow.

It could be it has to do more with the fact that large groups of people follow them around, than the actual music they are making. That also happened to The Allman Brothers band. Of course, like a lot of these genre definitions, there is room for different interpretations, but still, there is also a core set of defining characteristics.

I never looked at them as a jamband. Although, I could see how that term became applied to them.

An interview with Rich: "Art is Not A Service Industry": Rich Robinson and The Black Crowes Endure He talks about some of things we have talked about here before. Such as, the difference between the first and second album.

I don't think I have ever heard those albums described as "psychedelic rock" before. Wikipedia gives a good description. At least, that it what I think of when I hear the phrase. Then, there is: Neo-psychedelia
