Not to sound rude - but they are a day late and a dollar short. Those shows have been out for a while now, and have been snagged by several hundred people. Maybe they intend to release them as part of the Bridge School iTunes collection. That is the only thing I can think of. I don't speak for The Owl, but I am certain he will take them down if that is what we are asked to do. I suppose someone would have to let the administrators of the certain BT sites know.

It would be nice to know - if they got the axe on a Mp3 blog, then they should not be allowed anywhere else - I would think. I don't want to jeopardize the work we do to archive shows.

I will send the show to you - if someone has not stepped up yet.

Warren Haynes and John Paul Jones performing "Soul Shine" at the 2008 Christmas Jam on Friday, December 12, 2008. Allman Brothers from the same show. Gov't Mule, Ben Harper, and John Paul Jones: When The Levee Breaks The Ocean

I suppose I will have a hard time hearing anything from her that could top the first time I heard Furnace Room Lullaby/Canadian Amp/Blacklisted. That is great run of albums.

Is that what we are talking about? The new songs played at those shows? I am surprised the Bridge School shows are even taped to begin with - as some of those shows have been a part of an official release in the past. Maybe you dudes can get the scoop - and let us know. This is Dime a Dozen's policy:

Oh really. The Bridge School shows are being seeded right at this very moment - on two different BT sites. The shows are also up elsewhere. Neil hates Mp3s, so maybe that is the reason.

Someone put up the Mickey and The Heartbeats show today also - the one with the Clementine Jam. Apparently, it was already up there. I think I am going to grab those tracks.

By this point - wouldn't the boxsets be done and in a warehouse somewhere? It would be rather costly (as in Smile - the artwork was designed and made before the album was shelved), I would think. I don't have much of an idea has to how long it takes to print/make/package such things. So maybe I am wrong.

It does not do much for me, either. I guess she has given up on the Polaroid art.

It will certainly be interesting to see how many copies are sold when it comes out.

In some ways, the cover art is not all that much different than her last two album covers - sort of. What would you do with that as it is now? I am not much of a fan of the white background. I think I would try having her name at the top and the album title at the bottom - using the same font as the word Cougar is displayed in chrome on the car.

I don't see how many people are going to be able to buy it - unless you have 300 hundred dollars and a Blu-Ray player. Still listed as coming out on February 24, 2009 - $323.99 Although there is a DVD listing - for $310

I missed that - all of my BT searching usually involves searching for Wilco shows these days. Here it is.

Speaking of 1968 - these three shows were just put up at bt.etree.org: Grateful Dead 02/03/1968 Crystal Ballroom, Portland, OR Grateful Dead 08/22/1968 Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA Grateful Dead 09/02/1968 Betty Nelson's Organic Raspberry Farm, Sultan, WA

Good idea for a book.

Some more - Axl should start a blog.

and Eight Miles High (which really was about being in a plane)

I have always read that the reason he left the band was due to his fear of flying.

It was interesting to read in the Preflyte booklet that Terry Melcher did not think much of Gene Clark. Without his songs, I don't think they would have made it.

They are on Vapor Records.

I don't think this site is updated anymore - but it is a great site: Byrdwatcher That boxset has also been re-done and re-released. I think a lot of the unreleased tracks ending up being bonus tracks on the re-masters. But - there seems to be no shortage of takes that they are willing to stick on various re-issues and call them bonus tracks. I don't know if I agree with the view of the Pre-Flyte sessions being all that great - I like the first disc better than the second one. I do like The Airport Song. It is interesting to see how they went through the deal of trying to sound like The Beatl
