That's a heck of a weekend.

Does that surprise you they are doing one of those album tours?

Oasis: Supersonic (2016) is now on Amazon I just watched it. I think they have some great songs - but most of their stuff is really generic. I guess I would have a different view if I was a teenager in England in the mid 1990s. I always think Liam seems like someone you would probably want to punch in the face everyday.

South of France

I would say I may finally get to see the band. But I doubt that will happen.

The first Bad Company album is great though. I was never all that into them either. But I just like to hear Paul sing.

You are talking about George Drakoulias or Joe Magistro I take it. I like that sort of thing - think Marc Quinones in the The Allman Brothers. Of course, I love drums.

He seems to play about the same songs at every show - every tour. At least - from what I have seen.

One of the greatest singers of all time. Rich just put up a video with Eddie on the Magpie FB page.

I didn't see it. Can Paul still sing?

It is one of the greatest albums of all time. It's what took them to super stardom. I would say I never thought they would do something like that. But it seems most every old band is now doing that sort of tour. Maybe we will see a 6 hour director's cut of Rattle and Hum. I would buy that.

I think for me it is something I noticed in the Chicago documentary the other night on CNN - Robert said something about them becoming a "ballads band" and that is not what they were really all about. But that is what they became.

He can never be Sam Cooke.

Townies (1996)

I'd say that is right. I've heard some live versions.

That's right.

I don't even care for Pink Floyd all that much - but that Fat Old Sun is great. I feel the same way about Mudcrutch 2. I think he wanted the other guys to have more say. That does not work. The first album is great. Not to upset you - but I could not get into the new CRB album. I didn't bother with the E.P.

That song is great. It was actually recorded during the making of Goats Head Soup. Which is a terrible title - but an overlooked album. LZPG

Thanks for the information. He must have done that in a lot of venues.

Now the guy who runs Crowesbase is putting up board tapes of shows -

Check this out:

Maybe not for the GD - but I think there were for other bands and sporting events. Maybe he just filmed the shows to have a record of it. Is one of those shows the show or encore where Jerry is jumping around playing his guitar?

Wasn't there a system where people would pay to watch such a thing at a movie theater?

I believe Bill Graham's organization filmed shows back in the day. I don't recall what the reasoning was - just to have a record of the event, close circuit viewing somewhere else, etc.
