This could be interesting - let's hope they allow taping:

I guess this is a good reason to keep Amazon Prime:

There are two sources. They are both up at the Owl and Bear.

I thought that was in recent years they went to the configuration. Maybe they have went back and forth - I say that I am sure I saw some videos where they had the drums in the traditional center space. I was watching some ELP videos recently and it amazes me Keith is right in front of those amps. Of course that was pretty standard back then. You know most of those guys probably had hearing problems by the time they were 30. I guessing the GD never cranked it that loud. I could be wrong. There is a lot of talk about sound and PA systems in that GD Gear book.

Now I am thinking of the way Phish lines up - in a line across the stage.

Yngwie Malmsteen

It must be. I don't recall reading any sort of reason in the GD Gear book. I am guessing he was not doing any vocals from that spot. (On a sort of related note - I saw a video recently of a certain stock car racer guitar player (as Neil would say). He had the band tucked off to the side of the stage while he was front and center with a mountain of amps behind him.)

I was listening to DP Volume 4 yesterday and noticed there is another photo of Phil standing behind the drummers inside the booklet. I have often wondered why he stood back there. I don't recall seeing any other bass player do that (one that I can think of anyhow).

Maybe The Dalton Brothers will reunite for the tour.

The first two albums I think are great. I have not yet seen the second half of the documentary. I was all set to watch it Saturday night. But CNN ran some other show instead.

I recall reading that. Paul probably did not know this at the time - but that song is really about Bono's mother.

The Propaganda magazines I have are from the Achtung Baby/Zoo TV era.

Are there really that many fans of Van Dieman's Land? I wonder. Acrobat is a great song.

I was looking at it around the same time you were I think.

Edge confirms it: The Edge Breaks Down U2's Upcoming Joshua Tree Tour

Canoe Country - Sammy Tweedy

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.
