The first album is often my favorite album of all time. I don't think they have ever made one better than that - really. I think there is film of that Wembley show also - it was up at dime a dozen or tape city recently.

I watched it online the other day - or tried to anyhow. I didn't think much of it.

They are also jumping on the covers album bandwagon - everyone who does one - hopes to match the sales of those albums Rod Stewart made (I guess) - but I don't think it is going to happen for them. They did a pretty good version of Blackbird back in the day - you can hear it on the CSN boxset, and the last CSN (first album) re-issue. I think that 74 Tour stuff is out there to be had - I have never heard it. If it is anything like Four Way Street, I am not sure I would want to hear it.

I figure that's a lot of parts to learn, unlearn, create, etc: In fall 2006, the band parted ways with longtime keyboard player Eddie Harsch and saw the departure of guitarist Marc Ford, who quit via fax on the verge of a fall tour. Replacing Harsch and Ford were Paul Stacey on guitar and Rob Clores on keyboards. In August 2007, the band introduced keyboard player Adam MacDougall, who replaced Clores after less than a year on tour. In addition, The Black Crowes invited guitar player Luther Dickinson from North Mississippi Allstars to perform on their upcoming record, entitled War

They are not to happy about the new guy on keyboards either. Video of a recent show - AT&T Blueroom.

That will be the thing to have. Along the lines of Another Stoney Evening [LIVE] - I would hope.

They are certainly doing some covers that no one has ever done - Hung Upside Down. I have been reading a lot of negative comments about Luther's playing on the Amorica 2 message board.

That woman has talent - too bad she is stuck with such shitty plastic music.

They are sueing her -

Release dates: July 5, 1968 January 5, 1969 August 3, 1969 November 2, 1969 July 25, 1970 December 7, 1970 The cds I have are from the overly expensive boxset release from a few years ago. Someone copied them for me. I hope to hell this new release will be from the master tapes - in HDCD.

I've never bought them on cd - so I am glad I waited. That album is pretty much a stinker - but what that hell - it has one of my favorite album covers of all time.

Well, there is some useful information. We'll get Napoleon Solo on the case.

Thanks for sharing the ride.

You are thinking of Earth First - I take it:

I wonder if we shall see a lot of fellows dressed up as the Joker Nurse this Halloween?

I would have rather had some early 70s stuff - I suppose it will come out eventually. I wonder how different this Series of Dreams is from the one on the Vol. 1-3 boxset.

Not bad.

Speaking of Email from HQ, I left you two magazines to read.
