Looks like old Jimmy may actually go though with it:

I recently bought the first 6 re-masters. I have not listened to them yet though. From what I have read - most people say they sound way better than the original cds.

I guess this means a new acoustic album:

I read that book. That whole guy's trip seems to be about taking the air out of all the famous Keith stories.

I forgot that one. I think the saddest story might be the one where Keith ran over and killed his driver.

I don't think they ever did - except for Keith's various troubles with the police. And that incident where Pete threw that detective off the stage at the Fillmore.

They were going to do more Stones songs - but they got out of prison before they could record any more.

That's a great story about the acetate being returned to the band. The original pressing had braille on the back and some sort of poster/lyric sheet. I don't have an original pressing. I do have an original pressing of Pete's first solo album though. I think Roger, Richard Evans, and Graham Hughes did the album cover. I don't recall the story behind it. I will have to check some Who books I have. It could be someone else here knows.

I didn't think it was that bad.

I am hoping the next time HBO has a free weekend where I live I get to see it. We recently had one over the holiday weekend. So I was able to watch True Detective 2.

There ain't nothing cheesy (I hate that word) about that album cover. Get the re-master - it has more songs on it. There are all sorts of great songs from the Lifehouse period.

Has anyone heard the new song Bono has written for Paris? I have not dug around yet to see if it pops up somewhere.

The only thing I remember about that album is Southern Pacific. Speaking of Neil - I recently bought the Buffalo Springfield boxset. I have cdr copies that someone gave me back when it came out (2001). I happened to see it on Amazon recently for 24 bucks new - so I thought that was a good deal. It is a good deal - but the box is now downsized. I believe the original release was more the size of a scrapbook.

I think you may be right about the downsizing though. I recall reading that they had also sold some homes they had in other countries.

I have those books. I think he is giving all the money from the auction to charity.

I saw a photo yesterday of Ringo sitting behind the oversize drums from the Hello Goodbye film. I think those are in the auction also.

I wonder if that bass drum head is a replacement? I say that as in the photos of his drums in the Beatles gear book almost all of the Beatles logos are cut out of the bass drum skins.

LOL

Which is funny - because it has always been stated that John had the first one.

That must have been something to be at one of those shows. It's almost as if the band were playing in your living room.

I'm listening to the Young Vic show (April 1971) from the Who's Next re-issue. If you have never heard it - you should check it out. I suppose you probably have - it came out over a decade ago. Anyhow - I am sometimes still amazed that I can listen to something that I recall reading about as a teenager - and never thought I would hear.

Thanks to a free Showtime weekend - I am getting to see the Atlanta Pop film. It seems to be a lot of people talking so far.

Plus that Waltz version was released on the first Bootleg Series release (1991). I am glad to see Farewell Angelina is on this release. Such a great song - I really like the Joan Baez version.

I think in that interview she says something about having "one song on her phone" or something like that.

Yes, the sound of him playing that Strat is such a great sound.
