I wonder if Nick Offerman had something to do with getting Jeff to do the song (besides the posted story).

I have not listened to the Road Trips shows in a while. I am giving Volume 3/Number 1 a spin (Austin Texas, 11/15/1971).

It was sort of a throwback to the old days.

I'd say this re-master sounds great. I have to say Tear Stained Eye still brings a tear to my eye.

No bad.

Two Guys Named Jay: The Jeff Tweedy Story How I Crawled Out Of The Ashes of Uncle Tupelo: Jeff Tweedy's Life and Times I Will Never Let Jeff Lynne Ruin My Band: My Life In Music

I see Al Kooper got his story in the booklet. I take it the essays in the 2 disc version are edited down from what is in the other versions. I am not as much into Blonde on Blonde as I was when I was a teenager - but I will give the 2 disc version a play at some point.

I think I noticed that the other day. I don't know why I didn't notice it the first time. I suppose I am behind on my Beatles product buying. I never bought the last re-masters.

There is also the Live Anthology (4 cds) (2009).

Mojo Nixon - there's a name you don't hear everyday I read that Tom is going to have his own channel on one of those satellite radio channels now - instead of just a show.

I think I recall reading various things after their last tour. Some talk of a new album, and some talk that Axl had told them he was done for a while. I would think with Steven they would bring up his health issues. Which is partly what happened with Bill and Black Sabbath.

I would be surprised if he was involved. They will probably pull a Bill Ward Situation® on him.

There is a message within the Canadian Amp cd liner notes about her dislike of ripping cds, mp3 sharing, etc. I think she was real anti-computers back then also.

I have some live shows from years ago. I don't know if she is still against taping or not. She was very against such things back in the day.

I recall getting Canadian Amp in the mail back in the day. I still think Furnace Room Lullaby and Blacklisted are the best. I played those albums so many times.

I recall reading a while back that Slash and Axl had began talking again. I figured some sort of talk like this would pop up:

Truckdriver, Gladiator, Mule

I think I bought that book for next to nothing a long time ago. At the start of every semester there use to be a guy selling used books in the student union. I am pretty sure that is where I found it.

I like those type of oral history style books. When I first read about the new Gans book it was described as an expanded/updated version of Playing In The Band.

I'll probably get it. Playing In The Band is one of my favorite GD books.

The new Jackson/Gans book is out now also: This Is All A Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of The Grateful Dead

I have that. It is certainly one of the best rock documentaries I own. I guess the thing about this new book is that Zanes got Stan to participate in the interview process.

I ordered the 2 disc version from Amazon yesterday. I guess I will get it sometime this week.

I suppose I got out those albums due to the press about the new book that is out. I may have to read it.

I'm listening to all the TP albums today: When you listen to the albums in order you really notice how the songs/sound changes. The first three have a definite sound and then it changes with Hard Promises and then again with Southern Accents. I have to say I end up skipping most of that album up through Into The Great Wide Open. To me - I really like the run of albums from Wildflowers up through Echo. I have not really listened to the last two albums enough to say anything about them. I have been reading about a Wildflowers boxset/deluxe edition that is suppose to be coming out sometime.
