I guess WB is getting their piece of the Jack's pie: A Letter Home Limited Edition Box Set

That is actually their plan - or so they have said.

He must have an interesting record deal - that allows him to release something like that through Jack White's company. God Bless Tim Hardin - but Rod Stewart did the best version of Reason To Believe. At least - that is the way I look at it.

By now there are two - sometimes more re-mastered/deluxe editions of their albums out there.

I never bought any of that - too expensive for me.

Looks like they are doing another tour: (I find it funny that Billboard is now providing links to illegal Youtube uploads. (check the bottom of the article) The Who Launching World Tour

I can't imagine Rich sitting around telling stories and answering questions. That will be interesting.

Another song from Chris: Beggar's Moon I think Rich has been putting up tracks also. And is apparently going to record an album at this place in June:

Sunday Sound is pretty alright song - I wonder if he ever does Kids That Ain't Got None/Silver Car? I like those two songs.

I think Dan plays on that album. I guess some of those songs are on the boxset.

For a really wild time they could have asked Sebastian Bach to induct the band.

It's pretty strange.

Thanks for posting that. I have to wonder why they didn't ask Scott Ian to induct the band.

I still think the cds in the first WB boxset are some of the best sounding cds/re-issues I have ever heard.

It's odd to see him talking that way. I think it is mainly due to his book coming out that he was out there spouting stuff. At least it is nice to see - like Rush - another band of the people getting in there.

I've read the other reason cds are still made is due to the people who are into modern country music. Apparently they make up a good deal of the cd buying public.

Win, Lose or Draw, the boxset (Dreams), and Live at Ludlow Garage were the last ones I bought until Seven Turns. I may get those other ones some day.

I didn't think the book that was great. I think you can tell - if you see the photos of how scrawny they were at one point. I thought it was funny that the writer made fun of the Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas title - just as Scott Freeman did in the Midnight Riders book. It is actually derived from the Check Berry song Too Much Monkey Business. I've never heard that album, Enlightened Rogues, Reach For The Sky, or Brothers of The Road.

It stills seems odd to me. One week various band members are saying they are done - and then a while later someone in the band says they are going onward. I wonder if it will be whoever plays guitar in Gregg's band.

That's probably why they still cds - the old people GD fans.

Yea - if you can unblock the BBC player. Try Daily Motion. (Which is how I found the new Jonathan Creek episodes.)

I recall reading somewhere that they do a thousand more each time - or something like that. You have to say that in a world where cds are on the way out - it is amazing they are even releasing physical product.

I guess this is the story now: (by way of Jambands.com) (Just the other day I saw an interview with Warren where he said the band was going to cease.)

I'd agree with that one.
