According to Oteils's website - he is still in the band. It's good to see another archival show coming out. (From Rolling Stone.com)

I saw that on my Facebook page. I believe it was 60 bucks for the FLAC files - 97 bucks for the cds.

I'd say you got a point there. Some of the breaks were very sharp. The episode seemed sad to me.

That was the Bill's in house video feed (I think). You can find other examples of filmed concerts from his venues on Youtube. Although I guess Wolfgang's Vault owns all of it now. There is a Chicago concert from Tanglewood I like to watch. I would think those shows were filmed on 16 mm film and then they changed over to videotape at some point. You can tell the difference of course.

That boxset is almost 150 bucks. Just about all the Small Faces cds I have do not sound all that great. I guess this was what Mac was talking about (from Billboard):

Thanks for posting that - I forgot it was on tonight.

It seems that the company who put that up is buying up all that sort of stuff. Another great one is Deep Purple doing No, No, No. Not the greatest song, but the footage is cool.

Check out the Ballad of Dwight Fry from the Beat Club (1971). I love those Beat Club rehearsal videos.

Both of those bands have something in common besides The Replacements covering Black Diamond. That is the band Slade. Another band that should be in the Hall of Fame.

For those of you who can handle metal, check out Anthrax doing the KISS song Parasite. It is pretty cool. I'd say Anthrax should be in the hall, but I doubt it will ever happen.

I'd say a good many are fans. There use to be a lot of talk about them on here several years ago. There is a Replacements thread around here somewhere. It's probably more unusual to see someone post that they are not all that much into them.

I have actually never read any Alice Cooper books - at least not that I can recall. I just always figured those original guys went due to some sort of money hassle.

That is true. They are like Rush or Black Sabbath - a band of the people. Although, since Ozzy was on TV some years ago, Black Sabbath has became more acceptable I think.

Alice Cooper was inducted in 2011. That's odd he comes up. I was watching a bunch of Alice Cooper videos yesterday. Probably another band I began listening to as a kid. Actually, one of my earliest memories is hearing School's Out on the radio (1972).

I think they have a lot of junk songs. But - they also have some good ones. (Note: I can say that because they don't mean that much to me. But - I of course respect the fact that to some people they are one of the greatest bands of all times.)

I've liked KISS since I was a kid back in the 70s. And I still listen to them today.

That's funny - half of them are dead too.

I'm not the greatest Replacements fan - but how can an album with Achin' To Be on it be the worst? That's crazy talk. The re-issue has the song Portland on it. I like that song.

I don't think I have ever watched that since it was on TV. I was talking to someone in their 20s about that show the other day. I recall seeing the movie in a almost empty move theater (1992).

If that is true, whoever owns the show rights must have made a deal with all those who own the music. I found a place to watch it online. I do own Due South on dvd. Which is another great show from around that time period.

Waking The Dead (BBC) I guess this show was on for several years. I have only seen seasons 4 and 5 so far. Northern Exposure I have probably not seen Northern Exposure since it was on back in the day. I have started to buy the dvds a few times - but then I read the original music was replaced with some sort of generic music. When you see the crap that is on now - it is hard to believe there was ever such a great show on TV.

I didn't know that. That would be cool to see.

I think Gene said a while back he would not play with Ace and Peter if they got in. There's a lot of bad mouthing that goes back and forth between those guys.

It is odd. They must hate Deep Purple bad.
