Finished listening to both discs of SRO. Really like em, right up my alley. Can't believe I've missed this band all these years. Getting tickets tomorrow for the Boston show.

I've now listened to 3 of the Largo shows. Each one is great, and is my "favorite", if you know what I mean. Yes, he has a cold, which he frequently refers to, but does not detract from the overall performance or my enjoyment. Lots of hysterical banter. Particularly the conversion to Judaism during the last night. And if you get a chance, listen to the Fillmore show up on bt.etree first. Not here's some great banter about the SF v. LA rivalry, which he then picks up on during the first Largo show. Totally hysterical, all the more so having heard the Fillmore show. Four nights leads to lo

So why is WTA different from any other Wilco album?

Thx. Disc 1 of SRO sounds great

I'm late to the Drive-By Truckers. They're coming to Boston and I've wanting to catch up with their music and see them. So yesterday I was buying music and noticed one of their cd's prominently displayed in a recommendation rack. I assumed it was something current and never looked at the year until I got home and realized what I bought, Southern Rock Opera, is from 2001. So, my question, how representative is this of the current sound and lineup of the band? Would welcome suggestions for other releases to get.

This is a pretty good take on what separates the Dead from other bands: the songs. You can always quibble with a "best of" list, but this writer does an excellent job making the point, hard to argue that any of these tunes don't rate. http://www.stereogum.com/1628522/the-10-best-grateful-dead-songs/list/

Somehow missed that show. Haven't seen him in a long time. One of the big regrets of my rock n roll career was back in the day going to see REM at the Harvard Gym, must have been the time of Radio Free Europe/Murmur, with Hüsker Dü opening. We weren't familiar with HD at the time, and my wife and I spent their set outside. Within a few months I was kicking myself over that. Sorry for the topic diversion.

Is the HoJo's in N. Adams?

Is that The Willows Motel in Williamstown?

Commence countdown

I would definitely do that, I had no idea. Thanks for the tip. Next time.

I thought the announcement was that the 25th was the "anniversary" show. I got tix for that night.

Dwork gives this performance a "hot and cold" review in the Compendium. I'm taking a pass.

I'm thinking of going to Lockin Festival in September. Was not excited to see Ratdog added to the lineup.

I have to get out more, and find more time (less work, less tv). I think the only band mentioned so far that I've even heard of is God Street Wine. Other than that I would think this topic is fictional.

Great night. Like it on a Friday rather than Sunday. Place was packed, hot and sweaty. My friend who I was with and I both thought it was a better night than 2 years ago, higher energy in the crowd. Lots of calls for Johnny, and whooping and hollering and general mayhem during Cracker's set. I liked the Camper Van set much better last night than last time. Although I always prefer Cracker, love hearing Johnny play, and I like the Cracker songbook better. Can't give a set list, but all the usual suspects were played. CVB played Matchstick Men second song in, which surprised me (although

Yes, but I think previous years were on Sunday. My memory is I didn't go lays year because was the same night as the Pats in the AFC championship game. When that game ended I wish I had gone to the show.

Theater 1839, SF July '77? Recently got that as one of a 3 pack of Pure Jerry releases. Love it.

too early for you to get out? set times are 8:30 and 10:00

FYI tickets still available, but they expect to be SO by time doors open at 8:00
