I've never had any interest in seeing his solo band, but after listening to this podcast, and seeing that lineup (wow!), I'm in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Steven Hyden's latest podcast at Celebration Rock is an interview with Mike Gordon. Mike is a very interesting and chatty guy! https://audioboom.com/channel/celebration-rock

Thanks for the recommendation. Between work, listening to music, the New Yorker, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, and all the tv shows I try to keep up with, I have a hard time reading books. But I will try to get to this on my next vacation.

Thanks for the pointer. Lots of titles I'd want to read there. One I know I won't be reading is Mr. Tinnitus Photography's favorite, the Master of Reality book. As I've told Tim, my first rock concert was Sabbath at the Academy of Music on the Master of Reality tour. And I've spent the last 37 years wondering why!

Thanks for this topic. I'm not familiar with this series. Are these hard copy books? I'll have to start reading!

Nice to see VC will be well represented at Arcade Fire tonight. Our seats are in Loge 21. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Arcade Fire

I just booked Hotel340. Looks nice, walking distance.

Any suggestions for a nice hotel in walking distance to the Palace in St. Paul?

Antibalas

Love that!

Here in Boston on Friday. Not a huge fan, but it's a show I can see with my wife which makes it fun. We caught them last time they were here. Have fun!

Damn, taking most if not all of 2018 off? I already am jonesing for a Wilco show (last seen at Solid Sound), the thought of having to wait until 2019 is kind of a major bummer!

Love the song, love the video! Sucks that I'll be out of town when the tour hits Boston. (well, I'll be in Nashville with friends celebrating a birthday, so I shouldn't complain, but you know what I mean...)

My Daughter's Wedding

This popped up today on my feed as a Facebook memory. The August 2010 article in Berkshire Living that I linked to is no longer available, but I quoted a portion of it: OK, I think this reviewer got it exactly right: “Beauty” is not an aesthetic value that ranks high on the list for rock music. But it’s the word I keep coming back to when going over last night’s stunning, transcendent concert by Wilco. Beauty. In every sense of the word. The music was beautiful. The setting was beautiful; downright gorgeous. The visuals – the lighting and tableaux – were beautiful. The weather was beauti

That first one was something special. Like our own private little party in the Berkshires.

That's a good show, have fun!

The New Mastersounds

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be buying at least a couple more. I couch-toured the 8/2 show(didn't buy the mp3 combo), and loved it.

Love Katy Tur. "I wonder if the Republicans are going to split open and melt." Just one among the many great references. https://www.jambase.com/article/msnbc-host-katy-tur-works-10-phish-references-meet-press

This was an amazing feat. 236 different songs over 13 nights. The brain power and talent to be able to pull that off, 4 individual musicians in sync over that amount of material, performed in front of 18,000+ people, is beyond comprehension to me. Regardless of what one may think of their music. Having watched or listened to most, what would be your top 3 or so suggestions to buy. I bought the Red Velvet download, and did the pay per view for last Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I want to have the last night. Any others you suggest? Short of all 13.

Of course I also don't think about "supremacy" when at a show, or listening to music anywhere. I think his point that traditionally the music industry, not necessarily the artists themselves or music fans, measures success in numbers of albums sold as reflected in standing on the music charts (with a bullet!). When many bands and their fans couldn't give a hoot about album sales or chart standings. You'll never see Phish (or any other number of bands) on the charts, but that they can deliver something like the Bakers Dozen, to an ecstatic fan base, doesn't get measured. It's an old and oft rep
