Trying that Kurt Vile link again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd0K76H7sU8

The unboxing of the new May '77 set, looking pretty sweet https://youtu.be/HkS-R87kmkw

I don't know his songbook all that well, but for me it's Wakin On A Pretty Day, and everything else. https://youtu.be/bd0K76H7sU8%C2%A0 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking forward to getting my hands on this one, the last of the late fall FM broadcast shows (unless I'm forgetting they did multiple nights at the FF). A great little tour. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What catches my eye? Jeff solo acoustic, from the Loft. It all catches my eye.

Love the idea (I already responded to the FB survey). One thought: you suggest everyone wear their shirt for the Friday night show. Would it be better to suggest Saturday, as most folks will be on site for all or most of Saturday and more easily identified? Lots of folks, myself included, will be pulling in late afternoon/early evening on Friday. Just a thought.

I never got the digital download of Laminated Cat with my vinyl pre-order. Anyone else have an issue getting that?

Nice! A Fulbright Scholar, a big deal!

I was wondering when your photos would show up! Great spending time with you at Brown Sugar. We all really liked the show. I skipped them last time through Boston, glad to have caught at show on this tour, like the current album a lot. You're right, Farrar just doesn't age. I want what he's got!

That's good to hear. I'm not a Wolf fan, and I thought he was an odd choice for SS. This is encouraging.

So much for SS '17. It was always an alternate fact.

Exactly my thought! Hope to see you there. Will be at Brown Sugar before if you want to catch up for some dinner.

Great! I am in such need of a show.

Well, just to clear my name here, I am a casual Social D fan, so please don't put me in the "douche bag" category! I am not close enough to the band's scene or fans to have any opinion on what goes on there, but I've listened to/seen a lot of punk rockabilly over the years and don't agree with the blanket characterization. Anyhow, I've always liked Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll, Hard TImes and Nursery Rhymes and other releases including Ness' solo Cheating at Solitaire, and always had fun seeing them. So I'll just keep on with the occasional listening and seeing them and take the douche bag sl

Son Volt

I'm not going to be ashamed to stand up and say I've always liked Social D. Like their albums, like their shows. So there you have it.

Love that shot Tim! I don't know if this qualifies as a "memory," but the other thing I love about the first SS are the two Tinnitus Photography photos framed and hanging in my office with the SS booklet.

I had 2 ballot stuff campaigns going. Marquee Moon. And with a bunch of friends, Tweezer. MM was sort of a no-brainer, I was not surprised they did it (especially after having then recently read that Tweedy had taken guitar lessons from Lloyd). Tweezer was a long shot, but I'd still be chuckling today if they did that. There were quite a bunch of folks requesting Tweezer. That first SS was special, for being the first and a step into the unknown, and for being so small and intimate. The Tweedy show on Sunday was a perfect way to close it out.

Perhaps my "best" SS memory, probably because it's recorded and I get to re-live it. The 2013 All Request show. After having SS in 2010 and 2011, with a hiatus in 2012, I had no idea what to expect for the all-request show, but when they hit the stage and launched into "The Boys Are Back in Town, I cracked up laughing out loud. There could not have been a better first song for the all request show. The boys were indeed back in town. I still break out into a big smile every time I listen. Always makes me happy to hear that.

Yes! And Yes! That Real Estate courtyard set to the video projections was mesmerizing. The Levon Helm Sunday afternoon set was a highlight of all the SS's. I have a nice shot of Levon and Glenn playing together. I cherish that photo. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The freight train rumbling by in the middle of Wilco's set. I think that happened twice? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That St. Paul 2-17-73 HCS is probably my favorite version of them all. The movement into China Cat is one of the best pure seamless transition jams. I remember bringing this to a friend's birthday party about 20 years ago (all Deadheads in attendance) and heads were snapping right and left when this played. https://archive.org/details/gd1973-02-17.sbd.ashley-field.32875.sbeok.flac16

Garcia is so damn ALIVE on this. On a plane listening again. Must be the 4th time I've listened since I got it. I could also mention how great the TLEO is, not the slow crawl of a song it could be. "Fucking stellar" is right about the recording.
