The track listing to this release is unbelievable. Can't wait. Deserves its own topic.

Turns out we started watching the primary coverage and I never got to this. I would like to buy it and watch it over the weekend if they do that. Phil with Warren and Krasno hits my sweet spot. I'm less of a Herring fan.

At about the 5 minute mark of Lemieux's Seaside Chat, he goes into an explanation of getting the original master reels back in the vault. They did a deal with the guy who had ownership of them, who was not Betty.

I think I'm going to couch tour the Phil Lesh show, with Warren and Krasno.

Just announced, the July 1978 Betty Boards official box set release: http://www.dead.net/store/1970s/july-1978-complete-recordings?intcmp=home/carousel1 I had those Red Rocks shows on cassette years ago, I always thought they were great, haven't heard the others in this box.

That's a solid list, I wouldn't disagree with anything on there. Without looking at the discography, a few off the top of my head additions from my collection: Winterland '73 box set (I'm partial to '73), a great companion to the Winterland '77 box Dick's Picks, 1973 Boston Music Hall GD Movie box set May '77 box set Dick's Pick from Columbus OH, Halloween 1971. I think its DP #2. A single disc, awesome show Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fillmore East April '71 4 disc set The Nassau Coliseum, Branford Marsalis spring 1990 show

Monday, just now in Morning Joe

Johnny D's has been a landmark music honkytonk club and restaurant in Somerville for 47 years. It is shutting its doors for good on Sunday, going out in style with a free show and then a Second Line parade. The Boston Globe has some great coverage of the closing, including a sidebar piece of various people sharing their memories. Included is this memory from Brian Rosenworcel of Guster, recalling seeing Wilco there while he was still mourning the Tupelo breakup: BRIAN ROSENWORCEL, Guster We would stop at Johnny D’s regularly, first as the opener and eventually as a headliner — I mean, it

Thanks for the encouragement. I just saw the show is sold out, so lots of folks want to see them. I got tix mostly because my kids and all their friends (whose musical tastes I respect) really like them, and they turned my wife on. The only release I have is Depression Cherry, which is just so-so in my view. My son tells me they released another album right after that which is much better, I should check that out today.

Beach House (not really sure why I'm going, but I'm going)

Cool, I'm interested to hear what the show is like. Did you see them in their time?

Seeing the Allman Brothers topic light up certainly got my attention. I've had this show for a while. (I thought it was a WLIR show). It's a good one, and I'll gladly purchase the official release on April Fool's Day (assuming this is all not some prank )

Looking forward to it. I haven't taken the drive to Providence for a show in many years. This venue looks very nice, almost too nice?

I was at that Hunter Center show. I was right up front so my sightlines were good, but the sound wasn't very. Went to Hartford the next night and saw them in one of the best sounding rooms I've been in, was quite the juxtaposition. Never too early to think about the next SS.

Drive By Truckers

I looked at your albums from last night Tim, great shots (again). And that one of Pino, geez, he should run for Prez in the GOP (if you know what I mean

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry and encouraged me to go to the show. I scored a floor ticket yesterday morning and had a great time finally seeing the Who. I have no previous Who tours to compare it to, but I thoroughly enjoyed the greatest hits setlist and finally getting to see Townsend play electric guitar. Adding to my night was getting together pre-show with Mr. Tinnitus Photography for some beers and dinner and 90 minutes of talking about music. Excellent night for me all around.

Speaking of '71, although I didn't dig it out this weekend, one of my favorites is Fillmore East 4-28-71. I've been listening to that Dark Star>St. Stephen>NFA>GDTRFB>NFA segment with TC since about '75, and it stills sends chills down my spine how good it is.

That's an even better score!

I scored a floor seat this morning from Ticketbastard , 6th row of Section D on the center aisle. Face value. I saw that lodge ticket for $125 on Stub Hub, but I thought it was being sold as a pair, so I grabbed the floor seat. I thought about holding out for a ticket drop later today but I couldn't spend all day looking for tickets Let me know where you end up. I want to see Tal, so I'll be inside by 7:30.

The Who

My 1971 throwback weekend continues with a spin through Three From the Vault, Portchester 2-19-71. I think it was Garcia who called this band the "shoot em up cowboy bar band", or something like that. Hits the mark. This was a couple of years before I caught on, but this was a good deal of the GD music we listened to at the time. The band really swings.

me neither. I'd like to get a decent lodge seat but not at hundreds of $$

I'm going to keep looking for a single, will only go if I get a good seat.
