Didn't see a topic for TTB, so I'm starting one, and starting with a link to stream of the new soon to be released album. Sounds great. http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2016/01/22/tedeschi-trucks-band-let-me-get-by-album-stream/

The Portland show at the State Theater is a GA show. Does anyone know how the theater is configured for this? I've never been there, but I assumed it's a theater setting, like the Orpheum. But since it's a GA show, maybe not?

Wilco in Pittsburgh tonight for first show of 2016. Anybody around here going?

Boston Globe gave her new album a very good review on Friday: "But on her third solo album since the Furnaces embarked on an extended break, Friedberger proves herself a master of the singer-songwriter confessional, with sun-dappled tracks that have the easiness of loose-limbed country-rock without being afraid to offer a peek at the beating heart lurking underneath."

What, have all you VC'ers stopped going to shows in '16? Lettuce for me tonight Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Here's the grids for the club shows. These cubes will fill in as shows are announced. If you look now at second weekend, only 4 clubs are listed. There will be dozens listed as time goes on. I also subscribe to various club email lists to get announcements directly. There always ends up being more shows that I want to go to than I can physically get to. http://www.jazzfestgrids.com/

Both Iglesias and Jonas playing first weekend, so I didn't pay any attention. They will probably draw big crowds, but there's so many other stages/tents to wander over to.

I'm really happy with the second weekend lineup. Tedeschi Trucks, Neil, MMJ. Lobos, Elvis, Beck, Gary Clark, Jr., Mavis, and all the NOLA regulars, etc.

If you haven't seen this, I would encourage you to get to RR. I caught the Boston Pops show at Symphony Hall, a great night of music.

After a couple of years' hiatus, heading back to NOLA with a buddy for second weekend of JazzFest. Any other VC'ers going? So much fun. Today's a big day, the lineup and daily schedule gets announced. Although my experience has been its always a blast regardless of any preconceived notions I've had about the daily lineup. So much music of every kind, I always find something to blow my mind at every time slot on some random stage or other. And the food....

I had never heard of this singer until this week when my son sent me a link to the NPR "First Listen" of her new album New View. Really liking this new album. I'm sure folks around here must know her, and Fiery Furnaces. What's people's take on her? Should I be listening to her previous work? Anybody seen her live?

Keep those votes going folks!

Wow, that's a great lineup. I would love to get to this one. I just booked JazzFest with a buddy, don't know how many more festival weekends I have in me, or how many more weekends my wife will put up with me disappearing. My wife has always been awesome about me hitting the road for concerts, even when we had 2 little kids at home. I also have Lockn' on my tentative schedule. Decisions decisions.

Love that, my trainer turned me on to that a number of years ago. Had never heard the Black Album, or listen to Jay-Z at all before. Would work out to it. It's a fun album.

SRV is listed in the liner notes as a member of the band on "lead guitar." Not listed as to any specific song. Nile Rogers is listed as "guitar." I assume from that SRV plays throughout the record, or at least every guitar lead on the record.

Came home from work tonight to play some Bowie vinyl, which I haven't done in years. I get to Let's Dance, and I see in the liner notes SRV is the lead guitar player on this album. I had no memory of that. Definitely snapped my head back. RIP Mr. Stardust/Thin White Duke. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That will likely require a trip from Boston. Just started listening, 30 seconds ago! That will likely require a trip down from Boston. Will be a tough ticket.

New Courtney tune dropped, Three Packs A Day. http://www.stereogum.com/1852341/courtney-barnett-three-packs-a-day/mp3s/?utm_source=sc-fb&utm_medium=ref&utm_campaign

According to Wilco's twitter feed, a new Wilco show has been added: June 1, Clay Center, Charleston, WV

Shocked to get this news alert this morning. Spent time on Friday listening to his new album. With the release of the new album and his birthday last week, his name was present a lot in all media. Never caught a word of his being ill. Wow.

I'm seeing 3 shows, Portland and 2 Orpheum. Here's my ballot stuffing requests: Portland: I Must Be High (my ringtone) Orpheum 1: She's A Jar (wife's favorite Wilco song) Orpheum 2: Summer Teeth (my favorite Wilco song) Any help would be welcome. I'll ramp up my Too Far Apart and Blue Eyed Soul requests

Come to think of it, there aren't as many as I thought (excluding Wilco): Lobos Lucinda Warren Haynes Derek/Susan

Here's a link to it http://www.spin.com/2016/01/courtney-barnett-depreston-song-exploder-stream/?utm_source=spinfacebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=spinfacebook Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just saw that Courtney and Depreston are the latest Song Exploder podcast treatment. Haven't listened yet, but have the podcast downloaded and cued up to listen to during my morning commute. Should be good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Been thinking about the chances of getting the full Star Wars treatment. Particularly those stops where they are doing 2 shows, like Boston. Feels like they should keep doing it so everyone gets to hear it as a set piece, but I'm seeing 3 consecutive shows so I would be ok not hearing it each show.
