  1. As for the Strand shows, I can't point to specific shows, other than to say Steppin Out, which is culled from I think 7 UK shows during this tour, is freaking fantastic. So if you're looking for more single shows, I'd track down whichever shows the NFA>Bo Diddley>NFA, adn Rockin Pneumonia and Dark Star>Sugar Mag are from and get those. Not to say you shouldn't get any of the other shows represented on this set, get em all!
  2. Just finished watching the Weir documentary. Loved it, a "must watch" in my book. The guy went and created the reality of his dreams. The director does a nice job shining the light on Weir as really the most unique second guitar player. Could watch his guitar playing all the time, especially those '72-74 China/Riders.

  3. Thanks for the review Tim. You going today also? I'd love to see Jason Isbell, but can't make it. Too bad, this likely means he otherwise won't be in the area for a while.
  4. I've never been but it looks to me like it has to be the worst place ever to hold an all day and night music festival. My office is in a tower next door, and to look out on that plaza of concrete and brick makes me wonder how people can spend all that time standing on their feet there. I won't do it.

  5. Another in a long line of Tinnitus Photography bands I've never heard of!
  6. English Beat Mirror in the Bathroom Best Friend Stand Down Margaret Get-a-Job Save it for Later
  7. Wilco gets in on Dave's last day with a #thanksDave tweet of this performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd-1zwWYGKU&feature=youtu.be
  8. Foo Fighters announces as the final musical guest for tonight. Underwhelming choice to me, I can't stand them.
  9. After watching Letterman religiously for many years, many years ago, I hadn't watched much for a long time. I've been recording Jon Stewart (and Chelsea Lately before that ended) every night, so not enough time in the day to also watch Dave. But over the last month I've been recording Letterman every night and really enjoying every minute of each of the shows. I'm still behind, but will end up watching them all. i don't disagree with the comment that the writing has declined, but the video clips they've been showing have been great, as have the A+ guest list of people who have showed up the
  10. "Jeff Tweedy has grown into one of the great rock songwriters of all time. I’d put him right up there in the hallowed “second tier” alongside guys like Pete Townshend and Ray Davies." Wrong, I'd put him right up there in the hallowed first tier, alongside guys like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. "But Wilco is a musical collective, and Tweedy has surrounded himself with some of the best rock musicians playing today, in particular drummer Glenn Kotche and lead guitarist Nels Cline. In my eyes there’s nobody better today than these two." Don't know I can say that about Nels since there's such
  11. I agree, Collapse Into Now is an excellent and sorely underrated album. After a few not so good ones. And I also miss that band very much.
  12. For your streaming pleasure, DBT from Mountain Stage: http://www.npr.org/2015/05/18/407751999/drive-by-truckers-on-mountain-stage
  13. Been spending some time over the last couple of days with my favorite May '77 show, Buffalo on May 9. Heck, one of my favorite shows from any era. Have listened to it innumerable times over the years. If anyone hasn't, I suggest you do. Especially the matrix that is in circulation. I'd be happy to set up a Dropbox link if anyone wants it.
  14. Wish I had gotten this release, if for no other reason than starting in '73, the Academy of Music was our home away from home, growing up in Nassau County. Didn't catch any of the '72 Dead shows there, but so many amazing nights were spent in that theater.
  15. Dare I ask, a metal festival? I'm pretty sure you weren't at Hangout.

  17. It's my favorite tour (I'm not alone I know), but I'm no expert on each individual show, but if 4/26 is the Hundred Year Hall show, I can give that a huge thumb's up. I ended up buying the full show when it became available.
  18. Just to be clear, only because they are no longer available for purchase.
  19. I'm happy to Dropbox these to anyone who wants them Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. I like this list. My original response likely failed to note the continual presence of the Dead from '73 to the present with the exception of '81 until September of '87 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
