I'm coming in from Boston for night 2 (Wednesday). Kicking myself that I'm only catching one show. Meeting NYC buddies there, I'll get you some food and drink place suggetions. Got back yesterday from NYC from the Allmans at the Beacon, ready to turn around and head to the Empire State again.

Love that!

Yes it is superb. Based on the audience energy during this song, I'm pretty certain that "sucks" is a minority view!

Reading the track list and this discussion has me listening to each track in order while riding the Acela to NYC. No doubt to me that A.M. is essential Wilco listening and the A.M. songs represented on the compilation fit right in. It was the sound of that band that is so well captured, and the absolutely crazily good songwriting is evident from the get -go. I also don't disagree with any of the #20's mentioned. The sheer number of great songs is mind-blowing.

The Allman Brothers Band. Last time for me. Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

I agree. So my #20 for each disc would be Summer Teeth and Art of Almost.

I'm getting on the Acela from Boston tomorrow for the show. Show rescheduled from March. Only catching this one show, this will be the last one for me. Thought Lockn' was going to be it when we bought our tickets, which was before they announced the Beacon shows. Been riding this train since soon after the Fillmore album came out, saw them for the first time in '73 at Nassau Coliseum, hoping I go out strong tomorrow!

Don't know the specific date, but I think from last summer's AmericaneramA tour, maybe the Atlanta show? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sucks? Thought that must have been a typo. Love the song. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Right, got it. We spent a bunch of time in the Loft installation, did a bunch of listening. Fantastic stuff in there. I'm a sucker for the gear, and the full wall photo at the end of the room.

I'm not sure what you're referring to? I was at every SS, they did I Love My Label and some tunes from The Whole Love before it was released. Is that what you mean?

Despite my contributions to this thread, I don't pay much attention to the HOF inductions. Reading this thread surprised me to realize Yes is not included. Seems improbable to me. Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

Thinking the same

Pretty damned impressive list of songs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We'll have to go best 2 out of 3 on something Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But somehow Joan Jett gets on the list. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Consequence of Sound republished their 2013 list of the 20 Biggest HOF snubs. http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/10/the-20-worst-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-snubs/full-post/ To Tim's point, The Smiths come in at number 3. "Accolades: Without netting much in the way of Grammys or similar industry nods (sans a few NME awards), the band is often cited as a pioneer of the subsequent Britpop explosion, influencing bands like Oasis, the Stone Roses, and more. The BBC once called The Smiths “the band that inspired deeper devotion than any British group since The Beatles." To my point, Phish

Grace has covered Wilco tunes? Which ones? Saw her at Lockn', that band did kick ass. Plus, I'm always a sucker for a pretty girl in a short dress playing a Flying V!

My childhood roots were what would now be called "jamband" oriented, and I have returned to a lot of those roots, but I lived in Boston in the late '70's and '80's and spent all my musical energies on non jam band music interests. I was pretty familiar with The Smiths for a little while during their early Meat is Murder and next album period, but no doubt I lost touch and interest in them after that. Morrissey really annoys me, in the same way Bono annoys lots of folks. When I think about bands that created an unmatched visual and sonic aesthetic over a measurable period of time, I think of

First, I admit I have no idea what the criteria is for nomination/admission. But the fact that Joan Jett is on the list of nominees is probably the zillionth example that the whole thing is suspect. And I'm sure I can go through the list of actual inductees and find many more in the Joan Jett category. But whatever the criteria are or should be, I have no problem making the case for Phish. I won't bore you and everyone with it here, not my mission to try to influence anyone (not that I could), I'm sure you know what I would say before I even say it. Not only do I love the band, the music

Absolutely, without question. Whatever the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is, and whatever the criteria is or should be, Phish should and will be in. First ballot HOF'ers in my book. Your question is more relevant to Joan Jett's nomination in my view.

Ditto that for me. But would love that icing to be flavored with Los Lobos (Hidalgo played last year) or Lucinda.

This was Phish's first year of eligibility.

And we all thought she was just some random audience member. That makes sense, she could definitely sing. Commenters on FB weren't all too pleased either. Didn't bother me, it amused me. I didn't think Tweedy was amused. But as I said, she could definitely sing.
