Good topic. The Talking Heads were one of my main bands throughout their entire span, but I recently listened to the first 2 albums and they didn't hold up for me. I think there's probably a lot of that in my catalogue from those years. Much more recently, first listen through Arcade Fire's Reflektor was great. Each time I've gone back to it, not so much. I'm the complete opposite from Vacant Horizon about Being There and Summerteeth, especially BT. Love that album as much today as I did when it was released.

My "essentials" that fit the topic heading: The Jam, Ramones, Clash.

That is excellent!

Watched the entire show today. Being There remains to this day my favorite Wilco album. I can't come up with words to do justice to how good this show is. Just watch it everybody!

Didn't listen to any Ramones records today. Watched this on You Tube instead. 1 2 3 4! http://youtu.be/IVhjBmcOP30

Neil just announced 2 Evening With shows in Boston in early October, at the Wang Theater. In usual Neil fashion, tickets top out at $350 plus service charges.

Hard for me to believe, but every one of the 4 original Ramones has now passed. Gonna bust out my Ramones records today. GABA Gabba Hey! Saw them for the first time upstairs at Max's Kansas City with my brother. First of many times. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2014/07/12/us/ap-us-obit-ramone.html?_r=1

Last shows I saw were the Albany run in spring '95. There may have been some "moments" in each of those shows, but no show was worthy or a releas. I do remember a Days Between that was striking, but I would have to check the set lists to be sure. The other clear memory I have is during Black Peter when Jerry sang the line about laying in his bed dying, my friend and I turned to each other and each gave a knowing look. That's how pathetic Jerry looked and sounded. The fall'94 run in Boston also had some moments, but not enough for a complete release. The last great run of shows I saw was

I listened to the first few minutes and then had to leave my desk and missed the rest. Any discussion about Wilco in 2014?

Forget that, he's introducing the show now

Is anyone hearing the Tweedy show? I'm streaming WXRT but am hearing songs playing that are definitely not Tweedy.

a cool $240. I'm on the fence, will probably sell out before I decide to buy (just as the complete Europe '72 box did, to my amazement).

Wish I could. Let us know how it was. I don't even know who is in the band these days. I assume Howe and Squire, and no Jon Anderson? Sent from my PM23300 using Tapatalk

Ha! No, I'm not a hater of that song.

Well, I'm a lawyer, and I move to strike from this topic all references to You Never Know.

Damn, there are a lot of Section 2 seats available. I would have done that had I known. It's still Harborlights to me.

Strong consensus building for Less Than You Think.

Thanks for the heads up Mr. Charlie. I (only) paid $5.65 for shipping/handling. I chose the least expensive option.

AM - Dash 7 Being There - (Was I) In Your Dreams (I was tempted to refuse to pick anything from BT) Summerteeth - In a Future Age YHF - Radio Cure AGIB - Less Than You Think SBS - Please Be Patient With Me WTA - Everlasting Everything TWL - Sunloathe

Where are they playing? I totally missed that.

I'm a sucker for colored vinyl, pre-ordered the yellow vinyl. At $35 plus shipping, very pricey. Hope I like the music.

Picking 1 is REALLY HARD! I reserve the right to change my mind daily. AM - I Must Be High Being There - Monday Summerteeth - Summer Teeth YHF - Ashes AGIB - Handshake Drugs SBS - Impossible Germany WTA - You Never Know TWL - Art of Almost

Happy 4th of July. Wave that flag!

I usually do! Looking forward to hearing these Fuego songs stretched out from the stage.
