Agree with you on Jim Elkington.

I grew up as a huge fan of The Who. I think I've seen four "farewell tours." I thought about going but decided against shelling out the $$$ for a ticket at United Center. Friends of mine who went had a good time and I had a tinge of regret, but I've seen them live many times and prefer to remember them when they were a bit closer to their prime. While I rarely listen to any of their music these days, I think I've never loved a band more than I loved The Who when I was young. Long Live Rock.

I just finished watching both seasons of The Rehearsal on HBO. It alternated between hilarious, awkward, uncomfortable and bizarre. Ultimately, I settled on "brilliant." But it's not for everyone - or even for most people.

Agreed. Show was great - excellent set list. James McMurtry Concert Setlist at FitzGerald's Nightclub, Berwyn on August 15, 2025 | setlist.fm

*Sigh* had tickets for this one, but had to sell them after I was advised by my wife that her family reunion in Boston was a better "option" for me last weekend. When I purchased the tickets, I was a little put-off by the "premier zone" option. Did folks in the premier zone get to stand closest to the rail? Grey Poupon?

I've got two for sale. Message me if you are interested.

New one from The Minus 5.
