  1. Family Ghost is on Setlist FM's set list for Kingston, Ontario on April 8th. I don't see any mention of it on that show's thread.
  2. Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to look and see how many records I missed. I think the last thing that I remember them putting out was Stormtrooper (?) or Clones.
  3. A couple of my friends drove from MA to Port Chester, NY for the show last week. They said it was excellent. "As long as you have Chris Robinson singing, you can put any musicians behind him" was what they said about the show. I looked at the setlist and it was primarily all Black Crowes tunes. Relix had a webcast of that show. RE: Ash I didn't think that Ash was still performing. Saw them open for Coldplay in 2002 & also caught them do an in store at Newbury Comics around Boston. A few years after I caught a Boston club show & they were awesome. After that they seemed to fade away f
  4. http://www.u2songs.com/news/spoilers_u2eitour_rehearsal_day_six_report_april_14_2018 It looks like U2 ran through what could be the set list for the tour. I'm extremely excited with what they're rehearsing. You can follow the link for "spoilers".
  5. Awesome! It's pretty easy to use & doesn't take long to load. Yeah, that was a great game. Huge Red Sox fan myself.
  6. I saw them in June at Gillette Stadium and his voice sounded amazing. Perhaps she saw them when they came back in the fall. Bono's voice sounded meh during the SNL performance in December.
  7. No problem. Let me know how you like it.
  8. Yes, that's always been one of my favorites. It was rehearsed in Hershey, PA right before the start of the Outside Broadcast tour (Zoo TV) in 1992. It has never seen the light of day on stage. I hope that it's played on this tour.
  9. Yes. True. I live around the Boston footprint, so I already get NESN to watch the Red Sox. I can't watch those games on MLB Extra Innings or MLB.tv. They get blacked out. I get out of work at 10pm EST on 4 out of the 5 week nights, so I like to come home and catch a West Coast game.
  10. Yes. If I want to try to watch a game on my cell phone or computer, I can with an MLB.com account.
  11. So I'm paying $163 for the MLB Extra Innings HD package which surprisingly includes access to MLB.tv which I can get on my Apple TV. It includes every game in HD on Comcast & access to every broadcast, so I can flip between Rockies & Pirates broadcasts of the same game. MLB.tv is similar except you can also get the radio broadcast from either team. I haven't tried that yet, but I've enjoyed watching games both ways. The Apple TV broadcasts buffer for a few seconds, but the quality is amazing. Edit: I had to create an MLB.com account in order to get into MLB.tv on my Apple TV. I re
  12. I am. I'll post more about what I can get with my Comcast MLB Extra Innings HD package in a bit. (at eye doc now)
  13. Funny you should say that. I'm hearing rumors that U2 might not play anything off of The Joshua Tree on this tour, since they played the whole album last year on the stadium tour. I think something like that would happen for the first couple of shows and then they'd feel the need to add a few songs from it. A lot of what I've been hearing has been pointing to a very heavy 90s U2 on this tour. The songs that were worked on last night include The Fly, Until The End Of The World, Lights Of Home and (spoiler text) Acrobat.
  14. A few interesting tidbits regarding U2's next tour which kicks off next month in Oklahoma City: U2 posted a rehearsal video of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses to their social media page. Extremely cool to see this one possibly dusted off for the tour. Then Rolling Stone had a quote from Willie Williams (creative director of tour) that mentioned that this tour should feature some rarities that U2 will play live for the first time. We'll see about that. It's also expected to feature some "augmented reality". The screen is supposed to have 9 times the resolution as the one used on the 20
  15. So.....Neil Finn is replacing Lindsey Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac?! I don't think anyone saw this one coming. I was looking forward to some possible Neil Finn shows later this year. I'm curious to see how this plays out on their upcoming tour.
  16. I just finished the first episode of Altered Carbon which I thought was excellent. The concepts, production design and the story drew me in right away. I had read the synopsis of the book awhile ago, but to see it and experience it as a tv show was exciting. If you like sci-fi and film noir, go ahead and check it out.
  17. Steven Soderbergh's Mosaic - This was an awesome limited series on HBO that originally started out as an App where you control the narrative. I enjoyed the story & characters so much that I want to download the App for a different experience. There were hardly any promos for this show which actually ran Monday through Friday of last week. The App came out sometime in the fall.
  18. On the eighth day of Christmas my Wilcos gave to me Eight Late Greats Seven screams of nothing Six musicians playing Five Bull Black Novas Four dreamers dreaming Three God shaped holes Two intertwined IG guitars And a blinking macrame owl onstage
  19. I zipped right through Wormwood which I found completely fascinating & engrossing. I had fun with the recent Jumanji. I wonder if the Jack Black character will cause some controversy in some circles. I thought that The Greatest Showman was ok. It had way too much music and not enough plot/dialog. I think if it had a competing vision by someone like Tim Burton without the music I would have found that version more interesting. The "freaks" are just there without any backstory at all.
  20. Regarding Ren/Rey: it depends on if you believe that Kylo Ren is telling the truth to Rey about her parents. We might find out in the next episode. If he IS telling a lie, then he is doing the opposite of Darth Vader telling Luke the truth about his real parents. The timing of Kylo Ren killing Snoke is interesting because it shows that he can potentially be given a lot more power than Vader ever had, since Vader didn't end up killing Emperor Palpatine until he started to attack Luke in Jedi at the very end of the movie. It looks like Ren will be the main villain in the next episode or there
  21. I loved Star Wars. I saw it last night in a hot & packed theater. I thought that Three Billboards was the angriest film of the year and one of the best. I'd definitely see it again over the next few weeks. Last Flag Flying was a pure pleasure to watch. Linklater wrote a great script here & Bryan Cranston was the standout character. This was a "spiritual" sequel to the 70s The Last Detail. I liked Lady Bird, but I didn't love it. I really enjoyed Zoe Lister-Jones' directorial debut Band Aid. Couple decides to put their fights to music. Fred Armisen plays a great "weird" neig
  22. I didn't care for the SNL performance either. It seemed strange to do American Soul with the Kendrick Lamar intro & then do Get Out Of Your Own Way with Bono doing the Lamar part on the bullhorn during the outro. Maybe if they had flipped them? The bullhorn worked during Bullet The Blue Sky on the Innocence & Experience Tour. I hope that it doesn't get used in a lot of songs on the next tour. I'm still loving the album. Here's U2 performing All I Want Is You with an orchestra. This will be on the BBC Dec 19th. Closest the song has sounded to the album. Also love the long Walk To
  23. I have high hopes for the Netflix series Altered Carbon. I've never read the book, but the Wiki synopsis sounds amazing. I'll try to track it down and read it soon. I knew that they were producing the show, but I'm stunned that it's coming already on Feb 2nd next year. There's a teaser out there & it looks pretty good. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_Carbon I started The Crown a few nights ago. I was afraid that it would be a bit laborious to get through like Godless. Despite that notion I enjoyed Godless and thought that the shoot out in the last episode was choreographed &

    A.M. Deluxe?

    This was posted on the official Wilco Twitter feed today. These look cool. Now I need to go back & see if they have them.
