  1. Would it kill you to sit through a couple minutes of a drum solo while everyone else goes and sits down for a couple minutes? :P

    The story goes that on occasion, when Bonahm would launch into his drum solo, other members of Zeppelin actually left the building (back to the hotel, across the street for a drink). Even if it's not true, it's a good story.

  2. The last time I saw U2, Bono said something to the effect of "this is the end of our set and we are supposed to walk off now and come back for an encore but we'll just play some more" and they didn't leave the stage. Still not exactly what earlier posts asked for but a little more honest anyway.

  3. Hmm - that is pretty good.

     

    at the JLC

    The Who is trying to get $198.75, $128.75 and $68.75

    Bad Religion/Drop Kick Murphys - one price $39.25

    would have liked to see the Who one more time, but no.

    Looks like Canadian prices for Bob top out at $85. Way more than the $8.80 I paid to see him the first time but certainly reasonable compared to The Who. Over $200 in Ottawa (Kanata actually). The good news is that sales are slow and I think it will be easy to pick up greatly reduced seats the night of the show.

  4. - Finally starting the foundation for the deck I was going to build in May (and in June).

    - Spending time in arenas, watching my son play lacrosse

    - Listening to some "new" CDs (Something Anything, The Name of This Band Is...., The Look of Love -- the Burt Bacharach Collection, Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy)

    - Vodka/tonic

  5. Bad news:

     

     

    Hello Rick,

    I hope our presence at the fest was a positive one. I sure had fun.

    Although Wilco was my personal highlight, we were not allowed to record

    them. They like total creative control.

    Check out Michael Franti that we did. It'll air this fall.

  6. Was it the price point? Did u anticipate the mocking by JT? I thought $54 was quite reasonable for a 10th row aisle seat, and it was the worst VIP seat to be had.

    It was more the principle than the money; I already had paid for a festival pass and another $55 seemed a bit much. But mostly, it's just the idea of it. This thing has really become too corporate and I can't think of many acts that will get me back to that main stage. (3 off the top of my head). Can't blame you though - I certainly considered it. Although I did have to sweat it out, and doubt that I'm any younger than you, I did end up with a prime spot with a festival wrist band only.

     

    Did anyone catch Son Volt on Tuesday?

    Yeah and they were great. Really good lineup this year.

  7. Where do they usually broadcast these performances? I'll try and keep my eyes open for this.
