Jayne, I'm not sure there is a "sweet spot" for sound in the Riv. Try hanging close to the soundboard, prolly as good as it gets. While the overall sound at the Riv is passable, just be glad the shows arent at the Aragon. Have fun!

Depending on my mood.......my drink of choice can range from vodka on the rocks-dirty, a snifter of French brandy or a glass of AppleJack-neat.

6/9/77 has a great Funicula going on while the crew is getting everything exactly perfect again. That show, btw, rocks.

I heard about that show not too long ago via the GD room on usenet (great site btw, good people there). It was said that Brent was pretty obviously drunk n sloppy during that show and he did have a bit of a breakdown during one particular song, sorry, dont recall which one.

Yeah, Miller rocks. He's tireless in his efforts. Last weekend I was listening to 2/14/68-not Charlies clean up version but good enough-and that feedback towards the end of the show more or less melted my face off. Cripes, the 'X' factor was in force that night......wish I could find more shows with an ending like that!

FYI....a new Charlie Miller clean-up has appeared recently......do with it what you will......my sources say he also did 2/14/68 recently as well.....

Vincent was the 'numb nut' in Full Metal Jacket?? Wow, I never, ever would've known that. He's a pretty good actor.....and good on L&O.........I'm curious though.......was he in prison in last nites episode due to criminal behaviour? Oh yeah....yep, he was in Salton Sea....the meth dealer with the metal nose.

For years, I thought Reagan was the worst the GOP could inflict upon America. I changed my mind about that a couple years ago.

I saw Son Volt back in the late 90s...Martyrs and then a couple weeks later at the Congress. Wow, what boring shows, snoozeville. If I didnt have tix to the Congress show, I wouldnt have gone. But will I listen to Trace or Straightaways? You betcha brother.

Sunken Treasure is exactly what I was thinking of. The recorded version pales in front of the live version.

Anyone besides me think that Wilco's tunes played 'live' are way, way, WAAAAAAY better than their studio versions? Hear me out......over the summer, I scored Being There at a garage sale for a buck. I'd never listened to the album before but was familiar with many of the tunes on it because I'd heard a whole lot of recordings of their live shows. While listening to the album, I was shocked at how trite some of the songs sounded. I was shocked at the overall production value of the album. If I was introduced to Wilco via their recorded albums like Being There rather than their live work, I'd of

Oh. My. Gawd! Hesitating Beauty is a Woody G. tune? I always thought it was penned by JT. I love, LOVE, that song..... especially this lyric "I'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree"....what a neat way to profess one's deep love for another.... I guess I gotta get the Mermaid albums now....I wonder why I delayed in doing so....

Tom's a smart man. If I were him, I'd encourage all the buxom Hollywood starlets to cover my tunes and offer any assistance they need.

Yeah, that'd be cool if I bought it from you. All my shows were in the Midwest except one at Foxboro, MA, 87 thru 95. Back then, I worked at a road construction company, that had a side business of producing road signs. I made a lot of street signs like 'Golden Road' or 'Dead Highway' and whatnot to bring and trade for other goods. They went pretty fast too. I actually got busted by GD Productions at Alpine, who took a bunch of my stock because I wasnt licensed to sell or didnt have copyright authority or something like that. Ok, now I have the memory juices flowing........in 88, I was si

I have that sticker prominently displayed in a collection of stickers I bought on lots while on tour over the years. Its a beauty, one of my favorites. Did you make it?

Pad Prik Catfish.

I saw UT once in the early 90s. Lounge Ax in Chicago. I dragged a bunch of my pals with. I dont recall much which means I was most likely stoned to bejesus. Back then I used to get, honest to god, G-13, indoor grown, that made remembering things and driving cars very difficult. It was very crowded and smokey. I do seem to recall the band all wearing flannel which wasnt that remarkable since it seemed all the bands and cool kids wore flannel back then. They were loud but most bands were loud at Lounge Ax. They just didnt strike me as anything all that special. They were fun but overall, meh. Af

Yeah, that Deer Creek show was a good'un. Nice venue, similar to the old Poplar Creek. Quick story about events surrounding that show......we drove down the night before and pulled into a farm road in the middle of nowhere to party and sleep. The next morning, we were woken up by a State Trooper, who was knocking his flashlight on the hood and saying "This is not a hassle".....he wanted us to split before an angry farmer came after us with his shootin' iron. So we saw the show and being rather tired afterwards, decided to sleep in the car right there in the lot, even though the stated policy

Lay Lady Lay? Peeee-you! One of the few Dylan tunes that I flat out cant stand.....

Everybodys Talking is a great tune.... Who sang it for Midnight Cowboy? I think I have a copy of the Meat Puppets singing 'Everybodys Talkin' somewhere...

I know a guy who believes that 84 was one of the top years in the GD canon.....and he prefers the aud tapes over the boards. Crazy, eh?

Thanks to that rain, I had a creek running through my tent. That made sleeping somewhat difficult so four of us attempted to sleep in a early 80s Toyota Celica hatchback instead. Looking back, the tent would've been more comfortable. It didnt really matter though.....the free-form pharmacy all around us made the situation tolerable.

I stopped making any effort to see them after I had a fence pushed down on me by gatecrashers at Foxboro, MA in 90 or 91. I was bleeding the entire show. I still got the dang 3 inch scar on my bicep. Out of the hundreds of concerts and shows I've seen since 1981, that was the only time I ever got hurt (except the bloody nose I got in a mosh pit during a Beastie Boys show at the Aragon but that doesnt really count). Stoooopid gatecrashers. All in all, almost all my memories of following those guys around were rather pleasant especially the Alpine runs. Gone are the days......

"Sunshine" was pretty cool....except the last third of the film, which was rather mundane and predictable.
