Vacant Horizon

also glad to hear mike being excited about the shows!

thanks for posting this. so glad to hear the band rehearsing and enjoying the long tunes. also, i'm glad the band is being intentional about taking care of themselves first and foremost. this will make the music last and it will remain good. i'm reminded of the book Garcia, his biography where it's made clear that garcia was not taking care of himself and felt all the pressure of the DEAD corporation on his back. too bad, because it all suffered and he died for it. there was a point after his coma that he wanted to just concentrate on the jerry band. i wish he had done that and i hope ph

Chalk Dust opener! YEM 2nd set opener. but i would love to see them do something just totally crazy like iculus or weekapaug>mikes!

right on cortez!

NO WAY is it better than Deja Vu!!

totally forgot about the reunion. don't really listen to the band anymore, but still keep up with the happenings. two of my old phish/dead touring buddies are heading out to the shows. it's the first time any of us actually went to a run of shows with money for a nice hotel room etc. the fact that the boys are releasing the shows immediately makes me think that they are practicing their asses off. i know trey and page want to sound good. the 'no spoilers' thing is also so cool. can't wait to listen! "...was it for this my life I sought?"

it's missing a few songs he played live. Sea Change is one. I forget the other. thrasherswheat had a link to some sound samples. the link is gone now. i did hear the samples though. atrocious. i think i'm done with neil for a while. magnolia electric seem to be doing neil a lot better for me!

i agree also. life is life. we fucks stuff up, so be it. time to stop worrying.

this looks completely AMAZING!!! this franchise is something i find totally compelling. now, i just wish star wars was like this. i hope i'm alive when some young punk reimagines star wars and makes it the most dark scifi ever seen. c

myspace tunes sound pretty good. love the guitar lead.

I love Neil Young

thanks. while i'm at it, i don't like his beard either.

my wife and the sound man no more neil avatar cortez?

he moves around to much on stage. i wish he was more brooding.

they have a woman playing minimal percussion.

Madman is sooooooooo awesome. i just love that shit! 3 part harmony with just a guitar and minimal production. wish there was more music out there like that! the other thing about RDM is that he production is so warm. love the way Johns makes the bass sound so 60s.

yeah, tim's voice and gary's voices work well together. there is a continuity with that on rainy day music. RDM is about 4 songs too long though....like most records these days.

i recently got into panda bear. love the brian wilsonish stuff on there. is animal collective like this? it's funny, brian wilson is an artist whom i like the folks influenced by him more than his output

good to hear there isn't a full time keys player. that does not work for son volt in my opinion.

does anyone have a version of The Picture without horns that was on the Best Buy bonus disc? i can't seem to find it anywhere on the internets. sendspace?

is son volt touring with a keyboard player?

okay, this post got me a bit more psyched about jay. standing up for jeff is badass in my book! i'm going to listen to trace right now!

i can't see the band even wanting to run through shit like reba and YEM. it's just a different time for them. they'll probably pick up where they left off, but having more fun. i'm not expecting anything great from these new shows. you're gonna get textbook setlists and lots of groove jamming. not my cup of tea, but will probably be pretty good for the folks that go. and it will be more than pissing in hears. here's to the band and phans having fun...that's it.

classic VC bullshit!
