Neil will be the guest tonight on the Daily Show (11/28/12) Should be good.

Another nice little "Stayin Alive" jam shows up at the Rupp Arena show 4/21/78. I believe they strut through it from Space -> Stella. I believe David Gans said that the XM GD channnel will be playing UCLA 12/30/78 on 11/26/12 at noon. That show is a great warm up to the New Years show the next night.

Thank you for pointing that out. Thank you Rhino. Sometimes I fall out of the loop. I have always enjoyed this show. Some of the songs tend to have an extra edge and the jams take you into the realm of '77. A view of things to come.

If you guys could pick the next 5 (D's) Picks what would they be? Favorite shows are very subjective. I might lean more toward event shows or shows with great or odd set lists. 10/16/81 Amsterdam (Bobby's B-Day) obscure set list. 12/31/76 Cow Palace 11/4/77 Colgate U. (the band billed as "the Home Coming Band) great show. 1/22/78 Eugene Oregon - for the great Close Encounters Jam. 11/14/73 San Diego - for the never ending Other One. Then of course I got to add 10/29/77 Dekalb....truly a musical event. (one of my all time favorite)

Its time for a new thread on the Dead. Anyone get the new Dave's Picks? Vol 5? How do you like the Playin > UJB > AM Dew > UJB > Playin ? Good stuff. There is a nice second set opener of Playin > UJB > AM Dew > UJB > Playin from 11/10/73 Winterland. Its worth seeking for.

This has some info where you can donate - money, food, clothes, kids stuff etc. http://communityservice.rutgers.edu/hurricane-sandy-relief-efforts/ My family and friends will be sending food, warm clothes and kids stuff to those who are in need. More donations would be great.

One of Bob's better lines. Some times it really fits.

Good JGB. I have found that 76-77 JGB has a very stoney sound. They rock but there is something odd about it. The rock as a mellow under tone (stoney). By 1978, JGB picks up a bit. 1979 Reconstruction and 1980 JGB really shakes off the stoney vibe and rocks much harder. Find a good version of After Midnight -> Eleanor Rigby -> After Midnight. Now thats some good stuff!

Sorry to hear that. Take a break.( Nothing wrong with taking a break). Listen to The Beatles. (Beatles are good) Clear your mind. Come back new. Wilco is good music. Wilco will always be good music!

Yep. I like to give Wilco a plug on that show. Gary Lambert digs Wilco.

Thanks for posting the article. I saw and heard them play it in Reno. Third song into the show. One Sunday Morning -> Poor Places -> The Art of Almost. Wilco was off and running. The band blew the doors off and lifted the roof. What intensity! The pressure kept building and building until the hard drive crashed! Favorite song that night. Looking for the recording of that show (9/23/12) ???

Leonard Cohen - Live in London Neil Dianond - Hot August Night Neil Young - Time Fades Away Old and In the Way - Old and In The Way

Fantastic! Up front and leaning on the stage with my 12 yr old son,15 yr old daughter and wife. They rocked us good. The Art of Almost blew the roof off the place! Solid show. My kids and wife loved it. Nice venue. Should've Been in Love was the sweet icing. Hoodoo Voodoo rocked! What a great birthday present!

I was at that show. (As well as the night before) Great show! Great Shakedown. I have the tapes of that show in the vault. Still in all ---favorite Shakedown has gotta be 4/6/82. Jerry and Brent duke it out note for note, Then Jerry hits the afterburners and takes off like a rocket while the rest of the band hangs on in the jet wash. There are great Shakedowns and then there is the Shakedown from 4/6/82.

Ok. Who is not going?

Got my tickets. Taking my family. Its my birthday present. (50 the following Sunday) My first Wilco show since the Berkeley Greek in 05. I'm past due. Anyone else going? I hear its a small venue. No smoking! I'm sure there is room for a couple more folks. Robert....how about you?

That ever increasing band up above just got a great song writer. Very impressive song list.

Nope that was wrong. Some dust just cleared. The first concert I went to was Rick Danko and Paul Butterfield. They played the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. My best guess would be 1978. I remember Danko was smashed. Kinda disappointing. Then came the Dead show. Sorry for the confusion.

Grateful Dead - Long Beach Sports Arena , Long Beach, CA - 12/13/80. Great show!

David Ganns and Gary Lambert talked with the new owner last Sunday on the XM GD channel (Tales From The Golden Road). Sounds fantastic to have it going again. Dylan will be the opening act. The new owner has a pretty solid business plan. Its only a matter of time for Wilco to be on stage there.

Its not like I have only heard a couple times. I use to like it when I was a kid. That was a long time ago. I don't care for it now. Its.....its... too much Paul! Too much purple dinosuer-ish...Barney like.

Good Day Sunshine The Long Windy Dopey Road When I'm 64 Obladeeoblada not all but mostly Paul songs are on my list.

It would be nice to vote for some one I believe in. Instead I just play the game of voting against the other guy. I wish Obama's 1st term was more impressive. I'll vote for him again cause I am not voting for the other guy. But what about the libertian canidate? The 3rd party needs a bigger boost.

One more thing about The Last Waltz. The show was broadcast that night in the Bay Area. The entire show does exist. Its worth tracking down. 6 hours of the raw real deal. Multiple songs from their guest and well as other Band songs that were left out of the WB release. Seek and you will find. (if you want it) Did it get an offical release? Or was that just a glorified new box release with extras?

Thanks LouieB. Not that young anymore. Its catching up with me. I knew at some point I would be watching The Last Waltz again. Soon. Yesterday, KUNR fm was planning alot of Levon and a lot of The Band. I found myself sitting in the car listening to It Makes No Difference from The Last Waltz on the car radio. I said "thats it, its time to watch The Last Waltz" So I did. I lost track of how many times I saw it in the theater when it came out in 1978. It seems like it has always just been apart of my life. The Last Waltz was (and still is) a major road map for my musical journey. That road map wo
