  1. >also, went to the Catskills back in May. awesome way to begin the Summer Where in the Catskills? We're planning a trip up there in October. We've been to Woodstock and Rhinebeck a few times.
  2. The only reason to watch the Jovi Unplugged is that Richie Sambora was so drunk that he kept flubbing his parts and the band had to keep repeating songs. He checked into rehab the next day. It's also comical they way Bon Jovi "reworks" songs. He takes all of his cues from Springsteen, but while Bruce will do an acoustic version of "Born in the USA," Jovi does a comically slowed-down version of "Living on a Prayer."
  3. >What a night, what a show, what a band! I think I kind of took it for granted that we are all able to be a part of the Wilco journey. I mean: I'm 23, I wasn't around for The Band or The Who or Neil Young. To be able to witness the greatest rock band of this era, in such an intimate setting, for only $40, is just a great thing. I absolutley agree. We are witnessing the most important band in the world at its creative peak. Nels adds a sonic texture that elevated the music to another level, and the band has now fully harnessed its sound and power. Great songwriting, master instrumentali
  4. I'm in. Second row center loge.
  5. Who are the band members on this tour?
  6. LC deserves more attention than he receives, which is just about none. He does and has accomplished as much musically in relative anonimity than anyone I can think of. His years with Charlie Sexton backing Dylan were Dylan's best on stage in last fifteen years. (I was going to say twenty years, but TP and the Heartbreakers were a pretty decent backing band.) >Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, Larry Campbell, George Recile, Tony Garnier and Dr John are the musicians, with the The Dixie Hummingbirds providing the vocals I didn't know that. That's sounds incredible.

  8. >The important question is: do you wear the tshirt of the band you are going to see or not? Absolutely not. Even worse is wearing the shirt you bought at that show. Invariably there are long sleeves sticking out beneath it. It's all bad news.
  9. I'm surprised at the number of responses in favor of listening to the band's music before a show. It's been a long-standing "rule" among my group of friends that we don't listen to the band's music before the show - either pregaming at home or tailgating. It's overkill and there is so much other great music to hear beside the music your about to hear for the next two hours. An exception is when it's impossible to avoid because the other fans around you will be blasting it, like at a Springsteen or Dead show. >The consensus in the car that day was that the people who sat out in the
  10. Upper Balconies are still available.
  11. >I was thinking more along the lines of If YHF = Highway 61 Revisited And AGIB = Blonde On Blonde Then SBS = John Wesley Harding Interesting premise. And, yes, I hear a Beatles' sound and vibe on SBS.
  12. She was both unlistenable and unwatchable at the RnR Hall of Fame ceremony last night. Why play two cover songs at your own induction (even if Because the Night is one of her hits)?
  13. How do those sites compare to Pando.com?
  14. Dan Zanes' albums are both kid and adult friendly. Kids and parents are up dancing at his shows.

By Mark Jordan Special to The Commercial Appeal January 18, 2007 Fresh off a Mexican vacation with his family, Jeff Tweedy was in a chatty mood Tuesday, the opening night of his 2007 solo tour before a sold-out audience of 824 at the Germantown Performing Arts Centre. "My wife always tells me I don't talk enough," the Wilco frontman explained before being drawn into one of the protracted exchanges with audience mem

  19. >i don't agree about the venue or the crowd. it was great to see them play in a smaller place again. i have seen them everywhere over the last couple of years from msg to radio city to jazzfest to several outdoor pavillions. i thought this was really a great spot as it was a very bar like atmosphere and the crowd was really into it. Agreed. I cannot believe that 90% of the posts about the show are negative and almost all about only the venue. Yes, the place was oversold, but Starland has great sightlines from any vantage point and the sound system is tremendously clear. Anyone who att
