The tents are already up though...

Caught JRAD at Cleveland's Masonic Temple this past weekend.  Lucky enough to be second from the rail and right in their glorious pocket.  Russo just blows my mind every time and it was such a pleasure to watch him do his other-worldly thing from up close.  An incredible setlist and an interesting venue.  Couldn't help but wonder what kind of shit went down there in the past. Many launch-pad moments into the ether.  These guys don't let up.  Can't wait to see them again this summer at Peach!

The Faces - Maybe I'm Amazed - 1972
 

This is Doug (from The John Henry's) and his psychedelic rock project that he has been rehearsing for literally years, and their first gig will be at Ottawa's awesomest bar, Irene's on Saturday, March 30th.   Tix are available online.
This has a high likelihood of being amazing, but no guarantees.  You've been warned, both ways.  Seriously though, 85% chance of it being amazing.

Lineup is out.  I'm excited to see Chicago.  Other than that I might be spending most of the festival drinking beers in my backyard for the first time...ever?

Sad news to wake up to

i have a few video clips taken clandestinely from my hip as well.  i need to smash them together and will share.

Right?

Yes, tonight (Saturday), at House of Targ.  $10.

I watched the netflix documentary called "Fyre" on this whole debacle. Just mind-blowing...and a sad window into our world of "influencers" and the industry feeding insatiable longing for  exclusivity.  Apparently there are actually two documentaries on this shitshow:

While they give some passing nods to the Bahamian workers who slaved for months and went unpaid, I don't think they begin to do justice to the social and ecological exploitation and implications of this entire mess, or that likely would have gone entirely ignored if this had even remotely panned out as planned for those who were in attendance.  While I've thought about it many times before, it really made me think again about  my own festival-going patterns of consumption...so much to be grateful for, and also so much more that we need to do better on in terms of raising levels of consciousness about the footprint of our mystical musical ventures.

I've been hunting my house looking for my old Slip cds and the search was fruitless. Then as fate would have it, Cleantone recently upped a Dropbox filled to the brim with old, and newer, and older Slip recordings:

Great stuff. I know I had this as filler on a different Dylan show on VHS in the early/mid nineties and I've only saw the DVD circulating once, years ago - titled "Silver Wilburys" I believe, not sure why that name was used. It got taken down from a semi-private Dylan tracker (now long gone). IIRC, they removed it due to the poor quality of the DVD authoring.  The video isn't great, but considering its sourced from VHS, and an on the fly recording for an unannounced Dylan/Harrison/Forgerty performance in 1987? Still pretty cool.
This was first time Forgerty had played any CCR songs in 20+ years, at Dylan's request.

1987 - George harrison with Dylan Jon Fogerthy, Jesse Ed Davis and Taj Mahal.   Rough capture but very cool to explore.
 
 

I've since been to Ottawa and enjoyed House of Targ. The only issue I had is that many of the machines were in need of fixes. I know how tough it is to keep mine maintained and I'm not putting 1000's of plays on each week so I sympathize but I'm turning into a jaded vet on the scene.
 
And my dream is slowly coming true, I'm up to 7 machines now!

THC and your brain... cool little interactive thingy

It was very dark in the accessible porta-potty.  So I'm not sure that it counts.
