Interesting montage of 2D pics altered to appear 3D.

Do you really think that Colorado's jersey's are worse than Vancouver's??? I think they look fine. As for the Leafs, they're pretty good too. But, it looks like they're missing a stripe or two around the bottom. The plainness of them reminds me of a practice jersey. How fucking tall is Blake??? He looks like a midget.

I agree. JPJ is wayyyy underrated and too often forgotten about when people discuss LZ. He wasn't flashy, or a big stage presence (like the other 3) but he was the glue that held almost all Zep tunes together. You see him these days and he can play with anyone ... from Gov't Mule to pickin' some bluegrass on his mando. The guy doesn't look like he aged much either (compared to Plant and Page). I kick myself for not going to see JPJ when he was around these parts years ago.

well, if anyone wants to get an idea of what this tour sounds like, here is one of the official sbd releases from the Euro leg (as a 320K MP3). If you listen to this, be warned, you might have a hard time holding on to your last meal if you listen to Hold On My Heart!!! Otherwise, this is a really good tour and well played. Too bad you don't get all the crazy visuals that the live stage provides: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Watch: http://www.crooksandliars.com/Media/Download/21272/1/countdown_091107.wmv http://www.crooksandliars.com/Media/Download/21272/2/countdown_091107.mov Read: To this day, millions of Americans believe we invaded Iraq because of 9/11. 33 percent still believe there was some interconnection between Saddam Hussein and the nightmares here and in Washington and in Pennsylvania. Iraq, of course, had nothing to do with 9/11. Then. Six years later, that has changed. Iraq has distracted us from punishing those responsible for 9/11. If another 9/11 comes, our focus on Iraq will surely have been central to that nightmare. How did we get here? What consequences have been paid by those who brought us here? In our number one story tonight, no one person is to blame. And only some of those who are, recognize it. As we reported yesterday, former Secretary of State Colin Powell tells G-Q magazine he is “sorry†he gave the world wrong information when he told the U-N of the threat Iraq supposedly posed. He was not fired for doing so. He paid no price we know of, other than the admitted “blot†on his record, and whatever toll his conscience exacted. Unrepetant, however, is former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, also talking to G-Q; Saying he does not lose sleep over the war… declining to apologize for it… despite pushing for it… despite using 9/11–the day after 9/11–for his own benefit, to pursue his goal of bombing Iraq. Rumsfeld, not fired for his performance, but for politics… now in private life… reportedly trying to see how much he must tell, to make for a profitable tell-all. Rumsfeld was served, and the nation ill-served, by a flock of Pentagon hawks, bent on war, seeing 9/11 not as an obligation to answer,. but an opportunity to exploit. Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz who also tied Iraq to 9/11, who ridiculed warnings we needed more troops to invade Iraq–not fired– named head of the World Bank, until resigning in disgrace. Defense Policy Board Chairman Richard Perle– not fired– forced to retire not for pushing the war, but for allegedly profiting off it. Undersecretary Doug Feith, who cherry-picked anti-Iraq intel– not fired– despite a Pentagon report later refuting Feith’s claim that Iraq and al Qaeda were in league. And as you go higher in the administration, your reward for being wrong on the war grows proportionately. Deputy National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley– responsible for the 16-word lie about Iraqi pursuit of yellowcake from Niger– not fired– promoted to National Security Advisor. His boss, Condoleezza Rice, who threatened us with mushroom clouds– not fired– promoted to America’s chief diplomat: Secretary of State. CIA Director George Tenet, who called the case for war a “slam dunkâ€â€“ not fired– given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And within the president’s circle of advisors, marketing the war: Andy Card and Dan Bartlett– neither fired. Card retired, Bartlett promoted, then retired. Karen Hughes– not fired– promoted, stunningly, to the task of winning hearts and minds in the Muslim world. But let us go higher still. Vice President Dick Cheney, creator of his cherry-picking intel apparatus, gave its poisoned fruit to the media and then fed the lie to us on national television — even after truth, and shame, rendered its mendaciousness, manifest. He continues to do so to this day. Not fired. Cheney’s aide, Lewis Libby, came closest of all to suffering genuine consequences. Convicted of covering up Mr. Cheney’s role in sliming critics of the war, his consequences nullified at the last minute. When the president commuted his prison sentence–ensuring that no one in his circle, least of all him– paid any price for selling us the lie of Iraq; for failing to punish the bombing of the U-S-S Cole; for neglecting the warnings pre-9/11;. for turning back at Tora Bora; for ultimately ensuring that while the rest of the world suffers painful, deadly consequences for his actions, only he does not. Only he and one other. Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of 9/11, his reach, and recruiting, all benefiting from Mr. Bush’s war, his group’s strength today at a six-year high. His Afghan allies, the Taliban, as NBC reported tonight, also resurgent, planning the death of Americans, just 25 miles from Kabul. All while bin Laden himself operates freely, unmolested, with his own media operation, thanks to a regional Pakistani truce endorsed by Mr. Bush in a region where Mr. Bush will not go– cannot go even if he chose to. Because he has spent so much American blood and treasure, in the desert of a nation that had neither means nor motive to threaten us, but that tempted Mr. Bush and those around him who wished to transform the Middle East, so much so that he forswore the vow he made, standing here, literally atop New York’s dead… that their killers would hear us soon. Six years later, we still hear them, because now, finally, Iraq and 9/11 really are connected–by him. And we suffer the consequences.

I wasn't there the first night, but I was surprised that he wasn't on it for as much as I thought he'd be. Maybe he had had too much fun with the guitar the first night Lanois is a wild guitar player too. He really gets that thing to come to life and generate such emotion.

lucky bastard! That's awesome.

I thought I heard it was for charity (Ahmet Ertegun's)?

22,000 seat arena. All tix being done by "lottery" too ($300CAN a piece). The Who's Pete Townshend, and Rolling Stone Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings and others will also play on the night.

it's a 192K MP3 transcode. It'll do until the album comes out One listen so far ... i enjoyed it ... gonna listen to it again now BRUUUUUUCE

He eats kittens, doesn't he???

You're very very welcome

Thanks for posting that Al! I'm stoked to see this lineup. After hearing the Sweetwater show they did in July i've been waiting for that Shea's date to arrive (on my bday ).

Just thought that you might like to hear the new Springsteen & E Street band album before it hits the stores in a couple of weeks ;-) I have uploaded it to the following link. Download it there and then unzip and enjoy. http://download.yousendit.com/AEF97054760C1F40

Enjoy the show Phorbsie. It's an amazing event. Watch Chester Thompson and Phil Collins kickass on their kits. Amazing drummers. The first 3 discs in that collection are full of top-notch stuff. If you like that, try the full albums. I can help you out if you want ... or provide some killer live shows. We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. A flower?

As much as I am displeased with McGuinty, there's no way i'd toss my vote to Tory. His policies on the public education system, and what he wants to do to it, infuriate me. He had his hand in the events that began the downturn of the public school system back in the last days of the Bill Davis gov't. It was then screwed over yet again by the Harris gov't along with Eaves. A "dumpy" vote may be in my plans now too ... or at least one that will attempt to keep a local MP out of office. Does anybody trust, or have faith, in any level of our gov't anymore? I know that i'm a skeptic and go by the policy of "i'll believe it when i see it" with all their shallow promises.

Yup ... nutjob! Saw a couple of 'his' videos yesterday. http://jambands.ca/sanctuary/showpost.php?post/470694/

You nailed it fluffhead. THat show last night was one for the ages. Still sends chills up my spine thinking of it. To be standing 10ft away from Garth Hudson as he plays a piano like he's a wizard, to seeing Daniel Lanois urging Brian Blade to keep a jam going was a treat. They were so into their performance and seemed to be enjoying it just as much as the very attentive crowd. There were a few moments of pure IT. Brian Blade is seriously a PHENOMENAL talent. My buddy who came with me is a drummer and he was shitting his pants watching blade work that Gretsch kit like it was a painter's canvas. It's gonna be a while before a show can top this one in my books. Amazing venue too. I can imagine seeing many more concerts in there. Here's what the reviewer from the Globe and Mail had on the show last night:
