  1. Nice! Love those cars. I had an '86 Quattro. LOVED it. They go forever ... mine had well over 400,000K. This little electronic shit started to go on me. Solid cars and they don't rust out like the NA crap from that era.
  2. LOL ... i didn't even notice. D'oh! You can never have too much Jerry Smile Smile Smile
  3. MMmMMM. This is gonna be good. Thanks for posting this. I've been lucky to see him a few times. Sends shivers up my spine listening to him in a live setting. His tour with Emmylou Harris was magical. I loved the intimacy of that tiny theatre in Hamilton where he played earlier in the year and had his brother come up and play.
  4. (Los Angeles, July 2007) - After nearly forty years, Led Zeppelin continues to inspire generations with their groundbreaking blues-infused, guitar-driven rock 'n' roll. Arguably the biggest rock band in the world throughout their 12-year reign, they remain one of the most influential and innovative groups in music history. With over 200 million albums sold worldwide, their catalog is one of the most enduring bodies of musical composition to come out of the 20th century. Available November 13, Atlantic Records/Rhino Entertainment will honor the Rock & Rock Hall of Famers with the release of Mothership, a 24-track, two-CD comprehensive collection that spans their illustrious career. All eight of the band's classic studio albums are represented here, with the tracks being personally selected by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones. Mothership includes landmark songs such as "Whole Lotta Love," "Immigrant Song," "Kashmir," "Rock And Roll," "Dazed And Confused," and "Stairway To Heaven." The set will also include new liner notes by famed rock writer David Fricke. Available at all physical retail outlets and www.ledzeppelin.com, Mothership collectible packages will be available in multiple configurations: • Standard Package - 2-CD set • Deluxe Edition - 2-CD/ 1-DVD featuring the premiere-version (90 minutes) of live performance footage culled from the Led Zeppelin DVD • Collector's Edition - 2-CD/1-DVD ultra-deluxe, collectible limited edition • Vinyl Edition - 4 LPs, high-end, audiophile quality vinyl with collectible memorabilia. Originally released in 1976, The Song Remains The Same soundtrack album of the concert film features songs from the band's three-night stint at Madison Square Garden in July 1973. On November 20, The Song Remains The Same soundtrack gets the deluxe reissue treatment, with the band members overseeing the remixing and remastering of the original release. The new version of the soundtrack includes six songs that were not on the original release -"Black Dog," "Over The Hills And Far Away," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Since I've Been Loving You," "The Ocean," and "Heartbreaker," plus new liner notes by Academy AwardÒ-winning director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous). Slated for a simultaneous release, Warner Home Video debuts brand-new DVD editions of The Song Remains The Same, now for the first time with all 14 songs from the original concert. The DVD features newly remixed and remastered sound, 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, and boasts more than 40 minutes of added bonus material*, including never-before-released performance footage of "Over The Hills And Far Away" and "Celebration Day"; plus performances of "Misty Mountain Hop" and "The Ocean"; a rare 1976 BBC interview with Robert Plant and Peter Grant; vintage TV footage from the Drake Hotel robbery during the New York concert stand; and a Cameron Crowe radio show. The discs will be available as follows: • Deluxe Edition DVD - • Deluxe Edition HD DVD and Blu-ray - • Limited Collector's Edition - 2-disc set includes collectible vintage T-shirt with original album artwork design, soundtrack CD, lobby cards, reproductions of original premiere invites, tour schedule, and more "We have revisited The Song Remains The Same," says Jimmy Page, "and can now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square Garden. This differs substantially from the original soundtrack released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of Kevin Shirley, who worked with us on How The West Was Won. When it comes to The Song Remains The Same, the expansion of the DVD and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the Led Zeppelin wish list."
  5. Cool ... just signed up at Fallsview: https://www.fallsviewcasinoresort.com/Default.aspx?Tools+-+PAC+Login Rama membership: https://secure.casinorama.com/oec/oecMemberApp.aspx Comp me baby
  6. Actually, he's quite well read. I saw a really good interview with him a couple of years ago where he discussed, at length, his library and literary favourites. You just have to get by his slurry speech and realize that he is articulate and somewhat intelligent. I think that his musings would translate well to the page so that you can understand him
  7. Do you think they'll bring out an audio version of the book with Keith reading?
  8. http://ghostsofwaynefontes.blogspot.com/2007/08/letter-to-jerry-garcia-happy-birthday.html Letter to Jerry Garcia: Happy Birthday from Bill Walton (Note: A special guest/feature to the Ghosts from Bill Walton. Well, not really). Hello down there, it’s Bill Walton ready to usher in this day of utmost importance. And you may be wondering where I am when I reference you as being “down there.†Well, today I am simply floating on air to the hymns of the Grateful Dead. And the special day of which I speak is none other than the “would be†birthday of the great Jerome John Garcia. I petitioned for my counterparts at ESPN, ESPN.com and even ESPN Classic to allow me to devote a Special segment or program to my good friend Jerry on this of all days. However, the good working suits at ESPN/Walt Disney didn’t see the logic behind my concept, fools. To my utter dismay, not even Sirius Satellite Radio would grant me the access to do such a simulcast. They informed me, I am allotted only “x†amount of time per week and the program would not air until Saturday. So, I turned to the only folks I knew that would accept my bid to pay a tribute and that was my good friends over at the Ghosts. Allow me to do thee honor and thanks. It’s a gorgeous day in Del Mar and the summer breeze about the air serves as a reminder that the fair winds will blow me safely home. If will, please take a long strange trip with me and listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock your soul. I’m gathering a handful of the old Maxell XL-II’s from the vault and spinning out some of the fondest memories ever captured on analog. Ah, the splendor and joy of celebrating the one and only, Jerry Garcia. In basketball, as in the meandering melodies of the music, players change their ways, move to new cities, and things turn over and start a new. Just like the “Franklin’s Tower†from the Winterland on March 19, 1977, the Celtics too are starting a new. You sang, "It can rain turn night to day, rain like fire if you lose your way." Well, this beloved and storied franchise we know as the Celtics had lost their way. However, the Celtics are no longer confused, as they did "just listen to the music play." And with the help from a special little instrument of change named Kevin Garnett. I hope Garnett brings a little of the magic back that you once brought to Boston, Jerry. I recall a special memory we shared on your birthday in 1994, Jerry. You and the other cats played the Palace and fans throughout the room lit candles to celebrate your birthday and we all sang you a special happy birthday serenade. I even signed the giant card that went around for you. Unfortunately, that was the last birthday we would share together as you passed away just a year and change later. Nevertheless, this was a great memory. I sure felt free when you and the boys belted out "Liberty" for a stellar encore. Sadly, that was not the only dynasty that was ending in Detroit. The Pistons were in the midst of a colossal decline. After the reign of the Bad Boys in the late eighties and early nineties, Detroit Pistons saw their heart and soul disappear much like when you passed into the next life. The Worm, Dennis Rodman, made his long strange trip off to another team and another state of reality. All the broken dreams and vanished years left Detroit Fans feeling Stella Blue. Stella Blue. Oh, how bittersweet it is to here a soothing “Brokedown Palace.†Much like the rendition from New Years Eve 1986; that one just rocks my soul. And the irony of such a sad, but emotional song is what David Stern is dealing with around the NBA these days. This is a song about passing to a better place and let’s hope with this atrocious referee scandal in the rearview, the NBA can leave this state of flux it’s in right now, this “Brokedown Palace.†Fare you well, my good friend. Yes, for Jerry I must devote an epic “Chinacat>Rider†from Alpine Valley in 1989. And who could forget a classic rendition of “Bertha†from the Capitol Theater in ’71? How could I possibly leave out the “Uncle John’s Band†from 12/26/79? Oh, the treats and a treasure filled landscape much like the NBA’s Western Conference. So many GREAT, very GREAT teams and only one can be the Champion. Good lord, look at the time…where is it going? “All I know is something like a bird within you sang…all I know you sang a little while and then flew on.†And so, my good friend I am signing off…Happy Birthday Jerry! And thank you to The Ghosts for having me...I hope you all wake up tomorrow to find that YOU are the EYES of the WORLD.

    yayyyyyy God

    Scary ... i really wonder about humans sometimes
  15. The missing ('t) or (not) ... sounds like he can't/can not make it and that's worthy of a "don't fucking enter if you can't go" post, IMHO. This is the same reason as to why my buddy showed up with 3 pairs of FREEBIES for Zappa Plays Zappa last night (contest winners never picked them up).
  16. Come on People!!! Doesn't anyone live near/in Montreal around here?? If I could go I would in a heartbeak ... fucking job gets in the way sometimes
  17. The show last night was AMAZING! Top notch from start to finish. The talent on stage was overflowing and everyone seemed to be in top form. Still blown away by dummer extraordinnaire Joe Travers! This guy is the shit. He is in that upper eschelon of players IMHO. Big treat hearing Ray White on vocals (and guitar). Ray toured with Frank in the mid-late 70s and has an incredible voice. He is the same Ray White who was the "W" in KVHW in 98/99 (and later kicked out of that band ) Different setlist from last year's performance. If this is the beginning of an onrunnuing establishment of touring Frank, I'm a happy man. Got to hear (in no particular order) Black Napkins right off the start, Illinois Enema Bandit, Joe's Garage, Muffin Man, Pygmy Twilight, City Of Tiny Lights, My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama, Dirty Love, Carolina Hard-Core Ecstasy, Dumb All Over, What's New in Baltimore?, Dupree's Paradise, Uncle Remus, Willie the Pimp, San Ber'dino, and more. Too bad I couldn't post here in time, but at 630pm my buddy let me know he had 3 pairs of FREE TIX for the show. I was able to get one pair to a friend and leave 'em at the box office. Don't know what he was able to do with the others ... prob just comped in a few people for fun Don't miss this show ... i mean it! For anyone else who was there last night ..... BOK CHOI
  18. Hey TreeTroll ... how did you like that MUFFIN MAN ENCORE !!!! And with the Zappa guitar solo from the video posted above ^^^^^^^^ Glad you got your wishes BOK CHOI!
