^^^^^ NICE! I wish I was at home so that I could receive my "communion"

After seeing this mentioned as a Halloween rumour it reminded me that it's been a few months since i've listened to this from start to finish. Perfect time to do so now and get through this Friday afternoon at work http://bit.ly/cEl1Vj Little Feat – Waiting For Columbus (Deluxe Edition) What constitutes a great live album? It’s clearly not the mere application of a band’s studio performances. That approach may satisfy the attending audience, but what’s the point of making a record that sounds just like the one that already exists? It’s far more rewarding to experience a live album on which a band turbocharges its studio sound (as The Who did on the scorching 1970 document Live At Leeds); or expands the material through improvisation (The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East from 71 classic example); or enlarges the aural palate to open up a body of work (like The Band’s 1972 beauty Rock Of All Ages, its Allen Toussaint horn arrangements). What makes Little Feat’s Waiting For Columbus memorable is that it seamlessly and quite naturally encompasses all these approaches. Waiting For Columbus (Deluxe Edition) contains the original Waiting For Columbus as well as ten tracks recorded during the same tour that were not included in the original album. It also contains previously unreleased outtakes. Little Feat’s lone official live album was chopped up for its initial CD release, with two tracks lopped off so it could fit on a single disc (they showed up, inexplicably, as bonus tracks on the CD issue of The Last Record Album). After years of neglect, the album was finally restored in 2002, except “restored†might not be the right word for it. It was re-thought and expanded, with the original album now spilling over onto a second disc (which is where the encore is), which is fleshed out with seven previously unissued outtakes, plus three songs initially released on Hoy-Hoy. It’s a lovely package, with copious notes from Bud Scoppa and lots of photos, great remastered sound, and generous bonus tracks. It’s as well done as could be expected, but be forewarned — none of the unreleased material is as good as what made the record, tending to be a little slack and emphasizing their encroaching fascination with fusion. That’s really not that big of a deal, of course, since collectors will buy this no matter what, and they’ll be happy with this lavish, loving package. Little Feat: Lowell George (vocals, guitar, maracas, cowbell) Paul Barrere (vocals, guitar) Bill Payne (vocals, piano, electric piano, organ, synthesizer) Kenny Gradney (bass) Richie Hayward (drums, percussion, background vocals) Sam Clayton (congas, percussion, background vocals) With: Mick Taylor (guitar); Tower Of Power (horns); Michael McDonald, Patrick Simmons (background vocals). Recorded live at the Rainbow Theatre, London, England; The Lisner Auditorium, Washington, D.C. in August 1977. Includes liner notes by Bud Scoppa.

sorry

Wow ... wasn't expecting all that from the 4th line in the first period. Loved the effort they were putting in, especially Mike Brown (best moustache on the team ) As for the 2 Pens goals? Well, thanks Phaneuf

The Massey Hall show is a long way away too Plenty of recovery time for Bruce. Get well man! Haven't heard much Bruce lately. Think that will be part of my soundtrack at work tomorrow

http://bit.ly/cDoOUv moe. – meat. (CD single) September 6, 1996: meat. (550 Music) is released. OUT OF PRINT. A 45:09 single. 10,000 copies were released. For Moe’s first single on Sony/550, they decided to release a 45-minute long version of their live staple, “Meat.†Recorded in one take on July 25, 1996, the band charged their way through one of their quintessential live tunes. One may use the three officially released recordings of the song — on Loaf (1996), Meat (1996), and L (2000) — to gauge the artistic state of the band. Each featured a different drummer (Mike Strazza, Chris Mazur, and Vinnie Amico, respectively) who drove the tune in different ways. On the single version, Mazur pushes the band through a multi-sectioned improvisation that touches on ska, psychedelia, surf rock, blues, and other popular genres. This is perhaps the most expansive improvisation Moe has ever performed, live or in the studio. The mix is crystal clear, with guitarist Al Schnier panned all the way to the left, guitarist Chuck Garvey panned all the way to the right, and the rhythm section of Mazur and bassist Rob Derhak down the middle. ~ Jesse Jarnow, All Music Guide mp3@V0 Track List 1. meat. 45:09 http://bit.ly/cDoOUv

Really? I loved their album covers. They always stood out in my Mom's collection when I was a kid and got played a lot (esp Waiting for Columbus, Dixie Chicken, Time Loves a Hero and Feats Don't Fail Me Now) http://bit.ly/9AMxFo Warren Zevon – Excitable Boy (Remaster 2007) “Enjoy every sandwich†– WZ Despite his many affiliations within Los Angeles’ session scene, Warren Zevon was a struggling songwriter who was going nowhere in a hurry when his pal Jackson Browne convinced Asylum Records to take a chance on signing him. Fortunately, by that point, Wanted Dead or Alive, Zevon’s forgettable flop of a debut from 1969, had become a distant memory, and sitting at his disposal was a batch of considerably superior material. With Browne at the helm, Zevon gave birth to a pair of albums — his self-titled endeavor and its follow-up Excitable Boy. Taken together, they gave him the means, for better or for worse, to live a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, at least temporarily. Admittedly, 30 years after the fact, both collections sound a tad dated, forever tethered to the ’70s by the sort of glossy sheen that typically was affixed to singer/songwriter efforts from the era. Still, there’s no denying the potency of Zevon’s formula, which refreshingly injected a twist of biting satire into the more romantic inclinations of his peers. Although it was, in actuality, Zevon’s third endeavor, Excitable Boy had the look and the feel of a sophomore effort. By Browne’s own admission, the collection was constructed from its predecessor’s spare parts, and although they were exquisite specimens — both Werewolves of London and the title track had been set aside and saved — the fact remains that there was less unity amongst the set’s contents. Nevertheless, it’s hard to quibble with the songs themselves. Here’s an indication of Excitable Boy’s strength: Six of its nine tracks were redeployed to form the basis of Zevon’s greatest hits retrospective A Quiet Normal Life. Of the remaining cuts, only the deliciously funky, but ultimately lightweight Nighttime in the Switching Yard could be considered filler. The other two selections — Tenderness on the Block’s gently optimistic message from a father to his daughter and Veracruz’s mournful depiction of the casualties of American imperialism — are equally worthy contenders. That’s quite a testament to Zevon’s capabilities, especially considering that the rest of Excitable Boy was filled with his widely recognized tales of a predatory ladies’ man (Werewolves of London), a vengeance-seeking vigilante (Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner), a self-destructive antihero (Lawyers, Guns and Money), and a battered, bruised, and ultimately doomed relationship (Accidentally Like a Martyr). Although his later efforts undeniably contained a more cohesive narrative — a product of the maturity that middle age brings as well as the focus that arrived once he overcame his dependence upon alcohol — it arguably is difficult to find a more iconic collection of songs within his canon. Recently reissued with a quartet of bonus tracks — including a haunting rendition of Tule’s Blues (a personal account of the dissolution of his marriage) and the string-draped Frozen Notes (an equally sad reflection upon lost love and loneliness) — Excitable Boy still stands, in spite of its flaws, as strongly, proudly, and defiantly as it ever has – John Metzger, The Music Box Read more: http://www.musicbox-online.com/reviews-2007/warrenzevon-excitableboy.html#ixzz12FUQxfix mp3@320CBR Track List 1.

I'm in a Zevon kinda mood today. Love this song: He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline He started playing hockey by the time he was nine His dad took the hose and froze the back yard And Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard He grew up big and he grew up tough He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks But he wasn't that good with a puck Buddy's real talent was beating people up His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites He must have racked up more than three hundred fights A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon Son, we've always got room for a goon" There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Brains over brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared When Buddy the goon came over the boards "Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals" The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role, The fast guys get paid, they shoot, and they score Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for Protection is what you're here for Protection--it's the stars who score Protection--go and kick somebody's ass Protection--don't put the biscuit in the basket just Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears Blood on the ice ran down through the years The king of the goons with a box for a throne A thousand stitches and broken bones He never lost a fight on his icy patrol But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal He just wanted one damn goal There were Swedes at the blue line Finns at the red A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head Brains over Brawn--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? In his final season, on his final night Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot Twenty years of waiting went into that shot The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too And cold-cocked Buddy on his followthrough The big man crumbled but he felt all right 'Cause the last thing he saw was the flashing red light He saw that heavenly light There were Swedes to the left of him Russians to the right A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight Take care of your teeth--that might work for you But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do? But what's a Canadian farm boy to do? What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

d'oh! f'd it up on a song i've heard a thousand times. At least he got outta AZ and got to CALI for some grass

JoJo was a man who thought he was a woman

That sucks. Don't back down. Tell them you booked non-refundable flights after receiving your CONFIRMATION from them when you bought the tix. Rail them on why they didn't contact you prior to cancelling the order. How are they to know that you aren't in need of those seats? Maybe you had leg surgery scheduled for mid-December Good luck.

AWESOME! Well played.

That Genesis poster has no real presence in the Genesis artwork/imagery. There are so many other pictures and images associated with Genesis and that just isn't one of them (other than it being on one poster for one venue). I have been wishing that Phish would cover Genesis forever. The Lamb doesn't have to be the only possibility for them to use as a costume either. Really, The Phish could possibly be wearing any of these Genesis albums as a costume and it would be crazy good. If you're interested in hearing what "classic era" Genesis is all about (Gabriel, Collins, Banks, Rutherford, Hackett), I highly suggest these albums to dig your teeth into. The Lamb is not one of the most accessible and takes some time to "get" To each their own however. I've been listening to these albums for almost 25 years and I still find new and amazing things in them.

http://bit.ly/cXknnj Easy Star All-Stars – Dubber Side Of The Moon Following another celebrated run of global touring, the Easy Star All-Stars are geared up to release Dubber Side of the Moon on October 26. Inspired by the burgeoning dub step scene and dub visionaries such as On-U Sound’s Adrian Sherwood and Mad Professor, the Easy Star All-Stars have compiled the ultimate remix collection of their much lauded reggae smash Dub Side of The Moon. Each track features a unique dub producer exploring spaced-out reggae and bass-heavy remixes of the original Dub Side of the Moon – a reggae tribute to Pink Floyd’s iconic Dark Side of the Moon. Dubber Side also includes 4 bonus remixes (as well as 2 additional bonus tracks exclusive to the iTunes release). Originally released in 2003, Dub Side of the Moon was followed by Radiodread (2006) and Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009), establishing Easy Star All-Stars as one of the top international reggae acts of the last decade. The band has amassed over 300,000 album sales and is equally successful in live appearances, playing over 125 shows in 25 countries on 6 different continents in 2009 alone. In fact, the idea of reinterpreting Dub Side spawned from the band’s intense touring schedule. They were continually being exposed to new dub and reggae offshoots around the world. “We really wanted to evolve these songs and put them in the hands of producers who might take it in new directions,†explains Easy Star Records’ Lem Oppenheimer. “It seemed like a good way to bring some of this newly developing futurist reggae right into our own music.†It was essential to find a balance between the classic dub masters and the new generation of bass-line enthusiasts, while also managing to express the band’s musical outlook and development. Mad Professor had previously worked on the Radiodread album and was an obvious choice, as were John Peel favorites Dreadzone and Adrian Sherwood, both of whom fit into what Easy Star Records likes to call the ‘dub master vibe.’ Mad Professor’s mix is typically off the wall, whilst Adrian Sherwood manages to create a wall of sound through his adventures in space echo. The All-Stars’ resident soundman The Alchemist’s interpretation of ‘Money’ is a bass bleeder from the start and is probably the track that fits easiest into the dub step category, but Kalbata’s might be the most innovative mix on the album. Israeli born and signed to Soul Jazz Records, his mix merges the tech sound into dub-step. Boston’s mysterious 10 Ft Ganja Plant and Canada’s Juno-Award Winning Dubmatix both provide roots heavy remixes to the album. mp3@VBR Track List 01.
