Sorry for your loss, dude. Four-legged friends are just as great as two-legged ones (often more!).

Always one of my faves. R.I.P.

Being named Twiddle in and of itself does not inspire confidence.

SFJazz Collective is well worth checking out. You'll have to check their web page to see who's a part of the band this year, but there are always a few big names in there.

Now being ruled a suicide.

Much like another favourite MSG show from Bob Weir’s birthday in 1989, Dark Star perfectly slammed into I Need A Miracle. Who knew? A nostalgic band is offering nostalgia from the past two years at the same venue.

How much of a wiener am I if I point out that this show was at Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey?

North American tour = 5 dates? Grrrrr....... 

This lineup was clearly made with the intention of capturing the youth market.

The 4-disc set has the same setlist, but the timings of the many songs are shorter on the 3-disc version. For example, Les Brers is 6 minutes shorter, Hideaway is 5 minutes shorter and Mountain Jam 8 minutes shorter. Many of the other songs have smaller/shorter edits.

Even better is the four-disc version, if you can find it. There are a lot of edits on this one (although it is most definitely still awesome!).

Got me my tickets. Thanks for the heads-up!

Tragic. Bowie was one of the very first concerts I ever went to (Sound + Vision Tour, 1990), and a musical hero for me. I knew he was ill, but I had no idea it was this bad. RIP to a true legend.

Happy holidays, everyone!

Oh, I have *all kinds of things* I would ask Lemieux if I ever got the chance!

 

 

I am willing to bet many Heads and Headettes in attendance really loved that first set which is primarily why I think they decided to release a show that didn’t feature any of the acoustic shows. I hope I meet David Lemieux some day because I have a real question now. Perhaps he didn’t feel any of those shows deserved to be featured here due to their quality of sound/performance, perhaps they felt it was already done on dvd, perhaps they feel they would rather release one in the future (that’s my hope and my bet) but there are no complaints with this show.

It's been a long time since I heard any of the Warfield/RCMH shows, but I know the band itself was never too happy with the performance on a lot of those shows. I think they felt that they played too 'safe' because they knew they were recording for an album, if I remember correctly.

Ditto most of what was said by Esau, especially what was said regarding FLAC, EAC, and backup storage. I also know pretty much squat about portable devices that play FLAC. Also like Esau, I don't use streaming services. I took me *months* to convert all my CDs, but it was totally worth it.

For my playback, I invested in a now-discontinued product called a Logitech Transporter (there are similar products out there that do the same thing). It's basically a fancy D>A converter with an easy-to-use interface. The main benefit of it over something like winamp is that my computer isn't powering the music or processing the signal, so there is no chance of computer noise or other artifacts making it through to the speakers. The computer simply houses the music; the transporter converts the digital FLAC files to wave forms and sends the signal to the amplifier or receiver.

I am going to guess this was the release that Neil changed his mind about and yanked at the last minute back in '89 or so. Cool beans.

Haven't seen them, but their studio work is excellent! Have fun.

Belated! Happy happy!

Happy birthday!

I saw these dudes at The Phoenix in the year 2000, or so. Pretty grooooovy!

I was there too! Great show!

I hear they played Hemispheres in its entirety?

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, too.

For those that like their rock a little more ballsy- check out J Roddy Walston and The Business.
