  1. I'm glad to see he is using some more mainstream venues this time around. The last time I saw him and he tried to thwart Ticketmaster AND scalpers we ended up in an area of Detroit that should have been called Beirut After-Dark. It was fucking scary, like honestly 'look over your shoulder and expect your car window to get smashed', scary.

  2. It was community theatre at it's best.... lighting miscues, inept soundmen etc. "The Band" weren't bad but as expected Richard couldn't hit the 'Richard' notes (not surprised, I mean who can?!) and some of the acting and script was pretty campy. That said it was a play about Richard Manuel and The Band and they played the actual music not some Muzak crap. The costumes and set design were pretty on point, in fact the costumes for specific events (Ed Sullivan, Woodstock) were exactly what they wore. 

    At the end of the night I was really happy to have gone and supported the arts and got to see some friends I don't see often enough so it was a total win.

    Seems strange to see a bootleg available like that on Amazon, especially ABB, considering how strict they usually are about that stuff. 

    I have noticed that there are more and more of these bootlegs popping up on Amazon. It seems the vinyl trend has those boot companies pressing stuff on vinyl that has been out of print at least as far as the ROIOs go.

    I just bought The Band - And Then There Were Four (live 1983) and Springsteen - Live at Winterland '78 boxed set for a good price on Amazon and they sound absolutely fantastic!
