I didnt know Ray Manzarek lived in Simcoe.

count me in your camp

what the hell does your dog get into/up to that you have to mop every other day? make that pooch pay his own way ... bottle his drool

ive noticed most of the posts here originate from people in ottawa. is eating all y'all do up there?

move? try steam cleaning, or pick up a carpet disinfectant at PetValu, that may help. but once the allergens are in the carpet, i don't think you have any choice but to remove it altogether, if you have health concerns. thats what we did. masking the scent wont have any effect on the allergens in the carpet. reducing the humidity in the house can also help lessen the smell. and ask your vet for a good shampoo for your dog. they make fancy herbal shampoos now. our dog has been sprayed by skunks a couple of times, so I can relate to stinky dog problems. ugh. good luck. nothing worse than stinky dog smell, as much as ya love them.

this is great news indeed, but in a few state measures they restricted abortion, banned gay marriage, banned stem cell research, and rejected alternative energy research. stupid people shouldnt be allowed to vote.

love him or hate him, one thing I dont think we can argue about is that Dylan is not afraid to put great openers out on the stage. he told me that last night, when we had dinner together.

very tempting now. have been out a couple of times for SCI NYE in SF and its always a lot of fun. in fact, I dont think I ever had a bad time with SCI. will miss these guys, but all good things must eventually come to an end, I guess.

but, of course the tix will be Elton-priced. "HEY Cash Cow! Come here! I want to grab you!!" :mad: i dont think Sir Phil can relate to the common folk anymore. Im saving my pennies for Cher in Vegas. She's real.

i remember when a bag of chips was 15cents and a Grape Lola could be had for a dime. but, back then we had to walk barefoot, on shards of glass, in the dead of winter, 5 miles uphill (both ways) to school. ah, good memories.

I like Yves too. Good stuff. But I have never understood why veggie food manufacturers intentionally make their products to look/seem like meat. Is it to get kids to eat them?

I love this! What other performer can provoke such strong disagreement about their performance? I really cannot disagree with most of what ya'll have reported, I'm just interpreting it quite differently. This is a very typical post-show Dylan discussion. Cheers! ps, fwiw, he did nod at Denny at least four times during the show.

Dylan does not "move", which, in itself, doesnt mean a "weak effort" in my mind. And, yeah, he's not exactly known for his diction, again, not a "weak effort". When I said weak vocals earlier, I meant he doesnt belt it out, which I kinda assumed people would know is a given - but yes, it's also something that a lot of people are very quick to jump on, especially those who have not seen him too many times. Im quite certain that anyone in the first few rows who could see the man clearly would agree that this was hardly a "weak effort". He was lucid, attentive to his bandmates, and as energetic as Dylan ever gets. But no, this aint no Cher show with dancing girls and big videos.

wow. you serious? I disagree. there was nothing weak about his effort. he didnt play the album versions, no doubt, but that doesnt make his performance "weak" in any way.

i think where one was sitting made a big difference - generally does at most shows. we were also in the 3rd row center on the floor. being able to see Bob's up close like that was great. here's the Globe and Mail review of the show. he's right - Bob switched up most arrangements, making some chestnuts unrecognizable. but, im of the opinion that I pay to see the guy perform how HE wants not, not how I want him to, so that was super duper with me. this is one of those shows that will become better as you listen to it again later.

what? you arent into $12 beers at ACC?

wha-wha-whaaaaat?! did you tape it? foo's too? gear? SWEET!

well said as to other's common complaint of him being "off" or "bad", I think thats just a matter of personal opinion, mood, seat, etc. Yes, his vocals are often weak, he's not the best keyboard player in the world, his interaction with the crowd is zero ... but he's Bob Freakin' Dylan!! If anyone has earned the right to approach his perfomance on stage as he sees fit, he has. and fwiw, he WAS into the show on Friday. we were close enough to see him smiling to band members, nodding to give solo's, mocking sour notes, etc. the man ain't gonna tapdance on a trampoline. he's just gonna play live some of the greatest songs ever written.

anyone else go? I really enjoyed the show, pretty standard set. Bob's on keyboards (and harp) throughout the whole show, backed up by an excellent band. Opened with Maggie's Farm, and treated us to a range of tunes, old and brand new. Tweedle Dee is a fun tune that almost got the conservative crowd going, but alas, didnt. Overall, an A- (mostly because we had excellent seats and its fun to see Bob almost look at the crowd). The Foo Fighters opened, and were very impressive. I'd never seen them live before and had always just figured they were a toss-away band, but Grohl's the real deal. This was an acoustic set for them and they were very warmly welcomed by a crowd that seemed to be there to see them just as much as Dylan. The highlight of the evening, and perhaps one of the greatest single moments I have ever seen in concert was his solo version of Best of You. Utterly spine tingling. BE SURE to get there to see this! I think a lot of people were either late for, or completely missed the show due to a big pile-up on the 401 from TO. We got inside just as the Foo's took the stage, despite leaving more than an hour early. Peace to the people in the munched cars. Dylan Setlist, courtesy of BobLinks (Bill Pagel) 1. Maggie's Farm 2.

Pilfering shamelessly from Stoned's QOTD post from Friday, I offer up this one: What's the worst song(s) by your favourite band(s)? (also known as the pee break song). Mine would be: Blue Jean: David Bowie Samba in the Rain: Grateful Dead

i cant figure out how to use them. pizzas always turn into panzo's. made 'za last night. mmmmmmmmmmm, hot peppers from our garden ...

she's sexy ... ok ok, so is Robin

EXCELLENT! Im jealous. A real treat! Paul Heaton has a great pop voice, I think. Yeah, I noticed how many horns were on the live tracks. Really added to it all and would have been amazing to see in such a small venue. How long was the show? Did you have a voice left at the end of the eveing? See any tapers? (motionless guys wearing baseball hats, glasses and a heavy backpack up near one of the speakers, hehe)
