Lefsetz has it bang on, and I mostly concur with jerboa's thoughts. I too received a freebie for the Roger Waters show and while it was certainly at a high level of entertainment value (easily the best SOUNDING arena show I've ever heard - at the freakin' Rogers Centre!) it was just another go round the old catalogue for the most part. Another chance for some people to say "hey I got to go see a legend". Whatever that's worth. And Roger Waters must love it. Look for him to go back on the road in 2008.

Lefsetz's points re the likes of Neil Young and Dylan are also spot on. When I caught the CSNY shows a year or so ago they were inspired, on fire, but why? Not because they got to do "For What It's Worth" for the nth time. Because Neil brought nine or so new songs to the table, most all from Living With War. It was NEW! It was current. Most of the audience didn't know about it, didn't want to know, but just like giving them Greendale back in 2003, Neil just took the ACC stage and did what HE wanted to do. Revved up the whole band around him in doing so. How can you not respect him for it?

The whole reunion thing is weird. You'd think it would be limited to the 60's/70's bands/artists, but check it again: Depeche Mode and Duran Duran do boffo business all around the world. Although they never broke up, Bon Jovi continues to pack arenas almost everywhere.

I am absolutely sure the LZ show was a blast, and they were inspired and on their games. But imagine if Zeppelin had taken the stage and opened with two or three NEW songs. The last thing those 20000 people would have expected, or expected to pay for. That would really grab my attention.

not much into Queen but I agree they nailed their gig at Live Aid, just a riveting performance.

I regret jumping to conclusions in the other thread. It was unkind.

I am glad to hear he is alert and wish him a safe and speedy recovery.

I'd like to second the motion for a bokonon forum.

in retrospect, it was crass of me not to offer best wishes to the man in question. I sincerely hope he recovers from his coma and takes full and honest stock of the circumstances that got him there.

I actually feel kind of sick reading some of these posts.

(((( good vibes for Hal Johnson ))))

((( good vibes to the person whose house got broken into by a drug addict, hope they get over the shock of having to protect themselves from a criminal )))

Ringo said it - Lennon wrote it.

Lennon/McCartney, not Lennon alone.

Hey, anyone remember that New Deal show a few years ago when they covered Livin' on a Prayer and every single person in the place sang ALL the lyrics?

yes, yes I do. that was fun!

it's just you.

happy birthday to ya!

paragraph breaks are the hottest new trend!

make sure that in March, when they ask you how the game was, you say "what game?".

Does she take a nap at any point during the show?

just wondering.

I was just wondering since some songs that did fall into the catergory as you explained Marc0, have been rejected in past topics, so I asked.

lol! well, I admit we have been learning as we go!

anyway back to the current theme folks!

It's true that in this day and age most established artists have already unloaded most of their unreleased material and I acknowledge we've had some debates about what can or can't be included here that needn't be had.

The main function of the rule is to make sure that the hypothetical 12 song CD we're compling could actually be compiled from official sources. Also so that they don't just become "fantasy" albums, people listing tracks that simply don't exist apart from their own stoned imaginations.

In this case, the theme is pretty easy to play on - "Songs The Black Crowes have covered". If however the theme was "Black Crowes versions of cover songs" then you'd have to ensure the Crowes have indeed released a version of it, officially and not just in trader's circles.

Edit to add: so then yes, the Instant Live discs are certainly official releases. They can count, no problem. http://stores.musictoday.com/store/dept.asp?band_id=926&sfid=2&dept_id=7643

and looking at the CBC report, I had no idea he was such a freaky looking hippie back in the day!

I really enjoyed his show growing up and looking back I am sure it was him who got me thinking about food and getting into the kitchen. His recipes were accessible and he didn't get too hung up on the details - it was true home cooking.

Apparently he really was a bit of a lush.

RIP James.

since the hypothetical CD we're compiling is "Songs The Black Crowes have covered", I'd say the songs in question simply have to have been released by the original artist. So, you'd get the original versions of these songs on the CD, not the BC versions.

1:45 All Out Mayhem

I am a WEE bit disappointed that the collaborative end set was only a song?!?! Not much of a jam if you ask me... Otherwise it was a very fun night.

BUT SPICED RUM SLOW IS GOOD DRINK BUT NOT A PINT WHICH I DRANK, IT NUMBS ALL

a beautiful human being, what a loss to the world.

RIP George. Those who know about you, know.

News of a new Anal Cunt album will get even the most jaded gen X'er out of their chair and jumping for joy!
