Not much else left off except apparently some goofy covers (e.g., "Spooky"). But that stuff is what like about the 1991 shows, including the Borderline shows.

I'm guessing the mountain stage show makes the out of time reissue, although I'd love an official release of the borderline shows.

The Unplugged CD comes out in a few weeks and I haven't yet talked myself into buying it. Did anyone pick up the vinyl? Is it worth it? I have a good-sounding copy of the 2001 sessions, so I'd really only be getting the 1991 version. It bugs me that neither set is really the "complete sessions,...

I got the download code for Dragon Pants but not for English Oceans. Anyone else have this issue?

Vinyl would cost too much. In a just world, this record would sell thousands of copies and justify a release in multiple formats, but this ain't a just world.

This sounds cool, but I wonder if it will end up in Archives Volume 2? If so, not sure I want to buy it now. Dammit, Shakey...

This is out on CD now, too.

Awesome. I'll be glad to finally have a legit copy of the first album, which has been out of print for almost 20 years. Love these guys, and both those records are classics.

I don't want to seem ungrateful but, the 97's again? I will hopefully make the TLA show. Saw them there on new years day a while back. I feel the same way and a lot of bitching from 97's fans about DBT on the ticketmaster concert reviews pages Funny thing is, I love both bands and wish they'd play ...

Interview with Mark Ortmann:

They're re-releasing the self-titled and The Brooklyn Side with bonus material and working on a DVD. Awesome.

Sinkhole - The Bottle Rockets

This weekend I was listening to The Spectrum on Sirius XM, and they played "Hold On."

People are really starting to take notice of this band.

RT'd today, (part of) the true story of Decoration Day.

Thanks for posting these. Great stuff.

Part of me is sad to hear this.

The rest of me is sad that I'm not sadder to hear this.

Thanks for the memories, guys.

That's an interesting question. To make it worth their while playing smaller venues, they'd have had to jack up ticket prices quite a bit. But my guess is that most concertgoers back then were teenagers and younger adults without a lot of money. It's not like today, where "classic rock" ba...

I used to have me a woman and a pretty fine home But it took so much to keep them both going I was always out and gone I came home one afternoon to get me change of clothes Caught a quick walkin' slick talkin' guitar picker Headin' out my back door Now I'm proud to say I ain't never been no violent ...

Thanks!

I checked out their songs online last week after Jason Isbell tweeted about them. They sound fantastic and should be a perfect opener for DBT.

I don't know what makes a great drummer, but Bill Berry had it.

Nice work as usual, cortez. Oddly enough, I just read this page the other day about all the references to the pre-war St. Louis blues scene in "Outside the Door." m Like you, it took me awhile to get into Sebastopol. It wasn't until I heard these songs live (both by Son Volt and by Farrar/...

have you ever had a seat where your sight line was obstructed by a mic stand? i have (wilco in concord last year), and it was very annoying. No, but that would definitely be annoying at a seated show. My experience with tapers has been at GA venues where the club either actively designates a tapers...

Lots of shades of gray here. I try to be conscientious about how my purchases (and non-purchases) affect the bottom line of artists I care about, but it's hard. I have several copies of music that friends have given me to try. Sometimes I end up liking the band and purchasing their music, in which c...

Two things: 1. MSTaper--thank you very much for your recordings. I have several of them, and they're all top-notch. To the extent that Jason might be concerned about quality of stuff in circulation, he's definitely not talking about yours. 2. Re: quality, if the choppy video is a problem, Jason coul...

This is disappointing. I'd be surprised if sound quality were really the reason for this decision. I've not heard any of Jason's recent shows (although I hope to catch him in DC next month), so I don't know how they sound, but the ones I got a few years ago sounded great. It seems that the bands tha...

Here's a more recent article about the B-Rox (not, as the author says, "B-Rockets.")

http://www.thetelegraph.com/articles/su ... drive.html

For those of you planning to use Metro to/from the show, looks like major track work next weekend. m The green/yellow lines (which go to the club) shouldn't be affected, except that last-call will be 30 minutes earlier than usual. The problem is more for anyone connecting to blue/orange. Good luck a...

If you don't already have tickets, better get them soon, sounds like.

Me too.
