I plan on going to all 3 of the main options given. Obviously I can't go to all 3 on NYE, and DBT is only playing one night so I'm doing: 12/30: Mule 12/31: DBT 1/1: Phish Probably my 3 favorite live bands, playing 3 nights in a row, in my favorite city. Can't beat that. Wow. I still haven't heard ...

i had a great time, nice preshow dinner and a bit of boozing before the show with some pretty alright folks. getting poured on from the tavern to the show just made me want to party down even harder. i actually liked where we sat for the show. i actually did pretty good and didn't completely blow m...

Good problem to have. I hope I get 12/30 or 1/1 for Phish at MSG and then I'll buy my Terminal 5 ticket. I'm keeping my finger crossed for the Phish mail order. But it will be a really tough ticket to get.

Here's to hoping. I'll grab my Terminal 5 if I get any of the Phish mail order tickets.

C/mon Iowan. Get with it. Setlist? I think he is still shitting himself since there were 3 ABAAC songs. Here is what I remember. Started out weird, as Patterson was going slow, then Cooley would rock, then Pat slow, back to Cooley rock. Then Patterson just went with it and put on a hell of a show. ...

C/mon Iowan. Get with it. Setlist?

Have fun tonight Iowan. Finally the Iowa show you've been waiting for. Represent.

Really dug the show. Songs in different places. Angels and Fuselage did me in. Damn. That is why you go to shows. Really kicking myself in the ass this morning after missing the Delta Dawn and Angels and Fuselage with Kelly Hogan. It would have been a tough drive home late on a Tuesday night. Damn!...

Having lived in the Chicago area I should be a huge fan of these guys. I've seen them probably 10 times or so in places from bars like Schubas to the large theaters. To be honest, I just don't understand their popularity. They are talented musicians, but too often when they reach the pinnacle of th...

A very nice write up and introduction indeed.

I would like to order one in XL

As a doner to Farm Aid oranization I just received my Pre-sale tickets for the show at Miller Park on 10/2. Acccompanying the tickets was a letter which provided details regarding the concert as well as what is permitted and not-permitted. Also in the letter they stated that the Drive By Truckers sh...

My favorite music doc is definitely Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart." The film is so perfectly done that even if it was fictional, it would be a great movie. You can just feel the friction and annoyingness of Jay Bennett wearing on the band and then gets fired. Getting dropped fr...

I'd just like to unintelligebly say that whenever DBT is on a break I'd give my left nut to see a small acoustic Cooley tour. Some of those live recordings on the net are some of my favorites.

Regarding DBT's shelf life, hopefully endless.

No doubt he would be walking a bit slower, from carrying Dwayne Wade's jock strap for him. What a pussy.

This was tough. Pretty much anything in the top 30 could jump into the top five, depending on my mood. All song titles c/p from Wikipedia: 1 "Zip City" (Cooley) 2 "Carl Perkins' Cadillac" (Cooley) 3 "The Living Bubba" - (Hood) 4 "Outfit" (Isbell) 5 "Wome...

That would explain it. Don't patricipate in the Facebook craze.

Shitty day at work. Haven't chuckled until now.

Where the hell did you find this? Youtube of course. But how?

The Streets- A Grand Don't come for Free
Phish- Rift
Genesis- The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Lou Reed- Berlin
Pink Floyd- Animals
Smashing Pumpkins-Mellencollie and the Infinite Sadness

It's more than a month away and I still can't wait. Excellent ol' theatre which is condusive to partying with highly affordable beers. The past two times that I have seen them there were ragers. I wanted to see who else was heading out for this one. And secondly, who is heading to Farm Aid at Miller...

This category really brought back some excellent memories....thanks. Here are my most note worthy. Phish (Page McConnell x 4, Trey Anastasio x 2, Mike Gordon x 3, Jon Fishman x 1) Bobby Weir Vince Welnick (former Dead keyboardist the year he died) Buddy "Mutherfucking" Guy Warren Haynes (a...

I absolutely love these guys. I'll throw them on at work right now...

"Night time drives me crazy I bang my head on the wall. Used to call me baby and now you don't call at all..."

Page McConnell from Phish
Jason Isbell with DBT
Graham Nash w/ anyone
The Wailers
Bell Biv Devoe

They dissed DBT? What did they say? If so, fuck them.

Here's hoping there are pigeons in the studio when they record their next album. The next album they record will no doubt extend their run to 5 solid albums in a row. Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak are phenomenal albums. Because of the Times is highly underrated and although havin...

[/quote] palooza? how is that as an event? cool or pain in the ass?[/quote] In my opinion for a big festival it is very well run. I believe that it is managed by the same company that does the Austin City Limits festival. It is located in Chicago's Grant Park and covers are pretty vast area. I've fo...

"High Fidelity"
"Good Will Hunting"
"She's the One"
"Garden State"
"The Big Chill"
"Lost Highway"

They are definitely showing the Midwest some love and I really appreciate that. There are a lot of shows that I would like to see there, but as it stands I'll only probably be hitting up Milwaukee and St. Louis. Where is that fucker Iowan when you need him. He's be praying for an Iowa show again fo...
