Not sure why Chicago proper wasn’t chosen. But East Troy, Wisconsin, location is close to both Chicago and Milwaukee.

QuoteHairball Could be some very subtle use of the wah wah in Taylor's main solo on Heartbreaker (as if he has it completely stepped down on), as well as the lead towards the end... Yes, this.

There’s definitely an open G part on this track, but I’n hearing the main riff in standard — G to a C6.

Based on the “Exhibitionism” audio clips posted here a couple years ago — where visitors get to play around with the mix of certain tracks — the line is clearly “You got me leaking / I done blown my top.” Also, remember the NYC actor type who won the “Exhibitionism” contest? He hears Keith in the bridge singing “Get along with the shoeshine.”

Sorry for the lack of content lately! Here is Ep 13 — a look at some of Keith’s aggressive power-chord riffing, wherein he pulls off and hammers back on the root note. Seems to me he began doing this during the Some Girls sessions. Check it out!

Check out Ronnie’s “Undercover” solo in LA: vs Atlantic City: In LA, his tone is clean and dry. In AC, a pedal has been engaged. I seem to remember, much later (2005-07, I think), Ronnie about to take a solo on Angie. He looked back as if to signal “Are you guys going to turn that thing on or not?!” I wonder if, on songs whose arrangements are looser than others, Ronnie’s guys

YouTube analytics tell me it’s all arrows down for non-Keith videos. So here is Riff Cousins Ep. 12: Is the HTW intro lurking in “Good Times, Bad Times”? Also, I look at how Keith continued using what I call his “paleo” suspension shape (“19th Nervous Breakdown”). Check it out!

Literally to this day I thought the opening line was “Givin’ up / lovin’ it.” Now I discover it’s “giving up loving.” Remarkable.

Did you happen to notice that that the Stones mistitled their “Learning the Game” video as taking place in 2005? Sadly not atypical for them.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Too bad they didn't include the fantastic rendition of 2000 Light Years From Home from the Highwire b-side. I love that one, too. When you think of the sheer variety of that setlist, it’s impressive.

Steel Wheels was my first tour, and Flashpoint was my first live album. A *lot* of personal excitement around those two years, with anticipation for new solo albums following right on the heels of Flashpoint and At The Max. I’m no doubt in the minority, but I love the polished sound of that era. At that point in my early teens, I hadn’t heard any bootlegs of prior tours. So it was kind of surp

Had some fun with this one — Episode 9 of Riff Cousins. “Runnin’ Too Deep” and “Will But You Won’t.” Almost called it Riff Brothers or Twins! Most interesting bit, to me, is the use of a C7 shape in verses of RTD. Reminded me of Lowell George and “Fat Man in a Bathtub.” Check it out!

I was a bit surprised that it didn't top the Billboard Rock Digital Song Sales list, like for example, Dylan did with "Murder Most Foul" in its first week. But yeah, that of it covering just 12 hours makes sense. Probably that thursday 'leak' will slighty affect its 'true' first weak sales, but

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 What is great is how one chord can work for a writer. E.g. the diminished chord. a prolific writer will use that for the next year. It is very interesting to watch Dean Ween clips about his guitar playing, and his writing, because he always talks about their discovery of the maj7th chords, and the one position that you can basically slide up and down the board. He use
