I had a meet and greet ticket for Girlschool's final North American tour, but wasn't feeling well and didn't go. I think my concert going days, or at least my Rock concert going days, may be slowly winding down. I did see Suzanne Vega a few days ago and enjoyed it very much.

Oldies show next weekend featuring The Association (two original members) and Classics IV (zero original members). Two groups with a combined eight Top 10 hits between them, the last of which was on the charts when I was 9 years old. I'm 64 now.

Twenty-six dollars in my hand? $26.00 wouldn't get you very far today. Adjusted for inflation, the lyric should actually be, "Two hundred and forty-two dollars in my hand."

QuoteNilsHolgersson Name one Rock & Roll song by Mariah Carey? I can't name any song of Mariah Carey's at all. What's worse, if you played me her entire catalog, I probably wouldn't be able to distinguish any one of her songs from any other.

Still undecided about whether or not I want to see this tour. Can't really take the sight of Brian propped up at the piano with his arms hanging limp at his sides, not even pretending to play.

Lots of Lou Reed/Velvet Underground history in that part of the city. I think of them, more than I think of the Stones, when I'm in that neighborhood.

The Beatles "Hey Jude" promo clip had its American premier on the Smothers Brothers show. That was in Oct. '68, about six weeks after it first aired on the David Frost show in the UK. Nine years old at the time, I didn't really "get" that Tom and Dickie were a comedy team. I guess I just thought that they were supposed to be trying to be successful as a serious p

"Beck's Bolero," the greatest rock instrumental of all time, was the B-side of the dreadful "Hi Ho Silver Lining." That was in March 1967, more than a year before it appeared on the Truth LP.

QuoteCaptainCorella Quotebv I watched the video of the new song, as the single itself is not open in my region still, for some reason. The song is nice and beautiful, but the copy and paste graphics of the now diseased Beatles members is weired. Also, there is a great and nice guitar solo there, but no guitar player seen in the video during the solo, so it is obviously not a Beatle playing it, th

QuoteDrPete I think George is on the track but Paul did the solo George style The story back in 1995 was that they abandoned working on "Now and Then" because George didn't like it, wasn't happy with the way the session was going, and walked out. Whatever he did manage to put down on tape will be on the completed track, but either he never got around to recording a solo, or

QuoteCristiano Radtke Interesting that Paul never actually says who played the guitar solo, only that there's a solo, played "in the style" of George, and that it was done as a tribute to George. Presumably, Paul played it himself?

I was at the Madison Square Garden show. All I remember is that after they finished with a 10-minute version of JJF, obviously intended to placate the crowd and send everybody home with a smile on their face, they turned on the house lights, and a large number of people in the floor seats near the stage simply refused to leave. For quite a long time, they just continued to stand there, waiting, p

I always considered him to be a lightweight among heavies, but a rare (at the time) solo concert I saw him do in 1980 at The Palladium in New York remains one of the most enjoyable shows I've ever been to. He played an intimate club gig near me earlier this year, but it sold out before I even knew it had been scheduled.

First album I ever bought, in a supermarket while shopping with my mom in 1968 when I was nine years old. I bought it because I liked the faux Civil War uniforms they were wearing on the cover. No other reason. I liked the record, though, and listened to it often. Those songs still evoke strong feelings of nostalgia even today. Enough to go see him perform them in concert? Probably not.

Their show next month at Detroit's 15,000 capacity Pine Knob is nearly sold out. Among the tix still available, second row for $750 and third row for $500. Insane prices to pay for a tribute band. I saw them open for the Stones in 1978 and never had any desire to see them again.
