QuoteskipstoneYeah, shit. I finally just got the highest end Beta-Max for $5. It's awesome! I'm not saying to wait for 25 years but,a year or two wait is usually a good idea - or I would at least wait until you know that what you're buying functions the way that it's supposed to.

I do as well,especially when you consider this : ~ As tempting as it may be,it is generally sound advice to avoid buying newly designed technology products,automobiles etc. as the manufacturers almost always need time to iron out excessive flaws.For example,if a car is redesigned for the 2010 model year,I would wait for the 2011 model.Another example would be Blu-Ray disc players : The first rou

Well,I would imagine that if the original source has no gaps (assuming that you have the original source,a clean copy or transfer of the original source,or access to it),you can rip a complete concert as one long file that you can play without gaps on your player.That should be one way of doing it.You should also be able to remove any gaps you may have with various appropriate software.

Quotecchmm, I'd never heard of these Cowons. Support for flac would certainly simplify things for me, as I try to acquire most stuff in that format. And if it has better sound...

The Cowon players give you (probably) the best sound of a portable audio player and also the added advantage of battery life + they support the most formats : FLAC,OGG,WAV in addition to MP3's and WMA files.It's good to have extra format options.I only know of two other brands that even support WAV : Apple and @#$%&.

Of the possible "potential replacement warhorses" mentioned here,I think that Rip This Joint (less than 12 performances since '75) ,Rooster,It's All Over Now,and Time Is On My Side (once since '82 by the Stones) should be played more.Street Fighting Man has a good shot if there is a next tour.

See post # 2 on this thread.Nobody here knows exactly what they were thinking.Why did they not play it (SFTD) in '82 or '73 etc..?Why didn't they play Midnight Rambler in 1994??They could have played Love Is Strong and Sympathy at every Voodoo Lounge show and dropped Honkey Tonk Women for the first 2 and a half months but,they didn't do it that way.Maybe it was because Sympath

Playstation 3 System Software Update version 2.36 is now out.It includes the big updates from version 2.30 as well as 2.35.Make sure to have this done (at least 2.30) especially if you plan to play the Shine A Light Blu-Ray disc on it.
Forum: Tell Me

You are correct.It was probably just because they wanted more of a difference between the (then) new tour and the previous ('89-'90) tour.After 2 and a half months they broke down and brought it back in typical Stones fashion.SFTD wasn't even in huge need of a rest at that point as it had only been played a handful of times in '75/'76 since 1970 (other than '89/'

For the Licks Tour,I would say the Wiltern version is the best.Boston 2003 was great as well but,no Stray Cat Blues from that tour matches the Wiltern Theatre version.

I actually think that "Shattered" has aged better than any pre-1980 track.It fits seemlessly in rock stations' rotations (the stations that play old,new and in between) where as a more rare song like "Dead Flowers" (for example) stands out more/seems a little out of place with the songs played before it.

Say what you will about A Bigger Bang but,it doesn't sound dated.It hasn't been out for three years yet.Only some tracks on Undercover sound dated.Dirty Work and Steel Wheels sound dated but not as dated as two other albums.Really,the most dated is Between The Buttons followed by TSMR as the music sounds the most far away from what modern music sounds like.

I don't either but,I figured that I at least helped out (if nobody else) the guy with the PS 3 who didn't hear as big an improvement with Blu Ray discs as he could/should with Blu Ray discs that inlude Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio soundtracks (such as the forthcoming "Shine A Light" Blu Ray disc) because he probably did not have things set up as needed to benefit.

None of this means anything unless Boston can defeat the Lakers in one of the next three chances.The Lakers win three straight all of the time.Every team that wins the Super Bowl has to win at least three in a row at the end.I wouldn't rule it out for the Lakers.

I wish they would let the players decide the game without so many fouls.The way it is now,if someone tries to guard a player closely and play tight defense,it's a foul.I cannot believe that they put Paul Pierce on the foul line again (the same as in game 2 with the score 104-102) at the end of the game (game # four) after that ridiculous flop acting job.This garbage is hurting the game.The N
