One of the saddest parts of this lockdown is how much precious time we are losing for the boys to be playing. We all know the clock is ticking.

Bill Graham was pretty open and honest in his book about how he hyped attendance figures and sell-out times to create more hype and demand. He was a brilliant big event marketer. Example, the whole "sold out the Superdome in 9 minutes" type claims were more marketing "liberties" more than fact. It was all about getting that 2nd and 3rd show added to a market, because

I grabbed most of the post ABKCO releases on Japanese SHM/SACD a couple years ago. Well worth it if you have the equipment for it. Black & Blue and Emotional Rescue really shine in this format. Audiophile grade.

Quotemickschix Mick's hair was very long and blackish during the Hyde Park concert in July 1969 because he's just finished PERFORMANCE, right? Not a wig. I agree that he'd not take a chance of it coming off with hundreds of photographers around. His hair looked similar during " Rock N' Roll Circus" for the same reason....almost black & very long....I like his rea

QuoteStoneage I'm more of a Ernie Watts fan. He had a free flow and connected very well with the band. Added another dimension. I have nothing against Bobby Keys but he kind of did his spots and then was out. Not much improvising there. On the other hand he didn't encroach on the two guitarists. I understand he was a good friend with Keith so...there you go. Ernie Watts is certainly

This was the last show he was still using his 81/82 voice. Deeper to conserve it. By the Australia tour, he had reverted to singing in tune and over-enunciating similar to Steel Wheels.

QuoteGAFF I really want to visit Austin, but I'll do it another time. Everything I've heard about the venue led me to cancel my room and book Minneapolis instead. Smart decision. You definitely need to hit Austin and spend a long weekend though. The show though just sounds like a big cluster-f. Maybe if I was 20 years younger.

If you are planning to spend a couple extra days in Austin, these 2 food spots are a MUST: 1. The original Chuys on Barton Springs. Best Tex-Mex on the planet. But only the original location. 2. Salt Lick BBQ. It's a ways out of town, so you may want to carpool with the group. It's got a great outdoor area with lots of seating and entertainment if there is a wait, which is li

I travel to Austin regularly since I have a satellite office there. Austin is a great Airbnb town, and is now my preference over hotels there. I strongly recommend finding an Airbnb in the "South Congress" area. It is a great area with amazing food and entertainment options.

It was very hot and stuffy, and as soon as it opened you could feel the stuffy air just lift. It made it a litt
