I guess if Simon Wright is in for this performance, it means the band may have definitively decided that Phil is out. If Phil is definitely out, I'd rather they go with Simon and Chris Slade than an entirely new drummer.

It's my understanding that since late 1962, Paul McCartney has always owned 25% of Northern Songs, which is now part of Sony's catalog. Brian Epstein worked with well known English publisher Dick James to have Northern Songs set up and the ownership was 50 % to Dick James, 25% to John Lennon and 25% to Paul McCartney. As a result, John and Paul earned money both as minority owners of th

If they go in order of how these concerts were released as downloads, then Tokyo 90 would be next, followed by Toronto 05 and Leeds 82. Brussels 73 was the first download, but there may not be a From The Vault release of it as they still have those expensive box sets to get rid of and apparently there is little video footage from it.

Another sad loss in the music world. Unfortunately it's going to keep going on as all of these great musicians get into their 60s and older. I still had hopes that the Faces reunion with Rod would happen eventually, but it wasn't to be. I feel fortunate though that I did get to see Ronnie and Mac play a few songs with Rod at the Hollywood Bowl in 2004.

Speaking of Lennon, he was apparently the source of some of the Beatles bootlegs that came out in the 70s. Sometime around 1974 or so, he supposedly started trading tapes with New York collectors. He wanted to get live Beatles recordings for his own collection and I believe he traded them some of the studio tapes he had for their live tapes.
