I looked into the Marriott while on Expedia and while it is fully refundable, it must be paid for immediately. If you can afford to pay for it up front, no problem I guess. You can cancel up to Sept 22nd for free. Does anyone know anything about the Holiday Inn which also seems to be nearby? 811 N. 9th Street. plexi

IT IS NOW ONE WEEK SINCE OUR BELOVED GOD CHARLIE PASSED. I THOUGHT GODS DIDN'T DIE. I got a message from another librarian of all damned things, but she didn't name him, just said 'one of your band members' and I feared it was Charlie and went straight to IORR where the terrible news was confirmed. I read some of the posts and the announcement by the spokesman, and after

I should remember some of these details, but I don't. I was at the Kopenhagen show too, but we'd just flown in and I had been up for two nights in a row without sleep. I nearly made it three nights in a row but crashed at 3 am. Guess I was trying to match Keith. What I remember are a couple of things: Ronnie played a perfect Mick Taylor solo on Can't You Hear Me Knockin; we w

Also expect some "operational on-site" upgrades to happen. That back GA you got may get bumped to something better. Yeah, agree it's not likely. But, there are an awful lot of empty seats, and with travel restrictions and leerine

I have a friend in Sacramento who has a blues show on the public radio station who wishes to do a Charlie tribute and asked me if I know of any such recordings. Or anything blues-based that involved Charlie, say non-Stones or rare early Stones blues style recordings? plexi

Quote24FPS QuoteThe Sicilian Personally, I still haven't gotten over missing Zeppelin. Back in 1977 when Robert Plant's son died I had tickets in my hand. We were 12 days and two shows away from the highly anticipated concert. Of course the tour was rightfully cancelled, as it should have been. Still, I was devastated. So we returned the tickets (we did not get the service charge back)

Fine job of assembling all those newspaper front pages, Olaf. Powerful. Did you personally scan them, or more likely, just pull them off the web?
