  1. Every six months they say this documentary will be out in six months. Wish they would hurry up. And i truly hope the footage is "never before seen" and not just the same old snippets we have been seeing for years.

    If it takes long, that's because is gonna be an amazing documentary (or at least I hope so).

    The Doors

    Greg Prato, N.Y.

    Marking the 41st anniversary of the release of the Doors' classic self-titled album are several band-related projects already in shops and on the horizon. Tops on the list is an as-yet-untitled documentary that will chronicle the group's entire career.

    "We have plans for a big Doors documentary film in the works," Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek tells Billboard.com. "I saw the first cut of it yesterday, and it's looking real good. But that won't be out 'til another six months."

    You can read the remainder of the article here.

    Nice, thanks for the information man.

  3. If a good seat is purchased for a sold-out show through a professional ticket agency/broker/scalper it probably comes close to that figure - something like 50 to 100 times what we used to pay to see these same artists.

    Exactly. Last year to see Aerosmith on Quilmes Rock 2007 Argentina, we had to pay between $210 (pesos) and $450 (pesos). Is like: 65u$s and 139u$s (dollars). 139u$s to see them right in front of you. Well when I say "we", realy im not on that grup, because I couldn't see the show :( .

  4. I've seen three of the groups on your list several times and, back in the 70's, always paid less than $10 for a good seat.

    I remember those days - an album and a concert ticket were around the same price. I used to earn enough money from one long night of babysitting to pay for the album, the concert ticket, and subway fare to get to the concert.

    Amen to that. I think "Ticketbastard" didn't come along until right around the end of my Zep concert days. The lone scalpers standing in the parking lots never bothered me - if the show was sold out, sometimes that was the only way we could get tickets - most of those lone scalpers didn't try to extort us. It seems that, when the agencies and corporations came along, prices got out of hand.

    Now... $800 for a Eric Clapton concert.

  5. I had a thermo long sleeve doors shirt in the 7th grade i think...and in one of those grades i did the lyrics of -not to touch the earth in caligraphy, in an art class. My teacher applauded me on not seeing someone do the lyrics of stairway to heaven again. I love this band and even though the sound was limited in a way, isnt every band limited. They took their music as far as they could, just as every band, or artist does. Ofcourse they could've done more too.

    True. Some times I think about that. How many grate artist died? Jim Morrison, Jimmi Hendrix, Bonzo, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc.... Damn. All of them could've done more. If Zep do all that in 12 years, in 40 years? And the same question about Jimmi and Stevie Ray.

    That's makes me sad. But like you said:

    They took their music as far as they could, just as every band, or artist does
  6. This Was(their 1st LP released in 1968) is probably NOT the best way to introduce somebody to Tull's music. I love that release, but things changed quite a bit when Mick Abrahams left the band in December 1968 and Ian Anderson took control. The very next release Stand Up released in 1969 shows Ian in full control and has stood the test of time. Buy the remastered Stand Up with bonus tracks. Oh, if I remember correctly, the remastered Stand Up is dedictated to none other than Led Zeppelin for allowing Tull to be the opening act on Zeppelin's 1969 tour.

    So what is the best album to start with Jethro?

    I like This Was, but I want to hear more, so tell me...
