Watched "HOT ROD TV" Sunday morning on Speed. I was having breakfast and there was not much else on, so while surfing, something caught my eye. There was a guy wearing a Gibson hat...hello! Let's just take a peek and see what's up here. As it turns out the owner of a hot rod was getting Gibson guitars custom shop to make a guitar to match his car. They chose the Les Paul model for the project. While in their conference room discussing the build I noticed two large pictures on the wall...yup, one of 'em was Jimmy! Sorry, I have no idea who the other guy was (might have been Billy Gibbons since there was a Whole Lotta Beard).
Took long enough for me to tell ya I saw a picture of Jimmy on a wall, huh? Oh well, he's worth it.

Well the last U2 360 tour concert was last night.
To rate my next statement you should know that I have seen these bands live:
April Wine
The Guess Who
BTO
RUSH
The Rolling Stones
AC/DC
and...
um...
er,,,
*cough*
Celine Dione, Ricky Scaggs, Shania Twain and a few others.
anywho...
Last night was by far the best I have ever been to. No competition. For me Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd would top it, but that ain't gonna happen now izit? The stage, the lights, the atmosphere, the people! to hear 80,000 people not just "singing to the music" (oh oh oh oh) but to be yelling the words! There were times I could not hear a thing coming from the speakers. Bono stopped a couple of times to listen to us. I'm sure this happens at most if not all the concerts they have, but I was at this one!
The show was opened by Carney http://www.carneyband.com/ They have a good connection to U2. Next up was Arcade Fire http://www.arcadefire.com/ who opened for U2 back in '05. What a high energy group they are. Fantastic musicians as well.
One of the great show highlights for us was "The Ballad of Springhill". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springhill_mining_disaster And Bono even sung a verse of "Hallelujah".
No special guests...as were rumored. Would have been nice, but certainly not needed.
Thanks all.
Steve

Just reading some of the above posts make me happy.
However, the reason for this post is...tomorrow is the last stop on U2's 360 tour, sad, but I'm going, happy. I'll be there with my daughter, my brother and my sister and her family. Rumors are spreading about special guests since it is the last show. A reunion of "It Might Get Loud"!?!?!? Not bloody likely. But there has been talk of Eric Clapton and BB King. Plausible.
This time tomorrow night I will be there, hopefully the rain will hold off and it will be a memory maker.
Tid bit: there will be more people at that concert than the entire population of the city hosting the concert!

I don't post often but this deserves my attention.
Happy Birthday and thanks for all the great reads. Today's included.

Hope this isn't a re-post.
Deborah Bonham singing Roberts "Big Log"...
As a Stratocaster player I am always looking for that song with the unmistakable sound of a Strat. Not so much here but lots to be had on the original.

JPJ and Beck? Yes.
Many times he has had guests on stage with him, what a gift that would be.
On a similar note...JPJ and Tal Wilkenfeld? Dueling basses! (does she still do any tours with him?)
Listening to Jeff Beck at Crossroads 2007 right now.
-
Thanks Deborah J. Love seeing collections like that and the history that goes with them.
I am looking forward to seeing Mr. Beck in October when he comes to our little town.

Way to go Walter!!
Well it's that time of the year again...the McLobster is back! Any one else able to get Lobster at McDonald's? Or is it just a regional thingy?

Well unlike DavidZoso I don't have the beautiful curves of a female showing up at my door (by the way, congrats DZ) however I do have some beautiful new curves lying in my lap this evening...my new Stratocaster. Time to go make her sing to me.

What a great picture of Sara! She looked wonderful on Dancing With The Stars.

Haha, thank you.
I don't dress up like that every day though. Hi Leah Lilith Eleida,
Is that a dragon on your shoulder?

The 3 porkers...ew! Took a minute.
Water reflections are always great shots.
Mine, morning fog starting to clear...

^^ Thanks The Pagemeister ^^ I have enjoyed Robbie Robertson for a long time.
What a career, what talent.

The rain finally stopped! After the better part of 3 weeks.
Fortunately no flooding where I live and my town isn't burning to the ground as we speak.
Here is wishing all the best to those in need right now.

Just finished watching American Trucker. Not something I have ever watched before, but as I was channel surfing I saw something shiny!
What really kept me on the show was the music they played part way through..."In My Time of Dying". No words being sung. Just instrumental. A version I have not heard before. Likely a cover by another band, but something I was pleasantly surprised to hear.

A Year Without Rain - Selena Gomez & The Scene

You must be a Top Gear fan.
That I am! For you to know that I would guess you or someone you know is too.
-
Gotcha!! You didn't think that was me, did you?
Isn't that a funny one? I found the pic on the website Awkward Family Photos and had a good laugh.
That poor child. What were those parents thinking?
Maybe I will post a real photo of myself at some point.
Whew!!
Glad that's cleared up! I wanted to say something about it but just did not have the gentleman's vegetables to it!
I wanted to ask about the year and weather conditions that day. Humid and windy?

I Can't Quit You Baby - um, well, you know!
I don't dress up like that every day though. 
What Made You Happy today?

I just won a pair of tickets to The Moody Blues!
Next Friday night here in town. T-shirt, mouse pad (haven't used one of those in years), signed drum head and a string pack! Giddy-up! A couple of weeks later I'll be going to see Jeff Beck. Last month I went to the U2 concert.
Now, only if...nah, I won't go there!
