  1. Lovely! And yes, it's refreshing to have some very affordable shows to attend this year.
  2. Thanks Deborah J! Anticipation is growing for the show I will see next month.
  3. Two of my favorites as well. I should stop visiting this forum, my wallet seems to get lighter each time I do. Another show I'm tempted to see. Thanks a lot! ;-)
  4. Hear Hear Spartan! To each his/her own, but Strider's posts and the set list have me re-thinking my decision to skip the Stones when they come to my area...also I really want to see Mick Taylor, by the time I was able to see the Stones, he had left. If I decide to go, option #2 it will be. Thanks for posting the excellent review and set list.
  5. A song that is often a punch line and overplayed, but still a great song for me. Lynyrd Skynyrd "Free Bird" at Knebworth 1976. I love looking at 1970s live music videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKZfRAuY-M4
  6. I'm going! Purchased tickets over the weekend.
  7. I think I'll try for one of the New England shows. Lots of concert choices this summer!
  8. Movies I've seen on DVD recently, haven't been to a theater since seeing "Argo" a few weeks back. Here they are in (my personal) first to last: "Searching for Sugarman" - very good documentary. There's a rather lengthy discussion about it in the "Other Bands/Music" section in this forum. "A Royal Affair" - Not really anything I haven't seen before. But I'll watch just about any period movie with excellent acting, scenery and costuming. "Catfish" - Documentary? Scripted? Nevertheless, it is entertaining, and makes one think twice about the people you meet online. As the saying goes, truth can be stranger than fiction (Manti Te'o).
  9. "Why don't you just tell me the movie you want to see?" Great episode. Back on topic. Another movie I watched again yesterday while doing some housework is "The Usual Suspects".
  10. Another thing to like about this forum. In addition to discussing Led Zeppelin and other music, I enjoy the movie recommendations and reminders (like fishhead's post) about movies I've missed. Saw "Argo" on the weekend. Thumbs up from me.
  11. Tuna salad (very light on the mayo) in a wheat wrap with chili lime hot sauce. Two thin mints Girl Scout cookies. A large glass of ice water spiked with pink lemonade.
  12. That is refreshing. These days it seems if there's not a win or a gold medal, it's a failure.
  13. Very sweet. Agree - on both of the above points (I think I would still enjoy their fries).
  14. A new member started a thread about The Black Keys, and it was mentioned there's already a thread, so I figured I'd bump this up with my comment that I just purchased my first Black Keys CD this week. Good band.
  15. Sorry I missed you the chase. Happy Belated and stay warm up there.
  16. Love "Billy Elliot". Surprised you did not mention the soundtrack - did you not care for it? The final scene is gorgeous. I'll admit to turning on the subtitles for a few viewings. Although they are speaking English, my American ears had a rough time with some of the dialogue. But I've done the same for some American actors.
  17. In case I don't make it onto the forum tomorrow (12th), Happy Birthday Ally!
  18. Hoffman is great, isn't he? Recently had an exchange with a friend about favorite books and movies. I believe that both "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "In Cold Blood" made it to each of our books and movies lists. If you enjoy the books, try to watch the films as well if you haven't seen them yet. "Capote" was excellent too. Without going into too much detail, I had a hard time getting the "heads in gauze" scene out of my head. If I watch that movie again, I think I'll skip that scene.
  19. Thanks The Rover! I think I might be interested in this. Have never seen Heart live. Saw JBLZE in November and had a great time. Usually make a trip out to Dallas in the summer, maybe I can tie this in.
  20. Saw "Zero Dark Thirty" at last, obviously there is quite a bit of truth-based violence, so it may not be for everyone. After a busy winter, I need to get out to see "Argo" before it leaves the cinemas. I think I've already missed "Django Unchained". A funny aside. I often play close attention to how non-American actors articulate an American accent, and vice-versa. Jennifer Ehele who had a part in "Zero" is my favorite Elizabeth Bennet ("Pride and Prejudice"). I always thought she was British. I was thinking to myself that her American accent was not very good. She's American. Edit to add: A silly but entertaining movie I recently saw on TV "Love Actually". Loved the aging rock star and the relationship with his manager, and of course the Colin Firth restaurant scene. I was in tears during the closing momnets when the Beach Boys "God Only Knows" was playing while footage of real people greeting at an airport (Heathrow?) was shown.
  21. "Hot Fun in the Summertime" - Sly and the Family Stone
  22. Damn, I could spent some serious time browsing there. Been slowly rebuilding my CD collection, new and replacements. What did you get? Are the prices based on the condition, popularity, etc.?
  23. Excellent! I look forward to hearing your review.
  24. ebk - Hope you'll have time to check in and tell us about some of the games, weather, food, and wine of course! planted - Congratulations on all of your recent happy news. To all of you who are having your aches and pains resolved - yay!
  25. That is a great story. Need more stories like this. A stranger and his wife went above and beyond to do something nice for me a few years back. I tried to give them some cash for their kindness, they wouldn't have any of it. The man asked me to do something nice for someone else as payment. I'll never forget it.
