I'm pretty sure that's the cover of a bootleg, not a concert poster.

I have a lot of unofficial live recordings but very few are Zeppelin. I would like to hear more but I'm not going to give bootleggers any of my money for them.

Your mileage may vary but I consider Some Girls to be a bonafide classic from start to finish. "U2 money?" I've been a fan for years but never saw them in concert until last year. I paid around $45 for my ticket and there were some available for less than that.

Long out of print reggae classic from the 80s that I was able to reconnect with via the magic of the innerwebz.

Gentleman Jesse & His Men w/Last Year's Men and the Barreracudas at King's Barcade in Raleigh last night. Missed Last Year's Men but have seen them before. They're all just teenagers but they know their way around a good garage/punk rock song. Unfortunately there wasn't much of a crowd so it'll be a wonder if Gentleman Jesse ever ventures up this way from Atlanta again. Be sure to see them if you ever get a chance, especially if you're a fan of high energy power pop.

Even though I was born in 1962, I have a hard time coming up with my favorite albums from the sixties. Maybe because I really didn't start paying attention to music until the early 70s or because I don't really tend to think of albums in terms of decades except for the 70s onward due to the previously stated reason. Re: The discussion earlier in the thread about the exclusion of Zeppelin albums; I never once thought in a million years that I would ever agree with anything icantquityoubabe (now known as "silvermedalist") said but in this case I do. Since it's a Led Zeppelin site it's a given that we're all Zeppelin fans so it makes it more of a challenge to list albums besides theirs. With that said, here's my stab at a list:

Just curious. As I previously mentioned in this thread, his work can be hit or miss. I always make it a point to at least sample a few tracks from his newest albums whether it be via a YouTube clip or something on his website. I'm certainly intrigued by Le Noise but it hasn't been enough to compel me to fork over the cash for it just yet. On the other hand, I haven't missed any of his archival releases (save for the Archives, Vol. 1 boxset). That's a bit pricey and is apparently rather redundant. I always understood it would be mostly unreleased stuff but evidently it's not.

I remember hearing their cover of R.E.M.'s "It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" on a Detroit, MI radio station (The River?) eons ago but I can't say I was ever all that fond of it. What's their other stuff like? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OENjixZd_Oo

I've already named three but I can easily name three more. Hopefully kidmoon (the originator of this thread) won't pop back in to admonish me. Hard to believe this still isn't available on compact disc.

For all of the Jimmy Buffett fans (never cared for the term "Parrothead") out there here's some vintage footage from one of his old tours circa the You Had To Be There album:

I've been posting tidbits of info about the recent reunion of Buffalo Springfield at Neil Young's annual Bridge School benefit in the Neil Young thread but in all honesty, it deserves a thread of it's own. I'm also quite surprised there hasn't been more reaction to it here. Perhaps because most people have fled old fashioned message board such as this for Facebook? From NoDepression.com: I have seen rock and roll past and its name is Buffalo Springfield Posted by Steve Dougherty The surviving members of the late, great and short-lived Buffalo Springfield performed in concert this weekend for the first time since they broke up in 1969. The occasion for the get together was Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit concert, a two day event at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountainview, Ca. I attended Saturday's show. The reunion of Young's former band was the headline attraction and it was bittersweet. You were left agog at the thought of what might have been had they stuck around instead of disintegrating after three albums and barely two years together. Seeing them live and in such great voice made me realize what a huge vacuum they left and what a shame it was that other, vastly inferior hooks-and-harmony guitar bands (who said anything about the Eagles?) came along and commandeered their audience. The setting was beautiful, an outdoor amphitheater clad in mists that drifted in from San Francisco Bay; on a raised platform at the back of the stage were Bridge School students and alumni, young people confined to their wheel chairs by Cerebral Palsy (among them was Neil and Peggy Young's son) and attended by their doting parents - truly a striking and moving tableau. It rained off and on throughout the concert and that seemed fitting somehow. To read the remainder of the review click here.

On the Beach was finally released on CD and for good reason. I loved when Neil sat in with R.E.M. at one of the Bridge School benefits and they covered Ambulance Blues. What's your take on Neil's more recent output?

A couple of oldies I own on vinyl that I finally purchased on CD. The first one hasn't actually even been available on CD until just recently. It's probably been 20+ years since I last listened to either one of these.

Watched recent episodes of Letterman, Two And A Half Men and The Simpsons last night, all through my computer via the programs' respective websites. The price of cable is through the roof so these days I just pay for a broadband internet connection and watch everything through my computer. $35 a month sure beats the hell out of $70 a month or whatever is they're gouging folks for these days.

Which makes me wonder why there was never a similar outrage over the use of CB radios back in the 70s. My guess is, it requires more attention when holding a cellphone conversation. So much so, that the person(s) involved in the conversation become so immersed in it as to become completely oblivious to everything else going on around them. The bigger question is, how on earth will the laws against cellphone use ever be enforced? There's no question that it's out of hand. I see people swerving, running stoplights, etc. all of the time. It's fucking scary.

Nickelback doesn't even enter the picture when considering Canada's greatest musical exports especially when you have folks like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell to contend with. As for Pamela Anderson, the photo below is proof positive that she should have left well enough alone when it came to plastic surgery. She looked fine to start with. Now, she's looks like a fucking mutant. Someone may find that attractive but I sure as hell don't.

An oldie but a goodie. I can remember when these guys were new but due to the immense popularity of the similar sounding Black Crowes, the Quireboys quickly fell to the wayside (at least in the U.S.).

I enjoyed the movie for whatever that's worth as it wasn't really your typical popcorn munchin' kind of a flick. Though I can't say I really sympathise with him, I found Zuckerberg to be a very sad character seeking acceptance through Facebook. Nothing really to do with the movie at all but it's nice to remember what it was like before the internet and how we used to spend our time then. I can't count the number of times a day I see people glued to their phones. Not answering calls but constantly checking them, for what, I'm not sure but is it really that important to pull your phone out of your pocket during the middle of a conversation just to check messages? Not long ago I met up with a college friend that I hadn't seen since, well, college. During our meetup he must have logged onto FB at least six or seven times. Someone I hadn't seen in nearly 30 years and our face to face meeting is usurped by the availability of the internet. That's beyond fucked up and a chief reason why I prefer to spend less and less time online these days and get back to how I spent my time pre-internet. Unless your job is somehow tied into it (and who's isn't these days?), I don't think it's a necessity. If it is, someone's priorities have become horribly, horribly screwed up.

Can't say these are necessarily "favorites" but if I'm not mistaken, they're songs that haven't been mentioned yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKmVFB3bcZM
