  1. Well good luck to you. I am betting against Pyro. I like Colonel John and Big Brown. If either wins, I win. Enjoy! This is a day that I always look forward to.

    Wow! You guessed her Chester! How much did you win? :D

  2. Anybody have some good pain pills in here? My back is ........Bad.

    If you find some, would you mind sharing? I'm not in pain but would love the euphoria. :)

  3. I must have always been misinformed as I thought Gaines played the slide guitar on "Free Bird"?? Guess not. Just imagine what they may have accomplished if not for one terrible day.

    Steve Gaines was not in the original lineup of Lynyrd Skynryd. He joined after Ed King left in '76 or so and joined after LS's fourth album '76-'77 sometime. His sister was a backup singer, Cassie, and it was quite the surprise for them to go through auditions and then "discover" Steve, her brother.

    Freebird preceeded Gaines by about 4 years.

    3-CD Set

    From the group’s pre-fab inception, The Monkees’ albums were the brainchild music industry veteran Don Kirshner. The Monkees started out being actors playing the parts of musicians singing songs written by and selected for them by others. They supplied the singing voices to music performed by session players.

    In 1967, this changed. After a series of creative tug-of-wars, Kirshner was out of the picture and Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz were -for the first time ever- given creative control over the making of a Monkees album. They now found themselves at RCA Studio C in Hollywood as a working band, just as they had always been on the small screen. And the album they were about to create, Headquarters, would be released on May 20, 1967; a month later it would hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and remain in the Top Ten for almost three months.

    The Monkees Headquarters Sessions is an 84-track 3-CD set which contains 60 previously unreleased recordings and which also includes the complete original mono mixes of the album on compact disc for the first time anywhere. Researched and compiled by longtime Monkee maniacs Andrew Sandoval and Bill Inglot, Headquarters Sessions collects almost four hours of unique audio insight into the recording of this Monkee milestone. It includes almost three-and-one-half-hours of alternate takes, demos, backing tracks, and recording session audio hijinx never before preserved on compact disc.

    It's fascinating. :)

  5. Sweet! :thumbsup:

    ..and only $25?! Wow!

    It's because it's a "warmup" gig. Fairly informal and intimate. Fripp is very casual and will engage with fans and even laugh and smile! :lol: All tix are the same price and it's first come, first serve for the best seats. Needless to say I'll get the best seat as I always go to the venue's about 3 hours prior to doors and shoot the breeze with all the arriving fans.

    That's what I did last night and I got right under Kim Gordon EXACTLY where I wanted to be for Sonic Youth. Those tickets were also only $25.
