Well I'm one of those complete show freaks so I'm a little bummed. That said, it's good to see they are ramping up the Vault releases again. Fall '79 has some good shows. I still think Brent was feeling his way around. But there is a certain amount of ENERGY to these performances that had been lacking in last year or so of the Keith & Donna era. My first Dead show was 11/8/79 - an OK show - definitely not as hot as the shows immediately preceding/following it. The Dancin'>Franklin's from 11/9 show is en fuego. I would have liked to have seen something from the 10/27 Cape Cod show. As one of the posters wrote, "weak sauce".

WTF??? How did they get to this point??? Here's a list of some famous alumni.... http://www.antioch-college.edu/Alumni/noteworthy/index.html

Thanks.

Up. I've been trying to Google a discography for Black Lion. Nada. Any suggestions? Edit: So what's the verdict on the sound quality between the arista/freedom vinyl vs. the original Black Lion vinyl(or CD re-issues)??? Is one label's version better than the other or is it a "case by case" basis? Or maybe the SQ sucks on both and I shouldn't worry about which version I pick up???

I just checked my email and i had the amounts wrong. I actually did better - bought it for $105 and sold it for $225. Ka-ching. :rsmile:

I bought Noah Howard's, "Black Ark" last January for $80 on Ebay. I found out a week later that it was being re-issued so I flipped it w/ a "buy it now" of $125. That was a nice little profit.

I just watched the parade and the chants to resign Lowell were unbelievable and the fans who came out and said he was their fave player . But i do agree with you Dan he will be 34 and he does tail off in the 2nd half (except this year). BUT the chants of DONT SIGN A-ROD was just as deafening at the Parade This could be a HARD sell to Sox fans .......i for one love A-Rod and think they should go for it , it will be very interesting he is not well liked here ! Why would you want to pay $30 Million a season to "Mr.April" ???? Especially after this play....

Happy Birthday. Today happens to be the birthday of a very good friend of mine. He is turning 41 too. Wacky

Well if you missed out on the Hendrix auction, you can always get on of these..... http://www.capnwacky.com/reviews/jimidoll.html

Congrats to the Red Sox and their fans.

Time share between the Greek Isles(I'm thinking Santorini or Crete) and the SF Bay area.

Saw the Kidd Jordan Trio last Sunday. Really amazing. He just got up and blew hard and free for 90 minutes. This Monday brings Burton Greene Trio with Burton Greene, piano; Ed Schuller, double-bass; and George Schuller, drums. Free show! :tup Thursday could be really something as well. Damo Suzuki (former lead vocalist of Can) is doing two shows. For the early show he will be backed up by Bardo Pond. For the second show he be paired w/ a local Philly band Stinking Lizaveta.

Me too. Beckett is lights out. Unfortunately for Red Sox Nation he can't pitch game 6 or 7.

Thanks for sharing. I would love to hear more about your time in Philly.

The only thing that might cool off the Rockies is a week long layoff. But I don't see anyone beating them the way they are playing right now. I'd like to see a Cleveland/Colorado WS and I think it will happen. However, I'm wondering if that match up would be a ratings disaster. I would really like to see the Indians win it all. When was the last time they won it, 1945???

Same thing happened to me when I was in college. And like Porcy says the feeling of being violated was worse than losing all of my stuff. That was something that I could never get over in that apartment. I finally had to move two months later. I would recommend getting an alarm system. I have ADT. It costs $40 a month but considering the peace of mind it provides it's worth it. Oh and we also have two killer Beagles that bark at any sound with in a 1/4 mile radius of our house.

Watching Borowski tonight reminded of just how close he came to being on the Phillies this season. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2680157 Now, why didn't they make Freddy Garcia take a physical before they forked over $10M ?? Huh, Pat?? WTF??

After tonight's game I wouldn't be surprised to see Cleveland close it out at home.

So here these Rockies are now, 19-1. And that just isn't possible. Is it? Not this time of year. Well, not to a baseball team, anyway. Let's try to give you some historical perspective on how insane this is: These Rockies have now become the first team in history to find itself in the middle of any postseason, riding a 19-1 streak that dates back into the regular season. The '27 Yankees never did that. The '36 Yankees never did that. The Big Red Machine never did that. The only team that even came close was the 1970 Orioles. But they never made it past 18-1 -- in part because they won the World Series before they got that chance. These Rockies have also become the first National League team in 30 years, and only the second in the last 44 years, to run off a 19-1 streak at any time of any year. Last to do it: the 1977 Phillies. But that's not all. These Rockies are now the first team in 30 years, the first National League team in 72 years and the fourth team ever to win 19 of 20 after Sept. 1. Last to do it in the NL, according to the Elias Sports Bureau: the 1935 Cubs. Last to do it, period: the 1977 Royals -- a team that called up a prospect named Clint Hurdle in the middle of that streak. The only other team in that late-season 19-1 Club: John McGraw's 1916 New York Giants. None of those other teams extended that 19-1 run into the postseason, though. So this is historic, historic stuff. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2007...&id=3061582

Bump. Chuck, sorry if I missed it - do you have an update for us on the CD release of "Nonaah" and/or "Saga of the Outlaws"?

Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to hearing this one.

D'backs fall, their fans fume By Todd Zolecki Inquirer Staff Writer PHOENIX - And people think Phillies fans can be bad. At least they show up. Despite claims that the Arizona Diamondbacks sold out Game 1 of the National League Championship Series last night at Chase Field - they had an announced crowd of 48,142 - empty rows of seats could be found everywhere in the upper deck. But some of the fans who showed up to watch Jeff Francis outpitch Brandon Webb turned nasty in the bottom of the seventh inning of their team's 5-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies after a correctly called interference play helped kill a Diamondbacks rally. The Diamondbacks had runners on first and second with no outs when Augie Ojeda hit a grounder to third baseman Garrett Atkins, who threw the ball to second baseman Kaz Matsui for the force-out. Matsui planned to throw to first for a potential double play, but Justin Upton slid hard into second base to break it up. Nothing wrong with that. But Upton turned his body and forced his elbow up and into Matsui to prevent any throw to first base. Second-base umpire Larry Vanover immediately called interference. So not only were there two outs instead of runners at the corners with one out, but Chris Snyder also had to return to second from third. Fans didn't like this. Understandably so. But then they started throwing bottles and other objects onto the field. Rockies manager Clint Hurdle pulled his players, and there was an eight-minute delay. "It looked like a good, aggressive slide going in, but it looked like he went out of his way to make contact," said Hurdle when asked about Upton's slide and the decision to pull the team. "We were tired of having water bottles thrown on the field. There comes a point in time where you have to make a point where enough is enough." Imagine if that had happened in Philadelphia. It would have been on CNN and everywhere else: Bloodthirsty Philly fans strike again. http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/200710..._fans_fume.html
