My wife "gets him" too! We've seen the Cookers a lot and she always enjoys the show, especially Billy.
I've been seeing him and getting his albums since I first saw him with Max in the late 70s. Never disappointed!
I like the set a lot, too. You don't see very much discussion about it, surprisingly.
I haven't listened to it in a while. Might do that this weekend. Thanks for the reminder!
I was supposed to see Alex in 2010 at the ill-fated SXSW Big Star tribute show. Sadly, he died the day before and it became an Alex Chilton memorial show.
