Just listened to St. Louis 2000. Great show. St. Louis is one of those places the band brings it every single time.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Today is that first day that looks and feels like winter. Overcast, chilly. Just a day to stay in and read a book.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
In the past I’ve been guilty of wishing for songs at shows instead of reveling in every one I got. I can’t imagine how much it’s changed but I have the feeling every song, set, show will be a revelation.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
It's interesting when I go back to shows I've been to, I find the ones that I was less than thrilled with afterwards always beat out those that I was full on in the moment. Goes back to yesterday, and just soaking up the opportunity.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Taylor Swift continues to fascinate and eviscerate.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
It's the first day that I can actually bump this link in a looooooooooooooong time! Do we have a date? No, no we don't. But we have a time frame! Whohoooo
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
And now we have a date for Earthling. Thanks for making November awesome.

"The Haves" is solid. One of those beautiful songs that sticks with you. I'm really looking forward to this album.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Springsteen's "No Nukes" concert came out yesterday and it's very very solid. Not that I thought it would be any different.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Adele gets a divorce and the entire world of vinyl suffers? I'm only joking, but not really.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
I wonder if the venues will change for the 2022 shows? May means you could gamble for outdoors in most all venues...
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Time to take stock in all we're thankful for. I suppose it's something we should do daily but it becomes something else around the holidays. I'm as guilty as anyone for bumping up my attention this time of year, when in reality we should focus on mindfulness year round.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.

I love seeing how many ISOs are going on. We’re getting there people!
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
I can't remember whether it was black Friday or small business Saturday but three years ago (?) Ten Club randomly dropped vault vinyl and other sold out items. I got like 3 Vaults and Sonic Evolution, now I look every year.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
I read U2 might do a 30 year Zoo TV tour and when I was a kid I would've loved this. I missed that tour, but now I'm much more down with seeing bands as they are now. I skipped the Joshua Tree tour and don't regret it. We will see how I feel. I didn't skip The River or The Wall and they were amazing. I'm just glad Pearl Jam are still going out with new music with a vengeance.

This morning Springsteen's "Candy's Room" came on and it's a song that has grown on me over the years. I heard it at hte first Springsteen show I saw in 03 and haven't since. I didn't like it then, and now I'd love to hear it. So many songs I have left a moment because it wasn't my thing. Same thing with "Tremor Christ" in 98 - probably never going to hear that one again. What we love is always changing.

Check out the Beastie Boys Story on Apple+. It's a phenomenal music doc, and done in an innovative way.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Listened to the Beastie Boys "Ill Communication" yesterday and damn that's a phenomenal album.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
I didn't think we'd get a Vedder show and what a treat! I love the random drops. I just hope my request goes through. Makes me feel this Apollo show is on the horizon.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Downloaded Billie Eilish yesterday. She's good. Very interesting. Not sure if it's my style but I get the appeal. I'm more so shocked that she has mass appeal - doesn't seem like music for the masses.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
I read an article all about Springsteen's "Backstreets" and it's always been my favorite Springsteen song. It's epic in sound and lyrics. When I first heard it in high school I was astonished that someone could make a song into a short story.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
There's a lot of scary negative news on a daily basis, probably more than I even tend to discover. Mostly because I've given up on news. But at least this time of year we get happy stories. Every news show should end with the positive.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
It's been awhile since I had an idea for long form writing but I came up with what I'm calling The Commuter Journals - about the music I listen to on my drive to and from work. It's loose but the plan is to do weekly pieces reflecting on the music I listened to.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Waiting for The Earthling tickets is a nice change of pace. If I get shut out, well that happens. But it's just nice to be waiting for something concrete.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
Got shut out for EV and the Earthlings...bummer but I've been lottery lucky so I can't complain. Excited for all that get to go. Just have to wait for the St. Louis show to get reschedule and maybe, just maybe a ticket to a certain show at the Apollo.
98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.
someone with a spare NYC 1 or 2 needs to hook up my man here ! ! ! !
Any new realizations... would have to wait... Til he had more time,... more time... Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye, To himself... I'll see you on the other side...
Too Kind. Not Earthlings. I'm still Apollo or broke. One day this thread will end and anone on this message board will say - thank God. I was tired of seeing that person's avatar every single day with something stupid written there. But I feel like it's been too long to quit now. I mean that private meet and greet with the band for my diligence would be an amazing consolation.
