    I just got the live album "Big Time"

    if any of you waits fans dont have this yet, run out and grab it right now. It's incredible. the "Cold Cold Ground" on there is one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard.

    "Falling Down" is also incredible.

    I really wish the video was still in print. If anyone knows where to find one at a decent price, let me know.

    ifc shows it every so often. the movie is different than the album. pretty sure he still hasn't released it on dvd.

    a lot of the frank's wild years material really comes to life on big time. cold cold ground, telephone call from istanbul and especially train song. train song and falling down from the album are both sung in my favorite of his voices. i can't get enough of that sound. that boom. its like he's got the lungs of god.
