    I Listened and I Heard Music in a Word

    Holy guacamole. Why did I not get this when it first came out? Kind of late to the party here, but sheesh, the Who's Next/Life House box is pretty darned incredibly awesome.

    Maybe I hesitated because, like everybody else who was alive in 1971, I've heard Who's Next about 789 billion times and figured maybe I didn't need yet another copy. Truth be told, the current remix doesn't add much.

    BUT the demos and outtakes are outstanding (for once). Early versions of Teenage Wasteland and some others from Who's Next are like entirely different songs. But still good! And in good sound.

    And then Life House. Some of the songs intended for the ill fated "opera" are better than songs that eventually made it to Who's Next. Which is saying something, because that album is pretty solid start to finish. Plus you get some singles from that period (The Seeker, Join Together) that I loved at the time. Plus two complete gigs. From a period where the Who were just ripping it up on state night after night. Plus not one but two coffee table books.

    This is what's commonly called some really good shit.

    Displaying the 30 Trips Scroll

    Hi all. I know this isn't the correct forum topic for this - but when I searched, I found that no one had posted in the "30 Trips Box Set and Digital" thread since 2017. Not sure if it's good form here at dead dot net to necro a thread, so...

    I'm wondering if anyone has framed or found a more economical way to display the scroll from the 30 Trips box set? Asking bc I just picked up a second such scroll for the specific purpose of doing this. I want to show it to the data science and graphic visualization students at the high school where I work. But I didn't realize how LONG this thing is! Looks like I'd have to order a custom frame.

    I know I could just reproduce it on the large-format color printer that we have... but I sorta want to show off the genuine article, not just for the edification of the students, but also for my own satisfaction! However, at first blush it's not going to be much cheaper to place it between two custom-cut pieces of acrylic (my first "low cost" idea) as it would be to bite the bullet and order a custom frame. So did anyone else go down this road/have any suggestions? Thank you all in advance, and sorry to hijack the thread.

    More on target: I am listening to "Pig's Boogie" from the 12/31/75 JGB show as I type this.

    Wonder if the arch breach is why I couldn’t get anything to play yesterday afternoon? Was on relisten not arch, but I thought shows were sourced from arch? I don’t have an account on arch so hopefully no worries there…

    Why would anyone want to mess with the archive? Idiots!

    Don't know if we'll ever see it released as a box. it will be expected to come with video? which I hear they don't want to release video. What's out already on vid is enough.

    Spectrum 89 would be nice box!

    10/6/84 saturday night
    went with 3 friends for a long weekend to VA
    2 friends swore-off GOGD concerts after that night
    so upset, so mad about the performance
    particularly the lead guitarist
    had to listen to them for the entire 6 hour ride home (lol as I write this)
    they wrote them off,
    and they NEVER returned
    those poor lost souls

    Peace for All!

I think that’s right lol
Didn’t get the best listing in, but enough to appreciate more of this consistent 1990 greatness!

Oh yeah, 12/4 before, so another DHB wee!

I haven't heard 5/26/72 all the way through for a long time

It'll be good to hear pre-hiatus GD again after 90% post-hiatus for the past year or so

Listening to Bob F. Dylan

Highway 61 Revisited

Mixed feelings on BD movie

Hollywoodization is something I don't generally like

Bob is awesome

Along with the beautiful Playing - which, 3/4 of the way through, I picture as shimmering sunlight on a lily pond, with a hummingbird or dragonfly flitting about then lifting off - followed by the crowd's spontaneous, stunned reaction (!)
Of course, we all know the heart of the thing (3rd & 4th disk selections) from the E72 album ... Overall, for me at least, it's hard not to put this show either at or near the very tippy top (surely a Himalayan peak, K2?) on the grand quality of the playing and total emotional commitment, as the closer of one of the greatest tours in their history, etc.

Slice of Life - Live Solo

Slowly getting the feast together. A world of wonders indeed.

Consisting of a playlist of eclectic, immature, inappropriate, unknown, off the cuff quirky, Fun and otherwise not yer mamas Xmass mix of albums, set to auto DJ.
Oh, and whatever holiday jazz albums we have too!
Jazz to the World and Oscar Peterson being in constant rotation lol

So “shake your Christmas butt, until the crabby goes away…”

But first, need to walk on down the old valley road (to make room for leftovers)
Hope y’all are having a safe and enjoyable holidaze!

I’m watching the ‘Beatles 64’ documentary. I particularly liked the guy who managed to get his seat from Shea Stadium when it was being demolished so that it complemented his ticket stub for the concert. That’s what you call obsessive.
