    now on K DED....apologies to Rhymin Simon....there he goes..... To the family and friends of Chris Squire..... Affirmative Sarge....Affirmative..... Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together I've got some real estate in my bag So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies And we walked off, walked off, walked off,to look for America Kathy, I said, as we boarded the greyhound in Pittsburgh Michigan seems like a dream to me now Took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw They've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America Laughing on the bus, playing games with faces She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said be careful, his bow tie is really a camera "Kathy, I'm lost", I said, although I knew she was sleeping I'm empty and aching and I don't know why I'm Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike And they've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America All gone to look for America Son of a bitch....now I miss Chris Squire too...

    Went to Saturday, streamed Sunday
    Saturday was great and very magical. Rainbows, sunsets and fireworks. Amazing! Sunday was also very good, had some trouble with the stream. I had to pause it for a while and as long as I was a few minutes behind the live feed it was good. Trey did a really good job I would have to say. Picking nits my complaints would be his solos sounded a little scripted and he is a tease. He builds up like he is gonna go off, then as soon as you think he is gonna break out, he backs off and brings it back down to the song. Not bad overall though, and he had some real brilliant moments during the jazz jams and bluesy numbers. I thought they sounded great as a group and pretty tight and clean considering the circumstances. It was so good it brought a tear to my eye a couple of times. I really enjoyed it and thought it was worth every penny. I found the negative comments below the jambase review to be completely unfounded. "Train wreck" and "just aweful" were terms that were used and it was not that way at all for me. Seems like some people made up their minds that it was gonna suck before going so it wouldn't matter how good they sounded; those peeps were gonna hate it anyway. Then why go?

Time after time I sit and I wait for your call I know I'm a fool but why can I say Whatever the price I'll pay for you, Madame Blue Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around But somehow you've changed, you're so far away I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass You're not a child anymore Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules You conquered the world and more ..............heaven's door America....America...America..America.. America....America...America..America.. America....America...America..America.. Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass You're not a child anymore Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past So lift up your heart, make a new start And lead us away from here

    let's bring it down a notch.... Memories of a lonely past A boat set into the wind Drifting lost in waters of doubt On a journey that has no end Torn and faded photographs A chestful of old goodbyes Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon Here on a river of fools Here on a river of fools A trio of angels holding candles of light Guide the ship to an unknown shore Sad soul riders with arms drawn tight As they stopped for just one more Fingers pointed to a star in the sky A message from someone they can't see Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon Here on a river of fools Here on a river of fools Traveling along a cloudy path With a wing, a heart, and a prayer Pieces fall from the heavens above To a place they know not where A string of beads in trembling hands Heading close to the judgement day Tear streaked faces by the light of the moon Here on a river of fools Here on a river of fools That's why Kyle had us all patch those sails and shine them rails.....thanks Totes.... Roadkill for vittles..... Supper is Ready.....

congrats to those who made it. too bad to those who did not. your own fault who didn't even try (me). but as others have said, a much higher percentage went to fans for these shows so whatever becomes available will probably be more reasonably priced. i still can't decide if i should/can have/make the time to go even if i could score a single. i sure hope this is the hardest decision i have to make this summer :)

Maybe it was meant to be. Think all the great shows going on in Chicago in addition to the 3 shows. Maybe just make a long weekend out of Chicago. I'm def throwing all my marbles at Chi town. I'm hitting the Rex benefit Thursday. Moe Saturday. The Jerry tribute show with Kimock, Greene, and Melvin Seals and company on Sunday afternoon. And I'm just getting started with other plans. I'm sure SC will be fun, but Chicago will be through the roof. He travels the fastest who travels alone

Who won the lottery! Brother Adam said it just right "feeling lucky and humbled. The lovelight is bright." That is exactly how it feels!! I am on the other side tonight - having gotten the regret email... I might just have to keep my SC hotel reservation and go see what I see... Don't want the back of the tshirt to be wrong!! Haha. My heart feels tender and smarts a little, but I have faith and will see you all soon! I just got home from work and have some catching up to do... gonna have a little snack and maybe watch a movie and breath first... Nightzzzzzz.

Given this theatre announcement, my guess is that Shapiro couldn't do a bigger deal with the cable and satellite providers for an in-home PPV. I would have thought that to be not only ideal for the fan and consumer, but a revenue jackpot for the band and Peter. Maybe that's coming...who knows. I will fork out for the boxed-set DVD in blu-ray when it comes out though :-)

Perhaps they are going for the group experience? That is only speculation, but I would rather go to a cinema with 500 people and awesome acoustics, than sit at home eating cheesies and beer...wait...beer, no, most cinemas sell beer now...thank you VIP cinemas!

Group experiences happen in the home as well and in a less restrictive and constrictive way.... Can't speak for your entertainment room, but my acoustics don't suck and I'm wired inside and out.... I would NEVER spend Independence Day at a movie theater... But I won't have to... And they could do both....

My acoustics SUCK - I don't even own a TV. I sold my turntable years ago to move to Europe (amp too) As for the group experience - definitely, but I am a loner in a sea of people asking why I even listen to a band that arguably died in the late 70's...I caught a lot of flack for saying I even wanted to go to a Dead concert. People don't get it and they look at you like you are crazy when you say something, so, finding a group that would start to emulate a concert experience...that would be tough (for me at least) And you sir, were one of the very lucky ones (of course you know this) - also my 'independence day' read Canada had already passed so - meh...

Possible that Theaters will announce advance ticket sales in order to assure sell out. Once this has been achieved then market can be reassessed to determine if home viewing is viable. Living 250 miles from the nearest theater that would even consider showing FTW, I have been down this exact same road many times.

T-Horse told me that if and when they offer Home PPV it's going to be by lottery too. This could be a real no hitter. If my luck is really this bad, how come I have a spam folder full of all the wealth I've inherited, sweepstakes I've won, and third world business opportunities I've been offered? If I had not procrastinated so much I would be as wealthy as Bill Gates, or even Shapiro. Then I could have acquired all the suites at both stadiums and miracle'd all the Sunshine Daydreamers with a VIP experience. My bad. Stupid Horse.
