This Neil Young song is endless!
Imagine hearing it twice in the same night!
Why the hell would they play the same setlist twice???  Weird.

While I respect Neil Young as an artist, he has a tendency to drag down these sets. I expect a little sugar in my 10@10.

WOS to the "no jack kennedy" news Katrina. It was a non-sequitur anyway (response was about how much experience he had, not claiming he is Jack Kennedy or has similar policies). We're all the worse for zingers replacing substantive discussion.

yeah, maybe Bensen was guilty of fallacious reasoning there, but Quayle was, too.  

Last night at the SF Int' Film Festival they had a program that used films and live musical accompaniment of Leonard Cohen's music, done by several acts, one of whom was Kelley Stoltz.  Alas, I didn't go, too tired, but I bet it was purty good.

I'm inches away from an FB-post relating this, but I can only imagine that a 2010 set's Katrina will be somebody saying "It's Torture Baseball". Enough already!

No idea.  My theories included "they only knew 8 songs so they had to repeat 'em" and "they were recording it for something and wanted to have multiple takes so they could pick and choose the best tracks". It didn't matter -- I was pissed.

Off topic, but I love reading that with the British interpretation of that last sentence (pissed = drunk). Totally changes the meaning.  :)

The Neil Young song was over 6 minutes long.  Teen Age Riot by Sonic Youth is just as long and I would've much preferred hearing it.  Just sayin'.

Just heard "Teenage Riot" on my iPOD, along with just about every other Sonic Youth tune. Very enjoyable. Now onto Rick Springfield!

BOS B.A.D.  Can't wait to see them at Outside Lands this year!!!  Last time I saw them was in '91.  

NTM, but BOSFRA.

I always liked this Ziggy Marley song.  Yowza, he sounds like his father.  VHM


Anybody doing a Jamaican accent sounds like Bob Marley. (cue "Dreadlock Holiday"

Sorry, but except for the Bangles and Brian Wilson tunes, this has to be one of the most Moreytrina-laden sets AL has ever done. Were there any interesting requests made?

(BTW, I'd post the list but I haven't figured out how to cut & paste without a mouse)

Put your cursor at the beginning of the text you want to copy, click there, then hold the shift key and use the arrow keys to highlight the whole block. Use ctrl-C to copy it, then move the cursor and click wherever you want to place the text, and ctrl-V will paste. Done and done.

I saw a Bluenotes show during that same period at the long-gone Omni in Oakland. Same M.O. I think Neil wanted to rehearse the band in front of a live audience before they recorded the Bluenotes album, and they only knew the songs that were on the record. One of the guys I went with was pretty PO'd as well, and insisted we leave early too. Since he was driving, we left.
