    Hi Katyky.... Well I haven't seen the documentary but I do know he is owns a fish farm. :) I am not really sure if any other members of JT will be with him in Austin, it's billed as IA doing the songs of Jethro Tull so it does make me wonder. I have a "long lost" 1st cousin, actually I have yet to meet him, that lives in Austin. He is a professor of art at one of the universities there. We hooked up online via Facebook and found that we have many things in common, so he invited myself and my two sons over to Austin for the concert and bought our tickets!! Yay!!! It will be a very interesting night I'm sure. I have been a fan of JT for many years and I did catch the Rock Island tour some 20ish years back in New Orleans. I know no matter who will be there as his band it should prove to be a great show. Right now, I'm not listening to anything but the phones ringing as I am settling in for an overnight shift dispatching trucks. However once it gets closer to midnight and things slow down, I'll dig up some music to listen too... maybe some Tull! Peace! JT (my initials!!)

    I love that particular song cycle and, while I realize it is only visual background for the audio clip, I am still compelled to ask whether you own a vinyl copy? I possess the DG cd, which - happily - also contains Erlkoenig, An die Musik, and Heidenroeslein. While sitting here reading, I'm listening to renditions of Tchaikovsky's 6th symph. (11/24/47)) and the Nutcracker (11/19/51) performed by the NBC SO under Toscanini's critique-proof hands!/peace, kate

    While there is great variance among subjectively rated stand-out shows, 2/14 is one of those special performances around which community consensus coalesces. Phenomenal open-structured jamming; note particularly what is formally called the Spanish Jam out of Born Crossed-Eyed, as well as the free-reigned improvisational workout between Alligator and Caution, the latter preceding a Feedback for which renowned taper Michael Getz "urge[s] everyone to sit down and let this thing grab you by the collar" as "it feels like the universe has been turned inside out, revealing the band as mere mortal puppets all along". Noteworthily, Getz concludes by stating, "Serious listening to this show reveals such a sheer depth of soul-awakening power that it astonishes me to remember just how young a band they were at the time". Love to hear your thoughts! /k

    Hi ACH! Wow, I was just listening to TAAB while driving the puppies out to the lake for a swim early this a.m.! It may just be the deadhead in me, but I've really become enamored of that MSG '78 bonus version on my rerelease, as well as the live iteration from '77 on "Bursting Out" ... much like our beloved Dead, Tull seems to have thrived onstage. Yet, there is a discernible dearth of live material on the market, to include ROIOs, especially from early on. I'm envious of your pending concert experience; I've been reading interviews and watching documentaries while becoming increasingly impressed with IA's wit, intelligence, humor, and common sensibility. Have you seen "Fish & Sheep, RocknRoll" : IA as squire, entrepreneur, superstar, and husband! Question: Is he touring with any remnants of the band's early incarnations? In any event, I'll look forward to your review! Nothing novel to report on the listening front this a.m.; I've got disc 2 from #11 in for a third listen - what a 2nd set!/kate

Regions of Light and Sound of God I have this nagging feeling that My Morning Jacket is going to go all Radiohead on me. This album doesn't do much to allay that fear. The fact that I like the album isn't much help, since I also liked "OK Computer," but hated "Kid A" and everything after. Naahhh, it'll never happen. Will it?

I gotta say, gratefuldean, I've listened to several My Morning Jacket albums as well as Jim's solo record, and they don't do a thing for me. "Rolling Stone" raves and raves and RAVES about them, but I just don't hear what all the fuss is about. Sure, they're a very talented group of musicians, but their music feels very formulaic to me and not at all psychedelic. They must be one of those bands you gotta see live. Studio albums just don't seem to do them justice.

I gotta say, Parkas, I'm surprised that I like them, at least in a way. You're right, though, I got hooked seeing MMJ live before I ever heard an album. On the other hand, Circuital is one of my favorite albums of the past few years, so obviously once I "got" them, I "got" them.

Dark Star. Love this compilation and wish I'd taken the time to order the full ten disc set while it was first advertized. There is a confident rawness here that is just rising to maturity.

I find it slightly odd that I had a sudden urge to listen to QotSA yesterday, which just so happens to be the same day the band announced the release date of their new album, "...Like Clockwork." I also hate that I like this band so much, what with Josh Homme being such an a**hole and all that. I guess you just can't mess with genius sometimes. Anyway, yeah, I breezed through their self-titled debut yesterday (the recent re-release, anyway), am currently listening to "R," and will finish up with their best album to date, "Song for the Deaf." I used to have "Lullabies to Paralyze" and "Era Vulgaris," but they've gotten lost in the ether of crashed harddrives, never to be heard from again....

One of my favorite artists of all time, I just love his take on the blues. Got a bunch of his records on wax, which I recently converted to MP3s. Here's the playlist for today:- "Better Than the Rest" a.k.a. "Nadine" - S/T - "Move It on Over" (my favorite!) - "Bad to the Bone" - "Maverick" - "Live"

The Low Highway Nice! Lately I've been listening to "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Grateful Dead" in 20-30 minute chunks at bedtime. I have a way of neglecting the compilation releases sitting on the shelf, and it's been a while since I listened to this one. Reminds me why this is my favorite era of the Dead. Counting down to DaP6...what's the word on the bonus disc?

Listening to the LPs I was lucky enough to snag on Record Store Day this past Saturday. Sadly, I missed the 'Dead's release as well as the re-issue of Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play," but I did get some pretty great records! There are a few other special releases I picked up that I haven't opened yet, too, like "The Animals Is Here" and "The Animals Are Back" to name a few. Managed to get quite the haul this year!- "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" by David Bowie* - "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" by David Bowie - "Album" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - "Public Image" by Public Image Ltd. - "(The Night the Sky Cried) Tears of Fire/Farstar" by the Sword* - "Hammer of Heaven" by the Sword* - "The Madcap Cries" by Syd Barrett* - "The Only Way to Go Is Straight Through" by Thurston Moore and Loren Connors * non-Record Store Day releases

JJ Grey and Mofro -- This River Eric Burdon -- 'Til Your River Runs Dry Speaking of Eric Burdon, I also snagged one of those Animals RSD mono releases, sounded pretty nice. Also, Richard Thompson, Jason Isbell/Elizabeth Cook, Avett Bros/Randy Travis, Gary Clark Jr, Mike Cooley, Jimi Hendrix, all on vinyl (I think that I'm forgetting something here), and a pristine used vinyl copy of the Ramones "Rocket to Russia." But missed the Dead RSD release...

Oh, man, that new Eric Burdon record is AMAZING! I've loved the Animals since I was a kid and managed to snag both RSD 45s. But yeah, "'Til Your River Runs Dry" is a stunning album and definitely one of the best I've heard in the last year or so.

"Kids" from the band's debut EP, 'Time to Pretend'. An interesting release but nowhere near the level of 'Oracular Spectacular' or 'Congratulations'.
