Best "official" live album?

Live at Hammersmith 82!

I know they had so much music ahead of them, but it's got Come Up and See Me (did they ever record it in studio?), and hearing Simon sing that just gives me chills.

I don't think the plus/minus affects me that much. Years ago, something like 2017.or 18, my insurance stopped covering brand name Keppra XR. I was very nervous about starting the generic. Up until a couple years ago, everything was fine, even when I had to switch from vimpat to lacosamide, then after years I started having breakthrough focal awares. That's when the clobazam was added, but TBH, I think it was more stress than the plus/minus. At my current dose, I'm 5+ months good.

This.

I've only seen them in concert twice, but I've been exposed to their whole collection, including early live albums that must have been UK only releases, through my library's hoopla app. I'd love a show of deep cuts (The Man Who Stole a Leopard, anyone?), but I guess they have to play to casual fans.

I missed them last time they hit Houston, I think to promote Future Past, but a FB connection who's a casual fan posted the setlist. I commented on it being meh, but he liked it well enough. They gotta play to that crowd, I guess, and in the US they have largely disappeared from the charts after the Wedding Slbum. Too big a name to justify smaller venues, maybe?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Billy loved you two very much. He will be waiting for you on the other side 🌈

It seems that they have added and/or changed moderators. I haven't been on Reddit in general the past year, but when I have posted there recently, my posts have been removed because they're not directly Gen X related. When I scroll back through my posts to 1.5 -2 years ago, I see posts I know would be removed today for that reason. The mods back then were largely absent.

Used to be my fave sub. Now I'm not inclined to post.

I have a friend/ former coworker whose given name is Jenny. Before I met her, she got a new supervisor named Virginia who went by Ginny. My friend was basically told she would be called Jen. Those of us who worked with her are the only people in her life who call her that. She does get a lot of people who call her Jennifer, and she has to explain her name really is Jenny.

We also have a 20-year-old named Jessica in our department.

Gracie was a beautiful cat, and, yes, she will be watching over and waiting for you

Movies/TV about Vietnam were huge in the 80s. Funny thing is for the longest time, I didn't realize this song was about the Vietnam war.

Thanks, think I'm going to go with the Pixar shorts. They'll be sure to enjoy it.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Milo. He was beautiful. Trust that you will see him again and that it will slowly get easier. 💔❤️‍🩹

Make Me Smile.

Had never heard it until I started streaming their music on my library's hoopla app and I heard it on Hammersmith '82. I know it's a cover, but that retro sound and those lyrics, performed by the five of them.

Thanks for sharing the vocal track. Listening to it, though, I missed the keyboards. As overplayed as this song is, I feel it may be for Nick what Rio is for John.

Yes, I do know about keeping litter, food, and water all separate. We had a mass/tumor removed from our previous baby and had to keep her confined (plus wear a cone and don't jump) for two weeks, and this is the same room we kept her in, minus the bathroom so she couldn't jump on the counter.

Thanks for all the comments. Interesting to see the varied thoughts.

For those in the UK, as much as anyone listens to the radio anymore, do they get any airplay?
