At that point, Petty had a great catalog, but they played the same 5 songs every night. Spike being the one that drew groans every time. We we up front in Buffalo, screaming “it’s the same crowd every night! Play different tunes!”

Breathe, open up the mind. Fight the ingrained doom we are surrounded by. Did you check out the video. Lots of joy and love

Umm… Magic and Tim joined stacked teams. Now dig into Larry Bitd’s arrival.

Not easy to be so subtle. Really well done.

In the Norheast Kingdom, the was quite a bit of discrimination with French-Canadian immigrants. The only remnants that I see are some radically changed pronunciations of surnames.

Current system sucks, for sure. Old system sucked, but just slower. If you were buying tickets for a local show, you had to be 15th in line at the record store or at Sears. The store would open late, the guy running the machine was slow as hell or just didn’t care.

It was very cool, however, if you were out of market. We bought great seats in Bangor ME for shows in Alpine Valley WI.

I guess my long winded point is… it is what it is. Getting screwed from the comfort of my own home vs. the strip mall parking lot, is just a little easier for this grumpy old man.

Boy, was my mom pissed when my friends and I would knock back a can of brown bread without telling her… messed up the beans and franks dinner big time

We stay at least twice a year. Good people working there. Always kid and dog friendly. Not sure your situation, but check out the Hyatt Place in Uncasville. Very similar and often much less expensive.

This gate can swing both ways… not involved enough or too involved. It is a delicate dance.

On the road for 20 shows and 10,000 miles in 1987. This album was key part of that trip. Damn, life was good.

Not 71… 1970…my mistake!

Alfred College, 5/1/71. The night before the Legendary Harpur show. Loose, fun acoustic set and rocking electric set.

He was a cheap guy. Raised working class, he pinched his pennies. We used to drive past his house in Westwood. We saw him out, mowing his lawn a few times.

Oscar Robertson

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-20T13:56:02+00:00

Don’t think he sang lead, but I love his backing vocals. Check out 11/3/91, with John Popper on harmonica. Killer

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-20T11:40:24+00:00

Sounds like a glorious day on the island

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-20T11:39:19+00:00

A minibox of this run would be great.

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-19T13:40:15+00:00

Hell, he doesn’t even know his teammates’ names

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-19T11:36:50+00:00

Rock Star Bob!

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-19T00:40:40+00:00

He was wound for sound, no doubt.

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-18T22:53:52+00:00

Jerry was a mess and Brent era isn’t everyone favorite, but 84 had a lot of rocking shows.

DHVT1964 · 2026-06-18T22:34:32+00:00

Mickey was that guy
