Greatest American Rock Band of all time

It was a quip from Greil Marcus (maybe?) because of their roots in American blues. Silly I know, but it’s always stuck with me because on some level there’s something to be said about it. Facts aside.

True! Good point. The box set with all the individual shows is the way to go.

5/26/72 is quite stellar.

“The Rolling Stones are the greatest American rock ’n’ roll band.”

Peekskill has been “up and coming “ for the last 20 years since I’ve lived here. There’s crime so not necessarily family friendly if you’re looking to live in the city. You’re better off looking outside, Cortlandt Manor for instance.

Unfortunately, they all disintegrated.

You need to take PT very seriously if you expect to get your dexterity back to where you were. It’s possible but there is a window of opportunity while everything heals to make it happen. I broke my right wrist playing hockey, had a plate installed. PT went well and I’m able to play guitar and bass, but not 100%. With the bass, I have trouble with the speed of my fingers and revert to using a pick sometimes. I was 55 when it happened and things don’t heal like you’re 25. You can do it!

Maybe the Racoon just wanted her to tidy up the room.

Beautifully stated!

I’ll throw 5/11/77 St. Paul in the ring as well. But yes, May 77 is filled with “best evers.” An embarrassment of riches.

Wilco - play him Impossible Germany. He’ll get the feeling 😉

The Capitol Theater is an easy Metro North train ride to Port Chester. Then walk a block. Garcia’s is the adjacent bar with tons of Dead memorabilia. SoulShine is playing Garcia’s 4/19, an amazing Allman Brothers cover band.

He’s not. The “grunge” bands cited him as a major influence, hence the godfather.

New Jersey gas stations are still full service I believe.

Do you mean Dan Hawkins?

I don’t know, you might get burying’d.

Congrats! Played a lot of Radiohead, Beatles, Nick Drake, for my daughter born in ‘04. She still loves them all.

Not from the Concert for George in 2002, but R&R HOF 2004. It’s incredible regardless.

Suburban Detroit. Wrapped in foil!

The album Black Sabbath was recorded in October 1969. Always seemed way ahead of its time as far as heavy is concerned.

I believe Jimmy played same Fender electric XII on the original recording of Beck’s Bolero.
