  1. Starts today, will be curious to see how this works out.
  2. This looks pretty cool as well.. "Just given an airing at the Rodeo Screening Room in Los Angeles, California, on August 24th as part of the Telluride Film Festival, is a new documentary from celebrated photographer, creative director and filmmaker Anton Corbijn. Squaring The Circle: The Story Of Hipgnosis, which is 101 minutes long, tells the story of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey 'Po' Powell, the creative geniuses behind the iconic album art design studio, Hipgnosis, responsible for some of the most recognisable album covers of all time. They formed Hipgnosis in Cambridge during the ferment of the sixties and became rock royalty during the boom time of the seventies. They conjured into existence sights that no one had previously thought possible, produced visuals which popularised music that had previously been considered fringe, and were at the white-hot centre of the maddest, funniest and most creative era in the history of popular music. During this period, record companies didn’t dictate to acts like Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Paul McCartney what their LP covers should look like - Storm and Po did. They made money; they lost money. They did great things; they did silly things. They fell out bitterly; they made up. They never played a note, but they changed music. The film features brand new interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Graham Gouldman of 10cc, Noel Gallagher, and many more. As yet we don't have details of any upcoming screenings, or streaming possibilities, although we suspect such information will be available soon. In the meantime, here's a quick look at part of the documentary, with Storm, Po, David, Roger and Nick all talking about the cover to Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother:"
  3. Reminds me of Elvis and Hamburger James...

    Just dropped off, will give it a proper spin tomorrow when the wife is gone for the day.
  6. Sorry, yeah, I meant back in the band as far as me seeing him. He just bounces back and forth, he's got Rick's keys down. Can't make the ASOS show, y'all take lots of pics and video.
  7. Yes, that was unexpected. I wish I could have understood more of the words to "The Bar", both parts, I thought overall the vocals were pretty muddled and weak, not just Roger's but the others as well, the band sounded great though, glad to see Jon Carin back with Roger again. Imagine the stories he can tell playing with both Roger and Dave. Sheep was probably the highlight for me, although I also really enjoyed the whole 2nd side of Dark Side, was not expecting that (tried to avoid setlist talk this time around...). I thought for sure near the end when he said that he had to change guitars that he was going to do Mother, was not to be. My son told me he had seen the setlist and didn't want to disappoint me so he didn't say anything. It's OK, one of my favorites but I've seen Roger do it every previous time I've seen him. Gotta admit (I'm a little bit confused...), I was a little misty-eyed at the end, Roger and I both ain't getting no younger, probably will be the last time I get to see him live. Caught him on Pros and Cons and Radio KAOS here in Austin, and the The Wall in Dallas and here. Lots of good memories.
  8. Gift from my son, we were both pleasantly surprised how good the view was. I knew the basic layout of the stage, and he had about 3 different areas in mind when buying tickets, told him this spot (section 110) looked the best. Was really a good view, and overall cool crowd around us, old hippie next to us sharing his Garrison Brothers on the rocks (it was his birthday), and somebody right behind us blazing up (do the kids still say that), twas a good night.
  9. Read more (unless this some meme I’m too old for)
  10. This is Plant City, farther north than what you are looking for, but just as a bookmark for later when the storm gets closer (yes, I know, train nerd...)
  11. Good Times Roll - The Cars Let's Go - The Cars Immigrant Song - Zep Come Together - The Beatles Don't Stand So Close to Me - Police One of These Days - Pink Floyd Time of the Preacher - Willie Nelson
