  1. Oh, and there's this. That look at 1:35, shit...
  2. The highlights CD is now up on Spotify. Checking out Shine On from Knebworth '90, goddamn it sounds good. Still have that concert on an old vhs tape somewhere...
  3. NSIAP, but the shitty Johnny Rotten Jr. shilling "TACOS!" makes me wish the real JR would show up and smash this fuck's face in with a mic stand...
  4. Every accusation a confession... To paraphrase Randy Newman, "Well he may be a n..... but he's our n......"
  5. I just found this channel last week, linked from another message board to his "What Makes This Song So Great" for xtc's "Mayor of Simpleton". I agree, this is crack, have been binging all afternoon. I like the music theory videos, gonna send those to my son, been trying to teach him some classic country songs, and he doesn't get it when I just tell him I, IV, V, II, etc....
  6. Seger - You'll Accomp'ny Me Who - Behind Blue Eyes EWF - Shining Star Zep - Levee Gabriel - No Self Control Anybody want to tackle Neil Young? My personal favorite is Like a Hurricane, but Tonight's the Night is a better song.
  7. I can't choose between these two, they're both filled with such melancholy and sadness. Brian was at his absolute peak, and both are a singular vision, not cobbled together from different sessions and ideas like "Good Vibrations" (as great as it is...).
  8. The follow up pictures really show how close my wife was...
  9. This is not my video, but we saw these two kids yesterday who were videoing, this is the crossing we were at at 0:59, you see me and my bald head after the train goes by, and you can see my wife on the edge of the bridge and then walk up on the track after the train passes...
  10. We then headed up to Jewett - wow, I guarantee there were probably about 3 times the population of the town showed up. It was actually a lot of fun, they were handing out train whistles to all the kids, there was a guy with a guitar who set up a PA and was playing train songs, "Folsom Prison Blues" etc, it was like a festival. The first pic kind of sums up Jewett, it was really cool watching Big Boy roll in, I have some video I'll try to upload in the next few days, but it was fun. Was glad to see the George Bush 4141 as well, that was cool.
  11. Caveat - these pictures are nowhere near as cool as Swayze's, et al... But had a great time yesterday. Headed out early from Taylor and stopped just west of Hearne off of hwy 50, found a little road with about 10 people there. My crazy wife walked down the track and positioned herself right on the edge of a bridge, literally about 5 feet from the track, either that or all the way down the grade. With a bad knee, she stayed put. I was trying to signal her to move, but she didn't.. She admitted she was pretty damn scared. I used to hop trains when I was a kid and have been stuck that close to moving trains before, it's not fun.. But she did get some good pics.
  12. Got a few extra bucks stored away? Gerald Scarfe on selling off his entire Pink Floyd archives
  13. That's UP 844. ETA: a couple of pics from 2012, the last time it came through Taylor, my wife took these while driving, I was still at work and missed it, goddammit.
  14. so, I was charged last week for my monthly tree-fiddy fee, but somehow I lost my tag..... @immamac? I see the same thing happened above...
  15. Well fuck, went to edit my post and realized I somehow lost my tree-fiddy membership, (which is weird because I was just charged last week...) anyway, what I was GOING to add, was: ETA: cool beans, just read that the George Bush locomotive 4141 will be part of the consist all the way up to Palestine, so I'll get to see that as well!
  16. Yeah, that's my plan. Gonna catch it first a few miles south of Hearne out in the country, moving, then drive up and wait for it to pull into Jewett, where it has a 30 min. stop, get some video and pics of it taking off, then zoom ahead and wait for it in Palestine.
  17. Also, I posted it up-thread, but use THIS LINK, it shows you the exact route Big Boy is taking (you can zoom in all the way to street level), and also shows where Big Boy is in real time.
  18. Just a reminder that Big Boy is now in Texas, currently at Sunset Station in San Antonio, and traveling from SA to Houston tomorrow. I'm gonna chase it from Hearne up to Palestine on Saturday. Big Iron!
