Day 24: The Beat Farmers November 1990, The Barn at UC Riverside - The Beat Farmers were led by the late, great Country Dick Montana who died onstage in 1995. One of the best bar bands I’ve seen. Play something by someone who leaves it all on stage. I've never seen a Nick Cave show where he...

Day 23: Björk / Interpol / Jesus & Mary Chain / Arctic Monkeys / Gillian Welch & David Rawlings / Noisettes April 2007, Coachella – Play someone you saw at a festival, or someone who you would have headline your dream festival. For a few years, I was part of a crew that taped every show at the...

One of my Top 5 bands ever. But I think most everyone here already knows that. The thing about The Jesus And Mary Chain most folks don't get - they never made the same record twice. This is a band that tends to be defined by many based on one particular release. While their catalog is very...

Happy birthday Keith Relf. Keith was tragically electrocuted at age 33 playing an improperly grounded electric guitar. The Yardbirds - The Single Hits

Day 22: Grateful Dead December 1989, Great Western Forum – Hearing the Dead bust out Help On The Way --> Slipknot! --> Franklin’s Tower to start the second set was a surprise in the best possible way. Play a rarity, or something that would blow you away if you heard it live. Got the double...

Day 21: Yngwie Malmsteen May 2019, House of Blues– Went with a friend who wanted to see some shredding. Fully enjoyed the experience. Play something with a shredding guitar solo. When I need shredding, I often turn to Lord Mascis for fulfillment. He never let's me down. This was billed as a...

Day 20: L.A.M.F. / Jessie Malin December 2017, Belly Up Tavern – Play a ‘supergroup’ or an artist that’s also been part of a larger group. I saw this tour in 1995 and, depending on your musical circle, I'd consider this a supergroup of the time... MIke Watt - B/V Eddie Vedder - G/V Pat Smear -...

Day 19: Flying Lotus / Brandon Coleman / Salami Rose Joe Lewis September 2019, House of Blues – Play something with an electronic or futuristic edge. Here's another one I recorded at the trusty 13.13 Club. Went to see my guys The Jesus And Mary Chain here in 1990. There was a little opening...

And the other sad truth - most of those pedestrian pressings were flatter, quieter and had better sound quality than a lot of the limited, numbered, 180 gram garbage the industry is pawning off at $35 a pop today. The music matters.

Wilco - Kicking Television Live In Chicago

Day 18: Madness / Fishbone / Pandoras May 1986, Hollywood Palladium – Don’t remember a whole lot of this night, other than there was a lot of energy and dancing. Play some Reggae / Ska or something worthy of a Party At Ground Zero. Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad is one of those bands that melds...

The VMD Free Record Of The Month for March so you know it's legit... https://www.needlesandgrooves.com/threads/vinyl-me-d-a-free-record-club-year-3-official-thread-36-winners-like-the-first-post-youre-in-for-2025-150-free-records-given-away-so-far.2645/post-924691

@avecigrec - your Power Trip showed up today. Should have it on its way along with your Emmylou Harris by end of the week. I'll forward tracking.

A band that makes Guided By Voices sound like Yes.

Day 17: The Pogues October 2009, House of Blues – Play an artist who speaks to you with their lyrics or delivery. I got a few core musical guys. Neil Young is one of those guys. I taped this show in 1991. It's a Top 5 show ever for me. Social Distortion and Sonic Youth opened. This happened...

I see the box set is being christened. Cheers! Looking at the setlist and saw the restart on Halfway. For the life of me, I don't understand why they insist on playing that song every show. There are much better choices in the catalog. Even on Automatic, there are better choices.

Day 16: Drive~By Truckers May 2010, House of Blues – Play something by an artist you wish you could have seen. I can only imagine how unpredictable and exciting it would've been to see The Doors. The Doors played their last shows late in 1970. A recording exists of their 12-11-70 Dallas show...

Their most famous song. Pretty perfect...

@Nee Lewman - I know you're into some occasional bluegrass. You may have heard Del McCoury's version of this Richard Thompson song...
