When I saw Neil Young on his acoustic Harvest Moon tour, James opened. I mean they were good, but it was an odd pairing.

I saw Seal open for the Rolling Stones many years ago and he was just about booed off the stage. I actually thought he was great!

I saw Seal as a headliner, and he was fantastic. Tony Levin was on bass and whatever other weird bass-like instruments he plays, I think David Rhodes played guitar too.

My son's due date was during the Lorde/RTJ tour. My wife would not have forgiven me if I had bought tickets and she then went into labor...
I should have just risked it because he was two days late.

I've gotta say, seeing you all looking after each other with the extra copies of RTJ has been making my day, and making me super glad to have joined this community.

That's tradition for Stones openers.

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan open for Huey Lewis and the News. That was a really odd pairing to me.

He's amazing and a consummate professional who fits like a glove with almost any band/act. I first saw him on the "Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe" tour (summer of 1989; I'm old) and was super skeptical that anyone could fill Chris Squier's monstrous shoes. While Squier and Levin are definitely different players, Levin held his own and then some. I've also seen him w/ King Crimson plenty, Peter Gabriel, California Guitar Trio, B.L.U.E., and a few other acts.

Oh yeah, I listened to a podcast all about Prince opening for the Stones at Dodger Stadium

Yeah I was familiar with Levin from his work with Peter Gabriel, less so with King Crimson. I just remember sitting, seeing the band come out for Seal and instantly recognizing Levin with his unmistakable mustache and chrome dome, being super not only for Seal, but for him too, because I had no idea he was part of Seal’s touring band. He has the oddest instruments, even had that one with he plays with the extensions on his fingers.

The "odd" instrument is the Chapman Stick, which is indeed weird but super interesting and remarkably versatile, rhythmically and melodically: Stick Enterprises - Home of the Chapman Stick
The finger extensions are Funk Fingers, his own creation: Funk fingers - Wikipedia

no idea! i thought someone reached out to Nonesuch and they said it wasn't being repressed not too long ago. I have seen a few copies pop up here and there (I think target randomly got a few copies in stock a few weeks ago). I snagged both of these though. Been on my wantlist for awhile now and free shipping for both with plaidroom!

I used to play a Warr guitar (one time Chapman's main analog; although I believe Mark Warr has suffered some illness that's crippled the output). Not for the faint of heart. It was KC that vectored me toward these touch instruments.

These were going for stupid prices. I actually got one from Plaid Room not too long ago. I thought it was a one off. Looks like these got a much needed repress.restocks! llewyn davis OST and Another Day: Another Time:

Very very excited to get this one. Hopefully it comes out soon. The whole album is great and his cover of Clay Pigeons is just so damn good.

Hope it got a repress! I grabbed both in case it isn't since I love both. The OST was one of those that seemed to be in my cart at a bunch of different shops online for forever and I just never bought it. Then suddenly couldn't find it anywhere! Rewatched the movie recently and its so awesome.

I want that 7" but they wanna charge me $55 US shipping on a $13 US 7" up to Canada, which would mean after exchange I'm paying $85 for one song and an instrumental - YEEESH!
