The Electric Light Orchestra in 'The Night The Light Went On In Long Beach'

Day 6: Rolling Stones February 2003, Staples Center – I’ve seen the Stones 2x, both for free. The first time was at the LA Coliseum when I worked security and got to stand right by the stage, and the second was this benefit for the NRDC, and was the first free show they played since Altamont...

Day 5: Social Distortion February 2001, 4th and B – This was the first time I saw Social Distortion after the death of founding member Dennis Dannell from a brain aneurysm at the way too young age of 38. Play something from a band with shifting lineups or that continued on after a founding...

Day 4: Prairie Home Companion November 1997, Fitzgerald Theater – Went to two Prairie Home Companion tapings when I lived in Minneapolis. This one featured the Nashville Bluegrass Band which featured Peter Rowan (who was in Old & In The Way with Jerry Garcia), and can be listened to here: March...

Day 3: The Samples, early 1990s at The Barn UC Riverside – Booked them to play the bar I worked at, my now-wife and I had so much fun that we followed them to Vegas the next day. They were big for a bit, and flamed out into varying resurrected iterations. Play an album from a band that has faded...

I really love this record. The LP was withdrawn after drummer Don Stevenson's bird was noticed on the cover, edited and rereleased. Skip Spence was a tragic genius cut from much the same cloth as Syd Barrett. His solo stuff and the OAR tribute are very good. An interesting overview...

Happy birthday @Nee Lewman !

Day 2: Chicago, November 1986 at Universal Amphitheater. This was during the very smooth Peter Cetera era Chicago, really went at my high school girlfriends behest. Play something from an artist whose sound has changed over time or that you'd take a date to. My wife has been my date for the...

Day 1: The Jacksons Victory Tour, December 1984 at Dodger Stadium. Play something by the first person you saw in concert My first show was this Elton John gig right here... https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/elton-john/1976/charlotte-coliseum-charlotte-nc-13d1e96d.html No ticket stub and this was...

Day 28 - National Pancake Day - I know we all own multiple records from many artists. Pick one artist and stack those bad boys up and play them all day. Good times @Matt M . Lou Reed

Day 27 - No Brainer Day - Play something relaxing. Grateful Dead - Reckoning

Day 26 - Letter To An Elder Day - Play something that you think your parents or an older friend would enjoy. Theloniius Monk - Alone In San Francisco

Happy birthday Brian Jones. I always felt Brian ended up kinda unjustly written out of Rolling Stones history. Part of that is due to their longevity, part due to the fertile output with Mick Taylor and part due to many newer fans (the last 40 years, haha) just not knowing the contribution of...

At least you can play yours - mine has Bob's signature on the shrink and I'm not crackin' that open. I need to track down an OG play copy...

I'd like to officially welcome you to the 15-60-75 Jimmy Bell's Still In Town original pressing club. As of now, to my knowledge, membership consists of - @avecigrec @Yer Ol' Uncle D Bob Kidney

I often wonder what John could've done if he hadn't left so soon. Tom is rarely outdone, but this one out-Waits Waits... Another blistering song from this record... John Campbell - Howlin Mercy

Another spontaneous moving pictures installment. Filmed this from the front row of the balcony at The Neighborhood Theatre 16 years ago. Posted it back in the day. Had no idea but literally just saw that the FREESOFREE Dino Jr. live music repository had uploaded the whole show to YouTube 12...
