This is a better Replacements song than anything Westerberg has written in a long time:

Two great live versions of the song.

From '79. Sting with his best high-pitched vocals. Andy has a great fuzz tone on the guitar here.

An amazing all-around performance with superb finale and bass playing by Sting. The crowd goes wild with Stewart's introduction.

Devastating.

Not a fan of jam bands, but this psychedelic bluegrass folk with Neu!/Can percussion is something else:

Heard this on Faction Punk yesterday on a family road trip to Indiana.

JORR here's one you might want to cover.

Speaking of Faction Punk bands, I have been listening to Teenage Bottle Rocket quite a bit lately. You can find a lot of their shows on YouTube.

A friend's band just signed up to open for them on tour...then they found out that the singer from teenage bottlerocket has some pretty serious rape allegations against him and it's kind of a mess.

_________________

They have two guys that sing but Ray Carlisle is their main singer I believe. Just looked it up and found a bit about it. Yeah, seems pretty messy and it is Ray Carlisle. Hmmm...

Listening to Jude Cole's newest albums, both released in 2021. Coupe de Main is mostly new originals and the other Coolerator is covers of 1950's/60's songs.

I started the day off with "Marquee Moon".

Just ridiculously good.

Hadn't heard that album before...I like it!

Man....how did I miss all this teenage bottlerocket talk!! I had tickets to see them on Easter in 2020 but of course it got cancelled. They absolutely shred. Ray always seemed pretty cool from his interviews however half of those interviews were about his bro dying. They were coming to Milwaukee again but to a weird spot with a mask mandate so i didn't get tickets and then they ended up not even playing that show.

What was the opening band that had to cancel? I love anything and everything that sounds like TBR and am always looking for new (to me) bands to listen to.

Maybe a ‘complain about something’ comment but that thread’s gotten super serial in the past 24 hours.

I really dig their new song Ghost Story. Didn’t like it at first because it was a bit different than their normal stuff. But after hearing it a few times, I really like it.

Your friend’s band?

Im friends with the drummer. He and my wife were in a side project band with a couple other friends.

I came across today this Who Concert from Amsterdam '69. Best quality I ever heard and amazing performance.

This was in early September after Woodstock.

Zeppelin had nothing on the Who in 1969. Miles ahead of everyone except Hendrix. That's why they could see for miles .

Entwistle and Moon were beasts. "See Me, Feel Me" rocks in this show. It's after "I'm Free.", starting at 1:04.

Be prepared to have your ears blasted.

Zeppelin never had anything on the who
