Speaking of the New Yorks Dolls....there's a very recent movie out entitled "New York Doll", a documentary Killer Kane's (the bassist for the Dolls) recent circumstances, leading up to an ending that even the producers could never have anticipated. For anyone into the Dolls, I would highly recommend...

Has it been that long? I guess it has. There's been so many archived releases, various one-offs for movie soundtracks or whatever that I still haven't been able to keep up (Masked and Anonymous with a terrific new version of Down in the Flood; Live 1975 with Rolling Thunder Revue (I think part of bo...

Very nicely done. Beautiful footage, so sad, melding perfectly with the music. Thank you very much for sharing this. Who is that man at the very end?

This is f*ing hilarious! I just spewed my coffee all over my keyboard reading this alleged AP story. While Tweedy is certainly known for practical jokes (see 9 minute recording of washing machine in AGIB track) and has been successful in pulling such jokes off in the past (see winning Grammy award f...

Some of these names are more along the Forgotten or Since Passed By or No Longer Acknowledged category rather than Underrated. I didn't go through the entire 9 pages, but just over the last couple of pages of this thread, I would say that Frank Zappa, Alvin Lee, Robbie Robertson, Jorma Kaukonen, Mik...

For a Son Volt connection, 1996's soundtrack for "Feeling Minnesota" includes Joe Henry's "Safe With Me". Achingly beautiful. (Son Volt does a cover of "Looking At the World Through a Windshield)".

I look at the dvd as a souvenir, something you couldn't have even imagined in years past. I mean to be able to have a visual reminder in addition to the audio reminder (live album) is amazing to me. I saw the band in a smaller venue, with the stage at a much lower height, Brad Rice on the guitar, so...

Thank you Son Volt for an excellent souvenir of this last tour. What a terrific two hours of live music. Though I was at the Tokyo show with Brad Rice, at a show 6 months after this one was shot, this dvd still captures the overall feel very well. The Asheville version of Tear Stained Eye may have e...

My earlier post: "Though why I am throwing this into the fire of a music message board is beyond my own self comprehension." I just realized it is Jay Farrar connected as the source is "Slate"!

It's $21 with shipping over here in Tokyo. I am hoping that Amazon's delivered it when I get home tonight. I, too, wondered why there wasn't any buzz about this pending moment. I referenced the dvd in another post...and then had to go back to the Son Volt home page to make certain I hadn't mixed thi...
