I refer to Gug as “the kid”. 😁 26 minutes ago, Rico said: I got busted the same year for recording Lou Reed at Merriweather. They weren’t that nasty about it, they just kept my tape & told me I had to take the recorder back to the car. I was so bummed I ended up driving away. This is what I loved about The Dead. The encouraged tapers. Why we have access to so much of their live stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them two years ago, was really disapointed in his vocals. Gave him a second chance and went to another show, he was even worse. He just couldn't hit notes and would stop singing in the middle of a verse. Even he seemed bummed at times through his body language. The band was great, as always, but it really put a kabosh on the shows for me. Saw them at Tropicana Field for the Two Against Nature tour, I noticed it even back then. Still, I love the Dan and I'm good with youtube stuff here and there. 3 hours ago, Gugny said: I got busted taking pictures at a Rush show in 1987 (RPI Fieldhouse in Troy, NY - under 5K capacity). Security dude nearly ripped my arm off and said, "gimme the f*cking film!!" So I ripped the film out of my camera, purposely destroying it, and handed it over. Prick. You should have licked the film, Then handed it over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I'd get my cassette recorder into shows. Edited April 1, 2022 by Just Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the entire Aja album. I just saw Sparks yesterday and was blown away by them. Not just by Russell Mael's voice which is still great but the songwriting of Ron Mael. The man is a genius.
