That explains why I didn't get it either.   😛

Well just an FYI I’m one of the oldest guys here.  I refer to Gug as “the kid”. 😁

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.

If you have a chance, don't (unless it's really a bucket list thing).    Fagen can't sing anymore.     

 

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.

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.

They encouraged tapers because there was no way in hell you'd remember it if you were at the show.🤪

Agree. Band was top notch but Donald can't hit those high notes anymore. Saw them in Boston recently. 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.
