Anybody going? I'm planning on attending at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. I'm sure it will be a great show, and fulfill my pleasure in seeing this band at least one time each decade, for the past 5 decades!!!!

I don't know if it's still running on NPR, but I listened to the release several times.
My opinion....weak at best. There's a couple of good tunes on it, but I was less than enthused to pick it up....

I'm a pretty big TPHB fan, so this is somewhat of a letdown...

What are your thoughts?

There will NEVER be another like him.

Quite the legacy he left behind, at our ears disposal any time we feel the need to listen...

Sad that there is one less living piece of the puzzle we call Fab....

My personal favorite is Forgotten Man...Great track...

Overall, an album that grows on you. Initial listening experience brought "tame" reviews. It's in constant rotation now, and has some stellar lead playing by Mike Campbell on every track...
The vinyl version is in my future....

The full album has been released for review on NPR..

Have a listen. I'm enjoying it now!

First track premiered: American Dream Plan B

Arnquist is a master...he made over my 360-12v64 as well. Dressed the frets (left the fretboard alone though), unwound the pick ups, rewired the controls, cut and installed a new nut, added a 12 string bridge, including reshaping the saddles and trimming the saddle springs as necessary, r&r the ...

My 180 gram vinyl is on it's way...I'll provide a track by track review when I have a chance.

So, Benmont has a new release coming out in February...anyone have any insight into it yet?
Sounds as though it will be a great release...

I don't believe the phenomenon of owning more than one Rickenbacker holds true to just Rickenbackers.... I own: 3 Rickenbackers 3 Fenders 2 Martins 4 Gibsons ...and one Framus.... Outside of the Rickenbackers, those other makers bring a variey of tones to the mix. Rickenbackers are not tonally diver...

Sorry I don't have any pictures to post, but I generally use the same amps for my RM1997 and my V64-12. I'm very blessed to have a few to choose from, but try to give them equal time.....

I have viewed the documentary Good Ol' Freda....It's a great view. Very poignant. there's not a lot of new information in this film, however, it was fantastic to hear a first hand account from a woman who worked for/with The Beatles the entirety of their career together. I expect it will be out on d...
