Show Notes:
Finally, a bucket list show for the whackadoodle Alaskan. I have wanted to catch one of these gigs for many many years.

First and foremost, this show is an annual benefit by Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) to find a cure for Crohn's Disease/Colitis, and the monies raised go toward both that and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation - Northwest Chapter Camp Oasis For Kids and the Jennifer Jaff CareLine at Patient Advocate Foundation. This was the 15th Annual, spread over 2 nights.

Second, people did pitch in; a photo taken by Mike Savoia of last year's event and autographed by the band went for a cool $2000 (auction style, 1000 people, most of them drinking...which made for fun "are you waving, or are you bidding" banter). Between tickets and swag, I spent well over $200 [signed posters, limited edition (500) 45's, and a pretty cool t-shirt, there were raffle tickets, the really nifty silkscreen poster was $25; if you doubled that, the band would sign the poster for you. a very simple, smooth process (you'd sign in on a sheet before a certain time, pay, then get the poster on your way out].

Third, the show is a tribute to the band UFO...every year! I'm guessing that's why the encore had a theme (Thin Lizzy), an encore song played previous years (AC/DC), then a sincere, note-perfect (haha) version of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" to close the proceedings (just short of 110 minutes).

Fourth, this event also showcases Mikey's guitar prowess, with a bunch of his friends. There really are no words other than your earholes need this for food and sustenance.

If the solo during "Lights Out" doesn't win you over, I dunno what will...(I've played it five times in a row, and keep hearing "new" things)...or the wild, flourishing geetar-textures (sic) during "Rock Bottom", or the fat-as-fuck underlying rhythm riff during "Love To Love", or...

Fifth, Thunderpussy opened. For that, there is also no words. But there is a recording. with McCready sitting in for 2 songs. Stay tuned for that. ;)

If you like stellar lead guitar work, and a "party-jam" atmosphere, you will like this show.

'Nuff said.

He ain't no Doctor (Doctor), nor is he a too-hot-to-handle loser, but he is an uploading machine. Give Dennis some thanks for the ***ultra quick*** turnaround on this gem.  As it needs to be heard. (I've never seen a FTM show up on dime, or anywhere else for that matter...is there any out there?)

The vault is temporarily closed. The produce stand just got in a new shipment. Check it out...especially the evil peaches.

Announcement: "You Didn't Get This From Me" Soundboard/Pro Shot Megadrop from Port Chester, NY

 Once upon a time I would have grabbed everything and figured it out later. Grabbing Testament and that's about it.   https://www.guitars101.com/threads/you-didnt-get-this-from-me.843644/ Feel free to recommend something else but I can't even keep up with Bun E's Basement Bootlegs so not sure I even care about recent Cheap Trick.     Edited to add I didn't realize there was too much to fit in 1 post so I got the Iggy vid too.   Edited again to add: All gone but at least there's a big new music drop here tomorrow tho I am getting sick of writing info files and going to bed.

My Want List

it's been awhile, write to ijwthstd AT yahoo DOT com if you can help     **ETERNAL WANT LIST**  (Nothing added since Dec 25 post, just bumping to the top for new users) In this total media universe with everything at my fingertips, individual shows have taken on a lot less importance, however I still want to get my eyes and ears on these. This was copied off a much older list where I deleted several found titles so it's not impossible I'd say I have plenty to trade but I stopped withholding stuff for those purposes years ago. I can always offer up the super secret Mystery Drive list of my friend's rare masters (1971 to 2017) and pull something from there. Really one of the only things I am hoarding is that list only to preserve my sanity. Remember your hoarded recordings are only worth something while there are still people alive who care. Therapy? @ Whisky A Go Go Nov 1992  (this was recorded) Therapy @ The Roxy 5/4/96 (saw this on a list of Westwood One shows,...

The Who 2025 round up

The Who 2025 round up https://pixeldrain.com/l/pa6SQ88X I am just assuming I will be unable to attend the private show Oct 3rd but if you can ease the way anyhow, let me know. So chasing the possible last show ended up being a futile exercise after all. This is all pretty much a blur now but I will do my best. I am way too tired to proof read this. Lots of grueling travel. Might add more tomorrow  ** Night 1 For Joe Perry Project I stayed near my original seat way up high. There are already 2 other sources for this. I so wanted to see a headline show. Not really all that excited at the thought of more Aerosmith shows especially with Yungblud.  The Who - moved into E section around row 8, might be a little overloaded.  I might some day tell the excruciating saga of my extra ticket. Had 2 but my girlfriend couldn't go. She was already taking time off for Nine Inch Nails.m  For the 2nd night I bought a ticket for $34.50 at the box office after asking around for a few mi...
