Show Notes: 
This was the final show of probably my favorite night ever at Beale. ZZ Top didn't hit the stage until late, it was on the banks of the Mississippi, and they really brought it this show. The Tascam internals deck easily outperformed the Edirol > Sonic Studios, so the Tascam with the internals is what you get here. A nice full spectrum, combined with a sweet, "open air" sound makes this a must-have for Top fans, even with the stagnant setlist. I saw these guys in '97, and the first word that came to mind (especially for Mr. Beard, the drummer) was *lazy*. We all know people like that, but this show was a pleasant surprise.  The wind had died down, the temperatures, while slightly cool, were still comfortable. It was just a great cap to a day that featured Star & Micey, Heartless Bastards, Patti Smith, Dwight Yoakam, The Black Keys...and finally, presented here, ZZ Top

I found a spot near the back of the shoulder-to-shoulder people, and let the vidcam and audio decks rip. I was actually impressed with ZZ's sound this show - while polished, it was still gritty. And that damn bass (check out that bass tone on  "Sharp Dressed Man").

Pictures are included (they're vidcam screenshots taken on the fly - the last blurry pic is of the rave they had going until 2 AM with Porter Robinson), a video clip (I filmed the whole show) is here:

He's at the top of the heap as far as I'm concerned; his name is Dennis, and it seems that whatever I throw his way seems to stick. Be sure to thank him for his efforts.

A simple "fuck you Steve" for me will suffice.

As always, more to come....

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...
