Goddamn Lonely Love from Shoals Theatre

So I was listening to this today for the 100th time. It dawned on me what Jason may have meant when he said - “they can play this song on the radio in Canada. They don’t but they can”

Did he say it because, like the immortal line from the movie Major League - “You can’t say Goddamn on the air”??? …. In the US, it’s basically sensored by the FCC?

Ravinia coolerBag/Beer question in Pavilion

Hello all,

I’m attending a show at Ravinia for the first time next week. I have pavilion seating for Alabama Shakes. I understand it’s BYOB and you can picnic in the lawn. I also read it said no food in the pavilion.

My question is, if I brought my own beer and food and ate the food in the lawn, could I bring my soft cooler bag and beers into the pavilion once the band begins to play? I’m taking the train and I’d hate to get my cooler bag confiscated.

Deep cuts I’d love to hear in Chicago

I’m going both nights in Chicago. This will be shows 11&12 of Jack solo for me. Also seen The White Stripes 3X and The Raconteurs 2X

I know some of these probably haven’t ever been played live, and some are rare but I’d love to hear him bust out:

- Shedding My Velvet

- On and On and On

- Take Me With You When You Go

- Everything You’ve Ever Learned

- Blue Veins

- You Don’t Understand Me

- Apple Blossom

- Do

- Catch Hell Blues

- Little Cream Soda

Got a big pop, playing Poster Child tonight.

I am in a weekly poker game, and we go around the table as the game goes on, taking turns calling out songs. Tonight I chose Poster Child, and got tons of positive feedback, many hadn’t heard it.

If you got to make a setlist

I was having this discussion with a friend about the shows we have seen and songs we have and have not gotten live so far, and what songs we want to hear. And what songs you would pick.

If it was up to me, and The Band handed me a blank piece of paper and said make the set list for tonight, I’d keep it simple and ask them to:

Play Release as the opener

Play Momma-Son trilogy as main set closer

Play Leash(still haven’t heard it)

Go heavy on Yield.

And do whatever you want besides that!

Im winding down my stay at Death Valley. I spent one night at Joshua Tree and two here.

I really enjoyed both. The weather was perfect in Joshua Tree, so I was able to hit 3 hikes during the day and go back at night for sunset and stars. The moon has been bright all week, so there was that to contend with for stargazing.

Death Valley is hot, not unbearable, but I mostly drove during the day and checked out the main sites. Nothing strenuous at all. But I got to see a lot of amazing stuff. This place is epic!

One thing I misjudged, is the need for a 4x4 or high clearance car. These stops have been part of a longer trip in which I rented a vehicle. I requested a 4Runner thinking a lot of stuff you needed that for, plus any overlanding I’d want to do. They gave me a Jeep Cherokee L(L for too long!) which sucked for driving in LA and SD in parking spots and traffic. I could have saved a ton on gas, had a more nimble car in the cities, if I had just gotten a sedan. So that’s a lesson I would like to pass on to any other first timers. You can hit about all the main/popular sites in both parks easily with a small sedan.

Hello all,

I have someone who requested some alien merch after she saw my post rolling through Alien Jerky in Baker. I’m driving into Vegas from Death Valley and was wondering if there was anything cool en route I could stop at? Without diverting too far off path.

Thanks in advance.
