Gotta put in Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t You Hear Me Knockin \u00c2\u00a0and Tumblin Dice.<\/p>\n
Great tracks that represent some of the best the Stones put out. IMHO.<\/p>\n

I’d find space for “Tumbling Dice” and “Before They Make Me Run”, but then there are tons of songs from pre ’68 I’m probably missing as well. And come to think of it, how can “Street Fighting Man” not make this list?<\/p>\n

Paul Christie bass player in Sydney AUS. I have to say we are on the same page with The Stones set list, excellent!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
PS: I had Joe Walsh in my band in AUS in 1984, we were aptly named \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Party Boys\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 he stayed for a year, we made a live album & he went back to LA in good form in late \u00e2\u20ac\u212284 & Eagles got rolling again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stevie Ray also agreed to join The Party Boys but sadly got on that chopper after the gig in the snow, broke my heart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All the best for now, Paul<\/p>\n

MORE GIANT\/DANN HUFF<\/p>\n
Charlie Minor was promoting Giant. He worked them every way he could and was willing to do anything if I would recommend them. He did the same for other influencers. \u00c2\u00a0Then, \u00c2\u00a0I was at Lee Abrams at his house and he was writing a report for the record company about what the band needed to do to break through. We cranked the stereo and listened for that elusive hit that was sometimes buried in the middle of side 2. For a band that got so much passionate support from the label, I was surprised they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get more traction, at least for a while. But as Album Rock playlists tightened, they were never going to get that shot.<\/p>\n

I worked for many years with Dann. He produced \u00c2\u00a0hits for me and my co-writers. \u00c2\u00a0We also did one co production project together.<\/p>\n
Not only is he a huge talent but he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also a gentleman and someone who helped Nashville move beyond the good ole boys network.<\/p>\n

Very close with Bud Prager who asked me to see his new band at the Roxy. \u00c2\u00a0I got there early and there was this young kid by himself on stage doing comedy. I went back stage and signed him. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Pauly Shore before MTV

When I was a young kid (10-11 years old) I had a band that was managed by Bud Prager. \u00c2\u00a0Bud got us signed and thought of Dann to produce and write a few songs. \u00c2\u00a0This was in 1992 right when Giant\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s album Time to Burn was released. \u00c2\u00a0It was a mind blowing experience to say the least. \u00c2\u00a0But what I remember more than anything from those sessions was Dann\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kindness and patience. \u00c2\u00a0I remember hugging Dann and crying when the final session ended-working with him was an experience that changed my life. Thanks for bringing him up.<\/p>\n

Hey Bob,<\/p>\n
Just an FYI, Mads Mikkelsen wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the Russian President in House Of Cards, Lars Mikkelsen, his brother was, who coincidentally was in something you recommended that was very very good called Ride Upon The Storm.<\/p>\n
Have a good day.

RE: FEE WAYBILL<\/p>\n
Hello Bob,<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n
I just finished listening to your podcast with Fee Waybill.<\/p>\n
Like you, I am a big fan of the Tubes.\u00c2\u00a0 I was fortunate to see them the first time\u00c2\u00a0 when I was a student at Sonoma State in the way early \u00e2\u20ac\u212270\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. Their original second drummer, Bob, was still in the group. I had no idea what I was in for. I never experienced such a combination of incredible musicianship and humor\u00c2\u00a0 in a band.\u00c2\u00a0 Another memorable show was at a club called the Lion\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Share in San Rafael where they played two sets with a one hour intermission in which they\u00c2\u00a0 screened Pink Flamingos.\u00c2\u00a0 They are the only band that I continue to follow.\u00c2\u00a0 Even at $6.00 a gallon I plan to make the schlep in June from Santa Monica to Agoura to catch their current show.<\/p>\n
Thanks again,<\/p>\n

I so enjoyed hearing Fee discussing the history of the Tubes. I arrived in SF from Washington DC in the fall of 1973. The first show I attended was the Pointer Sisters performing a week of shows at the Boarding House. I went to see what the fuss was about. The Tubes were the opening act. I had never witnessed such a performance. I went back again & again & took my Nikon. In 1975 I was hired at A&M records which thrilled me even more. I don’t think I missed a Tubes show for years. People don’t realize how big they were in SF. 20-30 shows a month in some clubs. I went to them all. For a while, they might have been the best rock & roll band in the world. Never a bad performance. There are so many great stories here that it’s a shame Fee didn’t have time to discuss them. Michael Cotton is the historian for this band. He put together a massive documentary years ago with concert footage that everyone wants to see. Unfortunately, it will take a music lawyer to get the clearance that is needed. That may never happen for financial reasons. A shame. But Michael Cotton did produce a wonderful picture book just for the fans. The Tubes Live 1973-1979. Only available on Blurb.com as far as I know but a wonderful souvenir if you were there.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Peter Stupar\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0ps…you can hear Rock & Roll Hospital on a live radio broadcast from KLRB recorded back in the day.<\/p>\n

RE: TIM CONSIDINE<\/p>\n
Nice (if gloomy) obit. Being English, I had\u00c2\u00a0 no idea who Tim Considine was until today. But I had to laugh at your description of your mother being a great “thrower awayer.” Mine was too. Many’s the time I would come home from school looking for a favorite toy, say maybe a matchbox car, only to be told “Oh that, I gave it to the neighbor’s kid”. We were poor, but apparently they were poorer than us. Her “piece de resistance” however, came with the comic book incident. We had an old coal fire which you had to rake the ashes out of, wrap in newspaper and throw away. One day she couldn’t find any newspaper, so used one of my comic books. Amazing Spider Man. #1. Yep. In perfect\u00c2\u00a0condition\u00c2\u00a0today, worth around $300k. You have to laugh….<\/p>\n

Thanks for mentioning the passing of Tim Considine.<\/p>\n
Tim did have a bit part in the movie Patton.\u00c2\u00a0 He was the shell shocked guy sitting in the hospital tent that George C. Scott called a coward and smacked with his gloves.<\/p>\n
I prefer to remember him as Spin or as Mike.<\/p>\n
Cheers!<\/p>\n

Bummer about Tim Considine. I remember his as you do, in Spin and Marty and My Three Sons. I thought he was cool. A decade older than me, a teenager when I was an adolescent.<\/p>\n
I’m surprised you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mention what I consider to be his most significant achievement, for my life at least… he shot the photo of Joni Mitchell used on the cover of Blue, one of the greatest albums of all time.<\/p>\n
Gary Burden, who designed the cover, printed it using a Ferro cyanotype process that produces blue prints, and increased the contrast to made it look stark, edgy, and frankly rather muddy. The original is a drop dead beauty, soft and sensuous, languid and startlingly beautiful. And somehow sans the microphone that’s in the cover shot. Was the mic added for the cover, or removed the “original” version? Gary Burden is gone, but I’ll bet Henry Diltz knows.<\/p>\n
I found this out three or four years ago in a boredom induced \u00c2\u00a0internet deep dive, and saw then that the picture was available from Tim’s own website for $400. I snoozed, and ultimately, losed. A few months ago, I looked again, and it was gone. The website was down, and there was no referent to purchase the print anywhere. Bummer!<\/p>\n
So until I find one, I hang onto my little jpeg from the web. It’s a real beauty. And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll keep looking for it out there somewhere.<\/p>\n
RIP Tim Considine. After all you did that was prominent and cool, thanks for that one image that is burned permanently in my mind.<\/p>\n
