| Can't remember the name of a band. @bdp24 - But it's cool to be uncool!! 😄 | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @bdp24 - being a power-pop fan, I saw The Beat several times - great stuff! I liked The Beat from England, too! | |

| Best new audiophile rock album @baylinor - I totally agree with him about pop music, and he's got great taste in that and a lot of different genres. At one show, he was telling us about his love of 'shoegaze', which is one of my favorite post-punk genres as well. Have you read ... | |

Haven't heard the more recent music, though I last ... | |
| Can't remember the name of a band. I was thinking both Genya Ravan and Lydia Pense!! | |
| Live event calendar Another piece of good advice for the Greek Theater is to bring SEAT CUSHIONS. Anybody who has sat on that cement for a few hours without one will know whereof I speak.... | |
| Dead Box set of Lyceum 1972 3 shows vinyl just released @boxer12 - thanks! Until about a year ago I had them all except for Winterland '77 and the first Spring Tour 90 - I don't know why I didn't buy them on release - but I eventually got one on Discogs and another on eBay for halfway reasonable prices... | |
