Ach - I'm catching up - just got a copy of Bridges to Babylon last week - yeah, that one was good, too. Or is it just everything else out there is getting so bad?

after just plain assuming they were too old and irrelevant to be worth seeing anymore, I was stunned how impressive their show was when I saw it on HBO live a few years ago. The last time I saw them "live" live was the Steel Wheels tour in '89, which was really great also - there really seemed to be a lot at stake for them by then.

i agree that the tickets expensive, though i went to a show just because i'd never had a chance to see them. the show was pretty great, not Springsteen great (that's crazy talk), but still a lot of fun. (it didn't hurt that we got that cool seat upgrade,i'll admit)

Agree that the last album was pretty decent. I found myself unwilling to fork over the extreme amounts of cash they wanted for tickets, though.

yea eo, that's what i thought too. pretty good not only for some old coots but for a rock band in general.

thanks! I think Bigger Bang is their best is quite a while, Mark, they seem comfortably edgy (or something)

Proves the point that "Age and experience will best youth and arrogance" every time.

Maybe this will shut up all the lazy writers who raise the issue of their age as a negative the next time they tour, but then I keep waiting for people to stop talking about France liking Jerry Lewis, so I'm not holding my breath. Scorsese's doc sounds interesting. I hope it's more than just concert footage. His relationship with music goes back even farther as he was also one of the editors on "Woodstock".
