The drinking habits of aging musicians fascinate me.I’m told that Los Lobos — all in their late ‘60s/early ‘70s — routinely drink musicians less than 1/3rd their age under the table.

On a darker note, in some of the new interviews I was reading with Robert Forster, it's mentioned that Grant never gave up his vices like drinking and lived like he was still in his 20s. It likely contributed to his heart attack.

His favorite drink until he died was the Long Island iced tea, which was like a jackhammer in my heart when I learned about it in Forster's memoir. This is what college guys drink to wash down Jägermeister shots (I would know).

I remember Scott Ian joking that the most dangerous words a musician could ever say were "I'll have what he's having" when seated at a table with Lemmy.

friend of mine used to work for a promoter who put on the summer show series that used to happen at the minnesota zoo amphitheatre, los lobos were one of the staples, they came through on a yearly basis for quite a while...anyway she said they would have to roust them out of their trailer in the early morning hours, all the crew was done tearing down the stage and loading out the gear, zoo people had cleaned up, everyone wanted to go home and they'd be in there playing poker and drinking whiskey just kicking it

There was a bar where I went to school called The Library (yuk yuk, "mom and dad I'm going to the library tonight, don't worry") that had a similar Long Island Iced Tea thing.

From a very geeked-out Double Ees series: most shows w 0 tape; this is an exception.
Pittsburgh is the second and final tape we have of the first mini-run of Bob Dylan’s 1966 tour, before he went to Nashville to work on Blonde on Blonde. It’s by far the better of the two. Still muffled, still not up the level of the soundboards from later shows, but miles better than White Plains yesterday.This recording also features some rare songs fo…Keep Reading With A 7-Day Free Trial:

Late to the party here, but I remember somebody here posting a long time ago about interviewing John Lee Hooker in the '90s and how Hooker offered a sip from the flask he'd been hitting all night. The writer accepted--noting it was the only drink they had that night--and were barely able to drive home.

Listening to the TOOM Bootleg Series and I'm starting to think Lanois fucked up a really great album. Love the spare mixes and a lot of the first versions - some almost sound like Blonde on Blonde a little, little bit.

Red River Shore is such a great song. It sounds like it could be an Appalachian song based on a Childe Ballad (now someone will tell me it is).
The way Mississippi (Version 1) comes fading in I imagine the band was jamming for 15 minutes on that riff before Bob stepped up.

Standing in the Doorway (Version 1) sounds like a minor track off Blonde on Blonde. The Version 1's are mostly the best versions - each subsequent version made the tracks more distinctive, but also slowed a lot of them down and, imo, sapped them of some energy.

"The two common listings are these Dylan sets and very pricey Dick’s Picks sets. Always like insanely cheap. Never heard of anyone ever getting fulfilled. Some just straight up lost the money. I think this is another in the long line of fake listings. Never known anyone to actually get one of these"
Weird, according to Amazon:
Ships fromAmazon.com
Sold byAmazon.com
Maybe they "price matched" the seller's listing (now gone)? Anyway, I placed an order - since Amazon is the vendor, worst-case scenario is that they cancel the order.
― birdistheword, Sunday, 5 March 2023 00:11 (one year ago) link
my order was straight up through amazon, not a third party. i don't see anything about "all time fans."
― Thus Sang Freud, Sunday, 5 March 2023 00:47 (one year ago) link
FWIW, it's now back up to $90 on Amazon. I guess we'll see if it's a mistake and Amazon cancels those orders, but it's possible they were clearing out overstock too.
― birdistheword, Sunday, 5 March 2023 07:10 (one year ago) link
It was definitely legit - people who placed them with Prime delivery are already receiving their orders.
