    That's the thing, I definitely wasn't expecting them to be great live so that's what made it so awesome. Happiness = reality - expectations.

    Eta: they did a fantastic cover of "Creep".
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

      Thanks. Such a great riff. And I just love the guitar tone in the song.

                I had to be away from my computer yesterday for much of the day; so very disappointed that you snagged MY (now yours) Suite Judy Blue Eyes.

                i am a big CSN and CSNY fan and that is one of my all time favorites. Certainly was coming off the boards when I got back home.

                    Well hot damn, was debating between "Lola" and another so I guess my choice is made.

                      They are one of many artists that I have two or three songs on my list, so once "Ohio" and "Southern Man" were taken, I figured it was then or never.

                        I have a feeling another artist who hasn't been picked yet will have a similar run. Debating whether I want to start it or hold off.

                          Great pick on LSD. I loved that song back in the day (still do) shocked that I totally forgot about it. Can't say this was on my radar, but wish it was.

                            Had no clue whether anyone else would be considering it, but it was a must have, such great piano work.

                            • After notating the dates on my picks, it's now pretty clear IMO that 1971 is greatest year of rock history. I'd always had a tough time deciding between that or 1969.

                                Every summer when I visit Chicago, I make sure to take a drive down LSD with the windows down with it on full blast.
