The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I think after 34 years the band has been making the point forever. What drives them what is the spark that lit this glorious trumphant mesmerizing blazing pile of dark matter. It is love . Love of each other love of the music love of the fans . A pool break kicks this album off. Why is that significant. Well Rick Danko 's bass hangs in Ed's studio. Ed played a Robbie Robertson guitar at Benaroyal. Who are Rick and Robby? Two members of the Band. What does that have to do with pool? The Last Waltz a film of their last concert. Kicks off with Rick breaking. The movie once we were brothers was filmed a shangri-la. It is a beautiful film. The Band wore hats. I think Mvp is love followed closely by hats.
This was good. Especially the hats. hats should be added to the poll!

As much as everyone is just killing it on this thing, MVP has to be Ed. He's the one that channels it all down into something that feels personal to us.
And for as much shit as Ed has received on here recently (deserved), this is truly a moment of redemption for him. Many of us thought he had completely lost the artistic ability to create this level of communal emotional connection.

Your next task - figure out why Got to Give lyrics only includes a few lines from the outro?

If you see the band live he does that at pretty much all nights. But I get what you mean yes.

I meant as a songwriter, there's been mostly divisive reactions to his songwriting contributions for the last few albums, even on Gig

ed still remains my favorite songwriter in the band too - at least modern output. But probably all periods

No one ever says Stone, and that’s exactly why it’s Stone. Eddie is smoking eyes, Matt is bulging biceps in a white t-shirt, Jeff is the tight ass in blue jeans, and Mike is a big swinging dick in gray sweats. But Stone is the balanced breakfast and daily exercise that make them all shine. I fucking love Stone Gossard.
