Killing time waiting on 0630 as Sounds From The Thievery HiFi set the early morning vibe on #CDFriday #GetDownEverybody

I’m at work as Femenine chugs around in the background this early #CDFriday

I purchased this from @frozenreeds.com back in the other neighborhood……was it really 2016?

Thought I had forever lost it in the 2017 Harvey flood, but alas today I found the CD😎

It was my only time seeing Sabbath and yeah they rocked it! I recently heard that Born Again would soon be receiving the remastered/bonus tracks re-release treatment. Can’t recall the last time I’ve seen that album out on the wild???

Hummm, how to quantify LPD fans, that’s a great question! Back in the day many of us were members of the CloudZero email list.

And wow to McCartney playing the ABQ, he plays San Antonio in a few days……his only Texas stop.

Ha - that Venom x-ray cover is still creepy looking 40 years later. I had Possessed on cassette, pretty sure that was my last “new” Venom purchase.

I’m going with

Black Sabbath - Trashed
(not because of drugs)

I saw the Born Again tour on February 10th, 1984 (41 years ago, I was 15)

Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) was Sabbath’s lead singer for just that album……still one of my favorites!
Got to hear Geezer rip through Smoke On The Water 🤘

On the “not so good side” of things: off to a 2-3 start, UNC has
been outscored 120-33 by Power 4 foes TCU, UCF and Clemson, gaining 270 yds or < in each game.

From a Vegas perspective, UNC will probably only be favored in one remaining game (Stanford).

That’s awesome! How was the turnout?

I first saw the Dots in 88 or 89, over 10+ times now. The last three have had Orbit Service as the opener. Randall is a good addition to the band. Appreciate the merch info! I’ve always wished Edward would do some solo stuff to open the shows.

Rockette Morton @rockettemorton.bsky.social · 2d

I miss the bigger band too, especially Niels van Hoorn creeping around the audience with his lighted saxophone.

Wayyyyy back in the day I saw the Dots when they were touring with a drummer.

If I make it out this weekend it will be my third time seeing LPD as a trio.

How was the merch table?

With so many eyes tuned in from around the world, “the exposure” (for most artists) is the opportunity to launch a new album/tour and it cost you nothing. The label could never afford to purchase that level of promotion.

The McCartney-Springsteen & T-Swizzle’s of the world don’t need it….others?

The mixtape possibilities are endless!

Once they are digitized, how do you envision the tapes taking their leave?
