The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
Immatthewj, Im thinking it was mid 80's...? Maybe it was during his Guitar Town heyday, @winoguy17  ? I know that he went on to say something to the effect of "Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob D... 
Should speakers be upgraded before preamp and amplifiers?
You have new speakers and vintage electronics. Did I google the wrong speakers?  Those are not exactly new, are they?

Should speakers be upgraded before preamp and amplifiers? Like everything else audio, that depends upon who you ask and/or who answers. I did a quick search on those speakers and they seem pretty decent.  They might benefit from better electro...

+1 @nonoise  for another vote for No Country For Old Men.  I've listed several movies I enjoyed, but that is one of my all time favorites.    
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
Ha ha!  Well, @grislybutter , I guess do what you gotta do.

"Rancho Deluxe"  The great Jeff Daniels.....among others  I think you're mixing him up with the great Jeff Bridges. I didn't think Jeff Daniels was in Rancho, but then again, Sam Waterston was in it and that was back before I knew who he wa...

NASCAR has got to be the most boring spectator sport I have ever forced myself to try to watch, but Talladega Nights:  The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby is hilarious.  The interaction between Ricky Bobby's juvenile delinquent kids and their grandmother, t...

March 18, 1973 Linda Ronstadt opened for Neil Young and so began my total love affair with her. A voice that touches my soul. @tony1954 , and Linda Ronstadt is another one of my favorites!  I remember seeing a documentary about her (I think it ...

Steve Earle and The Dukes opened for Bob Dylan. @winoguy17 , Steve Earle is one of my favorites; I would have loved to see that.  What year was that?

 Jason Isbell joined him towards the end of his set and they performed a John Prine song together. @wharfy , was it Daddy's Little Pumkin?  I like Josh Ritter a lot.  Girl In The War back in '07 is what turned me on to him. But sadly, I haven't...

@bassbuyer , going way back, I remember renting a VHS of Bob Dylan playing with Tom Petty and The Heart Breakers. It must have been that tour, huh?  That's another one I would have liked to have seen!

. . . I guess that Paul Simon opening on the Paul Simon?bob Dylan tour might have to be up there. And Annie Difranco opening for Bob Dylan also.    
Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ?
I have been dreaming about having what I have. So I just gave it all to goodwill and I will start from scratch. There are times I am not sure whether you are serious, @grislybutter .

@immatthewj I saw John Cougar Mellencamp open for KISS. Maybe 1979? I’d never heard of him and he was really good. Come to think of it, @sls883 , it was 1979! I had to ponder it, but I hadn’t moved off base yet so it would have had to have been...

Being a Steve Carell fan I wanted to see Vice for his portrayal of Donald Rumsfield (with Christian Bale as Dick Cheney). I found it to be an interesting/entertaining movie. I also enjoyed The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei. And sp...
