About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
It has been almost a month now since our friend has passed. I would like to know from Barb or Paul how the Malone family is doing. The puppy is beautiful. Pat is still in my thoughts. I hope everyone is healing well. Also Paul if you could post th... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Dear barb and The Malone Family,My family and I are thinking of you all today. A lyric from a Dylan song seems to sum up Pat, this thread and what he's meant to us all better than any words I could come up with:And every one of them words rang tru... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Pat,I have never been a believer in organized religion of any kind, but your words have made me a believer in humanism. I will use this phenomenal thread as a reference to console those going through what you're almost done with and when the time ... 
I fell victim to a scam
Paypal is owned by E-bay. E-bay only cares about the seller. That is why you can have hundreds of negative feedbacks as a seller and remain a member of ebay but if you're a buyer screwing a seller you are booted on the 3rd infraction. This is beca... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
I went last night and sat on the jack bruce side this time (1st nite was EC side). I am sorry I went. The initial shock of seeing Cream had worn off and since they played the exact same show I concentrated more on the technical stuff. Seeing Cream... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
Okay,I went on opening night and am going tonight as well. I agree that this was the best concert in recent memory, but I don't go to many concerts. I saw Clapton solo a few years ago and I can't stand his adult contemporary and acoustic blues stu... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
Your suggestion is not practical. In a way Clearchannel is the Exxon of concert venues. Cream is not playing in any local venue and I choose to see them. I was at the Garden last night for a Sumo wrestling event and saw the Cream t-shirts in the t...

One day hopefully not too soon there will be a post that says Lugnut passed away last night. His journey has brought so much closeness amongst A'goners that I would like to know what we are supposed to do after he's gone. Do we tell Lugnut stories... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
I am 46 years old and paid my dues with obstructed view and GA tickets when I was young and broke. For me location is crucial for enjoyment. I bought my tix online and got socked with UPS charges , ticketmaster charges etc. It was an Amex gold car... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Pat,I wonder if there is a charitable group or organization you would want those of us that choose to remember you could donate to. If you don't believe in that sort of thing and you wanted to have us send money directly to Barb I don't think anyo... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
Actually the gestapo tactics only apply to seats in the elite 370 dollar areas of the garden comprising perhaps 20% of tickets sold. The cheaper seats for 200 plus are sent in the mail and can easily be scalped. So what's their message? We don't w... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
Au contraire. The message from ticketmaster specifically says: The extreme measures are at the band's behest because of the great demand for the tickets to try and eliminate scalping. Funny they don't seem to have much of a conscience about chargi... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
Cream is acting like the gestapo. For ticket pickup you need photo ID. You must be with the person you are going in with and you must go into the show as soon as you are handed your tickets. You can only pickup the tickets one hour before the show... 
Cream at Madison Square Garden
I've seen pictures of Ginger now and although 66, he looks every bit of 75-80. Saw Jack Bruce and friends at the Bottom Line. Played with David Sancious, Clem Clemson and Billy Cobham. An incredible show . Think it was 79-80. Usually I avoid old r... 
Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound?
I have a Music Hall MMF -5. It's a good starter turntable, but limited in upgradability. I upgraded to a Scheu premier table and there is no comparison . Like Dan ed said though if you want next level analogue the price increase is significant. Yo...
