Your favorite male soul voices
I love all the above, and add Teddy Pendergrass, David Ruffin, Levi Stubbs. 
When artistic and entertainment worlds collide.
I've seen/heard Mary twice in small venues, and am always on the lookout for another opportunity, she is fabulous.  Her last record was part of a movement to help war vets, and the songs were co-written by them well-worth a listen. 
50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang
bdp, I was raised in Baltimore, saw the Cream concert way back when there, also saw Blind Faith, many others.  And on b'day number 12 for me my dad took me to The Beatles, in Baltimore.  A few years back (maybe more than a few?) I took my son to M...

bdp, I saw that video when it was new, made both my kids watch it, it brought tears to my eyes, still does.

I've been to two shows at the barn, took my son to one, we stood to the left of Levon and watched his drumming all evening (we're both drummers).  Larry was there, and it was clear how much he (Larry) admired and loved Levon.  As do I.  There is a... 
Is unamplified music the gold standard?
Thank *** for Paul.   
new L100?
What electronics are you using with the new L100s?  I am considering a pair for a system, so have an interest in knowing.  I listened to them yesterday, was pleasantly surprised by what I heard.   
I Would LOVE to see.
Nice mentioning Nick Drake.  I, a few years back, bought a CD of his mother Molly Drake, unbelievably haunting and beautiful.  With the time to listen.   
I Would LOVE to see.
Definitely John Lennon. Second is Buddy Holly. 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
Schubert, were you always so "black and white", "yes and no", "right and wrong", things like that?  I ask since I wonder if you were always like you appear to be now (and I am not trying to incite, or be critical, or to judge, please understand th... 
How did a bands' name originate?
Is it true The Beatles name was a take on The Crickets?   
Sweethearts of the rodeo tour
Keith should stay home, I'm over him and his "...".  But I agree, Hillman was one of the stars at the Town Hall show.   
Sweethearts of the rodeo tour
Yes, I bought the recording with the outtakes, etc.  David Fricke wrote the liner notes. I once lived in the same building (West End and 103rd, NYC) as he does, we would often talk over laundry in the basement.  Not sure why I wrote that last part.   
So disappointed in today's Americana
I love that Brandi Carlile record. Just shows. Maybe we listen for different things/reasons, who knows. But I love that one. And most of the artists listed by bdp24 (not so much a fan of Lauderdale).  The rest do it for me. 
Dylan
Garebear it is surprising, I too have seen him dozens of times including when Merle opened; these new shows, the arrangements, the clarity in sound (piano vocals and harmonica) shocked, amazed and overwhelmingly pleased me.
