I believe David Wilcox will break out of the tie with the rest when you remember we saw him and Meg Hutchinson up at the Iron Horse on that impromptu trip up to Noho.

Also, you should point out the Nields and Dar did a Beatles song (Lovely Rita?) at the Y2K concert, too.

That’s easy:

Grateful Dead: 76 times.
Jerry Garcia Band: 15 times
Bob Weir/Bobby & The Midnights, etc: 6 times
Robert Hunter: 6 times
Radiators: 15 times

Most copies of one album would have to be the Dead’s first album, one of several titlted “The Grateful Dead.” Mono, stereo, stero with different label, promo, import…

I attended the “worst concert” Sting show with Rudi, and I’ve got to agree with his assessment. I’m sure he’s quite tantric off-stage, but that night he was a total bore on-stage. It seemed to me that the basic idea was “hey, let’s change things up a bit – slow the song down, make it more loose and jazzy!” And then he did that for every song he played that night. Every song had the same bloody sound and rhythm, and it totally neutered many great Police numbers. ‘Twas my first Sting live experience, and it will certainly be my last.
