I'm getting impatient already, the simultaneous CtC playback/chat was one of my favourite moments on here ever.
It's in June I think. Although bound to be less fun, I mentioned to Flex the idea of a live chat for the 1984-12-06 show which is a fascinating show in that it jarringly alternates between excellent and god awful and has tons of Clash 2 tunes.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Nice idea, I'll start sharpening my knife.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Well, Black Flag Week is June 4-10 this year, if we're trying to schedule.

That should be when Eet Week is based on the first two. Black Flag week was after Eet Week right?

Sorry, dude. Flag Week II has been scheduled for almost a year.

It even works in intra-PiL eras. The '84-85 lineup in the Anarchy Movie makes the Holiday Inn band in the Rockpalast show sound like First Issue. They should've played the Roskilde Festival so Atkins could challenge Paul to a dance-off.

I've warmed somewhat to This Is What You Want—side two isn't that bad. But that Tokyo album, plus the well-circulated Rockpalast boot from the same tour, are proof positive that Johnny *needs* someone to channel and inspire him. Left to his own devices, he goes the laziest, sloppiest route possible.

True for sure. All those albums with only 8 tracks on them when they might have made reasonable EP's.
