Yup, that's the way it rolls @Marvel My girls are both great kids I just shake my head when I see me surfacing. lol The youngest decided she was going to Coachella when she was at OSU. Some ballers she knew won some 3 on 3 tourney and picked up 100k so they were payin for the airfare. Then she and her roomate realized the tickets were off the charts so called me whining a bit. I laffed and told her to find the weakest link in the fencing around the place and smooth the the dumbest looking dude in a security shirt tell him to close his eyes and go blind for one minute. Then I told her it was up and over the snow fence with the first one over holding it down for the rest. The next thing I saw was after it was over. It was a post on instagram. "Yea, we got in for free but I don't know how long it's gonna take us to heal after going up and over the fence. Thanks Dad!" I just shook my head. A chip off the old block for sure. I had to google it to find out what Coachella even was. That security dude didn't know what hit him and prolly didn't care. 😂 Gotta preach n teach!

Scares me! 😂 @AndreG. Yes Sir brother, nothing like going right to the top of the food chain in a nano second. Ya get @Chief bonehead in here it's gonna get pricey. About the only thing that might draw his interest is the fact we're just a gaggle of red-headed step-brothers in here and he's always been a bonehead. Never know though. We could see a unicorn magically appear!

Hey @Full Range you haven't seen heels LF wandering around down under yet or is there something going on we don't know about? Inquiring minds wanna know... 😂

That's funny! Try having two daughters if you want to increase your stress level. I STILL don't have them figured out. With age comes wisdom? I call BS! My youngest is 26 and has never listened to much classic rock it's all been boom boom rap, yet we roll into that Eagles show a couple years ago and it's sing along time AND she knew every word to every song they played. What AM I missing? 😂

@Invidiosulus from what I've seen you're knocking it outta the park. Good job! Those kids are takin notes for sure.

@Full Range wellllll that's different! Not too shabby.

So did you see somewhere where there were other tour legs going into 2025? That's what I'm wondering about.

There ya go again @KROCK jerkin my chain... I've already ordered two. 😂 😂 😂

@Buck115 I think the Forum was a box set maybe but can't remember w/o looking. The lp's are dialed right in as I recall. I can't see them not having something out there but who knows?

Huh?

@AndreG maybe we're related? You grab a pair of LS and go thru them and you're gonna have the same Klipsch gear as I do. In the meantime keep workin on that lp collection cause I wanna see your line array when it's done. lol

.

@Jeff Matthews gonna inbox ya shortly.

First 3 are nuts, haven't seen 4 but they say it's great so now there's a 5? Kinda like buying lp's maybe??? lol

@the real Duke Spinner Upstate NY is crazy cool. My neice and her husband lived up there in some lil burg btwn Watkins Glen and Ithaca. She taught there for a few years while her husband was a T/A @ Cornell Law School. Lived above some pizza shop in that lil burg on the cheap. That pizza was fantastic! They didn't eat much of it though cause living above the place kinda killed their taste buds. lol Guess that law school is one of the best ones. He was always on the list to get in but the icing on the cake was he had to wait for one kid to drop so he could get into it. When that happened and he didn't get in after three years workin for chump change he decided to come back to Ohio State and hit their law school. So they're all back in the Cbus area now. We wound up hitting the falls and goin up river on some flat rock somewhere which was great and I wound up spending 175 @ some farmer's market on a hand made knotted recliner I hang from a tree in. Like a cocoon but sleep like a baby. Best 175 I ever spent on outdoor furniture. Still goin strong 20 years later. Beautiful area for sure.

@JJkizak gotta remember those salamander's have rights too! Ya see em all over out West. The balancing act completed by bored people out on the trails in the National Parks. lol Have to leave their mark somewhere I guess. Beats destroying things that have been there for centuries. The one's that do... That's another story imo.

Ok, now that I've seen the rest of the scroll I'll throw this in for ya @AndreG. Prolly 5-6 years ago I picked up a pair of 4.5's for I think for 300 w/200 shipping also in ash black. Posted a couple pics cause I picked them up at auction and wondered what they were since the tags didn't show in the o/l pics. Some of the guys chipped in with their thoughts but we really weren't sure til I got them. TBH I didn't have space in here w/my LS and Heresy so they've taken up residence in my garage w/a lil 100w Yahama receiver and cheapo CD player. Those things ROCK! I sit outside and have it cranked a bit w/a CD in and turn heads when the neighbors walk by and hear it. A few have even stopped to listen. If they only knew what I had inside. hahaha You're gonna love 'em brother cause they cook! Let's see... Bottoms... Hey @001 what's your take on bottom speakers for 'em. Give the man the skinny. Klipsch parts shipped to Germany??? Or??? The other thing you can do is a WTB the bottoms over in the garage sale section. Cross your fingers but ya never know in here. Someone might have a pair laying around that will ship to ya. They might even trade ya one of those 17 turntables you have sittin around. 😂 😂 😂 I HAD too!

Well congratulations you old curmudgeon! I was snickering just a tad but I knew you were gonna step up that game in due time! Gotta be killin it at your place now! How's she sound cause we all know you were werkin w/George on the build and takin notes from the rest of us. hahaha I'm happy as schiit for ya brother ^5's ya! Welcome Home! PWK's prolly grinnin too btw.

Got a source for that info? i'm in CYA mode here and haven't asked about it but kinda knew it was coming down the way it has so far. I haven't even looked at the tour stops yet but it sounds logical. I got the word this spring about Cleveland but nothing then about a full blown tour. So dunno.

Welllllll, that @001 is reading again, which is good. Lightens my load in here. Their ain't gonna be no more. Think what you may but factor in this. This is the way to go out. The RIGHT way to treat their fan base, which is HUGE or maybe I'm wrong? It's the way they roll and remember I'm from Ohio and I'm ancient. I've seen a thing or two and KNOW a thing or three. Life's about respect imo. They began the "Hotel California" tour w/an 11 stop pre-tour just to get the feel. Full orchestra and full choir @ EVERY stop. Additionally EVERY former member of the band played those stops with the exception of Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon. I flew into Phoenix and had a date w/my youngest who knew every darn song they did by heart. She was amazed at the show done by a bunch of old guys. lol She's learnin thank God! Had one of the best times of my life that nite with her. Simple. Then comes the tour after that w/zero downtime cause they hit every stop on the planet paying back to the fans. Their best album EVER! A wallet rape? It takes a huge amount of money to tour and they basically make some money. Then after that Joe's out doing his Vets Aid gigs and killin it donating the money to his foundation. Just like he promised he would when he started it. Now we're into the final run of "The Eagles" as we know it. Couple all that up w/Steely Dan playing with them??? It's a darn no-brainer for a show. Joe's almost 77 and for the last 10 years he's been bustin his balls fulfilling EVERY promise he's ever made (that he can remember lol). Joe has NEVER made an idle promise that I know of. In fact, when he did his Vets Aid show in Columbus. It wasn't just Joe but he brought back his original band The James Gang one last time. They flat out killed it! He also brought in some great bands from Ohio one of which was The Black Keys from Akron. Check 'em out if you haven't heard them. I also know he fulfilled a promise he made years ago to a guy to play at the Toldeo Zoo??? A 2-3k seat venue outside. Yup, he sucked it up, lost money but fulfilled his promise. That's Joe! Check me out if ya wanna. Have at it cause I'm laffin. The reason he played there most prolly isn't there. A promise is a promise to him. Period. I really debated on posting this but we're ALL in this together for ONE reason or maybe i'm wrong on that. lol This is it. Hit their site, make the drive and enjoy the show cause it's gonna be one heck of a bittersweet moment for me. They're never gonna stop and there could be some spot gigs down the road but the tours are done. Joe will play anywhere for money. lolol That's Joe! Choose your poison wisely. Drop the cash and take your wife or whoever and enjoy the show and re-live the memories. Like it,or laff at it cause I don't care. I'm already in.

Atta boy George! The big dawg is a grinnin now for sure! Always a great feeling when you can help someone out. We need more people in the world working together instead of some of the things going on today. Would be a much happier place imo.

@Invidiosulus Great idea and sounds like a good time!

@Full Range I'm waitin on him to run out of storage space. It won't be long...

@grasshopper I KNOW you didn't pick it up! Bait! lol Heard the new movie out is great.

@JJkizak Oh it's crystal clear. Spot gigs perhaps but as a tour I'd be VERY suprised to see it. It's the last wallet rape. Never say never though.
