Listener comments!
	♥ 9:05pm 12539: It's time for the funk!
	♥ 9:05pm Uncle Michael: Woo! Hello, EFD.
	9:07pm tim: Go Evan go!
	♥ 9:08pm Uncle Michael: Greetings everyone.
	♥ 9:13pm spodiodi: 80 wives... nice
	♥ 9:14pm Chris in TX via RI: Hey everybody
	♥ 9:14pm spodiodi: Hello all!
	♥ 9:15pm spodiodi: Hittsburg! FYes
	♥ 9:17pm Uncle Michael: I've never heard Chilton's version of Oogum Boogum before. Wow.
	9:18pm green mountain man mark: Hey I am here thanks for good show
	9:20pm PB: Considering how great his band was, fair to say Alex Chilton's solo career was an even bigger disappointment than McCartney's?
	♥ 9:23pm Uncle Michael: Do you consider Wings part of McCartney's solo career? If so, then I think the premise is flawed.
	9:25pm PB: Michael, yes I do. In my opinion McCartney's solo career was dreadful. So was Chilton's. Just my opinion.
	9:25pm PB: Including Wings.
	♥ 9:26pm Uncle Michael: I love Wings so we're not on the same page...viva la differenace.
	♥ 9:27pm Uncle Michael: Were the Box Tops Chilton's Beatles and Big Star his Wings?
	♥ 9:27pm Chris in TX via RI: I'm not afraid to admit I like Wings. But I have never brought myself to listen to a true McCartney solo record. And I'm not in any hurry to.
	9:29pm PB: The Box Tops weren't really around long enough to factor into the discussion.
	♥ 9:32pm Uncle Michael: Box Tops: 4 albums in three years. Big Star: 3 albums in 4 years.
	♥ 9:34pm efd: Very limited commenting from me tonight, but thanks to everyone for tuning in! And thanks to Tim for holding it down in the studio. Please talk amongst yourselves.
	♥ 9:35pm Uncle Michael: Evan, if you get him to sit down, please tell Freedy that a Northeast Kansan and Cornucopia patron says that he's missed around here...
	9:36pm PB: Fair enough. What I should have said is that the Box Tops didn't have nearly the same impact as Big Star. Big Star was in a different league. I'll go punish myself by listening to Band on the Run.
	♥ 9:38pm Uncle Michael: Awww...be nice to yourself listen to Venus and Mars. I like Big Star orders of magnitude more than the Box Tops too.
	9:40pm Rick from WO Town: Wings are great. I always think of the Beatles as McCartney's former back-up band, which I think is fair. And no Beatles album (well maybe 2 are) are as good as All Things Must Pass from the guitar guy.
	♥ 9:42pm Uncle Michael: I don't know if I think ATMP is better than every Beatles album but I do think it's the best post-Beatles release.
	9:43pm Jojodillon: Good stuff, reminds me of Ben Gibbard a bit.
	9:44pm PB: I agree, All Things Must Pass is a great album (thanks in large part to Phil Spector's production), but The Beatles as McCartney's backup band? I assume you're kidding. If not, that is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever heard, about any topic. Plastic Ono Band was also a great Beatles solo record, and Imagine was pretty good too.
	♥ 9:46pm Uncle Michael: I was just telling a friend of mine that's a cellist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra about Jane the other night. How cool.
	♥ 9:48pm Uncle Michael: There is no orthodoxy. There is no canon.
	♥ 9:56pm Uncle Michael: A Kansas band!
	♥ 9:59pm Uncle Michael: Hello Gaylord!
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been listening in tub (someone needs to invent cheap waterproof keyboards & monitors...) - been marvelous - ! ...have to say I think TheBeatles were pretty damned okay!...
	10:02pm Rick from WO Town: Gaylord is great.
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...BigStar better than solo Chilton? - I don't know much but I wonder if there might be some truth to that...like JoeStrummer said about the Clash - if you got the right people (band) for the right chemistry - you should really value that... - I love that FMU brings Special Events to my humble trap!...
	10:10pm sylvia yount: Hi, Evan: Great to hear one of my fave WNYU djs live at my all-time favorite club. For old-time's sake, how about some Lyres? Hello to Todd!
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Sir (Paul) Macca solo - I think of as a lot like Clapton - I know it's in him but his motivation & his 'kewlness' goes up & down over years (decades?!) ...I'd say Sir Macca's Kewlness in later recent years has gone up & his solo albums are okay - & I'd love to have seen him Live. ...Off-topic of Maxwell's (sorry) but typical chatty for efd's board here I suppose!...
	10:17pm Cat: Myself a former Maxwellian-bandmate of the Chris Stamey Group,, Vinny Denunzio's Outsets, The Cosmopolitans, FourFour and a longtime friend of BarNone, I'd suggest a Maxwell's South in Asbury Park!
	10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Joe Belock made point this week that the 'legendary shows' are all sparsely attended...
	♥ 10:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: A couple of places where I went for live music over the years have closed. Never a good feeling. Life goes on, I guess.
	10:22pm steve: great interviews efd
	10:22pm PB: Can we all agree on the greatness of The Feelies?
	♥ 10:24pm joe: 'ello folks
	10:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...clubs come & go - but there's also talk these days that the Business Model of Rock has undergone a significant shift - discussed on Diane Kamikaze's July 4th show w/ Doug "Didjit" Evans : www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:26pm joe: is it ESPN?
	♥ 10:26pm Stevel: ...an undercurrent of live radio goodness!
	♥ 10:27pm Stevel: joe: 'ello.
	♥ 10:34pm joe: Maybe some Monopuff efd ?
	♥ 10:35pm joe: In all the times Ive been there at Maxwwells I have only seen someone "forcibly" removed once and he was very very drunk
	10:36pm Loretta: Hi everyone!!! hi Evan, really enjoying the show tonight.... thanks
	10:38pm Holly in NC: Hi everyone! Evan, thank you. On verge of heat exhaustion so no commenting, a lot of lying down with ice packs, w/b listening
	10:41pm Rick from WO Town: " Can we all agree on the greatness of The Feelies?" Absolutely. Man, Good Earth is one my favorite albums. Favorite driving record for sure.
	10:41pm Cathy Harrington: Hey!Rick Brown, old band mate!! Nice, Evan!
	10:43pm Rick from WO Town: FCC!!! FCC!!!
	♥ 10:43pm Chris in TX via RI: Bleep
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'fleeting expletive'
	10:53pm steve: i love this song! never knew the bar/none connection
	♥ 10:55pm joe: nice!!! thank you
	♥ 11:02pm joe: It is good one Steve I always forget about it until I hear it again
	♥ 11:03pm Stevel: Now is the time for sign language!
	11:03pm tim: PYLON!
	11:04pm Jojodillon: This is great by the way!
	11:04pm Jojodillon: This is great by the way!
	11:06pm Holly in NC: What Tim said!
	11:11pm Torru: Greetings from Barcelona everyone.
	♥ 11:15pm joe: hello torru
	♥ 11:22pm joe: Yes according to Langford he did grab a drunken nap on stage there :)
	♥ 11:22pm Stevel: Once again, I am grateful to be learning about a history other than my own, in a very personal way thanks to WFMU and, tonight especially, efd. Thanks.
	♥ 11:22pm spodiodi: YES!
	11:23pm Loretta: @Stevel ~ for sure!
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It sounds goofy & platitudinous - but it's true - I'm not only entertained by FMU but I learn all kinds of things - schooled! & yeah, moved even...
	11:30pm John: Ah yes, Maxwell's Plum. It hurts to know that it will be with us no longer. A Cultural Landmark. An Institution. An integral part of Hoboken, of New Jersey, of the New York Metropolitan Area music scene. Long live Maxwell's, and all of the fine people who are part of it, who have performed there, and who have passed through its doors. Maxwell's is part of who we are.
	♥ 11:32pm Stevel: Loretta/RRN63: Often moved.
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - hopefully moved by music & culture!
	11:37pm Loretta: @RRN63 ~ 'moved' for sure ...dancin' with my cat!
	11:45pm dano: After an aborted trip to a 2004 YLT Hanukkah show left me broken down in Allamuchy, I was glad to finally make it to Maxwell's for two Feelies shows July 4-5
	♥ 11:46pm joe: ah bummer I have to take the girls down to Delaware for a derby bout I would love to see you guys play Saturday
	11:51pm Jojodillon: Goodnight EFD, I really enjoyed the show tonight!
	11:53pm steve: fantastic tribute efd
	♥ 11:57pm efd: thanks everybody! phew! crazy night, hope it sounded less crazy on the air!
	♥ 11:58pm Stevel: It was great. Really. Properly disjointed.
	♥ 11:59pm 12539: Thanks efd!
	♥ 12:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the nice program from Maxwell's tonight.

July 24, 2013: Live from the front lounge at Maxwell's! With live performances from CHRIS STAMEY and SPEED THE PLOUGH! Interviews with STAN DEMESKI, BOB BERT, and more! A celebration of and farewell to our dear friend Maxwell's.

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Maxwell's, the Hoboken mainstay and longtime dear friend of WFMU, is closing its doors at the end of July. Wednesday night, July 24, was Bar/None Records night as the venerable local label paid tribute to Maxwell's legendary run. While the Bar/None tribute was happening in the back I was broadcasting from the front lounge with live performances, interviews, and an assortment of Bar/None and Maxwell's-related music - check out the playlist for all the details, and click the links to hear the show!

Extra-special thanks to Scott Williams, Irene Trudel, AmEdeo, and DJ Superpong for their invaluable assistance before, during, and after the show. Thanks as well to Todd Abramson and Glenn Morrow, and to all the guests who came on the air to share their Maxwell's memories.
