Grammys

Congrats to Alabama Shakes! Wish MMJ could win something one of these days...

[Mr. White]

Well, last year, they won something that very few have before and even fewer will in the future. They were awarded the honor of actually BEING PINK FLOYD FOR A DAY! This will never be topped, in my opinion.

At least their label mates (at ATO Records), Alabama Shakes, got the award. I love their music and have seen them live twice. Sound and Color is killer in High-Resolution FLAC!

[Jackets N Pones]

Just curious - was My Morning Jacket in attendance last night? Hoping some interviews or photos surface. Thanks!

I'm wondering the same thing. I tuned in last night solely for MMJ, and didn't see or hear about them anywhere. It was more of a concert than a "giving of awards" last night anyway. I enjoyed the Eagles tribute, and it looked like Joe Walsh was playing Glenn's guitar. It's also sad how Don Felder supposedly wasn't even invited to play with them yesterday.

I DVR'd and watched last night so I could fast forward through most of it. There were very few awards given out. I was very pleased to find out Jason Isbell won both awards he was nominated for, and glad to see Chris Stapleton win Best Country album over most of the commercial/pop country out there that I personally can't stand.

I was looking forward to seeing The Eagles with Jackson Browne but thought it was not a good performance sadly. Very blah and Jackson messed up the words. The other performance I was really looking forward to was Chris Stapleton, Bonnie Raitt and Gary Clarke Jr. paying tribute to B.B. King. It was the best performance of the night by a mile to me. Loved it.

I skipped through the people I didn't know, and Bieber and Adele. I thought the Lionel Richie thing wasn't bad. I even liked the metal tribute more than expected. I guess the Lady Gaga Bowie performance was good for the theatrical aspect she gave it, though I am not a fan.

still, it was a good mix I think of recognizing a lot of legendary people who died this year and some of the younger kids out there.

I read yesterday that Natalie Cole's family was in a rage that she didn't get a special tribute like Bowie or B.B. got....really??

They went in the past, can't confirm if they were there this year.
