Huge BNL fan. I challenge anyone on Pinside to claim they're a bigger fan. I've been tempted to send Ed a longwinded PM on here but have restrained myself.

Seen every tour starting with their US debut promoting Gordon when they opened for Stephen Stills in Avila Beach, California for the Salmon Enhancement benefit. I've never seen an opening band win over a crowd like they did that day. I own a physical copy of every release, including eps, Christmas fan club stuff, etc and would encourage everyone to pick up the vinyl version of "Silverball" for the pinball related poster alone. (The album is also excellent.) When Itunes was a thing, I owned most of the "Ships & Dips" concerts and I even own a few bootlegs.

I would be a day one LE buyer.

I do!

Damn...Now you're making me dig through my boxes of cassettes.

Nice!

I saw him at a show once and couldn't get up the nerve to approach him even though I'm not the star struck type. He had a lot of people vying for his attention.

I did once approach Steven Page and Tyler Stewart for an autograph during the "Maybe You Should Drive" tour, much to Steven's dismay. (They both signed and he later apologized via Twitter.)

Even though the song isn't about pinball, the lead single from their newest (amazing) album, Detour de Force would have to be included in the pin just for the title alone.

It would be awesome that everytime you hit the flipper button, you would hear the band yell "Flip!

Fair enough. I was talking about Pinsiders.

Great to hear! Didn't know there was so many Pinsiders with great taste. Happy to be wrong.

In retrospect, my initial post did come across as a bit hyperbolic. My apologies. I sometimes have a tendency to get overly excited about music that I love.

On a side note, I used to gloat about seeing over 70 Dead and Dead related shows until people with hundreds under their belt would sigh and give me that "amateur" look.

Anyone else a huge Bruce Cockburn fan?
