This may be old news to other Big Star fans.

Just tonight I found almost an entire show from the 2008 Rhythm Fest in Clapham, England on Youtube. I don't know how I never found it before.

Go here: http://www.youtube.com/user/suzymills#p/search and type in Big Star in the search field. Holy moly.

That's great! Saw them in Atlanta in 2006. Great show. I almost interviewed Chilton in '98 and he bailed before the interview. The day before the interview I asked John Davis from Superdrag how I should approach the interview and he told me that Chilton wouldn't say I word to him until John offered to get him high.... At that point, best friends.

Well, that sure explains a lot about Alex Chilton.  Hmm.

Haha. Yeah. He wouldn't open up at all until weed was mentioned.
