YES...I did. It looks exactly like the original issue. A bit brighter or washed out, but otherwise exactly the same.

Damn, I have half a mind to offer you $60 for it...I mean, I really want that thing.

Yeah John, I like it. It gets kinda funky on weekends, its small and it gets PACKED. I went in there and was watching an A's game, and about 40 minutes after the game was over the place was jam packed with A's fans. If that gets to be too much, waddle over to the Everett and Jones BBQ and get some meat stuck to your ribs!!!

Check out this place!!!

This is all dancing about architecture anyways. I can't wait for the summer and all the Blue Note Reissues I'll be devouring! !!!

Please guys...is this going to be April Fools MONTH? I hope not, I can't continue to be a fool for the full 30 days. If Kenny G even LOOKED at a Frank Zappa album I would have to shoot myself for the Apocalyspe would surely be coming and that right soon....

Sources indicate that the Silver will have Bonus tracks. Here is the link to a discography from the shows that were recorded... http://www.jazzdisco.org/bluenote/1961-dis/c/#610519. The cd version had two tracks added. Hopefully the tracks that have been issued previously will be on this new RVG.

Yes, it is a damn shame these guys can't get their lives together. The 80's Mets were an amzing thing to witness, and The Doc was a BIG part of that. In fact I had a Mets Gooden t-shirt and I used to wear it all the time back int he day. I once saw Doc fall off the mound out at a blustery summer day out at Candelstick one time. The pitch must have travelled a whole 8 feet. The memories.... Doc is just another in the LONG line of faltering major leagers that were not adequately supported by the league over drug and alcohol abuse. This has gone on for FAR too long, but is indeed a part of baseball, akin to the blind eye turned towards steroid use in the 80's and 90's.

Man, if Frank Zappa had produced Freak out in 2006 instead of 1966, something resembling this statement might have been printed on the inside sleeve.

Yeah, I still honestly do not recognize the difference. Some McMaster cds sound like crud, others sparkle. Some of the RVG's don't sound as good as others. Sometimes I make a delicious meat sauce, some times its bland and watery...sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes, it rains. Thinkabout that.

Damn, thats two we lost this last week. Anyone else here a fan of his drumming on Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light? Man, he more than holds his own amongst PM, Jaco and Brecker.

Good Night Jackie. and Thank you!!

Yeah, Jer has a HORRIBLE time with the words in Scarlet>Fire, even with the TelePrompter is pretty sad, but he just kind of says "Fudge IT" and absolutely rips the guitar to shreds. The jam into Drumz with Bruce wailing on Grand Piano is prce enough for getting this tape. The post drumz has little to recommend it, but they do encore with The Weight, which rounds off the show very nicely. The first set is farily solid and tight (for the era), and the 2nd set opens with Unbroken Chain, which clearly benefits from having Bruce there.

IMO, if its from the 90's if and only if it has Hornsby playing...it is probably going to be worth hearing at least once. After Hornsby..well, when he IS there, it is a great show, ie. 2/23/95 AMAZING

Awesome. so...who was the Sax player on that?

This is by no means a comprehenisve list, but here is another site I found which had more info on Waits' shows... http://www.geocities.com/chrisbct77/tomwaits.html Of course, no one seems to care who the sidemen were on various Waits tours, so details like who played Sax on what seem kind of moot to the typical Waits collector. Or so it would seem.... Now, Zappa fans have put up exhaustive lists of who played what and what was played on various tours. Waits opened for FZ in the Fall of "74, and he even gave Waits a small spot in the middle of certain shows. The one I have is the Bostom Orpheum show on 11/9/74. Its kinda funny.

If memory serves, the special I think Mr. Sangry is referring to had Ernie Watts on tenor. IIRC, the special was recorded in '79 (12/5/78) or so, which would chronologically be Hollywood and Vine era. I found this link, which dosen't say who the sax player is but I think it was Watts. http://www.pbs.org/klru/austin/artists/program259.html

I don't know what series it is, but lately I have been enjoying Jimmy Guiffre 3 -1961. Ive also enjoyed the early Metheny Group sides when he was on that label, as well as the Dave Holland stuff.

There were a bunch of British shows I liked. Rising Damp has just come out on DVD, I recall that to be pretty funny. Never really got into Only Fools and Horses, though I understand it was close to legendary back int he U.K. Kinuta...maybe you can tell me the name of a series taking place in an East End barber shop. I remember one of the characters was called Porkpie, but I can't for the life of me remember what that show was called. Anyone? Anyways, I can see where one might not be so excited about The Office. They have defintely done a fine job with the show over here, unlike the hack job that resulted in Coupling. I agree that the last season of the English Coupling was weak in comparison. No way that show could be as good without GEOFF. It's like taking Rimmer off the last season of Red Dwarf.

Are any of those 80's cd's even comercially available right now? What about the live stuff? Anything?

If you are Fawlty fan, you should check out The Office. I know everyone says that, but after watching the two seasons plus XMas special, I think its going to hold up in 30 years just as well as Faulty Towers did.

Great review Doctor! I've heard this show now on the DP and I must say....your descriptive of it makes me want to sit back with a bottle of wine in the half-darkness and listen to the whole damn thing front to back!!!

Who freaking CARES if he could play over changes or not. He wouldn't give a shit, why should any of us? The fact is that he could play over changes, ever heard of a little ditty called Sleep Dirt?

Trapped is composed by Wayne Shorter on the cd label.

Yeah, it's in white Helvetica right underneatht he Blue Note label. I don't have it in front of me, so that might not be the exact wording and I am not finding a pic online here. It may have just been the pressing that my store received. But it did strike me as odd to see such a notation on a comercially available cd.
