Guy Berger Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'd guess this includes Antwerp and Paris, since these are the best-sounding shows from that tour. I wonder what will be on the 3rd disc. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 It is about time that Sony extended the "bootleg series" idea past Bob Dylan. The Dylan stuff is great but it is not like he is the only Sony artist that has great music waiting to see the light of day. The difference is that all the Dylan "bootleg" material was owned and recorded by Columbia (now Sony) (and I know there were some certain exceptions to this, such as the Witmark release, but by and large this is true). The Miles material may well be radio recordings, audience recordings, and the like, that were never in Sony's vaults. It'll be interesting therefore to hear the audio quality of what they'll be releasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Very cool! Though of course I was hoping for a larger box... What's going to be on the DVD? Wasn't there a 1967 European concert DVD inside the big Miles box? What concert was used there? Re: Bootleg Series: they did a pair of Johnny Cash sets, too - but they're fairly recent releases.

I expect we'll see the same DVD offered. It featured 1967 appearances in Stockholm and Karlsruhe. EXCELLENT DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are multiple sources for some of this Miles Davis material but between Sony and the estate of Miles Davis there must be a certain amount of unrelaesed material that the already own that could be made available commercially.

jazzbo Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 There are definitely hundreds of hours of live material that could be used in a series such as this may be. But. . . I'm not sure there's much that the family has, nor much that Columbia/Sony has the rights to, professionally recorded etc. They could put the four nights at the Fillmore that became Miles Davis at Fillmore out, uncut. That would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alankin Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 The CDs should include the following concerts, sourced from broadcast tapes: Rotterdam 10/30/67 Copenhagen 11/2/67 Paris 11/6/67 As for the DVD, it should be of the Stockholm and Karlsruhe performances but there might be a dispute over rights to one of the tunes.

Aggie87 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I understand it'll be 3CDs and a DVD. According to Amazon U.K. it's a Sony Legacy set. The cover is up on Amazon. The subtitle isThe Bootleg Series, Vol.1. There's also a Best Of CD being released at the same time Best of what? Do you mean a smaller, one disc version of the 3 discs in this set? Or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Kinda pricey for three discs but... I bet it's great. 3 discs plus 1 DVD -- and I'm betting the DVD will not replicate material from the CD's. Still a touch more that I'd ideally like to spend, but then again, what isn't.

Or something else? I hear that Concord is going to lease some of the material and release a collection called 'Miles Davis Bootlegged for Lovers'. One 35 minute CD, edited versions. I am waiting for Sony/Columbia to issue a bootleg series for early to mid 1970s Santana. I would love that, something like live stuff from the 'Caravanserai' and 'Borbeletta' eras. To me, Leon Thomas didn't really fit well with Santana, so 'Lotus' always felt like it could have been more, great as it was. Leon Patillo always seemed like the far superior fit to me.

king ubu Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Rotterdam (most recent radio broadcast on VARA in 2005): 1. Footprints [inc/fade-in] 5:42 2. 'Round Midnight 7:27 3. No Blues 13:09 4. On Green Dolphin Street 9:23 5. Riot 4:24 6. Masqualero 7:27 Older versions had an announcement and the full "Footprints".Can anyone who has the DVD from the big Miles box compare the setlists of the known parts of Stockholm and Karlsruhe? Here's what was on the Miles '67 Tree - is all of it on the DVD? Stockholm - 1967-10-31 1. Agitation > 2. Footprints > 3. 'Round Midnight > 4. Gingerbread Boy > 5. The Theme Karlsruhe - 1967-11-07 1. Agitation > 2. Footprints > 3. 'Round Midnight > 4. No Blues > 5. Masqualero > 6. I Fall in Love Too Easily > 7. Riot > 8. Walkin' 9. On Green Dolphin Street > 10. Gingerbread Boy > 11.

Guy Berger Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well, that would be very nice to have the complete Paris (including the first two tracks) - I don't believe that has circulated. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have it on pretty good authority that, although some of this has circulated in bootlegs, the source material for the box set are radio station tapes, and the sound quality is reportedly very good, much better than the bootlegs.

Ah, how interesting! I have three early 90's silver-disc boots (on labels like JazzUp, JMY, and a plain-label disc that I only now see is a CDR, though I've had it for at least 10 years), but only one of them is included in this new release! The three I already have are: Antwerp (28-Nov-67), Berlin (4-Nov-67), and Paris (6-Nov-67) -- so 2/3rds of this new release will be new to me! (To say nothing of the DVD, which I've had 10-generation VHS-copies for 20 years, and seen on Youtube.) Even if I already had all of it, I would have probably gotten one -- but I'd definitely be getting one, sooner or later.

The old boots I guess have mostly long been surpassed in quality by what's circulating among collectors/traders.Rooster: it will most likely be the Antwerp concert, not the Rotterdam (though that one's around in excellent quality, too).Rooster: it will most likely be the Antwerp concert, not the Rotterdam (though that one's around in excellent quality, too).I love how the forum doesn't display new additions to the post and then they're there twice...
