Flash problems with Firefox?
Dave Garrett replied to GA Russell's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Could be something corrupted in your profile, assuming you already tried the standard drill (rebooting the machine) with no joy. I'm using the latest production versions of both Firefox (41.0) and Flash, and have no issues with Flash videos. Check your Flash plugin to see what it's set to - I prefer "Ask to Activate" as I despise autoplay videos. -
Bob Dylan - The Cutting Edge - Bootleg Series 12
Dave Garrett replied to felser's topic in New Releases
An interesting analysis of what's on the 18-disc set from that other forum: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/bob-dylan-bootleg-series-vol-xii-the-cutting-edge-11-6.387120/page-86#post-13047097 And from Expecting Rain: http://expectingrain.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=85325 -
Are the Nat Cole Bear Family Box Sets still available?
Dave Garrett replied to vajerzy's topic in Offering and Looking For...
Given that the third-party seller is "EBRecords, Inc.", I'd strongly suspect that they *are* ebreggae, and the price before shipping is probably pretty close to their wholesale price. I haven't signed up for a wholesale account, but I know that a lot of people who aren't resellers have done so. They don't seem to really be doing much to discourage anyone from that despite the statement you mention. -
Erroll Garner’s “Concert By the Sea” as 3-CD Box by Sony Legacy
Dave Garrett replied to RiRiIII's topic in Re-issues
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/20/arts/music/erroll-garners-concert-by-the-sea-gets-a-new-sound.html Looks like previous speculation as to whether this new release was the harbinger of more to come in the post-Martha Glaser era may have been spot on.- 135 replies

Saying Goodbye to Coltrane
Dave Garrett replied to Dan Gould's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
So very sorry, Dan. Our dog passed away last year after a lengthy illness, and 12 years was far too soon for us as well. It always is. I've always loved Robinson Jeffers' poem in remembrance of four-pawed friends that have passed on. May it provide some solace in your time of grief. "The Housedog's Grave" By Robinson Jeffers I've changed my ways a little, I cannot now Run with you in the evenings along the shore, Except in a kind of dream; and you, if you dream a moment You see me there. So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door Where I used to scratch to go out or in, And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor The marks of my drinking-pan. I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do On the warm stone, Nor at the foot of your bed; no, all the nights through I lie alone. But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet Outside your window where firelight so often plays, And where you sit to read -- and I fear often grieving for me -- Every night your lamplight lies on my place. You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard To think of you ever dying. A little dog would get tired, living so long. I hope that you when you are lying Under the ground like me your lives will appear As good and joyful as mine. No, dears, that's too much hope: you are not so well cared for As I have been. And never have known the passionate undivided Fidelities that I knew. Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided . . . . But to me you were true. You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend. I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures To the end and far past the end. If this is my end, I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours. -

Ernie B's Reggae is the best place for US customers to purchase Bear Family sets. They don't appear to have the 1960-64 set in stock, but they do have the 1955-59 set, and it's $90 cheaper than the price on Bear Family's site: http://www.ebreggae.com/Home.asp?cookieexists=false&FFID=&X3LE=y&X3GE=&X3AE=y&X3RE=&X3ASE=&X3LSE=Bear+Family&X3GSE=&X3AID=&X3AAN=&X3QT=NewSearch&X3NU=&X3RON=&X3KS=y&X3SO=&SearchIDTxt=637571850R80848180S8290249&X3RY=&X3LR=&image1.x=0&image1.y=0&X3A=Nat+King+Cole&X3G=ALL&X3F=ALL&X3R=ALL&X3Y=ALL&X3PR=ALL&X3L=Bear+Family&radAllMusicd=on&radNewOrUsed=on&X3TL=a&X3LEL3=&X3GEL3=&X3AEL3=&X3REL3=&X3ASEL3=&X3LSEL3=&X3GSEL3=&X3AIDL3=&X3AANL3=&X3QTL3=NewReleases7Days&X3AL3=&X3FL3=&X3RL3=&X3RYL3=&X3LL3=&X3GL3=&X3YL3=&X3PRL3=&X3NUL3=&X3RONL3=&X3KSL3=y&X3LRL3=&X3EMIDL3=&X3CBFL3=&X3CBDL3=&X3ARTL=&X3LABL=&X3GENL=&X3RHYL=&X3SR=1&X3P=1&X3CARTCQ=no&ChkSFTxt=&RADBTxt=7&NROTxt=&SSFTxt=&SSSTxt= Even better, click on the tab labeled "Wholesale" and you can set up a wholesale account to get an additional discount as long as your order is over a certain value threshold (I think it's $50, which should be no issue for the majority of BF sets). -

Anybody Been To A Doc Severinsen Show Lately?
Dave Garrett replied to JSngry's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
He played here a year or two ago, and I had similar thoughts but wound up missing it. Every time I've thought that it might be the last time I get to see someone perform and still didn't go, I've regretted it later (Ray Price being the most notable example). I've heard unequivocally favorable comments from people who've seen Doc within the past few years - still had his chops and displayed considerably more stamina than one might expect from a performer at his age. Of course, things could've changed more recently, so YMMV and all that. -
The old Rhino hasn't existed for a long time. It's just another brand now, run by a skeleton crew after Warner laid off the majority of the staff in recent years.

Also not a box, but Kino Lorber has quite a few Blu-rays on sale at Amazon at discounts up to 55% off retail: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?studioid=280&page=1 On the list and likely of interest to some folks here is PARIS BLUES for $13.49.

I guess it's not a complete surprise that mistakes like this keep being made, given that the home video divisions of the majors have been cut to the bone. Many of the longer-tenured employees that had deep institutional knowledge are gone.

Read the Amazon reviews for this carefully before deciding to buy it. There's a long and complicated history surrounding THE FUGITIVE on DVD and replacement music cues. The previous, more elaborate "Most Wanted Edition" complete-series set was recalled upon initial release due to the incorrect music cues being used by mistake in many places, and then a "corrected" version was rereleased about a year later. Even after all that they still managed to screw up some of the music and had to ramp up a disc replacement program for customers who'd bought the rereleased set. You'd think they'd have managed to get this lower-cost, no-frills set right given the previous history, but apparently that isn't the case and there's yet another disc replacement program for it. If you're willing to jump through the hoops to make sure you've gotten the correct discs, then this new set can't be beat for the price.

Big Amazon sale the week of July 12
Dave Garrett replied to GA Russell's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I got emails from both Amazon UK and Amazon Germany this morning announcing this and urging me to sign up for Prime. Guess they're just blasting out emails to anyone who's ever purchased from them and isn't a Prime member in the respective countries. The free 30-day trial is a clear indication that this is all about getting more people to sign up as Prime members, figuring that once they've tried it, they'll be hooked, thus guaranteeing more recurring revenue for Amazon. -
I caught the tail end of tonight's show via an unofficial audio stream, and have seen a fair chunk of the Santa Clara shows via the various YouTube bits that have been posted. Gotta admit that I've found myself more interested in these shows than I thought I would be - I had fairly low expectations, but was intrigued by the idea of the "Treyful Dead" more than I ever was by any of the other post-Jerry attempts to resuscitate the band. From what I've seen, they've acquitted themselves as well as could have reasonably been expected, and one is definitely conscious of all the history that has gone before, knowing that this is likely the last time we'll ever see these guys onstage together playing these songs. It's really not any of that. That history and nostalgia might bring you to the shows, but the show tonight was just plain enjoyable. Trey was good; there was not enough of Hornsby's piano (there were problems with the mix). Bob's voice was pretty good tonight (considering), and Phil's was a little better. I also liked that they didn't play to nostalgia with their "greatest hits"; instead, we got a lot from Blues For Allah and out-of-left-field choices like Mason's Children. And I loved that the encore was Ripple (rather than, as has been trumpeted, Brokedown Palace - because of the tie-in with the "Fare Thee Well" theme). I was bopping in front of my computer. Hey, $30 - how can you go wrong? I've never understood the antipathy that many Deadheads have toward Phish. I can't claim a lot of familiarity with Phish's music, but from what I've seen/heard of Trey during these shows, he's been very good. I've only heard Help>Slip>Frank and Ripple from last night's show, and he was particularly impressive during Franklin's Tower. Just saw the setlist, and there's definitely a lot to like there. I bet they'll close Sunday's show with Brokedown Palace.

Has the bottom fallen out of the Mosaic market?
Dave Garrett replied to Dmitry's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Looking at eBay, there are two copies of the NKC set on CD with respective BINs of $899 and $999 and a sealed LP set with an opening bid of $750 and a $1500 BIN. But if you look at the completed listings, all of the recently sold copies of the CD set (at least the ones with visible prices - there are a couple of "best offer accepted" ones) are between $300-400. That would seem to indicate that the real market value is a lot closer to $300-400 than $600-700, significantly less than it was just a couple of years ago. -
RIP Dusty "The American Dream" Rhodes
Dave Garrett replied to Soulstation1's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Can't say that I do - I only remember print ads and handbills from the late 60s/early 70s advertising local wrestling matches that billed him as Wahoo McDaniel. I don't think I ever ran across a mention of what his real name was. -

Death of the iPod (Everyone's buying vinyl)
Dave Garrett replied to A Lark Ascending's topic in Audio Talk
I do not wear a watch, have not worn a watch since 1974, don't even own one now, and can still find a way to know what time it is when it matters. And if I ever do buy a watch, it's not gonna be from Apple You know what else goes on your wrists? Handcuffs. Speaking of which, I don't wear a wedding ring either, and have remained faithful for every day - and night - of my marriage. So when Apple comes out with their iCockring, I'll not be getting that either. Gotta admit to being mightily amused at the thought of Tim Cook or Craig Federighi onstage at a future WWDC exhorting the Apple faithful to "Imagine a Fitbit, but for your dick." On second thought (and after a quick trip to Google), I might have guessed that someone not only already had the same idea, but actually developed it: http://wgrd.com/oh-good-theres-now-a-fitbit-for-your-dick/
