I also just received this and agree that the 2nd concert is not as vital or as well recorded. But I paid about $16 for the 3-CD set, so very happy with hit. Not for audiophiles, but the sound does not detract from the enjoyment, it's fine for the rest of us.

Paired for you for under $15 by the good folks at BGO

for some. History for others, Old School for yet others.

Did some additional investigation, and it is not a bootleg, it is this: (all I have is a burned disc, no packaging, no song titles on the disc data). Most convincing thing I've heard by this group (and I need to track down a legal copy now).

A private recording of Chick Corea/Circle in concert, and it's stunning, great fidelity and more "inside" than when they went off on the Braxton equations, er, compositions, though still very adventurous.

To be on your owwwwn.

Ditto.

Isn't it strange being 77?

I can live without the Geffen period, but the return to Warner/Reprise brought some great work, and much of it remains officially unreleased. "Rockin' In The Free World" is my all-time favorite Neil Young, and one of my all-time favorites, period.

It's a great set.

copied/pasted from superdeluxeedition.com: Neil Young sets a date for Archives V2 October 17, 2018 by Paul Sinclairtags: 1970s, 1980s, Neil Young Nine years after volume one was issued Neil Young has set a date for the second volume of the Neil Young Archives. In response to an enquiring fan in the ‘Letters to the Editor’ section of his NYA Times-Contrarian section of his website, Neil had the following to say: “May 2019 the NYA V2 CDs and a separate book by Toshi Onuki will be available. Blu Ray is no longer viable for economic reasons. NYA can give you what the blu ray had though, including Hi Res audio. Thanks NY.” The Archives Vol. 1 1963–1972 was issued on three formats: CD (eight discs) and DVD and blu-ray (10 discs apiece). From Neil’s statement it seems clear that both hi-res/video formats have been scrapped and he will concentrate on his new online archives for audiophile quality audio. Volume 2 is expected to span 1972 through 1982.

$24.85 + $2.99 shipping direct from importcds.com. I cancelled my Amazon pre-order ($34.19) and went with this.

Gypsy Folk Tales actually has Walter Davis rather than James Williams, but it is a wonderful album.

Thanks Lon, nothing new then.

Serious question - is that true of the Blakey/Messengers "Hold On/ I'm Coming" album? I've never heard that one, always stayed away because it was 11 cuts, 9 of them "hits of the day" 2 or 3 minutes long.

That's a pretty good description of 1977 vs. 1967 in general. Very different albums for very different times. I wouldn't want to be without either album, but there isn't much else from 1977 rock I need, where I need hundreds of other albums from 1967 rock.

$34.19 pre-order on Amazon.com, also attractive.

Well, Wynton was like 18 when he joined that band and did some great trumpet playing with them before he saw the $$$, er, I mean, light. The semi-bootleg "Live at Bubba's" trilogy is freakin' fantastic, and this one pretty well lives up to its title. BTW, I'm neither dead nor rich, though I'm also not undead or poor either.

Yep. Watson did some great writing for that group - "Time Will Tell", "Wheel Within a Wheel", etc.

Me, I'm a cat person. I like other people's dogs OK sometimes.

Don't miss that 1963 Newport "My Favorite Things", or the "Live at Birdland" album from later that year. McCoy Tyner was on fire during that stretch.

All three cuts came out on other CD's

Not all of Selflessness was recorded in 1963. The title track was from 1965. So I guess you get the two Newport cuts (including his greatest "My Favorite Things"). No idea why I would want this release, pure duplication (and I'm not a fan of the Hartman sides, though of course I own them). OTOH, if "missing" Birdland cuts show up, count me enthusiastically in, but I can't see that happening at this late date...
