That is a fine album. The closest thing I have in feel is Jimmy Forrest's Out of the Forrest album. Not the same instrumentation, but the mood is similar.

RIP

This is a variation of what I heard at the record store I used to work at. Two heavy glass plates, oven at 200 degrees. Never tried it, though. I have a couple that could use it...

I think this is still available on the King Crimson website. http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com Edit: and this box is quite awesome, as I recall. Great improv sections between my favorite KC tunes. Bill Bruford is all over that material.

I am quite certain I saw this in a used shop not long ago for $8.95. D'oh.

I hear ya... I can hardly believe it myself. Noel, the graphic designer told me that Revenant took considerable pains to keep the price very low. I asked if $85 was the wholesale price and he replied No.... retail. This would be great news, if it turns out to be true come October. Now, if you could just get them to drop the price of the Charley Patton set to $85, too... That's exactly what he and I we talking about on the phone the other day. My guess is: that was the impetus for the price change this time around. I'm as big a Charley Patton fan as anyone you know but that set was too rich for my blood. So I never bought it. I will, however, definately get the Ayler set. Especially after hearing the advance sampler. Wow.....! I felt the same way. I see copies of it gathering dust at the local record shop, and I think, "Man, How many discs could I buy for $174.99?" Great packaging, I'm sure, but wow is that a lot of bread. The Ayler OTOH, at $100 is more like it.

I did not realize that John Williams movie scores were big among the Kazaa set.

I hear he is from the New England "regian."

You should fill out their customer service form, tell them what your problem is, but do not offer to return the discs. I bet they will send you the right discs and let you keep the other two. Keep us posted!

There was a bit of chatter in the public radio industry about the lack of its use during 9/11. Like the original post says, if not then, when?

Is it this kind of party?

My copy came today. It feels like he has so much music in him just waiting to bust out. And that TONE!

At least it won't obscure my birthday wish this weekend....

I like this better than the original.

I just ordered it too!

AMG mentioned the manner in which this is being sold. They put it in the context of the Allman Brother's Live at Fillmore--this could be the album that everyone gets behind, but the dopes at Sony are making it only somewhat available to the public. Those poops.

True, but also check out the current version of the ABB. With Derek Trucks in the band they have the biggest jazz inflected sound in their history. Check out the recent live double disc, One Way Out- his solo in Desdemona is intense, free and extraordinary, to these ears. Ok, back to the Dead discussion...... They are coming to the Minnesota State Fair, and I am there with bells on! I am a huge Derek Trucks fan, so I can't wait to see them. After cruising around the ABB website to find who is currently in the band, i made my way over to Truck's website. The Derek Trucks Band has a new double live disc out, but it is only available on iTunes and via web order for the real discs. Bummer! However, it is a double for only $11.99, so I might have to make a birthday purchase on that one...

I, too am glad that someone started the Dead Thread. My taste for the band has always been quite narrow: I love the sprawling psychedelia of 1968-1970. I do not own any of the studio albums, just a couple of the legit live releases and several CD-rs of live material downloaded from various places. A couple of goldmines in particular: 4-22-69 The second set here is exquisite. The Mountains of the Moon transitions into Dark Star in a smooth, subtle way. Jerry jams at the end of mountains first on acoustic, and switches to electric, and finally moves into Dark Star for about 1/2 hour. 4-21-69 & 1-20-68 This is two shows, with the second being short, incomplete and filler. All that said, 1-20-68 is quite nearly my favorite. Clementine is the pinnacle of swirling psychedelic ecstasy for me. Other shows can be found at the main level of that site. Dark Star is my absolute favorite. I listen to Jerry's guitar playing and I try to figure out where all of the ideas come from. You can easily pass over some of it as noodling, and granted there were not always on, but much of that is pure beauty. I hear some of his bluegrass roots, but he brings something original to the table as well. Phil Lesh's bass playing during these years sound as if he is playing regular guitar on the bass, at least part of the time. It is as if he is not part of the rhythm section, but rather part of the front line. Live / Dead is a fave!

How about: Never argue with an idiot. Bystanders might not be able to tell the difference between you.

If I dontae a BUNCH of money can I get some preferential treatment?

Eddie Costa Complete recordings as a leader. Let's have it, Mosaic. -The Quintet LP on Mode -House of Blue Lights on Dot -half of that LP with Rolf Kuhn/Mat? Matthews -Eddie Costa with Vinnie Burke Trio on Jubilee -A Pair of Pianos with John Mehgan and Vinnie Burke -Guys and Dolls like Vibes which has been reissued domestically Surely that is enough for at least a Select? YEs?

They assumed that someone actually wants to copy that Velvet Revolver CD.

100 gig of storage? Wow.
