Without knowing what's going to be on the set, that's kind of hard to answer, but this one is a good document of where Rivers was at at the beginning of the period in question:

One of Murray's better early albums, I think.

Tia Carerra Teo Macero Maceo Parker

I bet Brian was phoning that violinist in the back row.

I'm afraid I'll be creeped out and not be able to listen to the music...I mean, ok, eye drops, cool. But eye lotion? I dunno... I got a thing about my eyes, especially now that they ain't worth a damn... And I'm actually semi-serious about this.

I just noticed...is that a mask on the mike stand?

Mr. Swede is on a roll! Anybody ever heard that Carol Ventura side? http://www.jazzdisco.org/prestige-records/catalog-7400-series/ PR 7405 Carol Ventura - I Love To Sing! Carol Ventura (vo) Benny Golson (arr) unidentified orchestra London, England, June, 1965 Please Somebody Help Me I Want To Be With You No Man Since You Looked At Me Alone In Another Town Thunder And Lightening Anything Goes Quite Room Born I Won't Ever Forget You Again The Old Lady Thread Needle Street Wait Till You See Her

Not necessarily true...it's a personal principle of mine that if I "find" or "get" something, and really get something meaningful out of it other than a few minutes "diversion", then hell yeah, it's mandatory to buy a real, in-print copy. But bootlegs, now let's see...a bootleg is something that by definition is not available commercially, so...how can you buy a legit copy of it? One doesn't exist? Worth noting that a few labels (Blue Note, columbia) have had moderate success legitimately issuing previously bootlegged material by offering superio context and content. The Miles @ Birland thing is an excellent example. Mr. Barnett's concerns are real, but the problem is not with the initial processes of "sharing", it's the post-experience behavior of those who benefit from it. You can either realize that this new "freedom" comes with an equally increased need for personal responsibility, or you can just go on and think that hey, this is cool, feed me, bitch. In other words, you can't put the genie back in the bottle, but you can determine whether it's going to be useful or whether its going to be a scourge.

I think the theatre of one guy endlessly complaining about other people endlessly complaining is pretty damn funny, in a late-20th/early 21st Century kind of way.

That the music is essential goes without saying, but WTF was Lucidin Eye Lotion?

I've seen him finish more than once...hard to say which outcome makes me more uncomfortable...

I would have to say live recordings since that was what that club was all about. Well, yeah, but "Studio Rivbea days" could be taken literally (although then "nights" would probably be even more accurate...) or as a designation of a general "period", in which case there's still plenty of previously released studio material that would make a good set as well. But make no mistake, unreleased live stuff is more than fine by me!

Studio Rivbea? As in unreleased live recordings?

I enjoy it too, but only up to a point. I'm (too often) a heavy eater myself, so I know what it feels like to push yourself past the point of being as full as you even want to be, and I tell you, it's not a good thing to do, physically, morally, or spiritually. I've learned how not to do that, but too late, as I'm now at a weith that's too much for my own good, and I've been able to lose only so much of it before plateauing out. 285 and 6'1" is far from the worse you can be, but it's not anything to be complacent, much less happy, about either. Gluttony, that's one of the "Seven Deadly Sins", isn't it? There's a part of me that feels like this show is classic "seducytion by the devil", making something that most of us know is wrong appear "entertaining", and therefore letting us "drop our guard", self-discipline, whatever. Ok, moralizing over.

Thanks, got it, but is the order any different now? Becuase I was just going to use what I had, delete all the tags, and hit it fresh. Trust me, w/my memory these days, it ain't no big deal...

I bet that rogue black hole took the stripe away.

Hey, Mister Blackhole...
