ghost of miles

Dylan bootleg series binge continues.

Yes!!! Just pulled this out of my recently-purchased stack to resume listening.

I was going by what the note on the inner sleeve says. So apparently that's not accurate either? Not sure what happened with this new release, but it's clearly not right--track two starts in mid-performance and only runs for about 1:30 or so, though the listing on the CD gives the same running time as the one you've posted.

Any new chatter or hearsay reported elsewhere yet as to how many CDs this is going to be?

We just received a promo of this, the first official release from the Monk estate. Be forewarned that (1) there are no notes outside of a brief Q and A with T.S. Monk on the inner sleeve (2) "Epistrophy," a 9:45 performance, is badly truncated and runs about a minute and a half (3) it's a CD-R. Hopefully volume 2 comes out better. I'm sure some board members have previous unofficial versions of this concert.. might wanna keep 'em for the time being.

On board for this!

My vote's for the Decca 1935-46 set, followed closely by the Decca All-Stars box.

Revisiting a seminal moment from my early encounters with Ellington after a friend recommended this then-recent release:

Oh man, I loved Dr. Katz when it was on back in the mid/late 1990s, and the revolving cast of patients/stand-up comics was fantastic. Ray Romano was one of my favorites in that capacity. Classic scene: Jon Lovitz's The Critic is another good show from that same era.

I went to the archived game to watch the whole sequence of events unfold in real time, and he was definitely in discomfort afterwards.

I didn't get around to watching The Wire and The Sopranos until ten years or so after each show had ended its run. Loved them both and just recently began re-watching The Wire. Mad Men I did see while it was airing, and I'll be re-watching that one at some point as well. My best friend has been pressing me to watch Breaking Bad for a long time, and I've checked out some clips on YouTube, but it hasn't pulled me in yet. I'll likely watch it at some point, though, as it's so often grouped with the three shows I just mentioned as the Fantastic Four of cable TV's "golden age" period in the 2000s.
