Dave, quite a bit of that episode with the Dead has been on youtube. . . not sure if it's still there. Quite interesting to watch. Not sure I notice any dosing going on. On camera, at least. . . .

While I may not be that crazy about the Lerner and Lowe, I really do like the Chets. They sound good too. I ordered 35 more. . . to replace lps, and K2s I'd never had though I've got the regular editions. I couldn't help myself! THEY'RE BEING DISCONTINUED!

But Labelcopy is my favorite Lee Konitz album.

I'm a new iPod 60GB owner. And I've been using iTunes for a year plus. . . I think iTunes is a GREAT music program. The best sounding to my ears is the Apple Lossless format. But there's not a whole lot of difference if you're not using great headphones or great powered speakers, etc. Apple Lossless also takes up about ten times the file space of some of the other formats, so use the other Apple MP3 format. It's good enough sounding. GET A CASE! I have an "InCase" case that has a strong belt clip and fits really tightly over the iPod and really makes it "safe." It is still easy to use the iPod in the case so that's a big plus. I think there IS a car converter. . . not having a car I haven't looked closely at that. Have you checked out the pages on apple.com ?

Me too. That McLean K2 is worth getting. As are all the Monks.

Got my order in yesterday, complete. Wish I'd ordered a few more.

Matthew, it's a steal at this price. I think the sound is good. Comes close to being very good.

Just an alternate of the Hombres track. For a few minutes I thought it was also some of the previously unreleased material that appeared on the cd of "I Don't Care Who Knows It" and is now on the Select, but no it's not.l

Wow, I'm almost 51. Suddenly I feel YOUNGER! Thanks! Many more happy ones!

It was a Japanese RVG and it was a US cd as well. You can buy a copy on half.com last time I looked. EDIT: Just looked and it's not available currently, someone bought the copies I saw a few weeks ago. The US cd had extra material. Show a little respect chewy. . ."stop bein' a litle bitch" is so childish. . .oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to.

I went with tonal>dynamics>soundstage. My current speakers are tonal and soundstage champs. . . my room seems to limit the dynamic presentation, but they do better in another room, but that's not my dedicated listening room (I'm a lucky man to have a room for my own pursuits). I think every part of the chain is very important. I've spent about the same amounts on speakers and amps and source. (Mine are all from decware.com for my main system; I have a B&O system that I inherited for second system, not a bad TV/stereo system). I was a musician in a former (single) life. I actually have done some location and "studio" (if you can call a garage apartment a studio!) recording as well.

Here's how I remember it: The two volumes of both versions collectively have the same material, but they may not be identical volume to volume. . . . The newest are the RVGs and I think these are among the very best sounding RVGs there ever have been.

Yes, that's possibly right about the Concord box. . . I don't have it. I thought differently though, that the Concord reproduced tracks that were on a Japanese Yadeon cd called. But I haven't looked at or listened to my copy of "Miles Tones" on Black Label in a long time. (And it's in Austin, and I'm in Houston, so I can't do a quick check).

What I want to know is. . .where are the estates in all this? Is this their way of presenting the boots Zappa style? eMusic also has some surprising Miles offerings.

To my knowledge none of the tracks on Miles Tones appear on that second disc of the Columbia "deluxe" reissue mentioned above (that second disc is all one concert, from Pasadena).

Kevin, you show how much your dad instilled in you, how much of him lives on in you, how much the love you share defines you. I'm sad for the loss your family must feel. Best wishes to all.

Started reading Carol Brightman's "Sweet Chaos: Grateful Dead's American Adventure." 'Sgood so far.

Okay that explains it. When I first got this iBook realplayer really f'd up the works. I purged and holywatered it, thoroughly. Don't want to invite disaster by inviting it back. I'll wait until I return to work (might be soon, for a spell). Thanks as usual Doc.

Shazam!

"Sweet Chaos: The Grateful Dead's American Adventure" by Carol Brightman. So far, me likey.

I think we may see repackagings in smaller sets. . .the Red Garland material. . . the leader dates MAYBE all under one cover. . . perhaps all the big saxophone jam sessions in one. . . as time goes by. This may be a route that Concord intends for the catalog in general, and judging by their successful (imo) first efforts, I say let 'em.

Cool. I can't even figure out how to stream on archive. Good to know. . . maybe they'll make these available one day. Thanks!

No, they're not, I have about half or more of this material on cds from JSP, King Jazz, RCA, etc.

I know what you mean Flurin, I like all that stuff too. I've come to like almost the entire series.. .. .. only the Grapelli/Peterson ones are not yet in my library. . . I just haven't been moved enough by Grapelli for some reason to grab them, but I will likely one of these days.

I placed an order for one of my overseas friends from our community tonight and it was 5860. My order last Wednesday afternoon was 5559, so a little over 300 orders in about a week. Seems like most of those literally would be from this community. I posted a link to this at an audio forum and that generated some orders. I bet that there are many others ordering besides the fish in this little pond.
