Happy birthday, guy!

Maybe Dr. Lonnie will bring some grease.

Just learned of this biography, published in March. Amazon

Wow...great piece, ep1str0phy.

But the amazon.ca link at the top of the thread shows a 50-CD box and says "This title will be released on September 23, 2016." Perhaps they got it wrong and it will only be 25 CDs.

This one looks VERY interesting. Release date September 23. Amazon.

So there's a 50-CD box and a 25-CD box?

I like the Insect Trust record very much; even bought the Collectors' Choice CD reissue. It's much better than their first album on Capitol. I actually saw them open for The Mothers and Seatrain at the Fillmore East. Don't remember the drummer that night, but am sure it wasn't Elvin.

Listening now to 2/21/95, the last concert in the box. I approached this one with some trepidation, fearing it might be sad or pathetic. Rather, it's very strong, very lively, and very much up to the standard of the other concerts in the box. A lot of Garcia, both singing and playing. A great "Drums." All in all, a satisfying send-off. https://archive.org/details/gd95-02-21.dsbd.stephens.8840.sbeok.shnf

This is from jazzdisco.org: Miles Davis All Stars Miles Davis (trumpet) John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins (tenor sax) Gil Coggins (piano) Paul Chambers (bass) Art Taylor (drums) Long Island, NY, November or December, 1957 All Of You private tape Love For Sale - On Green Dolphin Street - unknown title -

Good luck! Hope all goes well.

I'm in. Prefer streaming, but can do DL.

Looks like Apple's been working on this: http://www.macworld.com/article/3093473/streaming-services/apple-improves-icloud-music-library-matching-ditches-drm-files-for-apple-music.html

SBD is soundboard (although that claim may not always be accurate) vs. AUD for a recording by someone in the audience. AUDs can be a lot of fun, since you're "in the crowd" and can hear the audience reaction - it's like you're there at the concert.

They continue to confound my expectations. The leadoff track from 10/1/94 (Help On The Way>Slipknot>Franklin's Tower) is amazing. 1994! https://archive.org/details/gd1994-10-01.mtx.seamons.95066.sbeok.flac16

There's so much out there...besides the "serieses" (DP, Road Trips, Dave's Picks, Download Series, the Vault series, complete Europe 72), there are the titles packaged for sales in stores: Fallout From The Phil Zone, Closing of Winterland, Nightfall of Diamonds, Dozin' At The Knick, Hundred Year Hall, Rockin' The Rhein, Sunshine Daydream, and lots more. Like Lon says, just dive in.

It's certainly imposing. Attractive, but full of stuff I'll never look at again. Here's a guided tour:

80.

Another thumbs up for Tommy Flanagan's Thelonica. And a big thumbs up for:

I've just started the 1994 show. It's been an interesting ride.

I have two concerts where Scarlet Begonias/Fire On The Mountain end the side: 5/13/77 (Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, IL) 5/3/86 (Cal Expo Amphitheatre,  Sacramento, CA) Good luck!

Review in WSJ.

I think it's simply the lack of new releases.
