Considering I have so much more music like JJ than Anita, I'm leaning towards O'Day, but both are pretty pricey. I might not be in the running for either, right now. I'll have to do some thinking on this one. Even though AO is on Last Chance, I don't think it's going to disappear as fast as Byrd/Adams did, if only because of the price.

DAMN! No way I could afford both JJ and O'Day. Might have to pick just one.

...no, I made it to Amoeba. A friend was doing an in-store there, so we hung and I picked up a couple of things. Great store. ← Did you happen to be there on Wednesday? This from the gossip column in today's Chron: Tim Sullivan tells me that Robert Plant, formerly of Led Zeppelin, went shopping at Amoeba Music on Haight Street on Wednesday. The store's Naomi Salazar confirmed this, saying several folks from his record label who accompanied him kept their eyes on him from afar, allowing him to browse alone. When one Amoeban sang one of Plant's songs in spontaneous tribute, the rocker smiled and said he couldn't sing it himself anymore. Plant bought what was described as "a lot'' of music, told workers he liked the store, and then went hippity-hopping out to Haight Street.

So, Chuck, you see no redeeming value in this show?? Looks to me like they're putting together a blowing session in the spirit of the original concept (whether that was ultimately successful or not). You gotta admit, the original lineup was very promising ... and so is this.

Wow, didn't know there WERE that many! Which of them do you consider the standout discs? ← I had no idea there were that many, either. I've got 4 LPs and 1 CD.

So, no music, CD shopping......nuthin'??

Here's the official lineup of this show at Yoshi's: September 1 - 4 Night of the Cookers Billy Harper, James Spaulding, John Hicks, Charles Tolliver, David Weiss, Roy McCurdy

Uh, Trane........I think SS has already come and gone.

Mid-upper 70's today and very little wind. Where's the FOG??????????

SF Currently: 73° ... but no fog today - bummer.

I had thought that they used the name "The Doors of the 21st Century" to get around that problem. I guess it didn't work ...

SF has its own climate because of the fog. Usually 10-20-30 degrees cooler than the rest of the greater Bay Area.

Come on out HERE! Heat not a problem.

It can be downloaded from eMusic, if you are interested in MP3s.

"Amsterdam After Dark" is an excellent album.

Classic, mid-summer SF weather. Mid-60's........foggy. THAT'S why I live here.

I just upgraded to the eMusic Plus Annual subscription which is 65 tunes for about $12/month. Seemed like a worthwhile upgrade for not much more money. As far as searching by # of tunes, just download as much of an album you can and then finish it off when your month rolls over. At least that's what I do.

I've got "Slugs" (vinyl & CD) and "Tokyo" (CD), so it will be interesting to see what additional material is included. I'd hate to buy all this stuff again, but we'll see what the final box looks like.

Definitely a surprise album for me, too. I downloaded it a year or two ago from eMusic. Very solid!

There's this: "... includes never-before-seen versions of "Foxey Lady," "Message To Love," "Hey Joe," "Spanish Castle Magic," and "Lover Man ..." The fact that they are totally re-editing would be enough for me at this point.

Definitely a great CTI album. "Red Clay" should be in your collection, too.

"... to restore all of the existing film footage from Hendrix's legendary Woodstock performance. This new edition was entirely re-edited by Jere Huggins, one of the original editors of the 1970 Academy Award winning Woodstock documentary. Huggins worked extensively with Experience Hendrix's Janie Hendrix and John McDermott, as well as noted Warner Bros. film restoration specialist Bill Rush to incorporate a variety of previously unseen camera angles and coverage."

I think I'll white-out the number on mine and write in "Reviewer Copy".

"You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. 2 - The Helsinki Concert" has some pretty smokin' stuff on it. It's all one show with the George Duke/Napolean Murphy Brock band - which was one of his most entertaining and talented lineups (see "Roxy & Elsewhere")
