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")

2 1/2 hours to go and Larry Young is up to $460.00!! Mosaic Box Complete Blue Note Recordings of Larry Young

I have that set. It is just guitar solos, so if you are looking for something more, it might not be for you.

Sure, Lon. I knew you would be interested. FWIW, Jimi's Woodstock appearance has never been one of my favorites, but being able to see a different edit job on the film may change my mind. The original film was so frustrating, with all the super-closeups and endless shots of the emptying fairgrounds, that it was hard to enjoy the performance. So now that they have gone back to the orignal film and re-edited everything it should give us a whole new take on it.

This looks like it's well worth picking up! EXPERIENCE HENDRIX TO RELEASE JIMI HENDRIX: LIVE AT WOODSTOCK [THE DELUXE EDITION] ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2005 SOURCE: Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. DATE: July 14, 2005 SEATTLE, WA (July 14, 2005) - Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. in association with Universal Music Enterprises is pleased to announce the release of Jimi Hendrix: Live At Woodstock [The Deluxe Edition] on September 13, 2005.

Where 1994’s original VHS [and subsequent DVD] release of Hendrix’s Woodstock performance ran for only 57 minutes, Experience Hendrix has teamed with Warner Bros. 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. Rush has been involved in the careful, critically acclaimed restoration of many classic films, including Public Enemy, Casablanca, and Out Of The Past. The result is a frame by frame digital restoration that presents Hendrix in vibrant color and detail. In addition to the full-length feature Live At Woodstock, this deluxe two DVD collection features a multitude of special bonus features including: THE ROAD TO WOODSTOCK A new documentary featuring Hendrix performance footage and new interviews with Woodstock promoter Michael Lang, and Hendrix band members Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, Larry Lee, and Juma Sultan among others.

A Second Look features uninterrupted footage of every performance featured on DVD One in its original performance sequence. In addition, A Second Look presents never before seen video footage of “Hear My Train A Comin’”--a performance missed by the film crew and presented here for the very first time. JIMI HENDRIX PRESS CONFERENCE: Filmed at Frank’s Restaurant, Harlem on September 3, 1969 two weeks after Woodstock.

Good start here. I would also add "One Size Fits All" (similar style to "Roxy") and "Waka/Jawaka" (similar, mostly-instrumental, jazzy style to "Grand Wazoo"). "Hot Rats" is generally considered one of Frank's masterpieces, so you really can't go wrong with that one, either.
