skeith Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I got mine today and am playing Disc 1 - sounds great. Have to agree with Chuck and others about there not being a good place to store the booklet. Also, I did not receive an invoice in the package, which is odd because I usually do. How do I know what I was charged...or do I have to wait until I get my credit card statement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chuck, I did order from Amazon and did print an invoice when I placed the order, but given all the price fluctuations and given that some got refunds, I wasn't sure that was the final price, but it does not seem to have changed in the week since I ordered.

DukeCity Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I've been checking this out, and (needless to say) it's some truly amazing music. It's interesting to watch the band perform and see how Miles communicates to them both musically (like the way he leads Tony into the half-time feel on Agitation) and non-verbally (like when he puts his finger up to his ear to tell the guys to listen more carefully). And the occasional intense "Miles glare"........ Also interesting to hear the similar setlists played very differently from night to night (much like on the Plugged Nickle sessions). Best thirty bucks I ever spent! Ahhh...you're killin' me here! Got my shipping notice a couple of days ago, but the estimated delivery date is the 29th! I guess I'm not so good at that whole "delayed gratification" thing. (Insert "blah, blah, blah...first wife" joke here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWayne Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Great music but lousy packaging! I had the same problem as everyone else when I opened the shrink wrap and the booklet fell out. Luckily I caught it before it hit the wet sidewalk. (note to self: wait to you get home before playing with toys). Minor issues aside, the music is absolutely sublime. Does it qualify for reissue of the year since it was technically never "officially" released? LWayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 IIRC I read one review that said Miles stopped using a mure after 1965 but I notice that he carries a mute on stage with him in both tv shows even though he doesn't use it. BTW There's at least another 3 cds worth of material readily available from 1967 including the rest of the music from the concerts that were filmed. I've heard/seen most of this music before (not the Paris concert, but everything else) but somehow it seems even better to me on this release. Maybes it's the sound quality or maybe it's just my excitement about the release. And am I right that none of it is in stereo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) It may have already be mentioned on this thread, but the Paris concert includes two tracks that were not on the JMY No Blues release: Agitation and Footprints. The whole of disc 2, which contains these two tracks and the Copenhagen concert, is new to me. Edited September 23, 2011 by John L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'm in the middle of Disc 2.. and it's great but I have two questions.. Isn't Ron Carter's bass very hard to hear??? And how could they not even FIND a damn place for the liner notes???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how could they not even FIND a damn place for the liner notes???? The bass is pretty soft at times, I had to boost it in the EQ. Same with the DVD.

BFrank Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Picked it up today. The packaging IS pretty cheesy, but I'm sure the music will make up for that shortcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Mine surprised me by showing up today. Wow. Great sound. I can and will live with the packaging. Bring on Vol. 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Not just reissue of the year, but "issue" of the year, period. I think so too.Wow. Great sound.

Chuck Nessa Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I love the music but resent the "fuck 'em" packaging. I think we deserve better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 To be honest the only part of the packaging I don't like is the booklet being orphaned, without a home inside the case. Sucks, but I like the packaging otherwise. Not much to the notes, I'll probably put them in a cabinet somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 To be honest the only part of the packaging I don't like is the booklet being orphaned, without a home inside the case. What cracks me up is to the right of where the songs are listed there's the red half moon that looks like where the space for the booklet was meant to go, had they made a pocket for it. The fact that they picked this era, and not just one show, and not just one DVD, has me excited that there will be more great things to come. Maybe they actually paid attention to that Legacy poll they had last year (or the year before) where one apportioned votes amongst proposed projects.

GregK Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Anyone else pick up the error in the notes? There's a reference made to Shorter's AUTObiography, "Footprints". Pretty sure he didn't write it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
