I had The Natives Are Restless on CD about 25 years ago — and I must have been pretty disappointed in it, because I apparently traded it off 10 years later before I moved to DC.

I kinda remember Natives looking INCREDIBLE on paper — but it never really clicking for me (like maybe it frustrated me SO much how it didn’t click for me, that I finally gave up on it). At least that’s my vague memory of it.

You say the entire Feb 18, 1966 Half Note recording is much better?? I may have to investigate.

BTW, I’ve only listened once to this first track from Silver in Seattle — and I have to say I’m a little nonplussed about it.

Seems like a lotta smoke, but maybe not much fire. Joe and Woody are blowing hard, but (maybe?) not really saying much.

One of the four tunes from 2/18/66.
