Thanks, Romualdo!   

I actually downloaded at lot of that first session somewhere online.  I can't remember where.  I don't have any of the second session, where I presume the pending Giant Steps and Satellite are coming from.

Here's hoping for as complete a box as possible. I am not excited about buying excerpts, only to have a larger set issues a year later.

It would be interesting to hear (among others) "Equinox," "Mr. Syms," "Body and Soul," and "Spiral."

I guess some of these were cut off..."Spiral at 1'47."

What's interesting is that the newly announced Giant Steps and Satellite are quite a bit longer than the versions mentioned in the Coltrane reference... So if it's the same gig, it's a better, more complete tape... (If you think about it, it's actually strange that all tracks mentioned in that entry are marked incomplete, maybe this is some sort of edited version that made it into the reference)

Good point. I think I only have three copies of the original 'A Love Supreme' on my shelves (Complete Quartet box, complete Impulse Albums box, expanded version with the Shepp/Davis outtakes and the Antibes live ALS).

I also have most of the first recording (which circulated as a bootleg), but I don't have the second recording at all, the one that includes Giant Steps and Satellite. If Tiberi recorded the second one, were there other taper(s) in Philadelphia besides Tiberi at the time? (I can't recall the name, but I remember hearing there was one). The sound quality of the first recording is terrible, so I hope the second one is at least a little better.

I just re-listened to the first recording.  While sound is indeed terrible at the very beginning, it gets significantly better.   Loud audience voices are the primary distraction.   The music is fantastic.
