Nor do I. On the Berkley release, each of member of the quartet compliments each other rather well. I don't think anyone is over playing. Hopkins does the inro's on this set also and Garcia didn't cut him off. I am a fan of Hopkins, it was just weird (for me) hearing him do all the talking.

I got the JGB and Winterland set, also. The Berkeley set almost seems like it should have been called the Nicky Hopkins Band...Hopkins sure liked to do all the talking, which is fine of course, it just seemed that Jerry was sitting in with the band, though he doesn't play like he is just sitting in. And I know Jerry never talked too much on stage after the early 70s anyway. The music is great. I also like the tone of Kahn's bass on the Berkeley's set. Some years I don't particularly like the sound of Kahn's tone... The Winterland set of course great, some clunker notes and playing, but the

Phish definitely did not change the word to "black". The lyrics were much more clear in the Phish performance of Exile than the original album. I wonder if they had prompters...which of course is fine if they did.

Can you post the winning haiku? Thanks. That is a great prize.

I think I remember reading that some musicians (bass players?) did not want their names on the credit's because they did not want their name associated with the Doors. Am I right about this? I am sure this is not the case with Dallas Taylor and this new release.

Well if that doesn't get you in the holiday spirit, I don't know what will.

or show's over!

Agree, esp. about the keyboards on this song...at times keyboards gets lost in the mix when you are at the show.

Love the ending of BBN..

no video here, which is fine.

It's just the audio feed, right? There is no video feed on my computer.

Not too sure this is blasphemy in the least.

Joe Perry Project played the above two songs the night Tyler did his cameo.

I was thinking the same thing while I was reading that thread earlier today. While we are talking about Coltrane sets, I think I revisit Coltrane's Complete Vanguard Shows the most. Great set. allmusic link We should change the title of this thread to simply John Coltrane. Just a thought.

Complete Quartet Impulse Recordings Allmusic entry The quartet plays on A Love Supreme and the above set is the complete quartet recordings on Impulse. Definitely worth the purchase.

from Sun-Times gossiper Bill Zwecker When will bands learn...I guess that's why some performers just put their spouses/significant others in their band. Imagine if Twitter was around during the Beatles break-up.

As Analogman mentioned earlier, there is guy posting all the 71 shows over on bt.etree (he is up to the August shows). I am looking forward to those Keith fall shows, since I have only heard a few of them.

Saw him open up for Steve Earle this past summer- great set.

I checked the Thrill Jockey site - and it is out of stock. It wasn't all that much money (compared to other box sets). It is a great set, hopefully they will produce more.

That's one thing I like about the "new" way. It's nice coming home from a show and not smelling like an ashtray.

Do you mean's Dylan's Modern Times? I hate putting things in lists, but if forced I would put Love and Theft before Modern Times. It's great to see Modern Times in your top five, though.

I had that problem with a lot of Stones' songs. Now it's a bit easier looking up the lyrics on the internet. I have to listen the Phish show again to find out, my guess is they "mumbled" their way through it like Jagger did.

Prefix Wilco/Tortoise Review I was just in the 10 Best Albums Resulting from Uncle Tupelo Breakup thread and clicked on the Wilco/Tortoise UIC review on the Prefixmag page. Never heard of the term before yesterday and I though I was up to date on my Tortoise reviews. I have never seen that term applied to Tortoise before. I guess I must be behind in "critic speak".
