Whenever I see some major band mention the "collector community" I always think of shadowy people lurking around darkened corners. Almost sort of a Men In Black deal.

This morning:

Here's my latest thing to play if I had a show: Sunset Love - Winter's Day

He is probably too tied up with his radio show. I also wonder when the new Trigger Hippy album will come out.

Almost:

I think the songs from the new album are better live. I have to not been able to get into the new one all that much.

Exactly. I suppose there are all sorts of fantasy Beatles 1970 tour lists out there.

I guess that is all they had then - the side speakers. I suppose when I think of monitors I think of the front wedge monitors. I know there are also photos of Hendrix out there with such things sitting on a chair on the side of the stage. And Monterrey Pop - as seen int he film. I am curious about this Buffalo Springfield claim. I am thinking also that you can see such things in the Rolling Stones 69 tour film. I suppose for Dylan - the tour in 1974 must be the first time he had the use of a modern sound system.

I think that is right. There is a bunch of talk about this in the GD Gear book.

This is interesting:

I think I have always read or heard that sort of this did not start until after Woodstock. I see that is not true. It must have come along at some point in the 60s.

I suppose we have to remember there was no sort of soundboard or monitor system back then. They probably could not hear themselves very well. I think the first time I recall seeing such a thing was little speakers on the stage at Monterrey Pop. There must be some sort of book out there that gives the history of such things.

Alan White is currently out of the band also.

Yea - they could have put Down By The Seaside or some other track on there instead.

That's interesting. I would think he was probably pretty strung out during that tour. I think as time (decades) go by I just prefer acoustic Dylan more than whatever else he does.

I think it has always been my favorite one. It could be partly due to the story behind the making of the album and the mysterious wheel artwork. I am glad to see (hear) that the squeaky bass drum pedal has been left intact on the newest remasters.

October 5th 1970 Still my favorite LZ album

I walk by the place where I bought that and hundreds of other cds everyday. It is now an apartment rental office. Totally weird.

Holy hat - that was released in October 1998.

Plus I am a weirdo and actually prefer the acoustic set over the electric set.

I was wondering about that when I first saw it mentioned. I don't know if I will bother buying that 2 disc version or not. I am thinking I won't if the set list is the same as the release from a few years ago.

Oh I meant another band. I just didn't want to say who. Also the Hendrix Estate has been doing this for years.

I wonder about all of that also. I suppose there are a number of Dylan obsessives out there that could track down a 50 year old cassette tape. I was reading the comments on a torrent once on Dime a Dozen. It turns out a member of the band in question does indeed grab the shows, messes with them, and then sells the shows.

I find that sort of shady selling AUD shows. I wonder what they were recorded on? A dictation machine? Of course they are not the first to do such things.

That's it.
