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.

I think there is going to be a single release also. I may get that.

One of those shows takes place 5 days after I was born. Interesting.

I listened to the stream. My first thought was also Time Out of Mind. It's not something I would buy. I doubt Mr. Bear would go for this:

Bob Weir - Blue Mountain (legal NPR Stream - whole album)

I am actually am not very familiar with Phish outside of a few songs I like. I watch live videos from time to time. I think the only album I have is the Slip, Stitch and Pass live album. I have read more about the band than listened to them.

The work of Bob Ezrin.

Just my 2 cents, of course.
