    Dave, thanks, and perhaps start with "Gone, Just Like a Train," from Frisell. I've likely told this story here before, but when I lived in Colorado I took piano lessons from a woman who often lived in Seattle, and when there she would hang out and jam with Frisell and Gary Larson of The Far Side fame.

    Jazz fans, please order a copy of "Data Lords" from Maria Schneider. The music and the packaging are phenomenal! It's not streaming anywhere, as Maria is a staunch advocate for musicians actually getting paid what they're worth. So buying it is a great way to get some of your stimulus money into the hands it maybe should have gone into in the first place.

    And I just got a note from our local jazz radio station (we're so lucky, radio-wise, here in The Cities), 88.5 KBEM (stream them--they have a show called Bluegrass Saturday Morning that's really fun); sounds like saxophonist Dave McMurray has put out a GD-themed CD.

    Made it through a lot of D1 of the King Crimson box set during yesterday's work-out. I'm warming to it, trying to let it be in a space occupied by the collision of Jethro Tull, Genesis, and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

    You got me to purchase A Portrait.. I'm all in.

    I hear from reliable sources that Dennis just pulled the trigger on the $1,750 Bill Frisell, every note ever recorded box set, CD and BluRay edition. (don't tell his wife).

    Special shout out to all of you here that keep things moving.. it's really interesting to check in and see what's happening.. interesting and I always learn something and broaden my horizons a bit. Many, many thanks.

    P.S. don't tell my wife about the BluRay purchase. I'd hate to lose the relationship capital I spent all summer building up with the big box set announcement looming.... It's the little things that trip us up and put us in the dog house.. Yes.. I too have am a bit of a completist, I am running out of space to put all this stuff..

    What The F(rizell)!!!

    Mr Ones - You are absolutely right, amazing how many of us here share the same tastes in sound, the great Bill Frizell among them. One of the gems I have in my Frizell collection is a DVD entitled “A Portrait”, which was done by I believe an Australian filmmaker, Emma Franz (I think I got it from her website). Excellent, lots of interviews with people he has worked with. I was able to get a used copy of his trio with Ginger Baker & Charlie Haden, should be good (Think about the universal forces that bring these three guys together???)

    I’ve always been Grateful to the Dead for being one of the groups that pushed me in the direction of jazz (oddly, I owe the same nod to Steely Dan) way back when, which opened up an amazing whole different world of music.

    Yet an hour later, I could play the Louvin Brothers, or the lovely Emmylou Harris, and love it.
    Music is the best, Mr Ones! Yes, indeed!

    Just read your post on that Jimbo. The timing is coincidental, because I just listened to the 2nd to last Dave's Picks from April '78, and noticed he was using it on Playing in the Band for a change. I don't recall hearing him using it on that one before. Interesting how they make they effect work. That's one of the reasons why we live in a special time for rock music IMHO. Not only did the music evolve enormously, but also the way it was created and recorded. Artists played a big role in developing new sounds in Production.

    I still have the entire Garcia library ahead of me pretty much. Uncle Gary sent his original copy of the box set to me a few years ago (the one where the CD bookends make a picture of Garcia's face when they'relined up in order in the case). I pull that one out once in a while so it stays fresh and magical. Thanks UG, hope you're reading. S&R should arrive tomorrow. Check your email for tracking. Maybe it will show up today; I went priority mail and you ain't that far!

    Before we leave the subject, if we haven't already, I should also say that the recent King Crimson live albums may be worth your looking into. The ones I have are "Vienna 12/1/2016", Chicago 6/28/2016, Meltdown Live in Mexico-2017. All feature material from all eras, and the band - starring the three drummers is knockout.
    I haven't got "Auto Diary 2014-2018" but it looks great, and is a 5 cd set with live material from each of the years covering each one of the 5 cds.

    Looks like I should check Bill Frisell out-the only one I have with him on is "Going Back Home" credited to Ginger Baker, which I don't think I've played for about 10 years!

    Frisell, Ginger, and You Guys

    So, with John Lennon & Miles Davis being deceased, this leaves Bill Frisell as my favorite living musician. He’s the ONLY guy I try to see EVERY TIME he is anywhere close to me. So, I am very biased towards him. The only thing I’ll say in his defense(because I don’t get the meh comment), is that you know it’s him within the first 3 seconds you hear. Talk about having a ‘tone’ or ‘sound’.
    I have 2 Ginger Baker cds w/Frisell in the band. As Dennis has found out, I’m not competent on digital anything, but I’d be happy to send 2 cd burn copies to a volunteer, who could distribute them digitally. Also, I would insist on including a copy of one of me favorite Frisell finds. A cd by Cuong Vu(played with Metheny)
    Which has Frisell all over it. It’s a Japanese cd i feel lucky to have found.
    Also, check YouTube!! There’s a killer live bit(maybe 45 minutes??) of the Baker/Frisell band live, and it is HOT!!
    If I were to guess, I’d say I have 60-70 Frisell discs, either as leader or band member, or guest. He’s done literally hundreds!!
    I am almost dumbfounded to see how many of us share similar likes and loves. Great minds think(and listen) alike. Keep it coming!!
    Oh yeah, and Dave’s 39 is getting REAL CLOSE!!

    Music is (still) the best!!

Yes, it all looks a bit odd. After logging on a box appeared asking if I wanted to translate from Russian!-despite the fact that the text still seems to be in English.
Then the format is different, and a message appears telling me I can no longer post new messages on the forum. So it will be interesting to see if this message appears.

So they can't even get a website update right. If I scroll down to below the 10 displayed posts so I can add a new post, I first encounter another version of the header text followed by a buttload of posts in ascending order starting with the original Vguy post #1. The avatars on these old posts are huge, so I can now fully appreciate the broken fragments of Vguy's glass. After this multitude of old posts I then come to where I can type this in, but the text box is wider than the screen on my mobile. Tragic really.

Edit: You're right SimonRob.. we get a close up view peoples Avatar's when we reply. It looks like someone went to town on VGuy's glass with a WorkingMan's Dead Hatchet!

Speaking of the hatchet.. it's the perfect weapon for an angry mob to wield and take over the vault. Just saying.. how many of us are there with these hatchets that have yet to see our favorite 1973 set of shows released? I'm not sure they thought this one through.

But the titles look better in bold than plain text.

The most recent site version didn’t show the post that you were responding to, whereas older site versions did show the post.
It’s helpful when you are typing a post and forget what you were responding to.

Edit:
The box that you type in is still really small on an iPad, hard to see what you are typing.
But the member photo is huge.
The web designer screwed up and switched which box was supposed to be large.

1) The old site was old and outdated.

2) The old site was overloaded with spam and needed a flush.

3) This site is now being hosted by Fancy Bear.

4) A revved up website is needed so that it doesn’t crash with the upcoming Box announcement.

I noticed half the gardening items are sold out. I started impulse buying for my kids who have a garden....

As I went on this spending rampage, I noticed there are fewer than 500 PNW box sets left. I wonder how many Winterland 1973 and 1977 box sets they produced? Because I was able to get both of those 5-6 years after release. Either they produced way more than 15K or some of these box sets are doing better than we think.

I have little to say, but repeating that phrase made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I get the feeling they will improve on the interface a bit.. (I hope). I am finding that except for PM's, which are a fucking train wreck, most of the functionality is ok. It's clear to me they outsourced a good bit of this, or we would not have gotten the "would you like to translate this page" bs.

But let's give them a chance to make good.

I feel a need to reach out to HendrixFreak. I hope he is not lost in the back country.

Ever since last week when you steered me toward that Jam on 6/6/70, I have been deep under cover of the night, searching low and high for 1970 soundboard treasures. I began with what I had but seldom visited: Dark Star 3/24/70. It goes straight into an equally mind-bending Other One. Send lawyers guns and money.

I have to agree - way to go Isles!! Any time Boston loses, it is a great day. A few good dust ups in the game too. I love the intensity of the playoffs.

@&&&*&$& you Marchand, ya Hemorrhoid!

Good luck today Vince, it should be a hell of a game/experience.
The only thing better than playoff hockey is live/in person playoff hockey!

Looks like it’s going to be Tampa, and what about those pesky Habs!
There is nothing like a hot goalie in the playoffs and Price is looking strong.
Hell, the whole teams playing well.
I know the league restructured etc, but how the hell is Montreal possibly playing the AVs or Knights in the conference final? Seems like they should be taking it to the Bs or Tampa? Weird...

Today’s games SHOULD be sweet, let’s hope the refs don’t ruin it...
Both games are big ones. If the Habs go up 3-0....
And If the Knights tie it up that series is going to 11! If the AVs win, they “should” be in the drivers seat. Chever way, should be a big, no “HUGE” day of hockey!
But until then, I need to find me some great sounding dead; mamas at work and I’ve been stuck listening on a iPad at work all week, I need a dose of real audio, sorry neighbors ; )

Just back from O-Wi-Yu-Kuts, mountains where Utah, Colorado and Wyoming meet... Lots of headroom out there. Working my way through a jar of psilocybin capsules... Not lost, not found. But pretty much coated in dirt after a few days. Back now, checking in on possible box news.

Keen to know whether the box-to-come is fall '72 or spring '69. Loving the latest Dave's, especially the Eyes at the end of first set, 9-8-73, my seventh show to see release. Only 68 more to go.

Cheers, HF
