The guy's practically a next door neighbor of mine. Thanks for the headup, both albums are now downloaded. Cheers,Robin
Enjoy, believe it on not I was wondering if you knew of him.

So far I have listened to pretty much the entire 10 disc set (I preordered the box set so I received a bonus disc of material from a show in Cincy on 12/4/73) and the sonics and music are excellent!! The song selection is outstanding and they are on each night.Each night has its own highlights:On 11/9/73 I really liked "They Love Each Other", "To Lay Me Down", "Brown-Eyed Woman", and "The Greatest Story Ever Told">"Bertha"On 11/10/73 I really liked "Stella Blue", "Brokedown Palace" and the "Loser">"Looks Like Rain">"Deal">"Mexicali Blues" run, "Weather Report Suite">"Playing in the Band">"Uncle John's Band">Morning Dew">"Uncle John's Band">"Playing in the Band" jam and it finishes strong with a "Truckin'">"Wharf Rat">"Sugar Magnolia" jam that is followed by "One More Saturday Night" and "Casey Jones"On 11/11/73 the band really shines with its best rendition of "Weather Report Suite" out of the three nights, along with a killer "Dark Star">"Eyes of the World">"China Doll" jam. Other highlights include "El Paso", "Loose Lucy", and nice finish with "Johnny B Goode">"We Bid You Goodnight"Highly recommended and worthy of its 5 star rating in Stereophile and 4 1/2 stars in allmusic.comGeorge
