- those tapes are the greatest. i just wish the quality was better, but
- you can't have everything. i don't think i heard the 67 paris sets.
- i have the one that is later, i think in 69, with jack, chick, wayne,
- and dave.

- there isn't that much, i.e. with the bare bones quartet. about all you
- can do is make sure you have Water Babies, Circle In The Round, and
- Directions. I don't know what side Ascent is, but that is a beautiful
- ballad. The rest of the stuff is quite nice. You know it is from the
- Silent Way/Bitches Brew/Live-eviL period, but it isn't anything like
- any of that. I don't have it on vinyl,
- I had a friend of mine send me a cassette dub when I was still in
- Europe. So I never bought it on vinyl, and I am hoping they put it out
- on CD like they have with Circle In The Round. I haven't seen that even
- as an import, although I am certain it exists. It has a tune called
- Willie Nelson, the second of the 3 Miles' Nelsons. Can you name the
- other two?
