An enjoyable read. Thanks for that.

I only knew a portion of the story.

When I first heard a side off of one of Jarrett's live albums on the radio in 1975 from my old Sankyo receiver, I do not for the life of me know which concert it was. I could guess, but I will never know for sure.

I just knew I had to pick up a copy of his live solo album. How was I to know there were already two of them, one with four sides and one with six? [That's nothing, though - the Sun Bear Concerts has 20 sides.]

I am pretty sure - what with about 45 records or so of his, some with duplicates - that I have whatever I heard, and then some.

LAT was their third album, not the first.

"It has never been done. No one has put out a decent record 35 [years into their career]," vocalist Gibby Haynes tells Rolling Stone. "Well, except for Johnny Cash. But we're not Johnny Cash. It's gonna be a tough road to do a record that's presentable. It's really gonna be hard. … But given that, looking forward to it!"

Why, I can think of....

No, wait, he's right.
