Chris--I did the collage work in both cases--and in each case the 'photo' is made up from 4 discreet shots of the band... Back in '81 techniques were certainly cruder, mere scissors n glue! (also Cody helped tweak the Smart Bar digital collage work). Getting a good live photo that includes all band members is a rock photogs' holy grail (or should be anyway)--very hard to do,,,

I now notice that your headstock is missing in the Sonic Youth pic, but it otherwise had not occurred to me that it was four separate pics pasted together - nor that it would have been done back in '81, which should have been obvious! I retract my laugh.

The Smart Bar cover is also four separate images?! Incredible work, if so!

Now what can you tell us about the double vocal on "i love her all the time" lee?

Even Hendrix didn´t like that record, I think it´s fabulous, one of the best live records ever made!

I love Band of Gypsys...there's a boot called Box of Gypsys that has all 4 shows from those fillmore dates...I pretty sure nothing was changed to the music after listening to the shows from that...also the Band of Gypsys dvd doc has one of the shows on black and white early video...pretty cool.

Got this for Christmas today, listening now. Sounds really good! Quality is super nice... this may top the "Hold That Tiger" release... I remember getting that back in early high school, on a Christmas day also! hahaha... was stoked to hear some live SY, but I do think this tops it though. Hearing the extra vocal you guys are talking about on "I Love Her All The Time".... it is a bit odd.. but whatever, doesn't take anything away from it for me. This is awesome early SY... Bad Moon Rising is a long time fave of mine, one of the first SY albums I discovered and got really heavily into. This sounds delicious! Hope you guys are enjoying the holi-dazzzzzze

I think there exists also official release where is more material than the original vinyl...but I have only that original.

I love all my Hendrix-live records (Band Of Gypsys, Experience, More Experience, Isle Of Wight and Hendrix In the West). I have read Hendrix himself didn´t like his Isle Of Wight -performance, well maybe you can hear in his vocals he´s tired, but I think guitar playing is just pure magic). I have to buy some day Live at the Monterey, Live at Woodstock and that eighties Concerts-double-album.
