I recently shelled out the dough for the three single DVDs. As cool as their videos are, I always end up disappointed that I don't enjoy them nearly as much as the music. Am I alone in this? I have to say that Vicarious is by far their best video to date and I very much look forward to checking out Alex Grey's gallery in Manhattan in the near future. Has anyone been there?

You could always just take a nap.

Is that the February 24, 1969 show?

It was removed.

Very cool.

Bought it yesterday. Saving it for when I have the time to take it in. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks! So, to be perfectly clear: the last minute sounds fine then?

Thansk for all the helpful replies, guys. Can those of you who own the Jimi Hendrix Experience 4 CD set please check this for me:

I sometimes buy mp3's to try stuff out. In the case of this box set, I was able to sample an entire track for 10 cents. This has helped me to confirm or avoid many recordings in the past so I do it. If I love it, I buy it. If I don't, I spend the money I saved elsewhere. I agree that the bitrates should be much higher. One of the things some sites are doing is offering higher bitrates for more money, which is better, but if you ask me, 192 should not be the minimum. I think 320 should be the minimum, as it's pretty damn hard to tell the difference between this and the original IMO.

Why not?

Thanks, I'll keep an eye open.

Another thought about "In the West." I found this download on a Russian site and they have quite a different tracklisting than what I have read elsewhwhere: In the West Anyone know what to make of this?

Do you notice a high pitched noise at the end (throughout the last minute of the song to be exact) of the live Red House from San Diego, 3/24/69? I bought a download of this from the 4 CD set to sample it and the noise at the end kinda ruins an otherwise superb performance. Just wondering if it's the 192 bitrate or perhaps a problem with the download? I assume you have this one, it was also on In the West. As for the box, I guess what I should have said is I have the first three studio albums, Band of Gypsies, Live at Woodstock and Fillmore 2CD. Does this box rate ahead of say the Blue Wild Angel Isle of Wight CD or the Live at Berkley CD? I know most of the In the West CD is in the box and the material is otherwise unavailable.

Could not find a Jimi thread after doing a few searches. I am very surprised to discover this, as I put him right up there with Zeppelin. I have been enjoying much of his live stuff lately and would like to ask those of you who have the 4 CD box set "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" (the one with the purple cover) just what you think of it? It's on sale at a local store (Virgin) for $40.

Another exception is Bright Eyes IMO. Why surprisingly?

Cool. I would learn Father and Son if I had the patience. (I prefer to just sing, as it's so much more fun)

Yes he is. One of the very great singer/songwriters.

To me, he doesn't so much as sing as do some kind of spoken word (yes at a lower pitch) on much of TSRTS. I found it annoying at first, but luckily this wore off. Indeed, his leg of the Led Zep table was certainly weak here, but the other three were so strong that the show remains enjoyable. (Pun not intended) For that reason, HTWWW is my preferred album.
