When the Christmas leg of the tour officially starts, I hope a couple of songs from the first Christmas releases are included in the set list, in addition to material from 'O Christmas Three'.  'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' and 'Little Drummer Boy' were played on the earlier tours - both outstanding arrangements.  I hope they are included. Have to include 'My Favorite Things' from 'O Christmas Three'.  I think I like it more everytime I listen!See More

First, thanks for the new release! I have listened to the cd 3 times and here are my initial thoughts:'My Favorite Things' jumps out. A great song on its own. Solid arrangement, good dynamics, really like the persussion, very strong horn chart. Very smooth vocal by RL.  My favorite cut on the CD. One question - at the end of the song there appears to be a flute solo over the instrmental ending - but it is way back in the mix?  Anyone else notice that?'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' -…See More

If you haven't watched/listened to the 'Max Sessions' in the Premium Access area - I highly recommend it.  When "You're The Inspiration" was initially released - like many longtime fans - I was wishing something else had been released.  The current arrangement is terriffic. A song that was not a favorite - now is a favorite. Lokking forward to more treats on premium access!  The band sounds great throughout the show!

Here is a start of a wishlist of songs to be posted to the Soundboard Recordings section for download. I will try to make this realistic and include songs that have been played on recent tours: Street Player - Current TourWake Up Sunshive - Current TourYou Are On My Mind - 2009 Tour?We Can Stop The Hurtin' - Spring 2010 TourBaby What A Big Surprise - Since it is being played on the current tour.Along Comes A Woman - Current TourA Hit By Varese - Was played in an early 2000s TourStone Of…See More

Are there plans to post new Soundboard Recordings?  Love the ones that have been made available. Is there any update on when the new DVD from last summer will be released?  See More

I am very glad that Live in '75 was released. I have seen posting that the approx $40 cost is too high. My perspective is this is a bargain at $ 40. To get a new - previously unreleased - quality recording from the 70s era - I think $ 40 is by no means unreasonable. Yes there are places where the mix was better/different, but I am just grateful the recordings were available and released. If you combine this with other live recodings from the 70s, it creates a very nice live playlist. The…See More
