In the past I passed over My Funny Valentine, because all the fast tunes from the concert are on Four + More, and ballads are boring, right? Turns out it's incredibly lovely.

I had the Seven Steps box set that puts the concert back into its original running order and have never checked out the two albums the way they were originally issued. I should do that.

The original albums are so cohesive that it's almost hard to imagine going back and forth between the ballads and hyperjazz tunes. I'd like to hear the original concert order though.

lol:

On the Seven Steps box they place all the tracks in the order they were recorded on the night, including the spoken introductions to both sets.

I kind of like it because then I can easily skip the ballads. :)

Like Bitches Brew, Live-Evil had a Quadraphonic release with a very different mix. It’s excellent

In Concert (1972) is ridiculously underrated, but it desperately needs a remix/remaster

I think in concert sounds that way because of how it was recorded.. maybe some AI thing can recreate the full frequency spectrum
