What?!  That "Young Man Blues" is awesome!  It's the other 3 tracks on
Disc 3 that are weak.  I was surprised at how well they played YMB.
Zak seemed a little tentative about improvising, but the others sure 
didn't.  What's your 'prob' with YMB?

People on other lists said they had to turn the CD off after a few 
tracks because the sound was too muddy & the mix was too poor.  They 
couldn't listen to it.  Imagine being so audio-anal!

Blech!  I hate that song.

"Magic Bus" *was* strong.  Especially that climactic ending.

Good review, Jon.  I agree.  Except for your slam against YMB!  ;-)
