I forgot to mention I did tune in to the second part of the show also and it was wonderful! So many great live tracks. But it would be even more wonderful if they put all of these live performances on CD. There are just so many good things they can pluck from the vaults instead of re packaging the compilations  Maybe one day I suppose :myjam: |
