A favorite live album, I wish I'd seen one of these performances. I prefer earlier/earliest versions of the band but here is Kantner, Slick, Kaukonen & Casady running through a great set including fun commentary from Grace ("I can't either" during Crown Of Creation).
 
Those last two, Horace Silver and Monk are a couple personal favorites. One of my luckiest days hunting was coming across that Horace Silver record in a thrift shop. I hadn't yet hear it and just grabbed it on name recognition, and was quite pleased I did.

Inspired by some of nobody's recent posts, I thought I would dig out an old favourite today.

Off topic but a subject interesting to many here I think - turntable playback and phono cartridges. Peter Ledermann of Soundsmith.

too bad about the writing from a previous owner but otherwise Mr. Lacy seemed to take care of his records.
 
Great lecture! Thanks for posting- very much worth watching.

Yes, would like to find more talks from this guy, I only see an audio show interview on youtube. It was interesting to hear his discussion on the strain-gauge cartridge design and history. 5 or 6 years ago I came across - through a local craigslist sale - one of the old Win Labs strain-gauge cartridges paired with a Phase Linear 8000 TT. I don't recall all the issues but the TT needed the usual work (cue'ing, etc) after years of storage.
