I'm with you there, buddy! Especially Dubnobass, STITI, BF era, I'd buy em all up. Any periods where they really improv and jam.

But my guess is that missing STITI shows, BF shows, AHDO shows and pre-Barking shows are very similar to what we already have.Indeed, some wonderful surprises and improvs circa 2005-2010, but thereafter, ehh? Pretty similar. Karl acknowledged this...
True, but pro-recorded in lossless from the boys? Me wants! I would love Fuji Rock 99 in lossless as the really low bitrate shows on that one. We got some good recordings, but all low bitrate or taped off FM recorded in "lossless," but not really lossless. Direct lossless recordings would sound loads better. Hell, I'd pay to have the good shows we do have upgraded.
