Is it just the “lucinda effect” — or are these the best, most true, most beautiful concert recordings ever? I am blown away.
I think i might get impatient, and skip ahead to a favorite song, but i can’t — I am completely pulled into the moment, every moment, on these recordings.
I feel like I am in LA, totally connected with the audience and performance.
And these CDs were cut on the fly, the night of each concert? Whoa. That is incredible. But it’s worked so beautifully — not only is the sound quality excellent, the immediacy is there, the authenticity of lucinda, the band, the guests, the audience — it is just amazing. Thank you for not “polishing” or re-editing these recordings. Thank you for including the so-called false starts, the “figuring it out – live” quality. This is all i want to listen to now — I can’t get back to work! Thank you for sharing it with us. These recordings are a national treasure. 8)
Will i drop another $80 for the nyc sets? without even hesitating.
