Comment

I listened to as many versions of each song as I could download. That meant roughly 140 versions of Simple Twist and anywhere from 20-75 versions of most of the others. I eliminated those that didn't pass a minimum threshold of listenability and then gave full listens to all the other versions. My selections were based on whatever whims I had at the time. Basically, though, vocals were usually a minor consideration. Sound quality was a priority but not that it was what informed by final choices. The only thing I knew beforehand was that the 8/8/90 Tangled Up In Blue would be included. It is my favorite Jerry performance in any incarnation and the last five minutes are the greatest guitar solo I've ever heard from anybody, anywhere, anytime. It's also what got the idea in my head to do this.

The only omission was All Along The Watchtower, which was played once (10/25/87) and does not circulate. I chose the better part of valor and decided against using the version released as part of the Pure Jerry series. Fully recognizing that I couldn't be all things to all people, I hope this works as most things for most people.

As I was dealing with 19 different tracks from 18 different sources (mostly aud's), matching levels and segueing were somewhat problematic. I have tried to minimize this as best I could, or at least as gently as possible.

Thanks to:
Tol, who singularly made this possible.
Zuma_Aiko Bill and SIRMick, who offered solicited help with the set lists.
Rory Kallfelz, who came through big-time when I sent out a short-notice SOS for help tweaking the art.
JG and his partners in crime through the years.
