He may be dead but the bills keep coming.

I'm pretty sure he isn't paying them.  I actually don't have anything against posthumous albums as long as the material is good.

A big boo for the cover, hope it's just a teaser. I'll wait for the reviews to see if it's worth the money

Same year as Live In New York so I'm sure It'll be a good concert but $48 is a bit steep for me.

^ That's the reason why I only buy albums when I'm in the US or through Bandcamp. 

hmmm.... it's cool that its the whole show, but if anyone here has the album "Halloween", there's going to be repeats, since it has songs recorded between October 27-31, 1978. And apparently some of the YCDTOSA series has these songs in their volumes. Besides, there's enough live albums documenting this era of FZ's bands.

anyway..........

10/31/78 (Tue)  The Palladium - New York City, NY

Set 1: Ancient Armaments, Dancin' Fool, Easy Meat, Honey Don't You Want A Man Like Me?, Keep It Greasey, The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing, City Of Tiny Lights, Pound For A Brown, Thirteen (1) guitar solo on YCDTOSA #6), Ms. X (story told by Warren Cucurullo), Fantasy From A Girl From The Audience, Dinah Moe Humm, Go Cry On Somebody Else's Shoulder/Little Rubber Girl (YCDTOSA #4), Idiot b*****d Son, Bobby Brown, Conehead (1), Suicide Chump, Little House I Used To Live In (1), Watermelon In Easter Hay (1), Stinkfoot, Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance (YCDTOSA #6), Peaches En Regalia, Strictly Genteel, Sofa No.2, Packard Goose (1), Magic Fingers, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow, Nanook Rubs It, St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast, Father O'Blivion, Rollo, Camarillo Brillo, Muffin Man, Black Napkins/Deathless Horsie (1)

i think they could still release better stuff from FZ's live catalog. First off, the 1973 band (with Jean-Luc Ponty) is almost treated like it doesnt exist. There is some serious music from that lineup, but they wont release a good quality show of them (the official beat the boots series has them, but they're terrible quality)

also, and i always say it, why not spend the effort in releasing the roxy dvds? at least release a 3-CD set of THAT!

www.popmarket.com - you can get the box set for cheap - more than half off original price - just saying ;)

Compared to some of the prices for single cds on the sight, it could have been $70.
