I mostly avoid full shows on vinyl but I really enjoy the 1-2 disc live excerpt (and still own a number of full shows for GD and JGB). LPonLP, Light Into Ashes, stuff like that feels perfect.
Happy to have this Ghost on vinyl, but knowing they had to split up the jam one way or another, I really wished they’d found a way to include Rock And Roll. 29 minutes just doesn’t feel long enough to be released on vinyl, even if I generally prefer quality over quantity
Great write up—never got into this jam at the time. My fandom peaked with cypress. But I’ve loved the reissued version. Looking forward to your new posts.
I was also a skeptic of the jambands on vinyl releases of the last few years but finally bought the first four LP on LPs which is where I heard this "Ghost" for the first time. The vinyl side break works ok since the jam changes direction around that point. Also I find LP a good way to focus on shorter sections of the jams.
Wonderful write up of the Ghost.
You know, I don't think I ever listened to the Bowie before. You are right about the Mike solo in the intro....pretty cool.
