Greetings Mark and Ron……from Valencia, Spain!! This show never misses a beat when Mark enters the dark little room for either Jim or Ron. Looking forward to this one!! With Billy Cobham on the skins, you just know this’ll be good. Strapped in the chair like the dude on that old 3M commercial 🌬️🌬️🌬️

Who was the sound engineer you mentioned with the Shabazz project? I agree with your comments ; it was amazing sound; some of the best I have ever heard on a live recording; it was that good.

Neil, we are so glad you and Drake are enjoying these two records. Personally I feel like you. I don't know about Mark. I much prefer live recordings to studio ones.

GB they are substantially different in feel. Both are outstanding in their own ways. We're glad you're enjoying this one.

My two cents……..live!! Muchos gracias for another stellar show. I enjoy the banter every bit as much as the music. Trust that Jim is revelling in Cancun. Safe travels home.
