    Do live recordings translate well to SACD? I have avoided a couple because I assumed studio recordings would naturally benefit most. This recording is super intriguing to me though.

    Ed, The Allman Brothers live at Fillmore East SACD is pretty dang good!

    If they ever release Foghat * Live * on SACD I'd buy it instantly even though I own a good Vinyl copy.

    Is it true no studio Jimi on SACD and, if so, how come? Seems a no-brainer.

    ok I'm hoping I do not burst bubbles. I've had several supposedly quality Hendrix recordings. Some recording's from that era sounds so bad on good rigs. I never noticed it much on my lesser rigs but the more I moved up the more I heard I didn't like. The tape drag hiss is one. I'm hoping these get the red carpet treatment in the re-master process but then again that may very well mess up the whole 9 yards. I'm all for SACD but sometimes the recording is not ever going to be SACD quality no matter what.

    Does anyone know where to buy these? I see a pre-order on Amazon for the first show CD, no complete set nor SACD?

    with GRP & analog Records during the pressing of Jimi's newest release (Hell & angels) I figured they would be the ones to put out a SACD :)

    Has anyone seen it cheaper? Pretty sure it would be the most that I ever spent on a cd

    I got the SACD and really enjoyed it. But I really have to sit down and listen to opine on the quality of reproduction.
