Live in Chicago 1965 Digital Release

[Rocky Raccoon]

There doesn't seem to be a thread devoted to this copyright extension release yet.  I didn't even notice it until last night on iTunes and I purchased it immediately.  I don't think it's anything spectacular, it's not as good as Sacramento 1964 (which has a very similar setlist) and definitely not as good as Michigan 1966 (I guess we'll have to wait til next year for that one) but it's certainly cool to have nonetheless.  But I'm curious what you guys think of it.  I know it's a little silly to complain about the setlist of a 50 year old concert but it's a shame they didn't do more songs from the Today! album and were still playing covers of Monster Mash, Louie Louie, and Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow.  It is cool to hear live versions of Please Let Me Wonder with Brian singing lead.  The version from the second show is absolutely sublime and I think that alone makes the purchase worth it.

I'm waiting to see if a hi-res download of this release appears... I just can't handle the sound of mp3s over headphones.  If anyone knows of one appearing, please let me know!
