Sail On Sailor box set

[Howie Edelson]

It was my idea to lead off with "Mess Of Help." I think it spotlights everything hot and new about this era in a solid punch.
It screams "FM" and underscores what a powerhouse this lineup was on stage.
Carl nailing a new Brian tune with the band smoking and singing their asses off. You can't go wrong.

A great, great track (one of my absolute faves from listening #2 back in the day) that got lost in the WTF? shuffle back in '72 and more than deserves a shot at total redemption. I hadn't heard the Carnegie live version before, and it sounds like Carl reworked some things from the earlier live versions in order to give it a more distinct concert context--folks at shows don't tend to relate as well to "fade outs" as they're able to do with studio versions. There's some added power in the transition to the "She don't know..." middle 8/tag that takes it up another notch and does exactly what Howie says--these guys could really bring it on stage back then.

Great call, Howie. Looking forward to hearing the whole shebang in November. I predict a great deal of critical and commercial success for this one, which will go a long, long way toward realizing all of the objectives, hopes and desires so many have had regarding the '72 material as the being knockout punch for putting the band back on top of the heap legacy-wise, once and for all.

Carl is really kicking some major ass on this version!

I'm curious about the two versions of Out In The Country. Would one of them be the full backing track?

[mtaber]

Mess of Help is one of my all time favorites and the band could really be amazing live at that time! Can’t wait for the set!  Hope I don’t have to drive 500 miles round trip like I did for the last box set!

[Emdeeh]

That live version of "Mess of Help" is awesome! Carl rawkin' out like that, just reinforces why I think he's one of the greatest voices of the 20th century.

[HeyJude]

The '72 Carnegie Hall stuff is pretty close to peak live era. I suppose if I were forced to pick, they maybe got even tighter and better into 1973, but really 72 and 73 go together. And really, 74 and 75 are no slouches either.

I have no doubt that the live stuff on this set is going to be some of the biggest highlights.

Ditto, like take my money already!

I decided to take a look on Amazon for myself. I didn't find the box, but I found a seven disc Use Your Illusion box set, the Beatles Revolver set, The Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At The Forum April 26th 1969, and at this point I can hear my empty wallet starting to cry. 

[juggler]

Wow, everything that one could hope for! One small omission, unless I missed it, the single mix of Cuddle Up, unless it's the listed alternate mix. And of course, there's the songwriting session of Sail On Sailor...

Whoa... hypnotize me and make me believe I'm not crazy...

Question for Howie-

I was at the midnight Carnegie Hall show on 11/23/72.
 Is the full concert that's included in the box set a compilation of the best performances from the early and midnight shows or a complete recording of just one of the shows?

[pixletwin]

Here is a link to the super deluxe vinyl set: https://www.amazon.com/Sail-Sailor-1972-Super-Deluxe/dp/B0BG2WMQJD/ref=pd_lutyp_d_rtpb_sccl_2_1/141-0177124-8404072?pd_rd_w=KJXrE&content-id=amzn1.sym.e87e42ff-d9d6-4960-b250-a08faad41533&pf_rd_p=e87e42ff-d9d6-4960-b250-a08faad41533&pf_rd_r=2EYHCXGP306KEWPVA327&pd_rd_wg=J0x8u&pd_rd_r=532f44e5-f419-4bd8-b0e2-5e492ec6f54c&pd_rd_i=B0BG2WMQJD&psc=1

Interesting to note that the deluxe vinyl booklet is listed as 38 pages while the deluxe CD booklet  is listed as 48 pages.

Don't know about anyone else, but the "Rooftop Harry" track has me excited, I wonder how complete it is..?

[Shady]

What a great time for a relase.. November!

These albums are very wintery

Don't know about anyone else, but the "Rooftop Harry" track has me excited, I wonder how complete it is..?

I don't remember The details of that one. Will have to look it up in my good old Brad Elliott book - I have a clear recollection that it was mentioned there.

My memory is clearly not what it used to be, but in any event the book has some thought provoking, if not always accurate content. These shots from the out-takes section. Obviously the Dennis song mentioned is Carry Me Home, but it was recorded!! Probably Atlantis Rising didn't get beyond the talking about it stage, but the report of a new version of Surf's Up recorded at the Holland sessions???
