I have been waiting for the Archives for years now, Neil is a genius and if he doesn’t think they ready yet then I trust his judgment, but how many more delays must we endure? Good news about the ‘Sugar Mountain’ live album though. I suppose we have that to keep us going until a (hopefully) Jan/Feb Archives release.

If this live release is anything like Massey Hall or Filmore East, we're in for a treat. Come on Neil, get those archives out - please stick to the revised date. I'm not gonna hold my breath though

I agree with geetar, the two previous live releases were both superb. I'd love it if one of the future releases was from the Tonights The Night Tour back in the early 70s.
