Yes. It was a couple of years after Gil's death, but they continued to perform at Sweet Basil for awhile and I was able to see the group two times there--they still had the spirit and were fantastic.

Love it too, but I have the 8cd box.

Seeing them must have been a great experience! In the seventies at Manchester's Free Trade Hall I saw the Evans band that recorded Svengali.

The 8cd set is on Electric Bird k25y 9531-9538, expanding considerably the four 2lp sets.
