Thanks for posting this EKE. I have those Ellington concerts on old Green Line VHS tapes. Great stuff, but dvds will hopefully be cleaner. I still need to pick up the Tivoli '69 and Copenhagen '65 dvds!

The Zurich '59 footage on vhs is a very faded piece of film from the visual standpoint, but the music and great camera angles make up for the faded picture. Dimenuendo & Crescendo is SMOKIN" on this!
