tranemonk Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I caught this over at Chick's website... I purchased the USB stick. I've gotten about halfway through and it's fantastic! So far all acoustic stuff. (My strong preference.... ) Also some tunes I rarely have ever heard Chick play... A little Stevie Wonder (Overjoyed), Monk... Really really nice... An excellent find for Moi... http://www.ccwforever.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 "Overjoyed" is a damn good tune, and an involved one too, very episodic in how it moves from section to section. Nice to hear that it's being played in this context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Do you get a tomato with the USB stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Wow, I have the double album, too much $$ this USB at this time, I would like it though, the album is fantastic. Is this USB stick protected so you can't delete the files? Edited February 25, 2012 by CJ Shearn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Not to my knowledge. It does have both Flac and MP3s. I just copied them to Itunes as well as burning it to a DVD. I know it's a bit pricey but I'm really enjoying it. Wow, I have the double album, too much $ this USB at this time, I would like it though, the album is fantastic.

CJ Shearn Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I will go for the USB at some point, the album is terrific. I like that Chick released the music this way as opposed to only releasing a box set in Japan for example. I think Chick, Stanley and Lenny are playing even better as a unit than back in the RTF hey day, and thats saying a lot b/c RTF has been consistently excellent lately IMO. Does the USB contain additional music from the Yoshi's and Blues Alley gigs that disc 1 of the album was comprised from or the Hollywood Bowl gig mentioned in the liners?

tranemonk Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Okay... just finished listening to the full 5+ hours. Overal I would say it was excellent! Thirty-four (34) tracks, not a lot of repeated songs. Actually there are no repeats. Sound quality is excellent. The ONLY downsides for me is that Gayle Moran Corea is on three tracks singing. (: I just DO NOT like her voice. They also could have created a digital booklet (minor point). Although it's a bit pricey I'm glad I have it!

GA Russell Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks for the link! They are offering a free download of Light as a Feather for anyone who doesn't already have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Is there any point in the deluxe edition? It has the USB drive (in a decorative box with magnetic closure!) and the 2-disc set. Isn't the 2-disc set already covered by the USB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'd have to look at the tracks on the 2-cd set but my understanding is that the USB tracks are all IN ADDITION to... (e.g., unreleased on the CD). I'm pretty sure that it's an additional 5+ hours of music. The deluxe edition only adds a poster if you have the CDs. Does that answer your question?

GregK Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 so if you go deluxe, you get all the music with no repetitions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I didn't need to get the deluxe. I just got the USB drive and there are no repeats on that. Edited February 28, 2012 by tranemonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
