Miles Davis - Complete Live in Japan 1975
Agharta and Pangaea are two of Davis' best concerts of the 1970s. But the full sets have never been released in the U.S. A great boxed set would feature ALL of the material recorded on the 1975 Japan tour, the released concerts from February 1st (in unedited form), along with the other concerts f... more

I am very glad to see this is "under review". Properly promoted, I think this would actually sell pretty well. Very genre-bending when you get down to it. Would love to see the Legacy folks do their magic with the sound as well.

There isn't anything else like this music and it demands to be heard. As much of it as would fit into one boxed set!

These live dates from Japan are splendid, enthralling, a peak of creative expression unlike anything and more beautiful and compelling than most everything. A box set containing at least full versions of Agharta and Pangea, if not added material from the tour, would be terrific. And, I believe, marketable to new generations of listeners.

If you do issue this set, please do the fancy metal-spine packaging like the other sets. Those are pretty great and add a nice touch to the set.

[saw another Miles Davis request mentioning a 1978 studio session; I would buy that. Anyone know the personel on that set?]
The band was:
Miles Davis (org); Larry Coryell (g); Masabumi Kikuchi (keyb); George Pavlis (keyb); T.M. Stevens (el-b); Al Foster (d)

I think a live boxed set of shows from say 72-75 would be awesome and would become a classic! I saw another Miles Davis request mentioning a 1978 studio session; I would buy that. Anyone know the personel on that set?

Yes Yes Yes.........Also an uncut version of the 'Black Beauty' set would be nice!....Chick's Rhodes sound!....Mmmmmmmmm!

Please release these recordings. The world needs to hear them.

a live dvd (if available) would really make this a special treat

Complete Live in Japan 1975 would be completely irresistible! A must have for all Miles Davis fans, and we are legion. Please do!

We need more of Miles and this incredible band - anything would be great, and if it's in the vaults please release it!

This is the holy grail for me, my favourite Miles period. Please, please, please!
Cheers,

Having proper releases of "Agharta" and "Pangaea" would be a good start (there are at least 3 or 4 different versions of each album out there, complete or not, with different mixes). Releasing new shows would be even better. It could be a really fine box set.

Yes, I'd love to see this. Go For It!!

I notice a lot of love for Miles on this board. In fact, it looks like we could rename it the "Please release any scrap of Miles Davis music you can find!" Forum.
And that's a good thing. I'll buy anything Sony puts out by him.

I can't recommend this highly enough - it would be a fantastic addition to the canon, and a fitting way to present some of the greatest music ever set to tape.

Would love to see this . The existing live mixes are in desperate need of remastering, and perhaps someone like Bill Laswell could have a stab at mixing the previously unreleased stuff. Incidentally, a live boxed set with remastered and complete versions of Dark Magus, Agharta and Pangaea would be very simple to produce and also be very very welcome.

you beat me to it - I've got the Japanese releases but the whole concerts would be great!

This would make a great set. The Jan. 22 show in particular is fantastic.
