Gov't Mule's unexpurgated _Live... With a Little Help From Our Friends:
Collector's Edition_ 4 CD set sold out, as far as I know (at least folks
have trouble acquiring it nowadays), and it was a limited edition in the
tens of thousands (I heard a rumour of 40,000).  Note, that was released
in addition to the regular 2 CD "edited highlights" version!

BTW, that 4 CD release also demonstrates the benefits of audience
taping.  They had problems with the recording truck on the night, so
some parts have been spliced in from audience DATs.

It is a great set---a complete document of a great live event---and I'd
love to see the same emerge from the Hawkestra event.

Cheers,

Paul.
