11 YEARS OF LIVE EXPERIENCE: MY TOP 20 SHOWS ON DIME!

Hello, 2008 is almost over so i thought I would make a kind of summary of the last decade and select those shows I taped
over the 1997-2008 period which I enjoyed most and then make a personal Top 20 ranking. These shows (except for those that
cannot be uploaded on DIME because they are not compliant) will be seeded here from now till the end of the year. Believe me,
all of them were top quality and it was not easy to do a proper ranking. As always, they will span from rock to brazilian
music, to jazz, progressive and pop. You will see here a mix of shows already seeded in my Master Series but deleted since
a long time, some others still on the tracker and some uncirculated shows you've never seen in the trading circuit or here
on DIME. It's going to be some fun, gents. They are all from my masters.

LDB Master Series #164

Hello, this is a collection of masters I would like to seed here. I've been taping shows for more than 20 years and have an
awful lot of masters. Most of them are in the old cassette format, some others are on MiniDisc and others are on CD. I've
taped many shows of many artists over the years, so don't be surprised if you will find many different artists taped! Some
shows are already circulating, some others have not circulated through collectors yet. But most of all, enjoy!
They all come from my masters!

music here.

I did not attend this particular show, but I was at the previous day's one in Villafranca, near Verona. This is possible the
best jazz concert I've ever attended, at least in terms of piece of art. Four highly talented musicians, probably there are
in the top 20 jazz musicians ever. What struck me during the performance was a mix of improvisation and perfect alignment
among the musicians. I tend to label this band as a variation of Wayne's standard quartet with Patitucci and Perez
replacing Herbie and Dave. It has the same kind of feeling and quite similar setlist. It was simply amazing. Perugia was
their show at Umbria Jazz. This one comes from my master. Enjoy!
