By now I’m sure you’ve seen the videos of Billy Strings and Chris Thile for CBS’ Saturday Sessions. That’s OK. You can watch them again and again and still be amazed by the interplay between these two master musicians. The duo performed three songs (I don’t know the order they originally appeared):
"I've Been All Around This World,”
"I Am A Pilgrim,”
"Wild Bill Jones.”
Enjoy.

I have no idea who/what GrooveTV was/is, but I do know that I dig early 00’s STS9 set from The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA; 12/5/02.
I’ll be honest and say that this is not a band I know well, nor have I really followed them much beyond the little pocket of shows I’ve heard. So, I don’t know if the setlist is correct or not, but one of the YouTube comments lists:
Setlist:
Satori, ?, Grow, New song > Tap In, Baraka II: Moonsockets, ?, STS9 Ramone > Eb > Emiglio E: Circus, What is love?
You know it’s good when it includes a “?”. Some of you may know more details about this show, and I’m glad to hear them if you do. But otherwise, just enjoy.
Here’s a Youtube Treasure I don’t know much about.
Sorry, I’ve never bothered to much research beyond knowing that it’s Coltrane in Belgium in 1965. I’m sure some of you can hep me to the jive and I’m always interested in details if you’re interested in providing them.
Otherwise, let’s just enjoy the sublime.
Setlist:

Again, no setlist for this one, though I imagine is out there somewhere. Please let me know if you find it.
