The ****ing Airplane was so fantastic back in the day. So fantastic that I've almost forgotten about their late-eighties reunion album.

Anyway, if you're enjoying Woodstock, I highly recommend the Cavett set. They're full-length episodes, three of which are Joplin and the Bowie episode is so utterly fascinating. It also has the Airplane, Joni Mitchell, Sly and the Family Stone, George Harrison, etc. The other guests are also VERY entertaining, especially Racquel Welch. Her and Joplin are a riot together.

Did you find that on Amazon.com? I'd love to get it!

Do they include all of The Doors appearances, too?

And your new avatar is ... well ... precious! I can't wait till all the Malcolm seasons are on DVD - I *must* have Bea Arthur's episode. "Can you hear the drums, Fernando?" *THUD*

That's the first season finale (the one where Bea Arthur babysat Dewey while everyone else went to the waterpark and Malcolm pushed Lois down the slide) and the first season IS on DVD.

Tons of extras, too. I read that the reason the other seasons haven't been released yet is because they're having a hard time getting the rights to the music. That's what held up Moonlighting for so long, but it's understandable considering that most networks never thought any of this stuff would be released like this.

I picked it up at Circuit City, but I'm sure Amazon has it. I think I paid $30 for it, which isn't too bad, imo.

It's also on the remaster of After Bathing At Baxters. One of the BEST ALBUMS EVER

Volunteers is another great one though, I love Airplane's version of Wooden Ships. Kantner co-wrote it with Stills. Eskimo Blue Day is probably one of the best on the album. I love that line:

"Say it plainly, the human name, doesn't mean **** to a tree"

Crown of Creation, there all good. Kantner's In Time is my favorite on this album. or Grace's version of Crosby's Triad. Awsome.
