SLeeper lps of 70s....

I was at two Art Ensemble of Chicago Concerts - one in Warsaw in late 70s and one in Chicago in late 80s. Concert in Warsaw (big auditorium) was beyond believe. They started an hour late because of electrical/equipment problems but played to 1:30AM (almost 4 hours) to compensate for that. People didn't want to let them leave. Since Lester Bowie death in 1999 I lost a little bit of interest. Without his cutting trumpet it just not the same. Not too many people in Chicago, where I live, know about Art Ensemble of Chicago - what a shame.
