OTOH, the rest of the album is also very good and not overplayed...great live recording.
Why, oh why, does vinyl continue to blow away digital?

Do you think that tape is as predictable as digital?
IMO nothing is predictable at a show, unless the demonstrator knows how to select recordings. In some sense stereo is not predictable - the well know Circle of Confusion.
Absolutely my M15 A is as reliable as digital , good sound over and over again no maintenance required
.(Ok i should dust it of more often looking at the picture )

IDK, half of them I like the music on, but the other half I view as "sound effects" albums that I have no time for. Those are revealing of audiophiles' sound worship, and are embarrassing, IMO.
I wonder if the issue is the music itself or the fact that these albums are played over and over and over again at shows.
I agree with you some of the music is great.
Vinyl vs Digital to me has mostly been about one's preference toward either errors of omission vs errors of commission, respectively. It's my opinion that most people are more forgiving of errors of omission, and thus vinyl is less offensive. Clearly this is a broad generalization that fails to meet all examples, but it's just my opinion

It’s just such a tiny slice of the music world. The same over and over. Pink Floyd, Dire Straits…
Many years ago, I had "demo'd" the first level preamp & the (then) new small mono amps. The actual demo lasted 2-3min (listening to S-R-V), then we switched to various iterations of Symphonie Fantastique and then B-minor Mass (Richter was best) -- regardless of the recording quality of course.Go to a Manuel Huber Demo .
No audiophile recording demo crap there .
The idea was, the better system will extract more of your favourite performance...

"Kind of Blue" and "Time Out" are iconic. "Jazz at the Pawnshop" is not a "landmark" recording as the other two, though it is certainly enjoyable and has sold many copies (not only to audiophiles!).

An interesting summary article, referring to good music and good recordings.
I still listen to some of those recordings from time to time, mostly with audiophile friends ...
