So I can't really tell whether this same phenomenon works for them, making 250 seemingly the same bootlegs 'worth' getting (as with Monk, Dylan, Grateful Dead, Hendrix, Coltrane, Dolphy, Zappa or Phish).
I never did understand this phenomenon. I can see the relevance for a scholar to compare the nuisances of any of these said musicians, but for most listeners (including many musicians and more than "casual" listeners in the bunch) the bootlegs are pretty much the same. Hearing different covers is one thing, but 100s of versions of the same tune!?! It could be something that I will never understand. Zach
