I haven't hard of anything else yet, but let me know if something comes up.
There is also the studio album "Miles from India" that has some of Pete Cosey's guitar work, its a fairly recent album.

Oh OK. Oh well. I'm hoping that since they released "Bitches Brew Live", which I haven't checked out yet, as well as "It's About That Time" a while back, they'll do a posthumous album for the mid-70s band with Pete Cosey.

I don't know of any other mid 70s live albums, but I bet there are some good bootlegs, I just don't own any of them.

Yea, I don't have any of the box-sets, so i guess that's a good avenue to try. On The Corner box set has better ratings than the album proper, hah. The Cellar Door Sessions seem good too, though that's more on the Live-Evil side of things I think.
But are there any more live stuff from that mid-70s era?? |

Parts of "Big Fun" are from that era. If you like the Pete Cosey psychedelic guitar workouts, the complete "On the Corner" box set has some killer psychedelic guitar jams that don't show up elsewhere.
There is also "Guinevere", a psychedelic masterpiece from "Circle in the Round".

So I've been going through all my Miles albums lately, and I've gotten a new appreciation for the mid-70s albums Get Up With It, Dark Magus, Agharta, and Pangaea. I've been craving more, though. Are there any more albums from this era of Miles' electric era??

Nothing like throwing on Relaxin' on a late, warm Spring afternoon.

I have been listening to "Circle in the Round", lots of nice things from various eras.

Miles Ahead has really grown on me since I bought it a month or so ago. Real beautiful big band music. Once again, best listened to at night, as with most Miles music. I definitely put it up there with Kind of Blue and Birth Of The Cool, as it has that mystical feeling that the other 2 albums have.

Crazy how all the studio albums from In A Silent Way through Get Up With It came from
similar sessions from '69 to '72 with overlapping line-ups, yet each album has their own identity. |

I agree that they are better, "Brew" is a very talented jam session, but there isn't much vision or composition. Meanwhile, tunes like "Great Expectations" on "Big Fun" were a whole new thing that explored a different side to music.

Big Fun is also up there, with it's Indian tinges and deep improvs, but also funky as hell at times.
I've always thought those 2 albums were better than the more popular Bitches Brew, which is of course another masterpiece anyway. |

I like those two, I was going to list some more favorites, but really, almost the entire album is my favorite. I can remember listening to this way back and thinking this was like no other music I heard before, including all the avant-garde jazz up to that point.

He Loved Him Madly and Rated X are some progressive pieces of music.

Miles pre-dated many future trends in music with that one.

Get Up With It always leaves me in awe.

I put Relaxin' on again tonight. I think it's my favorite 50s Miles album. I mean, Kind of Blue and Miles Ahead are classics, and pretty much untouchable, but Relaxin' is just perfect music every time it goes on.

I was at a party the other night, I stayed very late. Around 3:30am, someone put on Relaxin' and it was perfect music.
