idk i guess I was finding it hard to make the points I wanted to make without sounding like I questioning the timelessness of the live version
in a nutshell the drums sound much better on the studio record and that’s really important
and two Coltrane’s vision is strictly adhered to on the studio version and it’s designed for posterity and the live version caters to people who paid to see the greatest quartet of all time
Like Tyner wasn’t just Coltrane’s soldier he was the greatest pianist to ever live. Same with Elvin and the drums.
I’m not going to say Jimmy Garrison is the greatest bassist ever but that solo on the live version -good god- but the theme on the studio version- that’s for us forever -
the stars are beautiful but the rivers are streams are for us
