Got the book today.I agree it is great book,lots of great photos & stuff,but I'm disappointed with the concert posters & the ads section.Is quite of a mess they are spread randomly around the book ,I would have made a kind of day by day section with all the posters flyers & ads listed & pictured as Oliver did on the site.I mean 3 books showed up almost at the same time & still lots of missing.Just to name one,regarding the march 31st Village Gate ball,there is just a little mentions of the show, There is a full page report on the E.V.O.of the week after,there is a full page advertising poster different from the one in the book.that night the Velvet played after a mantra of Ginsberg & Orlowski ,a speech of dr.Timothy Leary,a set of the Fugs plus 3 other bands & the only report in the book is that somebody called them trash & Frank Sumatra showed up & run away.Back on the other books,I think that the Day by Day is a great book & the de Rogatis one came out in the wrong moment .Too much meat on the fire makes a lot of smoke.Now that we have got all this paper is time to see some shows so I hope that Wolfgang open his vault for Fillmore & Avalon ,and the Warhol museum unzipp his pants & show us something cool.Greatings from Thailand,Alex
