Miles Davis’ complete Live at the Plugged Nickel to be reissued in 10xLP box set
Miles Davis‘ legendary live recording Live at the Plugged Nickel is being released as an expanded box set. Miles Davis – The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 is set for release on January 30 via Columbia/Legacy, which will be the first time in 30 years that the live set will be available on CD and vinyl. The 10xLP box set features the complete recordings from Davis and his ensemble’s performances in 1965. A shorter preview release, Live At The Plugged Nickel: December 23, 1965 – Second Set, is due for release on Record Store Day on November 28.
“The Plugged Nickel tapes don’t just capture great performances. They document a band revolutionizing improvisation in real time, welcoming surprise, discarding certainty, and turning ‘wrong’ notes into revelations,” said writer Syd Schwartz in the new liner notes for the box set. “What unfolded on that stage has become one of the most mythologized stretches in post-bop history.”
