let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

No. Too hard. I suppose they'd all be live albums (or partly live with the overdubs). Even more if you include ZFT releases.
Ok maybe I'll try. Only releases while he was alive, no You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore comps. 5. Tinseltown Rebellion 4. The Best Band You've Never Heard in Your Life 3. Live in NY (including Deluxe if you include ZFT) 2. Make a Jazz Noise Here 1. Roxy (tied with ZFT releases like Roxy by Proxy and the full Roxy Performances box set)
