I absolutely agree, Steve, and I always try to see the greats -- especially if I have not seen them play live before. I would have loved to have seen Oscar Peterson even if he were not at his height of mental capacity or playing. I saw Dewey Redman about a month before he died, Dave Brubeck less than a year before, and Jim Hall a couple of years. McCoy doesn't seem like he is on his last legs but he was visibly changed from his performance exactly two years ago to open SF Jazz.
