It wouldn't surprise me if Lucas didn't specify Disney agreeing to not releasing the theatrical cuts as a stipulation of the sale. He's been trying to bury those since the beginning. Last I heard he claimed they were too damaged to release.

Pink Floyd was already mentioned, but David Gilmour’s Live at Pompeii is also a thing of beauty. I accidentally ran across it playing on PBS a few years ago and was glued to the screen for the whole thing, then immediately ordered the Blu-ray to watch again.
On less mainstream note, New Grass Revival’s Live cd is not just better than their live albums, but is close to my favorite bluegrass album of all time. Studio bluegrass can sound too “manufactured” for me.
Also, aside from the Zappa already mentioned, there’s a Zappa Plays Zappa live album/dvd with Napoleon Murphy Brock and Steve Vai, which I also really love. The Zomby Woof from that on YouTube is a great highlight.
I'd love to see how well this cancels out some subwoofer loving neighbors I've had in previous apartments. I'm skeptical considering the level of wall shaking vibrations that are generated from some systems, but I'd pay a decent price if it actually worked.
I've had Maquis sitting on the shelf since I Kickstarted the new version. Finally broke it open and played about six games. Good, easy to learn solo game. Quick setup and maybe 20-30 minutes to play.
Maquis and Under Falling Skies are my main solo games at the moment. Both are worker placement, but UFS is a dice worker placement game, where you roll a handful of dice and then decide where to spend them. Maquis has a "resistance helping to defeat the Nazi occupation" theme and Under Falling Skies is basically Space Invaders re-imagined as a board game. Both are well done and play in 20 or 30 minutes usually.
I bought a Brother color laser printer in 2020 after deciding I was fed up with buying ink cartridges. The Staples guy was annoyed I wasn't buying toner cartridges also. He said "These starter cartridges don't have much toner. You'll need a new one before you know it!". I told him I'd take my chances and come back if needed. Three years later, I print regularly and haven't replaced anything at all yet. I would have bought a number of ink cartridges over the last few years. Great investment as far as I'm concerned.
