Thanks to @Clive for highlighting this on the Jazz Thread
AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
Pianist Bill Evans’ final project for the Riverside label resulted in eight songs released as Bill Evans Trio at Shelly’s Manne-Hole. This set doubles the program by adding eight previously unreleased selections. Evans, who is in fine form playing in a trio with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker, often sounded more relaxed in concert than in studios and he stretches himself on the material (mostly standards), making one wonder why all of the music was not orignally released. This is one of the finest recordings by this particular trio. Worth searching for.

All you need is- Starless and Red 
I already have those. I just felt a bit Crimsoned out after I’d played five albums in a row! Actually I played six in all as I revisited the first album at the end. I agree that Starless and Red are good, especially the latter, but nothing quite matches that first album. I was looking through my collection yesterday and found I have 17 King Crimson albums. I also have the No Pussyfooting album, but not surprisingly it scarcely ever gets played.

This morning’s listening: Shostakovich Symphony No. 11 from this Jansons set. It could be my new favourite of the three copies I own, as the level is a bit better controlled than on the Rostropovich LSO Live version.

The asterisked titles have bafflingly been through the “electronically re-channelled for stereo” mangle.
Bar that. Amazing SQ.
