The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965
Studio album by Miles Davis
Released July 8, 1995
Recorded 1965
Genre Jazz

In late December 1965 recordings were made of two nights of performances by Miles Davisยด second quintet at the Plugged Nickel club in Chicago. Some tracks were available on Miles Davis compilations, but the full recordings were released thirty years later - July 8, 1995. The studio recordings of the quintet of Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams consist almost entirely of original compositions by members of the quintet. These club recordings show the group playing tunes which were either standards or had been in Davis's live repertoire for several years. The tunes are performed with substantially more rhythmic and harmonic freedom than on earlier recordings.

The box contains eight discs, and is released on Sony.
