     Only the list creator has the power.  If they passed
the list off to a moderator and then unsubscribed, no 
one can cancel the list.

     No.

     Back in the mid to late 70's, the "live" stuff was often
highly structured because it had been written, rehearsed,
and then tweaked in the studio later -- in this cases where
they weren't fake-live studio productions to begin with.
The Sessions recordings seem to be genuinely live with
more improvisation like in the early 70's -- and as such,
they are of questionable musical coherence much of the
time.
