Re: Ants Podcast 84: DMB Live 25 (28?) - Episode Discussion
Brett, I totally agree with you. I have a record player and I would love to buy it on vinyl more than any other format but it being over $200 with everything included, I just can't do that right now. So for people who don't have $200 plus to spend nor have a record player, there has to be another option. CD or digital download, has to be a secondary option.
If it doesn't, I definitely lose respect for the band and co. because it makes them come off as capitalistic pigs.

Someone will make the arguments that there is a ton of content out there already that we can download if we want, but truthfully its all become the same to me... I stopped buying live trax, and dmblive because nothing separates them for me anymore. It's all starting to sound too similar. Same songs selections, perhaps great performances, but not distinguishable enough to keep me interested in spending money. I don't need more ants, two steps, or crashes in my collection, with the occasional "greatest performance ever" of if i had it all sprinkled in. I need the break for its, falling off the roofs, etc... to keep the collection fresh and exciting.
This would/will be a nice way to rejuvenate my interest because it was different, and they blew/are blowing it for me personally by making the decision to have this vinyl only.
My take, don't really care how others feel about my opinions. It is what it is. Happy for those who have the ability, and the means, to afford and hear these.
