I wouldn't. I'd rather they took their pick from all those songs in an effort to make this next studio work worth it. I don't want a "Busted Stuff" type deal that is a decent album with great songs. The production/etc of BS is such a joke, yet it has really solid songs. I don't want that. It's lazy bullshit. I'm not impatient. I can live my life without a new DMB studio album every 2 years.
I would just be pissed if they took those songs and perminantely ruined their studio chances forever. The BS versions of Grey Street and Bartender are both SO much better on tLWS, so if it weren't for that disc, those songs would be remembered forever as shitty on studio albums, which I don't want to happen to the likes of Sweet Up and Down, #27, Shotgun, Crazy Easy, etc etc.

Eh...at times. 1996-1998 DMB live is definitely up there (and 2000 argueably). Songs like BOWA, The Stone, etc can never be topped live. Those studio cuts are perfection.

I think what he was saying was that it is a better work of art. Again, listen to BOWA from Under the Table and Dreaming. When the "Hey la la..." hits, tell me that's not beautiful. You can't, because it is. That cut there beats any performance BOWA has or will ever have. DMB put out 3 FANTASTIC studio albums during those years, that sadly get overlooked by the "DMB is a live band" assumption. Steve Lillywhite knew EXACTLY what the band was about and how to make it work in the studio. It was brilliant.
For example, DDTW are two completely totally different monsters (studio/live). Both are great though if you take the time to appreciate both of them. It took me forever to learn to appreciate the subtilties of DDTW in the studio. Alanis is chilling.
