Warehouse 5/8 And Live Trax 20 Announced
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in The Warehouse at 9:38am on Friday, Mar 18th, 2011We tried to warn you not to check out of The Warehouse. The Dave Matthews Band official fan club announced their annual Warehouse 5/8 disc, and it's a whopper. In addition to the disc (8 tracks for those with 3+ years of membership), everyone will get Live Trax 20, from 8.19.93 at the Wetlands Preserve.
First, a bit about the recording. Prior to 1996, DMB recorded their shows on a two-track recording system. So when DMBLive does a release from 1992-1995, it's a two-track recording. It's still mixed (and mixed pretty darn well), but those recording don't have the full-track mixes of 1996 to present. This recording from 1993, thanks to the board at The Wetlands, contains a multi-track recording. This is the earliest live multi-track recording of the band. The show itself is pretty incredible, and fans for years have been making the case that Blue Water Baboon Farm from this show - featuring Warren Haynes - is one of the best ever. Warren guests on a total of 5 songs, including a nice version of True Reflections.
But just when you thought it couldn't get any better, the Warehouse 5/8 is already being talked about as one of the strongest from top to bottom ever. The tracks are:
- Lying In The Hands Of God 6.6.09 Hartford
- #40 6.21.08 SPAC
- You Never Know 9.25.07 Phoenix
- #34 7.9.05 Mansfield, MA
- Write A Song 9.3.10 Gorge
- Kit Kat Jam 8.11.02 Deer Creek
- A Dream So Real 6.21.08 SPAC
- Christmas Song 12.20.02 MSG
Everyone with 3+ years in the club get the final 3 songs listed. Rather than listen to us wax poetically on how awesome and winning this Warehouse disc is, lets have the good people of Ants discuss the disc, from the thread on it.
"OMG!!!! I'm so excited!! I can't wait to hear that #40, I was hoping this song would have made it. I can't wait!!!"
"Great job warehouse. You knocked this one out of the park! Thanks. "
"Amazing. Best thing out of the warehouse ever."
"This disc is soooo unreal, it honestly looks like someone on here made it up in a "what would an ideal next WH disc look like" thread! Lovin' this and LT 20"
"No one should be complaining about this. Not only do we get an incredible Warehouse Cd but a free LT."
"Warehouse caught Sheen fever #winning"
Everyone who joined in 2010 gets the Warehouse 5 and Live Trax 20. Everyone. There is no cut-off date as in the past. Additionally, The Warehouse is already working on the 2011 disc, and everyone who signs up for The Warehouse in 2011 gets the goods in early 2012. Which is nice.
