If it's legal, PM me...if not, get sum

[socopithy]

It'll make its way to the usual places in no time, I'm sure.

[Mateo2k]

Pretty cool set and like that they're doing a strictly vinyl release.

[YankeesDMB41]

I mean im buying the Vinyl...but I also want to blast these songs in my car, which I cant do without Mp3s

[RSSR]

Shit, can you imagine if the band actually played these 25 songs in a set just like they're arranged here? We'd all lose our minds.

[BTCS_JTR]

Surprised to not see Toronto's Winter '12 poster mixed in there.

[mHeiser92]

Am I wrong, or did somebody post that Doobie Thing and/or Falling off the Roof were both registered or trademarked a few months ago? Some thought we'd see them on WH disc, but this makes sense now if I remember this correctly

[Toast and Jelly]

I was at the Toyota Park show where Falling off the Roof (Jackpot) was played. I don't think I've listened to a recording since but it's actually a pretty awesome song in case any of you haven't heard it:

I would put it in the top 3 since 2007. It has a bit of the intangible vibe from those forgotten early 90s Dave solo songs (tension, interesting melodic intervals etc.) more so than anything else I've heard in a long time

[YankeesDMB41]

the revisionist history is annoying me a little...everyone has called this song a turd for 10 years

[justink]

Dumb.

I'm sure it will sell just fine. But live compilations are lame. We've got tapes already.

Would be much cooler if it were an unreleased / b-sides box. Empty out the vault.

Oh well. So much for a big 25th anniversary release.

[hensleytyler44]

So, was anyone at any of these performances?<br>
<br>
I didn't see a single one I attended

Big Eyed Fish > Granny at Deer Creek in 2013 was a really solid one-two punch to open the show

[TwoStep2888]

never liked Jackpot, but I remember liking Break for It when I heard it years ago

[drop2d]

This looks nice but I'm not sure I can justify the pricetag... $7 a track? Eeeeeh.

Also, why are people assuming there won't be a download with this? Anyone ever bought NEW vinyl these days that didn't come with a DL card?

[kingofkings]

very upset about this. i don't listen to vinyl because i like listening to music in the car. to think that the only people that would enjoy this music listen to vinyl is ridiculous. it's the dream release for everyone on this site, all the rare songs live in one package. to not have it as a cd box set, or at the very least a download is crazy. and to not say whether or not a download card would be inside the vinyl box is just stupid.

I wonder if that's partially why there's no digital release for it. Vinyl only to satisfy the vinyl fans who have been dying for something like this? I don't know.

As for the bold, I'd say that's something more for when the band is done. As someone said a few pages back, we'll end up spending more money on releases when the band is done than we ever did while they were still playing

I'm surprised they did anything for the 25th. Outside of naming the tour in '16 #DMB25, I would have assumed they'd do nothing of note

Yeah, there's a decent amount that don't have a DL card.

None of the LT Box Sets have; Red Rocks did because it was a Sony Legacy release. I'm not convinced this will have a download card though.

Top 3 in the last decade?

[snow1868]

They're not going to miss an opportunity to cash in on this and only limit themselves to 2500 releases. There's requests for digital all over their social media right now, there's going to be a digital release later.

[jets42689]

Some are obvious, but can anyone identify what is "special" or unique about each of these performances?

Cool idea, but not gonna spend the money. I'm sure the tracks all surface at some point.

Side A
1. Seek Up (8.29.95 – Philadelphia, PA – Mann Center) Sold performance from the early days and just short enough to make it onto a vinyl
2. JTR (5.2.01 – Greenville, SC – Bi-Lo Center) only time Rain on Me refrain opened JTR. Unique lyrics

Side B
1. You Never Know (8.24.03 – E. Rutherford, NJ – Continental Airlines Arena) One of the best YNK's ever. Great Roi
2. Don’t Burn The Pig (7.31.02 – Bristow, VA – Nissan Pavilion at Stone Ridge) For as much love as the 4.2.02 one gets, this one is better - Best Boyd performance
3. The Stone (9.2.00 – Charlotte, NC – Blockbuster Pavilion) beloved fan favorite performance, and still considered among the top 3 Stone's ever

Side C
1. Shotgun (8.15.09 – W. Palm Beach, FL – Cruzan Amphitheatre) among the best Shotgun performances ever - great powerful version
2. A Dream So Real (9.22.07 Dallas, TX – Smirnoff Music Center) probably the best ADSR ever. Dave's scratchy vocal gives the song a bit more body,
and Rashawn and Roi are great on it
3. Busted Stuff (8.25.00 Hartford, CT – Meadows Music Theatre) Roi is fantastic on this gem that people will soon realize is the best Busted Stuff ever

Side D
1. Kit Kat Jam (6.20.03 – Darien Center, NY – Darien Lake PAC) Roi shines, great unique lyrics, really captures the mood of Dave in 03
2. Lover Lay Down (6.22.00 - Noblesville, IN – Deer Creek Music Center) beautiful rendition - Roi shines once again
3. Doobie Thing (8.31.93 – Charlottesville, VA – Trax) 1st Doobie - only multi of it, great great jam that needs to be heard.

Side E
1. Snow Outside (5.30.15 – Atlanta, GA – Aaron’s Amphitheatre at Lakewood) beautiful, underrated, and unheard version (unless you were there). Jeff and Rashawn carry the outro.
2. Warehouse (6.22.96 – Clarkston, MI – Pine Knob Music Theatre) Toy Soldiers intro, great BT

Side F
1. Say Goodbye (7.25.00 – Denver, CO – Mile High Stadium) One of the best Say Goodbye's ever - nice makeup for the error of not putting it on the BOWA v1 disc (as its listed on there)
2. #41 (12.29.96 – Landover, MD – USAir Arena) if you ever wanted to hear the album version live, this is it. Sounds exactly like the album, great Roi on sax and flute, BT is great - driving performance.

Side G
1. Don’t Drink The Water (7.13.04 – Darien Center, NY – Darien Lake PAC) powerful performance, great intro, really shines and might be the best track overall
2. Big Eyed Fish > Granny (6.21.13 – Noblesville, IN – Klipsch Music Center) nice two for one extra track, with fan fav BEF (with great Jeff) and a super tight Granny

Side H
1. Raven (4.4.02 – Washington, DC – MCI Center) This is the best Raven ever. Stefan's bass carries the song. Great Roi, Dave's emotion bleeds through the lyrics
2. #34 (8.20.05 – George, WA – The Gorge Amphitheatre) simply a beautiful performance
3. I’ll Back You Up (11.7.96 – Seattle, WA – KeyArena at Seattle Center) Dave tells a wonderful story of how he played this for Carter, and then gives a powerful lyric with accompaniment from Carter

Side I
1. Bartender (4.7.02 – Boston, MA – Fleet Center) the #1 fan fav performance of the song. Butch plays a beautiful outro with If I Only had a Brain interpolation
2. Falling Off The Roof (7.8.07 – Bridgeview, IL – Toyota Park) only live performance - it sticks with you

Side J
1. Break For It (7.4.10 – Elkorn, WI – Alpine Valley Music Center) rare live song, this is the best Break For It
2. Rhyme & Reason (9.27.94 – Charlottesville, VA – McIntire Amphitheatre) early performance, powerful - great Carter and Stefan. Dedicated to Lillywhite
3. What You Are (6.14.08 – Hartford, CT – New England Dodge Music Center) features a Lying in the Hands of God interpolation, great lyric from Dave.
Probably the best WYA ever





now you feel better?

Wondering the same myself. A few are obvious fan favorites (Bartender 4/7/02, Falling off the Roof, Doobie Thing, Toy Soldiers>Warehouse, etc)

Regardless, not everything needs to be super special since every song picked is amazing. Really really excited about this, it's like 3 amazing WH discs dumped at once

yeah those crappy sounding tapes are way better than professionally mixed/mastered songs.

I don't remember anyone ever saying anything negative about it, you could be right but I had a completely different impression

[jets42689]

Thanks Jake. I already bought it but yes haha

[jets42689]

Praying it comes with a digital download bc i have no equipment nor do i have $900 to spend
