We are getting the heartbeat intro...cool, the SMTS ASTB TM, that's cool too, Say Goodbye is a tune from 2001 that is a highlight. Funny How Time Slips Away is cool. Then of course a monster Two Step will be the biggest highlight from this disc. EVERY other song is showcased on Folsom Field or LT 31. Those songs didn't evolve much at all from June to July to August. We are basically getting this same show with 4 - 5 songs not repeated. I wish they would have picked something without so many repeats. A 2001 Crush, Seek Up or LIOG would have been nice. I don't know what I'm saying, just surprised at the positive comments, when we basically already have these songs from 2001 in previous releases.

Well yeah, 2001 is an album year

[two-by-twostep]

that sounds fantastic, can't wait for this to be released

[camptravisr]

Awesome version, definitely gonna pick this one up now.

Are there any incentives to pre-ordering LTs before release day? I’m a Warehouse member, so would I get a further discount on either the order or shipping if I were to pre-order? I have no interest whatsoever on the T-shirt, hoodie, pint glass or whatever you can bundle a pre-order this with. I only want the actual show itself, but I’ve noticed I could buy a CD right now of LT55 to LT50 (that’s about how far back I’ve checked, it may go further back aways).

[SeekUpTheCubs]

Not anymore. there hasnt been a bonus disc in ages. so if you dont care about the shirts or whatever, then nope. I dont always pre-order. this one i did because im more excited for it and just want it sooner

[RSSR]

Alright, pre-ordered anyways. Looking forward to this!

I think they give you a quick HJ with your order now if you tip.

I don't get the point of pre-ordering unless you just can't wait for the physical media to arrive.. But even then you have to pay extra to get it on the release day. They must have just enough of us that it still makes sense.

[JimiBillies]

If you drink a Molson while you listen to this show in reverse, you'll get to see the Wizard.

Good! Just wanted to know. Thanks.

[two-by-twostep]

listened to the Light Lift Me Up soundcheck today, and man, what a missed opportunity (what else is new?) to not release it as a preorder bonus. still really excited for this release, but as someone who actually cares about the music and not apparel, there's literally zero incentive to preorder.

[RSSR]

Any announcements from musictoday that your package has been placed in the mail yet for anyone? Do they start going out tomorrow morning?

[RSSR]

Just got a shipping notification email from Musictoday that my LT56 copy was placed in the mail. Super pumped.

[Cptn. Monkeyman]

Got my shipping notification as well. This is gonna be a good one

Sounds like a very good mix to me, better than recent LT releases.

laststopdmb, what your saying is basically true, but let me add a couple of thoughts:

• If we are getting a monster Two Step (and from snippet sound quality is excellent + duration 18’ seems appropriate), well, this by itself it would be already a reason to buy the CD.

• So Right from Folsom is just great but also overplayed. I wonder if this So Right has something different (it lasts 30 sec more).

• Having BEF>>Bartender, So Right and Two Step in the same album is pretty cool.

It is just a short version, 1.30

[RSSR]

Well, it's a Roi show. Anything with Roi gets pre-ordered by me. I'd still buy shows '08 on anyway.

[stixbradtle]

I just downloaded (Friday afternoon here in Australia) - looking forward to a good night of listening!

[MarkMilberg]

I had no trouble downloading it and I'm quite happy with the mix (but I'm listening to mp3s via headphones, not FLAC through a $20,000 system).

It's a great listen so far.

[crashintonickdm]

Gonna grab the files for the ride home today. Very strong show set wise and you know the performances of the classics are near peak

[SPAC_Boy]

Through DDTW, it sounds good. Haven’t come up with the conclusion of which mix is better between this and LT 31. Right now, LT 31 has the edge though

[djamieb]

I'm a handful of songs in - solid release so far! They sound very tight and it's a really nice mix.

Slammin' version of Too Much. SO good! Love these lyrics near the end...

"I got a stomach full
not a chip on my shoulder
Uncle Sam
Got his grand..."

&

"I drink too much
Think too much
Give up too much
Too much"

Excellent start. Looking forward to hearing the rest!

[SPAC_Boy]

So Right was an absolute head banger. Great energy

[SPAC_Boy]

Boyd sounds good on Space Between.

[djamieb]

GREAT Bartender!! That was an awesome version! Dave's wailing is controlled and super powerful.

Also, this Angel is outstanding. If you've heard it, you know what I'm talking about. It's funky as hell. And they sounded amazing on that song in 2001. Not gonna lie - takes on a totally different meaning when the LL's are singing about the angels and they start with Roi; that hit pretty hard. So grateful to have each and every show they release with him.
