    I don't like the breaks between songs or the overall quality of the sound. Previous years were much betterer.

    They didn't have to halt the digital downloads. I get they had issues with the discs which is really bad. But why stop releasing digital copies while they caught up and fixed the issues.

    That and a simple post could have been done here from them explaining what was going on the plan going forward.

    I would say disappointing, mostly because i cant wait to hear the dallas and okc shows that i attended. At least ive got pittsburgh to enjoy. A little communication would help out.

    mixing -- terrific. the best since 2003
    production/quality control / shipping --- awful. never been worse in the 13 years the bootlegs have been around.

    I have no issue with the sound quality. I like the mix for the most part.
    There are a few songs with some strange noises in them and the seconds between track that's not great either.
    I wouldn't really mind the waiting so much had there been some communication about it. We're in februari now I take it being closed during the holidays is no longer the reason for the delay.
    I'm glade they gave me the download codes to the shows I orderd.
    It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

    I think the sound quality is great, but the service is definitely lacking. Might be a little more pissed off if I was still waiting on my shows to be released though

    Charlottesville for those of us who got it, was amazing and there has been a good effort by those of us who got it to share it with those who haven't heard it yet, but the anticipation of the west coast shows is killing me at this point

    The background vocals are very loud, and I like that. Cool to hear the other voices.

    whoever is making decision s on the actual music related releases is doing a bad job. Think about it, bootleg problems, Vinyl issues. I think the band is way too focused on money, and the products (physcial ones) are suffering.

    I dunno yet. They sent an email saying shipped on the 29th, but nothing avail via tracking still a week later. Fingers crossed as to sound quality & packaging. I really want to argue hrd2imgn a bit & give the band the benefit of doubt, but.....that was my 1st definite quality snafu LP I think I've ever had. Warping, pops; I'll attribute to my poor cleaning & sunstroke. But outright skips on 2 turntables on 3 different songs....I can see your argument.
