Randall's Island 2 will never get an official release. If you listen to the boot, you hear Ed multiple times stopping the show and asking the crowd to calm down. At one point he tells the crowd that someone is going to get hurt and they couldn't go on as a band if someone were to die at one of their shows. I think the show touches on way too sensitive of a subject considering what happened in 2000 to ever get an official release.
I would love for it to be released. It was my first show and it kicked ass. But I doubt it ever sees the light of day as a band issued boot.

I think 'the band have had a huge input into the first two reissues so I'm sure they will next time too.... And I figure they won't have time for it for some time
Exactly. It will probably be getting worked on in late 2012, you know, after the new album and world tour are over.
the band has said repeately that they are tired of looking back and really excited to just concentrate on the "now", so don't hold you breath on this.
personally, I don't care. If they release a cd like live at the orpheum then I'll buy that, but all the extra shit is nothing.
This sort of thing isn't entirely in the band's hands, though. Is it? I thought it's mostly Sony that's driving these reissues.
that is correct, but if the band says "put out whatever you want, we aren't getting involved", then that's their choice. Sony can't really go through Jeff's stuff without his permission.

judging by their reissues and box sets chronology, it should be released in early 2013-
No Code/Yield super deluxe box set (w/ most likely a live show(s) from that era on SUPER RARE ONLY GOD ITSELF CAN CONCEIVE OF vinyl)

As much as people don't want to hear it, if the band isn't bothered with doing further reissues, I don't see any reason for Sony to want to either. Ten, Vs., and Vitalogy went platinum a combined twenty-five times in the US. No Code and Yield both only went platinum once, and everything since then stalled at gold.
Besides, Yield is already as well documented through official releases as any of the first three albums were between the releases of Single Video Theory and Live on Two Legs.
(I'm not saying I don't want them to reissue everything. I would love it if eventually everything got an exhaustive, Super Deluxe reissue. I just don't know that it's a foregone conclusion that it will happen. I could see the remainder of the catalog just getting the "Single disc remastered with bonus tracks" treatment...)

Well, my point was that, if Sony says they're going to do it, it's going to happen. I can't really see the band telling Sony to go ahead and re-release the albums as they see fit without getting involved somehow. I guess it could happen, but that seems unlikely to me.
My guess is the guys "hang out" way more often than "make music." The band has plenty and I mean PLENTY of time to sit down and do a re-issue. Do these guys even know what an alarm clock is?! I personally cannot wait for Binaural/Riot Act on vinyl. Mmmmmm mm!
i fell in love with the ten re-release, wasn't a big fan of the vs/vitalogy. not enough extras. i can't wait for no code/yield. yield is one of my favorite albums of all time.. i just hope the ten club releases the super deluxe box set in stores. it would be nice to get it the day it comes out
