Two at my record store they have a couple blue label second presses.

I'm on the fence, I have ten songs from Carnegie and it's amazing but do I need 6lps? Is it worth it guys?

1,000 times yes. Listen to it on Spotify first if you want to be sure. You wouldn't be getting it for the song catalogue, you'd be getting it because those were two amazing shows with Ryan in top form plus some goofy banter.

I think list price is $89.99 but Soundstage now has it up for $69.99 (sonofa... ). It's widely available so definitely don't pay more than list price. Also check eBay / discogs, who knows, maybe there are flippers trying to offload for cheap.

It sounds great.

So from reading through this, I gather that $65 is a good price? I noticed a couple negative comments about the set lists. What is your issue with them?

I like the set it sounds amazing!
Only problem is the whole last side of each night is audience applause and no music.

Those were two of the best shows (of any band) that I have ever been to. I don't understand setlist complaints in general. For me, the experience of a good show is so much more than just the setlist.

The recordings are amazing, and the box packaging is great

First and second pressings of Carnegie are up at PaxAm's vinyl store. Don't recall what I originally paid to them for mine but the prices presently listed seem to have gone up. A bit confused as to why 2nd pressing is so much more expensive at PaxAm than it can be found at a bunch of other outlets. Anyhow, for those that are interested, they're there.

Noticed that too. Remembering my original panic of not being able to score the first press and almost got another copy

$89.99 was original list price but yea, other retailers have since lowered.

Isn't it great when your parents send you money instead of a birthday present?

And isn't it even better when your wife intercepts the money and goes out to buy something for you?

And isn't it proof that my wife is completely fking awesome when she got me this?...



An indie store here in Sydney finally got one in a few weeks ago and I'd been trying to justify getting it (it was $190AUD, still a little cheaper than shipping one from PaxAm). I guess she got tired of me talking about it!

I see the box online for $60, is that an ok price?
