    It's fun to bitch about shit like this. You know, we all hang around and commiserate about how awful the process is and it makes a crappy situation feel just a little less crappy because other people are going through the same thing. I ordered my Boston shows the first day and finally got my shipping confirm from Nugs this past Friday. The fact is, like I posted earlier in this thread, I know going in that Nugs is usually around a one month process so I don't sweat it. Also, I heard the broadcasts so many times on Sirius PJ channel that I kinda needed to not hear them for a while. It's all good.

    Shit, at this point I'm starting to focus my energies more on whether they will ever make the Chicago shows available.

    The delays are painful, but I always remain thankful these shows are made available to us.

    100% sure, have them in my hands right now. I'm only talking Fenway, can't speak for other shows. I kinda assumed that is all anyone is waiting for at the moment.

    His were Fenway as well, and they're not Silver's, they were the same CD-R's as the two FL shows he had received earlier this year.

    Unlucky for him. Just opened night 2... they are also beautiful silver discs with a real painted on label, not a sticker. Each disc has an identifier PJ160805DX (where X is the disc number) stamped on the inner ring.

    Just because they're silver, and have printing on them, doesn't mean they're silver pressed.

    Straight from the e-mail from Nugs I sent them about the Fenway CD's.

    "CDs are professionally printed and duplicated on the highest quality CDRs and packaged in cardboard slipcases with custom artwork including the track listing."

    So you think they bought specialty CD-Rs with the concert date and disc number PJ160805DX (where X is the disc number) stamped into the inner ring, which is completely unnecessary because the date and disc number are also on the front? If so, I have a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in.

    Regardless, why do you care so much. They look and sound awesome. Stop arguing minutiae on the internet and go get some fresh air.

    Relax, people are just wondering. If you are right these are the first individual silver pressed bootlegs (non box set) since 2003.

    You and me both brother. I ordered August 26th, as soon as they were available. Still waiting. My buddy ordered his after me, but he wrote a letter to complain. Apparently they ship out to the customers who complained first, because he received his on Monday and I'm still waiting. They're shipped I think.

    ordered mine on the 26th within the first half hour they were available. still did not arrive today. if they don't arrive tomorrow Friday will be 6 full weeks since the order went through. as i said before i have never ordered anything on the internet that has taken as long as these bootlegs do to be delivered. i did receive digital copies from a very generous 10C member here so i have heard both shows but i mostly listen in my car which is why i get the actual cds. i know there are issues with shipping of other items for other people as well. doesn't mean i have to like it :confused:
  • Both Fenway Bootlegs arrived in my mailbox today!!!!
    ordered on Aug27

  • This is starting to get annoying! I placed my order at 2pm on August 26th. Still haven't received mine. My buddy who lives 5 minutes from me, who ordered his after me, got his on Monday!

    Just got my two Fenways today. Ordered directly from Nugs.
    How do you tell if they're pressed silver? The label smells like a fresh poster.
