    Best - Mixing up setlists and official bootleg series
    Worst - BOB remix of Ten 
    I couldn't disagreed more. I love it and think it's way superior to the original mix. Overall that is....because I do prefer the original mix of Jeremy. 
    yep, nostalgia-wise, 1991 mix. pure sound wise, BOB remix. far superior.

    I listened to the 1991 mix a few months ago for the 30th anniversary of Ten.....and probably won't listen to again until the 40th anniversary. The songs just seemed neutered beneath all that reverb. 

    But I did mention that I still prefer the original mix of Jeremy. On the new mix, they made one of Eddie's vocal tracks at the end (The one where he's just going "ooo ooo ooo ooo" over and over), way too prominent in the mix. Feels like a woodpecker pecking at my brain.

    I’m just happy I have an OG Ten on vinyl. The remix stuff gathers dust.

    Best: changing the live shows up as much as they do.

    Worst: bee girl, closely followed by Yellow Moon and Parachutes
    Bee Girl I can forgive because it was never on an album, the other 2...yikes. And throw Buckle Up in there to complete the trifecta.
    Tots agree.

    Oh man.  Backspacers in my top 5.  :lol:   Love it.  

    Ten and Backspacer are the “easiest” listens in my opinion.

    Best decision is the setlist by far. Without that the magic of the live shows would be no where near what they have been. 

    Worst decision is a hard one to pick. I will go with leaving off of some of the amazing songs we have on Lost Dogs on their first 6 albums.

    I actually think at some point this will happen - if we can do the vaults, there is zero reason not to believe they can't re-issue the Benny - no need for remastering etc.  The collectors will not lose their value in the numbered originals - just change the color of the record jacket.  35th Anniversary release - 2026!
