    Its funny, I hate the packaging on the DMB sets. The chip cardboard look is great. I hate how its like an envelope. Its also kind of difficult to get the records in/out. I would have preferred a gatefold or a slipcase like the Live Trax. 

    The records sound fantastic though. Hope they keep the series going.

    Yeah me too. At 40% of the price of the Live Trax or Luther, I'll take the lesser packaging though

    I've got some kind of DMB karma that's been going on for the last few days. A couple days ago I pointed out to my wife that DMB is playing Montreal in December on a Saturday night. Yesterday she scored some cheap return train tix from Toronto to Montreal and a great rate on a room at a really nice hotel. Ok cool, now all we need is tickets for the show. Today just before heading out for a run I said what the hell and ordered the latest Live Trax set. I get home and decided to check the ticketing site just in case there was a ticket drop... Boom, I scored a pair of GA Pit tix. I'm going to see DMB in Montreal and I've got GA Pit tix!!!

    Fantastic!  Good news is you don't have to sleep out like you do for PJ.  I always get there when it opens, one person goes to the pit, the other to poster stand.  Warehouse gets in 15 minutes before anyone else down in the States.  I'll be at the two JPJ Charlottesville shows.  Whenever they do a winter tour, the last two shows are usually the home ones.  I always enjoy some indoor DMB>

    This will be my first indoor DMB experience. I'm still kicking myself for skipping the winter tour when Jimmy Cliff was the opener.

    Was that in 12?  That's the last winter tour I remember, but could be wrong.  The Lumineers opened and that's when they were just getting going.  It was cool because after they played, they came down into the pit and watched the show with the rest of us.

    Yes you are correct, it was 2012.

    My local store ordered the two Black Friday sets, but he did not receive them. If anyone can grab one of each, I can pick up whatever you'd like, assuming he ordered it, as I am usually first in line. Or if not, pay you back with a little extra for your troubles. Thanks!

    Yea, the RSD versions are regional. But the DMB shop will probably issue black vinyl versions later, like they have on all the other sets.

    Ahh, didn't notice the RSD ones were white vinyl until I looked again just now. Thanks for the heads-up, you may have saved me some money. :)

    So if it says "RSD Limited Run / Regional Focus", you think that's the same RSD first?

    For some they are. I would be surprised if DMB doesn’t issue a reg version of these later.

    Looks like the coverart will be the same as the other DMBLive that were released with the studio album this year.

    The brown paper bag stuff? Meh. It was okay but I like the live trax boxes myself.

    yes.  I wonder if they'll go back to pressing the live trax they've already done on cd.

    Next LT would be the Fenway shows. That would be a massive set. Plus those shows suck.

    I'd be fine if they jumped to the Hampton show on LT7.

    They still owe us Before These Crowded Streets, Lillywhite (please, please) and Central Park.  Also, the Gorge release was before that, which was an excellent set.  I agree that Fenway wasn't good.  I'm not sure why, but it never captured me.
