    Next week, disc 1 gets a digital release. So far have just heard the tracks on the podcast, but haven’t gone back to listen. Infinitely better than Cyr.
    It’s up on iTunes.
    Nice! You’re right! I’ll have to give it a proper listen. It is certainly more varied in style/sound than Cyr was. I’ve listened to that a couple times and have a hard time distinguishing the tracks between each other. Although Cyr the song was great live in Atlanta.

    Listened to disc 1 and it's pretty meh to me. Beguiled is a great song so maybe the other discs have potential. I really love Cyr. I think it rocks front to back. These new songs are pretty mid tempo and nothing stands out.

    I was there last night and it was boring as hell. I never would’ve gone but my wife got two tickets off a facebook group for 80 bucks total. I’m not a fan by any means, but they have maybe 7-10 songs i would say i like. Most of the lower bowl around us sat the whole show, odd for lower bowl. Hardly any clapping or cheering between songs. And then the loooooooooooong guitar play with no  tie to any song MORE than once, and the looooooooong drum solo. I hate drum solos. Around 10 o’clock we went on a bathroom run and as i was waiting for the wife people were streaming out of the exits. Never saw anything like it. We left after 1979, missed a couple, but really did not care at all. We had reservations for the Keg, had to go get our steak and lobster late dinner going. 
    Yep, just a bland, boring, concert. Even the hits came across flat to me. 4 out of 10 👎👎

    I can respect this opinion and when i last saw them in 2000 I walked out feeling it was a 1 out of 10. That time they played maybe one well known song at a festival set. Last night they played a bunch more so for that reason alone I liked it.
    It’s too bad, cause i actually told my wife to grab the tickets and was looking forward to it, as we go to our share of shows. But, it just didn’t happen for me, boring to no end🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
    Just checked the set;ist for this show.  Hot damn. Last 5 songs should have left you wanting more.

    Ordered Rubano Tapes volume 2. I've got the first 3 archive series releases, felt a little compelled to buy this to keep up the series but honestly I don't know how far beyond this I can go which is what I said last time, it's just too expensive.

    They are using Furnace I believe. I recall some years ago my bandmate and I looked to use them for pressing our record. Crazy pricey.

    Yeah no doubt. I know this is Rubano Tapes volume 2 but left a bit disappointed that even the sleeve is the same image this time around.

    Same, though they have these in hand, so no 6 month wait! Now that these are finished, I am STOKED to see what they have coming up for the archive!

    Yeah it was good that they are ready to ship and no year long wait. Its like all of these archive releases though I feel I have to buy them all just like PJ Vaults. 

    PJ Vaults work out half the price of these Pumpkins releases for me.

    Yeah I've had that a few times on things recently and cancelled. I'm getting a bit better and more picky about what vinyl I buy. My collection has too many live and demo recording type records in it. Was doing so well this year but was weak this time around. I had $50 international shipping on top as well on this and I can see that its total madness yet still bought it.

    Yeah, I’ll just keep it, but will definitely be more discerning next time with these!

    Rubano Tapes volume 2 arrived today. Quality of the vinyl and pressing seems pretty good. Still the wide spine single pocket sleeve which I'm not keen on. Came with a few creases which is disappointing for the money, it was packed well though and doesnt look like it's happened in shipping. Just one of these things.

    The next few weeks can’t pass quickly enough, just grabbed tix for the Toronto show on September second, haven’t seen them live since the Adore tour! Got my first NFT in the deal, lol!

    My ex says she wants to go but by way of comparison she’s taken me twice to see Bon Jovi, lol. I played her a couple of the OG videos and she didn’t remember them at all so I’ve suggested she check out more videos, especially recent live ones so she has an idea what she’s in for. This sure as shit ain’t Bon Jovi (not that there’s anything wrong with Bon Jon, I was pleasantly impressed with their shows), lol, and there’s no way I’m leaving before the last note is played, lol.
