Dave Matthews Band

Damn I just ordered both shows on vinyl.  I hate you guys!!! In all seriousness, I couldn’t pass this up. $35 for a show on vinyl?!  Hello Pearl Jam, please take notes.

What's the deal with their posters at shows. Easy to come by or not?

I would say tougher than PJ. every single DMB poster we have is signed and numbered....usually 750, max.

Good show in Philly. Was hoping for a couple of the songs they started out the tour with but Say Goodbye and So Right made up for it.

RSD were $45 at my store, and with these black vinyl versions being $35 for a 4LP sets... wow these sets are priced great.

So how many of these types of releases has dmb done on vinyl?  I love the simplicity of the packaging.

We had great Cville shows and prints.  

Outstanding posters! And I heard the shows were awesome as well!!

You got more room on your wall for another framed Tsang or Flames?

I'm actually rotating prints in and out of frames now.  I do this with PJ prints too.  It's amazing how many mat combinations can be reused and look great.  Makes my life easier and cheaper.  I've been out of room for some time. 

My fav poster from weekend was actually the Methane tour poster.  There have been three Tsang DMB prints, Tampa 16, Va Beach 18 and now C'ville, and coincidentally I was at all three shows.  
And yes, they were dynamite shows.  The best was the opening act, which was the New Orleans Preservation Hall Jazz Band.  They are a true jazz band and they killed it!  Then they came out and played with DMB during the show and it was a blast.  So...many...horns.

I love the packaging also, I have said it before, but they remind my a lot of the 2000 PJ boots.

Did you (or anyone) get these?  I never pulled the trigger since I have so much DMB live already.  Are they special, audio wise, or do they sound digital?

4. they released 2 with the new album and now these 2.
They have a DL version where they have done maybe a dozen shows. maybe more (?). So I expect those to be in the pipeline. I enjoy these shows more than the live Trax TBH. Better era IMO and reminds me of the tapes I used to trade for when I was in High School.

What were the other two on vinyl?

Tim Simmons said:

I have all 4.

So The DMBLive is different than the live trax. The Live Trax are multi channel sources with a good AUD mix (Pretty sure it was 96 when they started multitracking the shows) and are professionally mixed. DMBlives are sourced from DATs of old board mixes and have minimal post. So these are warts and all type live releases.  That being said, the pressings are well cut and well made. The shows don't have the oomph that the well mixed LTs do. But they are mixed to sound better than the DSBDs that were traded back in the 90s. Its probably the only ways we are gonna get great old DMB shows. 

I have the first two and I think your assessment is dead on.  I do think that the Live Trax boxes sound amazing though, far superior than the Live Series.  I'm sure the lack of remixing is where we save the money.  
BTW - the best, by far, DMB live is the Live 25.  I almost didn't pull the trigger when it was released due to the price, but I'm so glad I did.  The sound is spectacular and the choices they included were a die-hard's dream.
