    I hope they release a Vault box set of shows that haven’t been released! Just do it in one lump sum! Bam!

    Once it became about vinyl it became less about the contents of the vault, and that's a shame. Many of the shows people ask for in these threads are already available on CD and in lossless formats. They want them on vinyl, which is fine and an obvious moneymaker for the band, but it has nothing to do with any vault.

    The vinyl obsession is so ridiculous and has killed the Vault series. Who wants to flip records six times to listen to a 2-3 hour show? If it wasn’t for the “need for vinyl” and pressing issues, we could and should be getting a monthly digital Vault show. Especially during these slow times, why not keep the fan base engaged with Vault releases via Nugs?

    Gah! Sorry. This is a sore subject with me. 
    It's nice to have a physical copy of some of these shows and they do a nice job with the packaging

    I’d rather have the complete show since digital has no limitations than nice packaging. Like @JimmyV said, for me it’s about the music. I guess it’s no different than how merch-madness has taken over the concerts.

    I think this dovetails nicely into the discussion how much they actually have in the vault in complete form.

    If flipping a record becomes a chore, maybe the hobby isn't for you. Its kinda ingrained in the thing. 

    Also, with the way the band releases stuff, theres no guarantee we would be getting more if things were digital only.

    I mean, could they? for sure. But they also could release vinyl at the same clip. I think in general the band and management are measured in terms of what gets put out into the world. We may not like their reasons (or get explanations for them), but at the end of the day it is their content.

    Never has been. I listen to every PJ show, every tour in order, as well as audience recordings of many other bands that I or other tapers tape, almost all digital/FLAC. 

    And I don’t begrudge people that enjoy the activity, but I hate that bands have started to delay releases because of the vinyl supply chain issues.

    Just watched an interview with Jeff from Aug 2021. Two things of note: 

    1) he said they have the next few mapped out
    2) he knows people want older shows, but most of them aren’t “on DAT”, or they are missing some of the show, etc. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Is that the same interview where he said something along the lines of "we usually are working on two at any given time, and right now one is a mix of soundboard and audience recordings?"

    The only bootleg I can't find, and I hope it will be released on the vault someday, was the show at Wrigley Field from 2013, it was the only time , in Chicago anyways, they played "Bugs" live 
    My prediction is they will release it as a vault, but had technical difficulties and Bugs was not recorded.
    Bummer! It makes sense it wasn't recorded, if memory serves, I think it was the first song after the rain
    I think mace is joking about how historically pj tends to leave a song or two off records. So bugs may be there if it ever comes out. ;)
    Haha, yes. That was just my prediction. They’ve left songs off before due to technical difficulties, tape changes, etc. So of course it would happen to the one song they never play. I’m just betting on Murphy’s law.

    i read an article from 2021 the other day that said the same thing. Wonder if it was the same interview. My first thought was I wonder if he was talking about rereleasing 1 and 2 as vinyl

    They can sunset the thing any time, regardless of what Jeff said 2 years ago

    You really think so? I have found the Vault packaging to be pretty uninspired, especially for what they cost. It's a sturdy package, but other than that it's pretty blah. Basically no liner notes. No color photos. Many of the photos are blurred or washed out.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I love the minimal, bootleggy vibe of it.

    I like that phrase. Very poetic. I'm gonna steal that.

    I think I see where we diverge - I don't have the time, desire (or space) to listen to every show every tour

    Can't wait for the Vault 11 Atlanta '94 vinyl release.
