Re: Let's Play Two: Live from Wrigley Field
Listening to the soundtrack album right now...
I was totally expecting to enjoy it, but I'm not impressed in the slightest. I can't put my finger on what it is, but a lot of the magic in their live performance is somehow gone for me.
And why does the audience sound like they are underwater? It's very, very strange. The music sounds clear, which is the most important thing I guess, but the crowd sounds like they were recorded with a mini-cassette recorder. It's weird.

At this point, I really would prefer a live show on blue ray than another documentary. We have Single Video Theory which will never be topped for an inside look at their creative process, the 2006 Italian tour doc, PJ20, and Lets Play Two. I am less interested in their words at this point than their performances.

Think of all of the PRAMG dollars available to them if they started selling videos of each show. I'm actually kind of surprised it hasn't been done by now.

Re: Let's Play Two: Live from Wrigley Field
i feel the same, but even phish, a band who seems to be way ahead of most when it comes to monetizing their live shows, doesn't do that. phish offers live video webcasts of most shows on their tours these days, near-immediate post show downloads (and choice to order made-to-order cds), and select physical live releases, but they've yet to offer regular tour shows on vod or disc, something they obviously seem fully capable of doing. so maybe there are some bigger hurdles to that process than we think. i hope it happens one day, though. with pj doing so few shows a tour now, at the very least i would be they could make some bank doing live webcasts of tour shows like phish does.E.H.

Yes, also as in every time they played Thin Air from 2000 to 2003 they managed to screw it up.

Pretty sure the who do the live dvd thing. You can buy it online as soon as the shows over.
Remember seeing pj in Brooklyn a few years back and the onscreen footage was remarkably good and thinking I’d buy that if it were available.
It’s sort of odd they haven’t tapped into that yet.

This would actually be a PRAMG that wouldn’t bother me one bit... I’m looking at you socks, dog collars, and trading cards.

Re: Let's Play Two: Live from Wrigley Field
I just put this on to get my kid (who's never been to a concert) ready for Baltimore. Man, when Low Light kicks in at the beginning. Woah. Man, I love that.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
