I am glad they continued the vault series. It is a very good show. I get aggregated and disappointed when their vault show is chopped and when it's already well-circulated above-average-quality-source show.

Next vault show: Give Way.

[Birds in Hell]

Hard to compare a show that's long been available in official release quality (Give Way) to one that's acknowledged as a classic show yet only ever been available on a variety of pretty bad sounding sources. It's not like they're releasing Atlanta 1994, Berlin 1996 or Melbourne 1995.

As for being chopped, the chances of the band sitting on a treasure trove of complete multitrack recordings from pre-2000 are pretty much nil. They weren't recording these shows with the intention of release, it's pretty amazing they have what they do. I think it's advisable to expect every Vault release to be missing something.

Exactly Spenno - well said.

What we do know is that they started recording all shows in multitrack from the beginning of the Yield tour - the PJ20 book says they originally planned to put out a show from the Australia/NZ tour (then went with LO2L instead), so hopefully we'll get something from that last Jack tour eventually. Knowing 10C it'll probably be Melbourne 1998-03-05

[Strat]

Yea, I should probably just order it. 5

[CopperTom]

The Soldier Field sources that circulate are not bad. Not even close. Give Way is a nice lazy next choice. I was making no correlation between the two. Just a guess on what comes next.

[Strat]

I rather them just edit the digital tracks into the show :\

i just did bc i like to live on the edge

The missing tracks are the last 7 songs of the show so they obviously just ran out of tape

Or lost them

I would have taken them just slapping the digital tracks on another LP

[Norah]

Just play them after.

[Birds in Hell]

Just do the sensible thing and buy the digital files instead, Strat.

[Anders]

Putting the digital files on an extra LP would be the sensible thing to do. Still glad they have released this officially. A good show.

Are people vinyl fetishists to the insane degree that they want a crummy sounding radio broadcast included just because, well, it's on vinyl?

No answer necessary, of course.

Its my preferred way to listen to music. Why is that so strange? I love collecting them, i love pulling them out and putting them on a table and letting the needle head downward. its fun. I enjoy it. Im not arguing sound quality, im just saying that I enjoy this process the best. And i do love the big artwork and all that jazz. Thats okay, spenno.

And for tossing the digital tracks on at the end on a new LP ? Well that would just be nice so i can continue listening in such a way.

Ill also have the digital tracks.

In your opinion. The fact that it's only available in mono should be enough of a reason not to complain.

I understand wanting to listen to a studio album on vinyl, particularly one that was originally sequenced for release that way (eg. records that have a well thought out side A and B, etc.) It seems like a monumentally weird way to listen to a whole live show, though - changing countless vinyl sides and whatnot.
