Honestly that is one of the best recorded rock performances that I have come across. "There it is, kids." A few years ago I found a vhs recording of MGB at SnowJob ‘99

When I was in Victoria, I visited a record store that had the original five song copy on vinyl for $7. When I brought it up to the counter, the store clerk asked me if I wanted to order in the extended delux edition on vinyl, and I told him I was just fine with what the world got to hear first. :) PS: I don't think it would be Townshend who you would have had to worry about messing with any live tracks. Now, ENTWISTLE...well, rumour had it that would have gone back and re-recorded everything in the entire Who ccatologue if he had the chance. Ah, Live at Leeds.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with internet releases in general.. I just have two more specific problems. First, I have no desire to support iTunes the music store, nor Apple at all for that matter (Jobs just doesn't "do it" for me). Second, CD-quality FLAC or greater, please. MP3s are a waste of customer's money, especially for the audience of someone as dedicated to the actual music as Matt is. I purchased NIN's Ghosts I-IV online, as well as Radiohead's In Rainbows; I was disappointed with the MP3 nature of In Rainbows, however Trent gave me exactly what I wanted: CD-quality FLAC, plus a bunch of pretty pictures and a nice PDF. In summary, my main beefs are with compressed music (which I don't like) and iTunes (whom I won't support). Other than that, internet releases are great!

I will be in line for the limited double CD version for sure. Please Please Please give everyone here the chance to get a copy of the actual CD before they sell out, as they surely will. If the Massey Hall performance was anywhere near as awesome as the Orpheum performance then it will be an exceptional album. Very excited about the new release.

One of the things that bugs is when I hear people talking about a concert, saying "oh my god they were sooooo goood! They sounded exactly like they do on their albums!" Who wants to pay money to go see a band play when they sound like they do on the albums? Why not just stay home and listen to the CDs? My favorite part of live music is the fact that it DOESN'T sound like it does on the records, at least none of the bands I've seen live.
