THIS ALBUM IS THE SEX!!!



Okay, now that's that out of my system...

I absolutely love this Deluxe Edition, 5-disc version of "Gdańsk", the DVDs are awesome, Dave playing (most of) his set with an orchestra is awesome and the bonus CD with extra tracks from the tour is awesome!#

One thing though: Wot's... Uh The Deal? isn't on it, which isn't a suprise as the FEd made it clear that it's only available on the vinyl, iTunes or via a weblink on Disc 3 (DVD), but Disc 5 (the bonus tracks) also has tracks from the main "Gdańsk" album. Why repeat them? Surely he could have substituted The Blue or Where We Start from that CD with Wot's... Uh The Deal?... SURELY! Oh well.... I downloaded it from iTunes anyway and slipped it between SOYCD and AD on my iPod.

I'm still waiting for my 5-Disc set from Amazon. Can't wait for it.

6 week wait at least for hmv :( useless gits

Order it from Amazon, mine was dispatched today and they are quoting October 4th-12th for delivery generally (I'm getting mine tomorrow though) so better than HMV's 6 weeks.

Cool! Amazon it is then.

Btw, dig the username...

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon UK and it arrived on release day.

Another thing that disappoints me slightly is that the orchestra don't play on all the songs, I was quite looking forward to hearing Echoes with an orchestra, that would sound sweeeet, so would Astronomy Domine and Fat Old Sun.

Another thing that puzzles me is why leave SOYCD off the DVD when it was one of only 2 shows when they used a Glass Harmonica and Rick played his keyboard intro? Madness!

It's a completely bad-ass live album--I love it. And, yes it's sad to hear because of Rick's passing, but I'm so glad it came out when it did: it really provides a good way to remember him. So, yeah, I find myself choking up a lot when listening to it, but it really is a proper way to mourn a great musician: hearing his last full live show, which just so happened to find him at the peak of his powers.

All that needs to be said:

This album has BEST EVER rendition of Comfortably Numb solo

(the Gdansk set version)
