Progress updates - Stay on topic!

Can anyone dig up the timeline from the release of Big Whiskey? If my memory serves me correctly, they're on similar studio schedules. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that they're on the same release schedule but it would be interesting to compare.

    Re: Progress updates

    this is all very speculative. I think the big whiskey sessions were spearheaded by management and the record company. The hype surrounding the album (site, videos, etc) were a creation of non-dmb people. thus, the timeline was extended because the record company hyped before much was done.

    In these sessions, it seems as though they went to the studio on their own without record company influence. I say this because lillywhite was kept secret. If the sessions went well, they go to the company.. they go bad, nothing happens.. no pressure to make the album.. I think steve's latin tweet was a sign they had signalled to the record company they had a product.

    because of this, I expect us to get a preorder page and that's it. I think the album will be released in before April, with little or no hype from dmb. I hope it happens even sooner via a download only format. I personally hate the process of leaks and such...

    It will get as much hype as possible, it's what sells records these days.

    I don't think they're on similar studio schedules at all. DMB spent months in studios in New Orleans and Seattle just working out new songs and writing new songs. This album, Dave brought in material he'd been working on during the year, plus maybe a few songs left over from BW or from tours past ('04, '10) and they worked them out and recorded them in a month.

    Your words... they sound... logical, possibly even informed. I hope this is the case.

    looking back at the big whiskey progress, Jan 1, 2009 was the first NOLA session, and if you check out Dave's twitter when his account was active, I believe it was March 22, 2009 that he tweeted the album was done...and I believe BW was released June 2, 2009..........so given that timeline and the progress that we've heard from Rashawn, etc.....it seems like they are on track for a similar release date, May/June.............am I correct with my dates MR. STATS??

    If memory serves me correctly, I feel like the original release date was supposed to be in April but then it got pushed back to June 2?

    Yep. The MSG "Album Release Party" show turned into "hey we just released this song today online."

    Weren't they recording for Big Whiskey prior to the NOLA sessions? I mean, they did fall back on some of Roi's takes..

    Also, I honestly thought they were in NOLA sooner than Jan. 1, 2009, but it was awhile ago, I could be wrong.

    The lack of info is kind of upsetting considering how "far along" they are in the studio process. All we know is Lillywhite is producing. I need more....

    Do they usually send out an additional email once its officially released after the "pre-order" emails go out? I can't seem to remember them doing this...

    I honestly don't remember. I figured they would...who knows. Either way I am sure we will hear some news shortly.

    They have to promote this album in some kind of fashion via the digital world. They won't only just play a few new tunes on tour and settle with a generic "The band is working with Lillywhite" email.

    Maybe they should. They don't want to overhype the album and it's already there because of Lillywhite being in the studio with them. All they need to do is finish the album and give us a single and pre-order info. I think it makes sense for them to proceed quietly.

    For us this makes sense. For the regular world no way. They'll be something.

    Pretty sure they will not be returning to the studio (at least in Seattle) since Pearl Jam is going in next week or the week after to start recording a new album.

    Well, we most likely have lack of updates right now because Steve was in England receiving his C.B.E. from the Queen. Now Steve tweeted that he is heading back west (I assume to Seattle).

    This doesn't make much sense to me. Why wouldn't they try to promote the album and increase sales?

    I wonder how many people realize just how *ancient* that firedancer design is? That putting it on the cover of "Stand Up" was just laziness in the design department, the DMB equivalent of using clipart?


    Edit: Big Whiskey, of course, TOTALLY REDEEMED them. That shit is fantastic.
