Same here. I am very disappointed. What a great Watchtower.

That "Cry Freedom." Love Boyd on this. Roi, as always.

Then it starts cutting in and out at 6:35, speeding up then back to normal. There are other skips and errors throughout the rest of the song, but I'm too lazy to post each skip spot. They're everywhere on my physical CD during Watchtower, though.

I'll be calling The Warehouse Tuesday to see about getting a replacement disc or finding some resolution.

Side question: Does anyone listen to the master copy of the finished product before copying to other discs and posting as a download online? Anyone have a clue with that? It's super frustrating, and I remember when the Wrigley set came out a number of years back where there was a similar issue.

I just listened to mine and it's fine. So either I got lucky, or you got unlucky. Not to say this order didn't have it's problems. My Crash vinyl came with a destroyed cover. So I'm glad I don't have to call them back and complain about this LT as well.

That being said... to those wondering about this release... Yes... It's awesome. The mix is great, and the bands performance is blistering. Well deserving of a release. Yes, it's a "typical 1996 show", which might make it underwhelming for some. But if you're a fan of the bands sound in 1996, then you will enjoy this release immensely.

I've been dialing 1-800-CALL-HILLY

No wonder I've had no luck.

[cpxc.]

just listened to Watchtower and have no issue with my copy

[Gears0413]

Wow, I just tried calling into The Warehouse, and apparently they are no longer taking inbound calls. You can only communicate with them through email. Why do I have the feeling I'll never get a replacement disc #2 for LT38?!

WH is usually pretty good, regardless even if through email. Call the music today number instead. honestly, they've always taken care of my orders for CDs and shirts when there were issues.

This isn't a Warehouse issue.

Call Musictoday - 877-687-4277. Have your order number on hand to expedite service.

What was the problem with your disc?

Yeah, I have a physical CD copy of LT 38. I emailed the WH about it, and when I have more time, I'll give Music Today a ring.

Should be a 5-10 minute call, but you'll need to contact music today. The warehouse won't be able to do anything for you, aside from direct you to Music Today.

MT usually doesn't have long wait times, but you'll need your order number. Let them know what's wrong, and a replacement should be sent out quickly. It usually takes about 2 days for processing, then shipping.

Talked with Patrick at Music Today. Very helpful guy. My hold time was 0 minutes. They are mailing me another full copy of LT 38 for no charge.

That's what I call amazing customer service!

Hilly knows Patrick!

Finally listening to this for the first time. Good so far. I'm only on the first track but I will say I'm really digging the mix.

[snow1868]

This #36 is so good. Wow.

[RainDog1980]

Interesting that the downloads are having audio issues. LT36 has similar issues.

[Cryfreedom09]

My disc was fine on Watchtower. And a hell of a Watchtower it was.

[JAMILL112]

Outstanding release. Another +1 in the Live Trax series IMO. Very clean, great sounding mix with some killer performances. Worth picking up for any fan but especially if you're a "SPAC person", you NEED to own this one.

[Ld41]

Im new to music today download s, could someone direct me to where i go? I got an email confirmation but no link to download this show? Thank you!

[Ld41]

Figured out!

the lady who took the calls at her house must have either gotten sick of warehousers or gotten fired.

i'd give even odds on either.

[justink]

anyone else disappointed in how loud the crowd is in the mix? super annoying. if i want to hear bro's yell at dave and whistlers, i'll fly to spac myself.

makes listening at all almost unbearable.

[Chalmers4three]

Dammit mine has the bad quality version of watchtower.......anybody with a clean version willing to PM me?

Nope....I got it last night and still not fixed. I figured that it had been fixed too. I emailed them so we will see what they say.

Yep, far too prominent. The claps in the Seek Up intro, ugh! Fuck off claps!! Song is terrific once it gets going and people realize they have no timing, but it does ruin what's usually a great moment on most live releases.

This is multitrack too, so should have been easy to drop down the crowd noise throughout several dBs.

Otherwise, very solid release.
