[danb5520]

This band is pretty much boring in everything it does at this point.

Gotta disagree. There have been clunkers in the series since day 1. Everyone will have their preferences, but LT 6, 9, 10, and 15 are pretty universally disliked. Since 20, there been many great releases: LT 21, 23/24, 26, 28, 30, 31... Even LT 22 and 29 are pretty solid, though they have their detractors.

As a whole, the LT series has far more wins than losses, but LT 32 is an absolute let down for sure.

[Dannyyankou]

There are better shows from 2014, but there are really only 3 bad songs. It could be a lot worse.

But yeah, N1 would've been better.

[dmb417]

Does this mean we don't get a "Live in..." release this year (like Atlantic City)?

[Jdonho11]

Is the DVD the entire show from 8/23?

In 1994 everyone could use cassette tapes, but they still put out CDs didn't they?

Also, you mean to tell me more people would be interested in a DVD than a digital download? Doubtful.

[FeelingGood]

Figures they would LT the very first show I had to skip.

Have to remove Berkeley from my Shows Seen list - anyone know how to delete from that list?

[m_estock]

My god, that set is horrid.

I think a better argument is - that's a stupid reason not to do blu-ray.

[bowa36]

At least this release has Satellite, One Sweet World, Crash into Me, Rhyme & Reason, Recently, Ants Marching, Warehouse, Lover Lay Down, and a great encore.

[SCarolinadmbfan]

Wow, was excited initially about a 2014 release.. But they couldn't have picked a more
subpar set.

[UrsadonDMB]

Probably the weakest from the weekend. This was also the only show my group decided to hang in the back instead of the front so I likely won't be in the DVD.

Glad I was at this show though, always fun getting a release.

[crashintonickdm]

I've never seen a release where it's 90/10 in the negative for reaction.

Yeah... this is pretty bad. Maybe it'll be a wake up call if no one buys it? Doubt it... but maybe

[snow1868]

People will still buy this shit because there are people that buy up everything DMB.

They'd just assume we hate the idea of the live trax series and probably end it.

Kidding aside, this show is just so bad. How do you pick this from this past summer? The tour stunk overall but there were a few stand out shows. And the ladies too. Inexplicable

My first reaction, too. So lame. Minarets was a staple of the tour; can't see how they could neglect to include it, at least on a bonus disc.

Overall, this seems like a pretty crappy representation of what was a pretty good tour.

[41Wooten]

For the bonus disc, the Musictoday site incorrectly says "Bartender 8.23.14"

It should be 8.22.14, obviously.

[TwoStep2888]

lmao not buying this horseshit

[41Wooten]

I really hope the band doesn't read and is never shown what people say in these threads.

This is like reading YouTube comments.

[Useliteski]

meh, i have no interest at all. gimmi something from 98-04 when this band threw it the fuck down consistently.

Even if they drop the 5.1 mix and just do PCM stereo I don't think they'd fit it on a single DVD9 without ridiculous amounts of compression resulting in a barely watchable picture.

Is there a Rosetta Stone for this language?

[jimmything014]

The good I see in this is that all the songs the ladies are on are songs that I probably wont ever listen to after the first listen anyways haha. They would have been better off doing full acoustic best of dvd of the tour with a full show live trax cd

[crashintonickdm]

No minarets, PFWYG, or two step

Simply absurd
