Big Whiskey iTunes Pass Questions

Heeeyyyyy y'alllll!!!

Yes, yes, the new album is really, really solid, musically and lyrically. Is there a better band in America?

Anyway, I' disappointed right now that I paid for the iTunes pass. I feel like I haven't gotten anything extraordinary. When I purchased it from iTunes, I just saw that I would receive bonus tracks, videos, etc. I don't really care about the videos, but I'm disappointed that all I got was another live version of Cornbread.

I don't spend a whole lot of time in these forums and don't have the time to search for my answers, but can someone please tell me what I should have received to this point having the iTunes pass? I have the Part I and II of the videos, the Cover Art, the preview, and Cornbread. I want more songs!!! And at least the liner notes/lyrics.

Thanks! Go Phils, beat the Mets!

    The pass goes through September. It's June right now. There's a lot of time between now and September to release more songs and videos.

    if they don't it will be serious false advertising

    we're still supposed to get (off the top of my head):

    funny the way it is music video
    exclusive b-sides
    exclusive tracks from the 2009 spring and summer tours

    I think it will end with the FTWII video.

    I mean, we were getting at least one thing a day pre-album and the week AFTER, nothing?

    Its sad but management has def. been prepared to screw the fans for $. I bought the deluxe pass b/c it was the only way to get the bonus songs when first announced. Bought the iTunes pass for LITHOG and Monkey early. Was either worth the money? Not really. Could have just bought the cd and bonus for a LOT less $.
    But I think we all got screwed here.

    I just received 2 emails from DMB saying how "eco-friendly" and "green" the tour is gonna be. Thats awesome and all, but isn't it greener to buy stuff on iTunes, legally and without packaging?? Gimmie all of it now! I waited 4 years for new stuff, I don't want some dumb video every week or so. I'd pay $40 for all the b-sides they left off...can you imagine that?? The 4 or 5 from these sessions, Build You A House, Sugar Will, Good Good Time, Idea Of You, Granny, Help Myself, Crazy Easy, Shotgun, Sister, etc etc. Give it now, not Sept!!

    Re: Big Whiskey iTunes Pass Questions

    Here is the text from the iTunes email (not the Warehouse email) when the Pass was announced:

    With the Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King: iTunes Pass, you'll get the forthcoming release from the Dave Matthews Band as soon as it's released on June 2, plus live tracks, bonus tracks, documentary videos, and more each week from now through September. When you purchase the iTunes Pass, you'll immediately receive all available items in the Pass, and we'll automatically deliver new items to you the moment they're added to iTunes.

    So far, this is the only week we have yet to receive anything since the pass came out.

    Here is the text from the Warehouse email:

    Individuals who purchase the Dave Matthews Band iTunes Pass ($19.99) beginning today will receive an instant download of the band's latest single, "Funny the Way It Is," and the new album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, as soon as it's released on June 2nd. They'll receive additional content from now through September, including Scenes from Big Whiskey, a documentary on the making of the record, exclusive bonus music (including b-sides and live music from the band's Spring and Summer 2009 tours), two tracks in advance of the album's release ("Shake Me Like A Monkey" and "Lying In the Hands of God"), a download of the "Funny the Way It Is" music video, a deluxe digital booklet of the album artwork, which was drawn by Matthews, and additional exclusive video clips.

    I'm surprised that the music video wasn't this week's download.

    Re: Big Whiskey iTunes Pass Questions

    The music video wasn't out in time. I'm sure we will get it next week and maybe something else. Some weeks we are probably getting more than one thing.

    So far, the only exclusive was the Cornbread (Live) (which I am actually happy about lol) but I'm hoping we get at least one more exclusive song and at least 10 live songs.

    We should be getting

    stuff from the spring tour
    the rest of the documentary (we are not getting the Fuse one...i highly doubt it)
    funny video
    lyrics sheets? (but we should have got those WITH the album)
    the EP???? (already got the EP with the deluxe box so doesnt matter for me)
    stuff from the summer tour
    the second single video
    exclusive studio song??

    I want more stuff. I've been kinda disappointed so far. Hopefully we'll get SPAC N2 that would be pretty sweet.

    Not gonna happen though.

    The only one I can think of is The Fray, and they got a live concert, 2 various live songs, and 4 videos. with another video grayed out at the moment, and from what I hear, The Fray fans are pretty pissed with what they got as well.

    But they only had to pay 16.99, we had to pay 19.99.

    Re: Big Whiskey iTunes Pass Questions

    Just checked again, and the passes I found were DMB, The Fray, Depeche Mode, & Kris Allen.

    Lets see, Depeche Mode paid 18.99 and got Sounds Of The Universe, 2 videos, a bunch of remixes, a second album with 2 remixes of the same song, a remix EP, and 2 live songs to come out probably tomorrow since the pass ends tomorrow for them.

    Kris Allen is 16.99, ends Dec 31, 2009, and so far they've gotten his single, and an autographed photo. They will be getting American Idol bonus videos, and his album.

    The Fray as I said before gets a live concert, 2 live songs, and 4 videos. with another video grayed out at the moment. Their pass ends on Aug. 26 2009.

    So all in all, I would say the pass doesn't really give you too many special things

    At $20, there is no room to continue complaining. You got Shake Me and LITHOG early, the whole album, and DVD (almost complete now). Thats $20 worth.

    Everything else is icing. Also, its something else to check once a week and keep SOME anticipation going. Not too shabby.

    Lot of twats here think the band owes them something. LMAO

    The band owes me what I paid for the product... $20 for album + exclusive content. I haven't seem any exclusive content yet (except for live Cornbread), have you?

    The Fray's pass was much more complete...

    I'm a bit dissapointed in terms of them not providing the full big video prior to the launch and it being available elsewhere...but I wasn't expecting exclusive content until after the album release. We still have 3 months left, so hopefully we'll get something unique out of the deal.
