Vinyl Release Question (Poll)

Since DMB Live 25 being released on vinyl caused a lot of melting, breakdowns, crying and tantrums, I thought I'd do an informal poll to see how this particular section of the DMB fanbase would feel about a full show being released exclusively to vinyl.

Are you in favor of a full live show being released exclusively on vinyl?

    This is trolling.

    How is it trolling? It's a legitimate question. People on this site had a meltdown about DMB Live 25. I think this points to whether it's an exclusivity thing, or tied to that specific release.

    I wouldn't be mad if they did it but it's a silly thing to do just like it was with Live 25. Vinyl is ridiculously expensive compared to all other audio formats. The band also limits it's reach by releasing it in 1 format only.

    What they did with Live 25 was baffling though... with a management team that seems to be notorious for maximizing profit, that was just a missed opportunity (that they've since made up for and further bungled by not allowing those that purchased the vinyl to download a digital version at no cost).

    Yes

    just because I don't use vinyl doesn't mean I don't want others to get hooked up!

    You can hook the vinyl heads up and also allow everyone else to purchase more mainstream options at the same time.

    But you're definitely trolling in the OP.

    I'm big on vinyl, so I'm down. That said, offer up other formats so you can sell more and make everybody happy. But vinyl exclusive is better than nothing at all.

    I agree, it's best to include CDs and digital downloads as well.

    Absolutely. I think it's a great idea.

    And as we saw with DMB25, nothing is ever truly "vinyl only". People who wanted a digital copy of it were able to get one (a vinyl rip) shortly after the vinyl was released.

    I think hilly is asking a genuine question and yeah I think (selfishly) it would be awesome to have a vinyl exclusive show. When DMB Live 25 came around I bought it immediately but was really salty about it being exclusive to vinyl and could not wait to get my hands on a vinyl rip. However, now that I have been listening to vinyl more and appreciating it for what it is, I kinda wish DMB Live. 25 stayed exclusive. I would love a vinyl exclusive live Trax or live show. That being said, I would also love if, maybe for the "holiday" fourth live Trax a year that typically comes with a DVD/blu ray, they also offered it in vinyl (although I don't know if the quality would be there)

    On another note, will the live Trax series on vinyl end because the next one in line is live Trax 6 and that is two or 3 night show if I'm not mistaken. It would be like a 10 LP release lol. Which I would totally grab (would love that break free on vinyl)

    I think it would be awesome if they did vinyl exclusive shows. Maybe two a year. Keep it to a limited number. Maybe an extension of the DMB Live series. I don't see them going back to releasing Live Trax on vinyl. Although I know which ones I would want for sure.

    No I cannot vote in favor of that; I would vote in favor of seeing a Live Trax volume released to vinyl day and date with the full (digital) release.

    Seeing as how there was a plan for a digital release all along with Live 25, I don't see them offering a vinyl exclusive.

    I don't understand this mentality. How would there being a digital version available have any effect on your enjoyment of listening to the vinyl?

    Something, something I paid for the exclusivity and now I'm mad everyone else can get it.

    They can release any post Roi-show exclusively on vinyl because I'm not buying it regardless.

    I think physically exclusive to vinyl is cool, but there should always be a download option. In the case of live 25, it’s still exclusive to me. Digital isn’t a tangible thing.

    If I were making the decisions for a band, I don't think my plan would be to release something exclusively on vinyl. I don't think that is a good marketing strategy as the short term buzz of exclusivity also alienates other consumers who are potentially more lucrative long term.

    That said, I would support it with my money if/when DMB does it again. I'm a vinyl consumer and will be glad to have DMB on vinyl as long as they continue the current streak of excellent pressings.

    Maybe a compilation of sorts for the hardcore fans, released exclusively on vinyl, on a limited run ?

    Exactly what I was thinking. Just release one compilation/5 LP Boxset a year. They could even go as far as making it exclusive to Warehouse Members only.

    I wish they'd give WH members a 7" or 10" every year. Would be nice.

    A "Too Much" 7 inch reissue would be nice. Should have came with the Crash release.

    The Warehouse gives all it's members a 10" every year during ticket request confirmations.

    Don't need them to "give" it for free. Just offer exclusively to WH members; similar to what PJ does.
