Haha what are the odds. Cancelled Apple Music last night and subscribed to Spotify because I found out that I could get Hulu included with my spotify subscription.

Also, this is a telling sign that a new album or release is coming. Typically, artist pages get refreshed/updated when something is coming down the pipe.

Wonder why they stopped at Volume 20.

This pleases me.

[morecornbread!!]

I love this. Downloading LT 8 now (which has the best #41)

[RSSR]

Is there a reason why they stopped at LT20 with streaming companies and stores like iTunes?

[TimHonks]

What are your song highlights from live trax 1-20? Hoping to check out some highlights from the ones I haven't listened to.

[Thesongilike]

This is perfect for me at work!

Sugar Will with Santana from LT2 is one of my favorite moments in the history of the band.

Especially since Santana said he'd never heard the song before he played on it.

Lots of Favorites on my end. A few:

Live in Rio - Say goodbye - my favorite version

Live Trax 2 - One Sweet World, others may hate the mix, but I love the the loud guitar on Dave's end. OSW with extended intros have always been my fav.

Live Trax 3: Seek Up and PNP/Rapunzel

Live Trax 5: Dancing Nancies, great acoustic Typical as well

Live Trax 8: Granny and Typical Situation (the pinnacle IMO)

Live Trax 10: Not my favorite, but an interesting/different #41

Live Trax 11: AATW - great mid-set version

Live Trax 16: Sweet up and Down

Live Tax 13 Two Step opener is amazing. This was back when they had a screen blocking the crowds view of the stage (band could see through it from the back though) and they would pick it up after the song built up and the crowd would go nuts.

What made this particular performance special, besides it being the opening song and besides it taking place at Busch Stadium, was that the intro music was very long (while the crowd was unable to see the band), and Dave's improv intro is great, and he sings it to the crowd while still being blocked by the screen. Its just easier to watch it...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Sugar Will (2) and Sweet up and Down (16) are two of my favorites. I'll be checking the rest out and hope to get some more recommendations.

That did not translate well to the audio-only release. Thanks for sharing!

While I think Grey Street has become an absolute train wreck of a song, the version on Live Trax 19 is fire. One of the best versions of the song, in my opinion. It still has a harder edge given the current lineup, but it was pre-Rashawn/Jeff dueling, which has completely ruined the entire song, and before the pace became unbearably fast.

How did you leave off the Seek Up from LT3!!!! Boyd's solo into Dave's wail is fucking epic.

[coldengrey12]

JTR from LT3 is another favorite of mine.

LT7 from Billies to the end. All the stuff with Bela and the 'Tones.

[luckyfingers]

I love that they added this, but has anyone thought that you can kiss your streaming services(Netflix, Hulu, Apple Music/TV, Amazon music/tv, Spotify, etc...) goodbye once net neutrality is gone!

[Rnk13]

LT6 is missing, right?

[dpduke5173]

Proudest Monkey-LT15

[Cobo]

Haven't listened to DMB in a long time. Been listening to bits of LT 3 & 4 driving around the last few days. Forgot how good this band used to be.

I said it was my all time favorite Live Trax and I said "etc"

I know, I know, just felt the need to mention it for those who haven't given it a listen. LT3 is probably top-3 for me, hard to pick what the other two are though.

I don't like the sound of that. I am also uneducated on the topic. Is there a discussion of this in another thread? Haven't found much. EDIT: found the thread, disregard.

It is REALLY good! Probably second only to the Seek Up on WH disc.
