This is what we pay for.

Haha I mean they do a great job on some stuff and nail it with some choices, but entrusting them with more responsibilities as far as that goes? No thanks.

Who said they would be selected and every three months? They use a similar decision process as they do now and just release them in waves every couple of months. It requires no more work on their part than they currently do. Plus, if there is a standout performance on tour that they feel would be good for it they could add it to a quarterly release.

/sarcasm

Also this. I think they can handle a few tracks every three months or so and throw them on their server for download.

Just renewed again for some reason. Not sure why seeing as I don't even remember the last time they came to Colorado. I've been a member since 1/13/99 I guess, yay?

I keep renewing as well, I won't let my membership pass.If there is even a 1% chance they unlock the vaults for warehouse members I want in. It's only 35 dollars a year and at this point I'm not gonna let it lapse.

seeing as we voted on the tracks for the 2017 disc, hopefully they announce the 2018 tracklist soon.

I mean, in theory, packages will go out next month so any day>?

I have no doubt the email is already written:

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Summer Tour Announcements, general malaise from holiday hangovers and such... the 2018 package for members who renewed in January has been delayed. We will update you as soon as we are closer to having any goddamn clue what we're doing. Happy New Year!!"

This will be slightly altered for Feb, March and possibly April members. Then May members will start to get their packages before the rest.

which will be a clusterfuck in itself because the 2017 packages are shipping in bulk in spring...

My renewals are always in January and I just renewed for 2018 today. I feel like I must be misreading the message that displayed after I renewed.

So, because I renewed today I will get my 2018 package next month, but someone who renewed in November, for example, won't get their package until later in the Spring?

"The spring" is for 2017 packages. We'll all (allegedly) get ours then.


The person that renews in November of 2018, will (allegedly) get their 2018 package in December of 2018.

Haha, wow, that's fucked up. So, just to confirm, I'll get my "2018" package (which no one knows the contents of) next month before the "2017" packages are sent out this spring? Or, I'll get my 2018 package February of 2019?

It's this.


Allegedly.

People are REALLY struggling with this. It's not complex.

[DeuceStep]

I renew in October, so going by the past WH package shipping cycle metric it will still be about 5 months before I usually get the WH package in the April time frame. Even if it isn't shipped the next month after my renewal, I will still consider it being received early from when I typically get it.

We all get two this year. And this past year with Live 25, awesome vinyl releases, great Live Trax choices. What album? Good times.

holy fuck I don't understand how people don't get it.

No one is struggling.

Everyone doubts the Warehouse's capacity to not make this a clusterfuck of a situation.

[BIKANDU]

Where does it say there is a CD in the 2018 package? With the logistics of producing & printing CDs for delivery in February it makes me wonder if a disc is in the works for 2018.

[rick8285]

I love how often these posts start with, "in theory..."

My mistake. Thought there were questions/confusion in this thread.

[Route_2]

It did initially strike me as odd that I would receive an unspecified 2018 package prior to a 2017 one.

No one is struggling.

Both of these things are true.

[eggsrsweet]

So, will this 2018 package be announced soon or will they just start arriving next month?

Just thought, will the '98 members get something special this year? Like a 7" of the original WH 5.

You’re funny

[Cptn. Monkeyman]

Any idea when the track listing for these will be announced? (2017/2018 discs)

01.23.18
The 2017 and 2018 Warehouse CD Track Listings

We are excited to announce the track listings for both the 2017 and 2018 Annual Warehouse CDs. Thanks to Warehouse member participation, the track listings for both CDs reflect the top 20 songs chosen by Warehouse members during our song selection survey conducted in August. The Warehouse Members-Only CD contains 7 tracks (10 tracks for members who have been with us for four or more years).

Please note that beginning in 2018, the Warehouse member packages will ship monthly, as opposed to previous years method of a bulk shipment early in the following year.

The 2017 Warehouse member package will ship in bulk in the spring of 2018 to all members who joined/renewed in 2017. Stay tuned for more information! Please contact whcs@davematthewsband.com with any questions.
