I'm so jealous, I wish I could see the show this year! I hope they're adding some of those songs to the first half of the show. Last year it felt like the first half was over before it started, it went by like a rocket! I think maybe because the narration wasn't as long or as meaty as in the albums. Incorporating more into the actual story would make it much more memorable.

Personally, I would like more vocal numbers.  I know not all agree, but I felt that the other shows were more "filled out" with vocals and instrumental numbers.  Last year the show seemed disjointed and did not flow as other shows have done.

I would love to hear Old City Bar, done the way it was recorded not with the whole hobo bit. Of course some savatage could be worked in now that Zak is on board (that was my hope last year). Open with something other than Time and Distance and transition into Welcome. There has to be some new stuff to throw in also. Stuff from the Gutter Ballet project that seemingly will never come to life. Personally, I could care less if I ever see The Mountain again. Revisit some other Night Castle songs (Sparks, Tracers, Nutrocker). Maybe Heal My Soul since they didn't put it on the download like they originally discussed.

I agree.

Not really relevant to the current tour in particular... but do all members agree to "miss" Christmas every year?

Like, has Chris Caffery had a Thanksgiving/Christmas at home at any point from 1999 to now?

Better to distance themselves as much as possible - it was a smart decision to remove him. Not to mention that 98.6% of the audience has no idea that there was a replacement done in the video for the seven seconds of time.

It's about doing the right thing - and it wasn't done here - in more ways than just that instance.  But I am intimately aware of both sides here which is why I put it in the "It will never happen" category.

Dan....When you have mush for brains like Brad does.......U can forget about doing the right thing....he would not know the right thing if it hit him between the eyes.....

Gee why don't you say how you really feel? All former comments aside, what kind of bootlegs do you have?

All of me TSO stuff...

This is the first time these songs have been released in an audio package, and the album features a bonus track titled "Music Box Blues (Daryl Pediford Tribute New York 2004)."

whats the point of that? the songs are the same except for crawford and jewel, and i skip those anyways Wink

Nice idea but it just doesn't do it for me.   Not interested in the Crawford or Jewel songs and I already have the other songs.  As for the DP tribute I already have that full show on DVD.  Might save my data usage on this one!
The DP MBB tribute made no sense when the original is already on-could have put on The Lost Christmas Eve and really been the complete soundtrack from the 2015/2016 tour. This is why I am not buying this yet but will wait for a good used cheap copy on Amazon or ebay. Did this with the 2014 Lowes First Snow and got it this year for $5 total used good on Amazon.
