Your job can't be that bad, Kashmir! 

I also need to find a "working" record player... I recently hit a gold mine a few days ago at a local yard sale: Original vinyls (and in good condition) of nearly all early Rush, Nursery Cryme, some Uriah Heep, latter day Zep, Kraftwerk, Jethro Tull, and loads more.

Can't wait for the Insurgentes movie!

Original pressings of Led Zeppelin IV, Black Sabbath's debut, Dark Side of the Moon, The Yes Album, Focus, etc. I was stoked! I need this stuff for my collection! My mum has a load of probably ultra rare Beatles vinyls, too.  I'd get a few PT vinyls too, if I had the means to listen to them.

Muhahaha!!!!

I knew there was a reason I kept my old turntable! 

(Now if they only sold half-assed cartridges.....)

As long as this doesn't end up like the Anesthetize Sp. Ed. did, it'll be alright.

I seem to be the bearer of bad PT-related news lately.

Awww, they're the biggest two gigs of their career though

^I know! I don't get why they wouldn't film the biggest concerts of their whole career. It seems like a no brainer. Film it, release the DVD. We want to give you our money, PT! 

I think it is likely, since we've already heard that several earlier concerts on "The Incident" tour were filmed, that they will be releasing a concert DVD; it just won't be taken from the Radio City Music Hall or Royal Albert Hall concerts.

The whole album has a cinematic feel to it, and with SW's admitted love for film, combined with his interest in providing soundtracks for film, I think it highly unlikely that an Incident concert DVD is not ultimately forthcoming.

Than again, it could be simple wishful thinking on my part.  ;-)

^ That's great.

I'm just as insane - in addition to all the other SW and PT items I've bought over the past year, I just bought two copies of the Insurgentes DVD plus two tickets to the US premiere in NYC, which happens to be three days before we see PT live at Radio City Music Hall.

And you are definitely NOT insane for buying vinyls, even without a proper turntable - my greatest foolery was in allowing my former spouse to force me into giving away most of my father's collection, which consisted among other things of over 4,000 first press jazz 78s.

At this point, my vinyl collection is much more modest, but I still have many (though not all) of my own early prog/British rock collection, as well as a couple of hundred quite diverse albums from jazz to classical, show tunes, folk, rock and comedy, inherited from both of my parents and given to me by friends.
