He's dead and yet he's still doing new albums.

I'm pretty sure he isn't paying them. I actually don't have anything against posthumous albums as long as the material is good. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

So they expect me to pay $48 without even seeing the setlist? Outrageous! -------------

A big boo for the cover, hope it's just a teaser. I'll wait for the reviews to see if it's worth the money

Holy expensive...I'll pass, thanks. Even Magma triples aren't that expensive (well, except for La Trilogie au Trianon).

| Same year as Live In New York so I'm sure It'll be a good concert but $48 is a bit steep for me. |

That is not expensive at all. This is actually a normal simple CD price down here. -------------

^ That's the reason why I only buy albums when I'm in the US or through Bandcamp. -------------

Same as in chile. Awful. It might just be easier to import your CDs from Argentina. |

hmmm.... it's cool that its the whole show, but if anyone here has the album "Halloween", there's going to be repeats, since it has songs recorded between October 27-31, 1978. And apparently some of the YCDTOSA series has these songs in their volumes. Besides, there's enough live albums documenting this era of FZ's bands. anyway.......... from setlist.com
also, and i always say it, why not spend the effort in releasing the roxy dvds? at least release a 3-CD set of THAT! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

The price I don't mind, if it's quality. I paid a veritable sh*tload for Greasy Love Songs (aka Ruben & The Jets). However, for a live session it had best be very good, which if it was why has it not been released previously? We apparently have samplers from YCDTOSA, so I will be listening to those before sending any $ Dweezil's way.
Nonetheless, alway glad to see a new Zappa album. Or a new Hendrix album. We are consumers; we get to choose. I do not buy these sight unheard. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

But that's NYC; the new set is from Hammersmith Odeon in London. ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

Compared to some of the prices for single cds on the sight, it could have been $70.
Anyway. I have a few concert cds released in Zappa's lifetime that aren't worth much as it is basically the band chatting to the audience and among themselves with very little music being played.

Maybe so for down there, CCVP, but the price of CD's has been dropping for awhile -- at least up here, anyway. Definitely over-priced, especially considering how much of that material is already available on other releases.
I'm with Zomby -- where IS that Roxy DVD stuff?? I mean, I'm gonna be dead before they ever get to releasing that stuff - what's the holdup??  ------------- Gary "... people will always be tempted to wipe their feet on anything with WELCOME written on it" Andy Partridge |
