An official announcement will be made in the next day or two, but I have the ok to let the cat out of the bag here first:
FOR THE LA & NY SHOWS
THE “ALBUM” PORTION OF EACH NIGHTS SHOW WILL BE RECORDED AND MIXED ON SITE AND MADE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT TO THE ATTENDEES WHO PURCHASE IT PRIOR TO THE SHOW .
IN ADDITION EACH NIGHTS CD WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE AT THE NEXT NIGHT’S SHOW, SO THOSE ATTENDING THE LAST NIGHT IN EACH CITY WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO GET ALL FIVE NIGHTS. THE ARTWORK FOR THE LTD EDITION DIGIPAKS WILL BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT EACH NIGHT, AND THE LA ARTWORK WILL VARY FROM NY.
Inside Job, I’ll be there in LA for all five shows and I’ll be purchasing the live Cd’s from each show. Let Lucinda know that it was a great idea.
This is a great idea…but let me second SM in saying that it would be great if the albums were also for sale on the website or something, so that way those of us who can’t make any of the shows can still buy them. I know I’d buy at least a couple for sure.
There must be hundreds, if not thousands of fans, who would like to get hold of the show discs. We’ve got no chance whatsoever of getting to the gigs if you live here in Europe, Australasia etc. so I go along with the idea of making them available through the website.
that’s super news! my tix are for the oct. 2 town hall show in nyc. town hall is nearly as nice acoustically as radio city, where lu played in spring. the sound should be incredible…a live cd is such a bonus!
thanks IJ – this is great news. I plan to buy the NYC tapings the last night, Oct 4, at Town Hall — and would also buy the LA recordings if available in NY ( Will they be? …or online)
is this “LTD EDITION DIGIPAK” recording going to be a full unedited taping of the entire first set, from start to finish? I ask because I hope they don’t feel a need to edit out any conversation with the audience between songs. As on an “unofficial” (ie: bootleg) recording, I love all that captured sound, including shouted comments from the audience, rough edges and all. It archives and cements the moment in time… it brings an authenticity to the recordings and really personalizes the listening experience.
Others may not agree, and not everyone wants the unfiltered experience…. And I realize the “album set” may not have much commentary from Lu anyway — I suppose that first set could be kind of formal. Whatever the case, I’m excited about the show and happy to hear about the recordings. Thanks! 😀
I’m also interested. I hope the CDs are available at later shows as well as online. I would really like to pick up a few when I see her in Charlottesville.
It’s too bad we can’t get complete recordings of all shows on the tour. It would be nice to have one of a show that I attended. I know that is not realistic, and I would be content with the releases mentioned above.
