Live Trax 07 - December 31, 1996 | Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA

[OceanSoGood]

i figure there are at least 10 shows out there still that this board would really appreciate, 12.31.96 being one of them

to buying it

[DMB1541]

Just pre-ordered mine. I really like the shirt design.

The best part is we only have to wait like 3 weeks and then it ships.

Just pre-ordered as well. I can't wait until it gets here...

As an extremely hardcore fan of the Dave Matthews Band, I can't even
begin to express how thrilled I am with the choice of the latest Live
Trax installment. The 12/31/96 show is certainly one of the band's
finest moments, and it's wonderful that fans will now be able to get
their hands on this stand out performance. However, there's one thing that I don't get...

Here's how the setlist of the concert played out that evening:

Seek Up
Dancing Nancies >>
Warehouse
Say Goodbye
Satellite
Rhyme and Reason
Two Step
Crash Into Me
So Much to Say >>
Anyone Seen the Bridge? >>
Too Much

---------SET BREAK-----------

Tripping Billies
Lie In Our Graves
#41 >>
Minarets
Typical Situation
Improv Jam >>
Carter & Future Man Drum Duet
Ants Marching

--------ENCORE---------

All Along the Watchtower


I'm wondering why this release is going to be a 3-Disc
set, rather than a 2-Disc set. According to the official DMBand.com
announcement, the tracklisting is split up among 3 discs. Based on
the tracklisting in the announcement, each disc will clock in at the
following time lengths:

DISC 1 - 51:59
DISC 2 - 1:04:29
DISC 3 - 36:25
Total concert length - 2:32:53

I used the dmbalmanac.com website to do the math and they should have
no problems making this release a 2-Disc set, and this way each set of
the show fits perfectly on its own disc. CDs can hold 80 minutes of
music...therefore, why not simply release the show in the same way
that it was played:

DISC 1 (first full set) - 77:54

Seek Up
Dancing Nancies >>
Warehouse
Say Goodbye
Satellite
Rhyme and Reason
Two Step
Crash Into Me
So Much to Say >>
Anyone Seen the Bridge? >>
Too Much

DISC 2 (second full set) - 74:59

Tripping Billies
Lie In Our Graves
#41 >>
Minarets
Typical Situation
Improv Jam >>
Carter & Future Man Drum Duet
Ants Marching
All Along the Watchtower

Total disc length - 2:32:53


Now, my times don't account for the length of time between each
song...but even still, the "in between song pauses" are always
shortened for live releases, and there's still more than enough wiggle
room to get around that issue. Therefore, why are fans being asked to
pay for a 3-Disc live release when the concert can easily (and more
logically) fit on 2 Discs?

Honesly my first choice for a LT.
Below is a list of the songs I'll skip on the CD:

[Crush87]

11/9/93 would be the most perfect '93 release

Terrible aud that doesnt circulate well. Historic day for the band, early performances of songs, distinct set, one of the more energetic shows i've ever heard

I'm still waiting for BOWA

[italy8384]

I doubt we will ever get a dave and friends livetrax, and now I'm slowly thinking the same about dave and tim. I mean if they could do a dave and tim set, why wouldn't they have released one by now?

[jsandr]

wow, this should be outstanding. we'll have to see how the sound quality stacks up to LT3, but this most likely will be the best to date.

interesting. if this is the case then i may just download it and burn it on 2 discs. id rather hear it as 2 complete sets than broken up. unless they are doing filler tracks.

[borat]

another thing i don't understand with their tracklisting is why they seperated the discs the way they did. i'm not a fan of 3-disc releases, mainly because one disc always gets cheated. in this case, Disc 3 is hardly over 30 minutes. why not take #41 and Minarets from Disc 2 and put them on Disc 3? at least that would make the discs more even in length

i do remeber the show...it was my first concert, period. i was 14. it was pretty amazing. Get in line was good couldnt understand a thing he said. then when i got the cassette i still couldnt. i still have it on cassette, but not cd. i am actually looking for this show on cd. i remember Dave throwing out cigars at midnight. #36 was my favorite song of the night.

I can jump on and help seed when I get home. If you can't do torrents let me know and I'll either upload the show for you or send it to you on disc.

18.99 is the price of 2 disc concerts usually
the reason they do 3-Disc's is because some morons will think "3 discs!11! it must be like central pakr!"
