Warehouse 10 Vol. 1 (2012 Warehouse package)

[ThememanXX]

I remember #27 from Randall's being pretty good, but I don't think any version truly stands out. I'm psyched about Kill the King and Sugar Will though. And that '07 Typical when they were messing around and playing the jam. That's pretty cool. The rest is just money.

Does this Sugar Will have a sax solo?

I think 8.2.07 is a clear stand out, though the first week of the tour it was all kinds of awesome. But that's it for me, it's pretty consistently solid across the board. Little things like mixing up the "feels like dying" & "has me dying" makes a difference to me. This particular version has a consistent change up of those lyrics, and a swagger that matches the '70s nightclub feel of the song. His delivery matches the lyrics as well. When he should sound sad, he does, when he's sick of everything, he sounds sick of it. Really good stuff. But it's not like it's anything that absurdly stands out that they *should* have picked.

#27 - August 2, 2007

God why does Jeff not solo on like half of the things he should solo on? He's my favorite soloist in the band right now by a pretty large margin (as kickass as Tim definitely is, I just prefer Jeff and sax in general) and he keeps giving away all his showstoppers. 41, Warehouse, Sugar Will, Crush... come on dude.

Yeah, I just wish that whoever was in charge of releases had a well thought out, cohesive "big picture" view of things. Don't release songs that have already been released (seems so simple, yet...), don't release a track that's going to be released almost simultaneously on the next LT (again, duh, but last year's SDL). And these WH discs should be for unique and/or fantastic performances that would not otherwise see a release in the foreseeable future. I think the Typical, Recently, KTK, and Sugar Will more or less meet those criteria (unless of course any of those full shows get released soon), so I guess it's a decent release, but of course could be so much better with some thought put in to it.

It seems so simple, yet they have released a shit ton of tracks everywhere in every form over the years and like 2 have found their way on to multiple discs. There's no reason for it, but it's hardly criminal. Plus Scranton was a band pick. That wasn't picked the same way as most live shows. Figure Warehouse disc gets announced two months in advance. It comes out right around show announcement time. Show announcement time doesn't come too long after show selection time. If they ask the band what show from the last tour really stood out to them while the Warehouse disc is already in production, they aren't going to not pick the show, and it's too late to change songs on the disc. With as much as they release, the fact it was a Live Trax and a Warehouse disc, both which require a lot of prep time, they just synced in an unfortunate way. The fact that the So Damn Lucky was picked on a disc where they did go out of their way to get some unique stuff (I get not unique enough to some), and then a separate group that actually played the show picked the finale of the same show actually means everyone was on the same page.

I'm not saying there's nothing to gripe about, and the Billies is a bit more egregious because there are websites that track live releases. But it's understandable on rare occasion. I just hope it doesn't become a habit.

Agreed, those earliest versions were some of the best (if not the best, period). 8/2/07 was a great one.

Agreed. If we can bang out some ideas off the top of our head easily they shouldn't have such a hard time either.

This makes sense. Poor timing rather than poor planning, not a big deal. And the other repeats i.e. 12/8/98 #41 are forgivable because you got a full show release years after the track release. This Billies thing is just kinda dumb though.

I remember during the Gorge webcast a couple years back, on #41, the band was in a groove and seemed to be waiting on Jeff to come in for his solo. He never did, and Tim picked it up.

Disregard. Wrong performance. Maybe i'm thinking of Crush? Either way, Jeff needs to solo more.

The thing is, thought gets put into them. I think like around the first couple Warehouse 8s, those were just random grabs of songs that hadn't been on those releases. But there's definitely thought in this. Recently and Typical are the only repeats, both are very different versions from the previous release. The Sugar Will is different from any release, The Riff and Snow Outside are two of the more popular tracks from the album, both released for the first time. You & Me is not on a Warehouse disc and is a direct segue of their Riff pick, Dreaming Tree was tits in 2007 and the other version from the tour is nice, but has a few issues. Then by far the best version of Kill the King and the first from the original tour.

It's not the thought you would have put into it, and really only the Recently might land in a top 50 performances of the past 5 years, but there's thought into the picks. Even the Billies is the first time it's been on a Warehouse disc, right? Just a bad date.

I'm not an apologist, I just think comments like "no thought" are off the mark.

Haven't been around here in a bit... there are some very nice selections


Sugar Will 03.06.10 O2 Arena, London, England
Tripping Billies 08.22.07 Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati, OH
Recently 04.18.09 John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, VA
The Riff 09.07.12 Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre, Chula Vista, CA
Snow Outside 09.09.12 Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View,
Typical Situation 09.19.07 Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, Charlotte, NC
Kill The King 06.06.06 DTE Energy Music Theatre, Clarkston, MI

Happy to get this Sugar Will and Riff. Snow Outside too. Debut KTK is pretty fuckin hot.

Including this Billies is odd as we have it.

I'll take any Typical any time

I hear what you're saying, but the fact that we can look at DMB Almanac and see within one minute that that exact Billies was already released shows that someone's asleep at the wheel, at least to some extent.

But again, like I said, I'm genuinely enthused with about half the tracks, which ain't bad.

Thanks for the link

I'm partial to the '04 versions but Tim kills on this. And while I hate the "sweet/good" chorus change the verses with the "Heaven is a place where..." is kinda cool (though it's a Talking Heads rip off)

Best one ever.

Sugar Will & Recently are.

It's decent. Dave's voice is kinda hoarse, but he sings it kinda differently. I remember a flub towards the end.

I always loved the DMB debut the day before, but I might be confusing it with this.

[sean52692]

I appreciate having that 07 Typical on there, the intro is fairly unique, etc...But it's still a 2007 performance. Plenty of others from 04, 2012 and the 90s that I'd rather have
