sigh.
really
that blows to some extent.
...
i'll still get a couple

[Lx_Nen]

I'll get the ones I'm going to... and maybe the others if the tracks or arrangements are different. Comparing the youtube clip from Boston to the Birmingham and Norwich gigs, I think Bamboo is 'getting worked out live on stage' as King of Snake was, so it might get better/more experimental as the tour goes on.

For reference, here's a list of tracks that UW have played on this tour so far that are NOT on the Birmingham CD:

Luetin
Dirty Epic
Spikee
Skyscraper
Juanita
Mo Move
New Train (not sure how this differs from Dark Train?)
Rowla
You Do Scribble
Moaner

If there's a Norwich CD, it would cover 4 of these (Dirty Epic, Rowla, Moaner, You Do scribble)

They're the same. My suspicion is that long ago UW originally were calling it New Train to distinguish it from early versions of Dark Train that they used to play live which were significantly different from the Dark Train as we know it on album releases.

I'm impressed that they can do this - it must take some serious gear to record everything, then burn multitudes of discs to sell right there at the gig. That's badass.

Faithless did this at Wembley arena earlier this year. Wonder who came up with this though!?

Pearl Jam and Phish were doing this years ago.

might have been the pixies, i think. i remeber p-fork losing their heads over it.
then big labels were like "wtf is this you cant do this unless we're seeing money from it and we're not interested in doing this anyway so we'll buy out whatever companies are doing this. bye."

ah yes.

directly after gigs? i remember them doing this and selling them en masse in lil slipcases at stores, not right after gigs.

It's not that hard. Someone can be monitoring, mastering, and tracking throughout the show. With just 2 or 3 High-speed, high-capacity CD-R duplicators like this:

you can pump out 300-400 discs per hour. Those duplicators only cost about $2000-3000 each. The packaging and CD-R's can be pre-printed and pre-silkscreened.

According to their website, Live Here Now has been doing this since Dec. 2004. I think InstantLive was also doing it at least since 2004, because they did all the PWEI Reformation gigs in Jan. 2005, including a DVD release at one of the shows.

and Kittens as well.

yeah i was going to say that about Pearl Jam doing the mass diskings of live shows.

so i thought the Live in Tokyo 3x factory CD album was available right after that show as well, am i wrong? how was THAT done?
