The whole point is, this CD is not, and never has been, and was never intended to be, available through normal channels.

It was a promo item associated with Electraglide only.

Do you really think that if it were possible for the band to release this in the way you describe, they would refuse to do so just to piss us all off? Look at the history of this release, look at the steps that have been taken to satisfy Dirts.

If...

If...

If...

If my aunty had balls, she would be my uncle.

you'd still be complaining that you didn't know the exact time that the link was going to be put on uwlive so when it was, all the available copies were sold out anyway before you realised. There's absolutely zero difference with the ebay approach as long as there's going to be a limited number of items to sell. Except maybe that these ebay auctions are deliberately "hidden" from view so as to give people visiting dirty as much chance as possible to get them, whereas with a link on uwlive anyone could see it and they would be gone even quicker.

nope. and perhaps i wouldnt get one either, but at least it wouldnt seem so bizarre to me.

admittedly, it never occured to me that the selling of these discs was against some copyright of the cds, as i just assumed that R&K were putting more copies out to Yan and Mal to redistribute. i mistakenly assumed that by asking how many people wanted them, that the intention was to get to those people directly. I also didnt know that there was a finite amount. if ive offended anyone, i apologize. just realize that its easy to say, "be patient, and wait for your chance" when you already have the discs and have had them for months in some cases. this was the same gripe i had about the mp3s when they first came out if you remember.

it's just a live cd for christs sake. next time i'll purchase 10 and sell them for $$$ to the desperate among you.

... I meant that from a general standpoint. Do you know how many times I've listened to Karl say "say hello to all the dirties listening over the wonderful internet"... just from listening to the show, you can feel the energy... My reason for obtaining a copy of this show was to feel like I was a part of it somehow (although I wasn't clearly as I was on the other side of the globe). I would have spent the nearly $300 for a copy of this did I not have a wife and child to think about. I am forever grateful to all in part for making some of these available for such a fantastic price. THANK YOU to all involved once again, if I knew you all personally I'd buy you a pint!

Cheers,... raises glass...

Hence the reason why the original limited release for the people who went to the gig is getting released to us. Crazy bids on ebay is dumb for something that was broadvast via dirtyradio ALL WEEKEND.

potatobroth · #**120** 04-13-2006, 11:54 AM

dirtyradio is blocked from where i work so there's that.

crazy bids on ebay are a direct result of people on here saying how frigging great this show is, and the complete lack of options to obtain it. at first, there were those that had the mp3s and those that didnt. those that had said, "its not for sharing" at first. that annoyed those who didnt have - big thread on this. on dirts word alone, i would have spent way too much trying to get this 3cd set. but luckily a dirt came to my rescue and he/she is super awesome! i got the mp3s and played them to death. i still do. now i dont NEED the discs, but i have this weird desire to own them like i do other underworld stuff. i dont mind paying for their music even if ive just been handed perfect mp3s. if i got these discs, chances are i would still only play the mp3s that i own, but i still want a set as do lots of dirts here.

not all of us are gonna get the ebay sets. not all of us can get dirty radio in regular intervals. not all of us live in japan to go to the show. but ALL of us want to hear and/or own this set. its amazing. it just kinda sucks how hard it is to obtain it.
