Vegas '96 Deluxe Box Set is Weak Sauce

don’t blame phish, blame musictoday!

Ya know, Aug’s avatar. I keep wondering if she’s getting a sniff of her own stuff… and if so I don’t see how she can be so surprised… I mean shouldn’t she have an inkling of her own… stuff? Now if thats not the case and its a game of “smell my finger!” then hell, anything goes.

this has been my deep thought for the day.

No thanks. I prefer blaming politicians, thank you.

Shitty packaging? Fuck you Senator Craig you ghey wad!

If i’m not mistaken it’s from the screech porno tape! That girl was in the bathroom while her friend got a screech finger in the ass. When she came out of the bathroom he gave her a Dirty sanchez!

!

Dirty Sanchez for everybody!

Except me, I’ll be leaving now.

i’ve always wondered about that avatar too. thanks for clearing that up a.

^that would be b… via g about a.

I’ve been rockin’ the DVD - it’s good!

^the dvd is my main concern, im pumped for the discs, but i own no phish dvds, so this is a big deal to me

I didn’t preorder this. I didn’t even order this.

I’m to that point where I want all of these new releases, but I’ve spent enough money on Phish releases for a few years, so…thumbs down.

And yeah, their packaging sucks for what you pay. Even the Live Phish ones were kind of janky. One of my Live Phish’s has this weird sticky stuff inside and on the discs so they don’t play right. And no, I wasn’t jerking off unto CDs (for once). It’s like the plastic is disintegrating or somefin.

I just got the CD set. Everybody seems to not like this Vegas 96 release, but I think it’s awesome. I really enjoyed the first set even, and listening to the Mikes > Simple > Hood > Weekapaug now. The AUD recording of this wasn’t that good too.

Is the DVD available in stores, on it’s own (since I already have the CD)?

It’s not available on its own, only included with the CD’s as a “limited edition.”

I don’t think anybody is hating on the show itself. I think it’s the way they keep choosing to release shows that pisses us off. I know it irks me. I’m an obstinate old music fool, and I want physical releases that aren’t hamstrung by “you need to preorder this to get everything” in the case of Vegas '96 and “you need to buy the download and then some digital only singles to get everything” in the case of the Colorado '88 release.

Plus from what people have said in this thread, the case for Vegas '96 is janky. I know for a fact that my one Live Phish release is funky but in a bad way, and my Vegas '00 DVD is falling apart due to cheap cardboard…

you could just bypass the whole box thing and download the show from livephish for 9.95 and get Wilson and YEM on vid.

I thought this was about the packaging, no?

Anyway, I got it today in the mail.
Everything was fine for me except the “Road to Vegas” disc, which was not wrapped in plastic.
Which could have caused it to fall out, but didn’t.

Whatever, It was all there and not damaged.
Less waste for the garbage is how I look at it.

Can’t wait to give it a good listen and watch the DVD.

I also got the Dice and Cards!
The Oh Kee Pa Texas Hold’em /Craps game is here in Chicago.
:stuck_out_tongue:

starts driving to Chicago with a pistol and a wad of cash

good to see ya 'round here Brian. Hope all is well.

Want to burn me those cds and dvds and trade for 'em??? ;D :wink: jk, jk

No need for these any longer! Got my ST invite!

Well,

I just just got it in. And I’m groovin’ to YEM right now. And I like it. Maybe us dutch gotn’t spoiled that much, Phishwise.

Wow the quality of these videos is ridiculously good! Thoroughly enjoying watching the MIke’s, Simple and Hood videos that are on youtube while wasting time at work here.
