Ghost Reveries re-release... when?

[Vegetaman]

What kind of quality does your cell phone get, out of curiosity?

 

[SPLASTiK]

Well, I'm going to be recording the Wiltern show on my cell phone for anybody who wants a copy.

Heh, I'm sure it will be properly recorded by someone. NYC and Chicago were, and Raleigh, if not more.

I'm sure this rerelease will have those BBC sessions and probably the making of. They might toss in the TGC video as well, but I don't know who would want that.

damn cus i just bought it for £9(the original)

 

[WinterSonnet]

I'm sorry- what does BBC mean?

I would buy it if it had some bonus tracks, as well as videos

british broadcasting corporation, many bands do BBC sessions, basically playing music in studios owned by the BBC, generally these tracks are used on BBC radio

There, is apparently the answer to one of the questions surrounding this thread.

That would be a disappointment to me if all they did was add those 3 songs. Now a STUDIO recording of Soldier Of Fortune would be awesome, but I doubt that would happen.

Although, I would buy the album anyway because I'm a collector.

Have you actually heard the track? The recordings sound so good that they make a studio version of the track unecessary (plus they were live-in-studio tracks...). I'd actually say that the version of When sounds better than the original studio version (although I've only heard it in awful quality). TGC isn't as good as it's studio counterpart because it sucks live. In fact, a good deal of the song sucks period... luckily, it's redeemed by the acoustic guitar part in the verses, the solo, the atmospherics, and some of the middle stuff. It would be pure garbage if not for those (although his growl sounds rad). Anyway, I digress.

I liked The Grand Conjuration Live. The verses sounded alot more evil.

 

[tgrude]

Hell yes, TGC is a killer live, amazing good livesong!

 

[Tubbs]

Eh, I'd still prefer a studio recording. I can't stand live recordings, period. (Music DVD's are awesome though.)

And yes, I have heard the track. In two different shows.

3/28 in the usa seems to be the day...

TGC owns live, maybe because of its stripped down construction.
