Insomniac turns a quarter-century old!

And of course they have to annoy me and splice out parts from the live tracks =P

What's the problem with the live tracks?

I'm watching the video and I didn't notice anything wrong, apart that the playlist is not order

Billie not saying Geek Stink Breath is the next song is one example I noticed right away. This is differences from the announcement video FYI:

I saw people on reddit say they were shipped two vinyls by mistake...anyone on here get two orange vinyls (and would be willing to ship one to me???? aha)

I bet they cut down on some of that to ensure all the songs fit on one side of a record. I'm definitely missing "this is our last FUCKING song" before 86

Just got an email from Warner saying they accidentally mixed in some black anniversary vinyls. Can't wait to see if I got the right one tomorrow

Yeah, I was looking forward to "THIS IS OUR LAST FUCKIN SONG" when I listened today and was *the slightest bit disappointed when it wasn't there.

Anyway, the whole thing absolutely would've fit on one side without editing. Most pressing plants will tell ya 20-22 minutes a side, and the anniversary video is 21 minutes WITH all that additional footage. I doubt those little cuts of talking would've put em over the edge, yknow? If anything, I bet it was to make the songs transition more smoothly from one to the next since they did kinda jumble them around

ironic for a statement like this to come from Eric, GDC's resident complainer

I did get two shipping notifications from Warner. I assumed one was for my Network order. Now I'm wondering if it's two vinyls.

Good point! I forgot the footage was out of order with the actual performance.

Well, the remaster is a brick as expected, but is nice they leave the live record flow with dynamics.

And for the remaster itself, the extra midrange touch is nice. They actually did something to the record instead of just making it louder

What do you mean it’s a brick?

Just gave this a proper listen on ORANGE vinyl and think it sounds fantastic. Not a night and day difference between the OG per se, but very good.

[dudley dawson]

Also the live songs sound INCREDIBLE considering age/source. Wow.

[jengd]

I got the digital version, NOT going back to vinyl, and it sounds great, really got it for the live tracks and I love it.

[Doggins]

I love the fact I can stream these live tracks on Spotify.. FINALLY

[Christian's Inferno!]

I feel like they could've had that alternate version of Good Riddance on this album. It would fit on Insomniac and with it being one of their bigger hits, it could've maybe attracted more people to the rest of the deluxe edition. I would've liked to be able to listen to that on Spotify

Somebody on discogs said that one disc of theirs is orange and the other is black and there's no hype sticker on the cover. Anybody else wind up with some weird flukes like that? 

Shipping on mine got delayed, but it should be here pretty soon still. Excited to get it!  

[suffoKate]

I just opened my parcel, and I got the oranges! Orange like orange Bllie!

I just realized how much I miss this era of GD. Its bears the most nostalgia for me, and that era seemed all to brief, as a fever dream.

[WhiteTim]

I wish they’d included unreleased tracks from the sessions really make it a deluxe edition

No hype sticker on mine but did get both oranges.
