Thanks to Messydesk for making this coin-related. image

It's the entire Europe '72 tour, 22 shows, 72 discs, all remastered. New artwork, two books, cool case. Simply amazing.

What music do you listen to while looking at your coins?

    Generally outstanding. There are some weak areas, but it is mostly very strong. Worlds better than than the bootlegs I listened to in the 1980's. image

    PM me your email address, and I will send a few tracks.

    72???

    Why does anyone need 72 discs of one band.

    In the world of rare coinage, I would equate that to collecting die states of 1854-O half dollars (of which there are a gazillion die varieties to begin with).

    I have zero discs of Mary Chapin Carpenter image

    That is an excellent analogy. I would have no interest in the many die states of 54-O half dollars, but I would enjoy "collecting" every Jack Straw ever recorded.

    I have zero discs of Mary Chapin Carpenter

    Sure, you don't. image

    I like that the whole set is HDCD encoded it's just hard to find a CD or DVD player these days that can still decode it, but well worth it!

    The neatest box set I own is a limited edition complete Japanese Beatles recording in a wooded Breadbox which opens like a roll-top desk.

    Been to a few, with the exception of the Zoo in OKC (band was 3 hours late and 100 degrees) they have always been awesome.

    My first GD concert was in 1981. I last saw them as Furthur in late 2010. I would have never guessed that I would be listening to them for 30+ years. This evening, I turned down an invite to travel to see them at Red Rocks in late September.

    I mostly listen to Sirius/XM. My car has XM in it. I recently picked up a used Infinity SUV without satellite so I fitted a Sirius unit that I bought a lifetime subscription to when I was going through my divorce and suspected leaner times would be ahead of me. I normally listen to classic Vinyl, Classic Rewind or perhaps the Bruce Channel or the Dead Channel. They have other channels dedicated to bands or genre. A week ago I discovered "70's on [channel] 7" and started listening to it for fun. Unlike the other stations that have mostly album rock, the 70s station has the AM music that (unfortunately) was about all I could listen to in my car for many of those years. This past week I've heard a lot of songs that I heard thousands of times in my Jr High, high school, and early college years and had almost forgotten. They also mix in a little disco. Remember disco? It was the new genre that librarians, secretaries, and school teachers heard and it spoke to them. It said, "Go buy a spandex dance outfit and go to the bars and dance, drink, and go home with strange men." I was glad to play my part in the equation.

    I'm too busy to even stock my ipod with tunes so I'm happy to have a DJ on satellite radio that will do it for me (commercial free). I can get it over the computer too so right now Heart is singing Barracuda in the background (that doesn't mean the fat lady in singing. When they recorded it they weren't fat.)

    Amazing how things you really get into find their way into your life.
    The night I asked my wife to marry me I told her to always remember - Love for Real Will Not Fade Away.
    It's our 30th this year.
    If you got about 10 minutes to kill try to watch this video. It always brings a smile to my face,
    probably because the song is "one of those songs" and the video is so unique.

    My box set arrived yesterday. It's going to be pretty hard to listen to 72 consecutive discs (oh no, not another MAMU), but I've avoided listening to the tour since the news of the box set release came out last spring. And the definition of obsessive - I bought this thing even though I already have copies of the entire tour.

    My first show was in 1984 at Southern Star Ampitheater at Astroworld in Houston Texas.
    I still have a huge case of 100's of bootleg tapes, I loved to spend hours listening to them back in the day.
    They are still such a favorite that my 16 year old daughter knows most of the words to many of their songs.

    What a long strange trip it's been.....
