Dave being David Lemieux, no doubt.

I did the subscription again.

I'll do the subscription again, although I do object to paying an $12 extra, per release for living in the UK, I wouldn't be charged that much if I were buying the individual releases. On the basis of the first release, it's difficult to see how this series is going to differ much from Dick's Picks or the later issues Road Trips releases, but that's not a criticism. It would be nice if the packaging was improved to give the discs more protection than the Road Trips packaging offered, but I can't see that happening.

I've only ever bought the official releases, so I'm not familier with the 5/25/77 show, but it looks like a tasty setlist and the other releases from that tour are great, so I'm looking forward to this.

1977 should be good. I really can't afford a sub, but the 12k limit should sell out quickly.
