Very happy they're continuing the box set deluxe editions, which I assumed would only be the EMI/Warner titles. I preordered my copy directly from Marillion this morning (sorry, no AmazWAN this time). This album isn't quite on the same level as its predecessor (Afraid Of Sunlight) but it's still a fantastic record and there's some nice bonus material here.

I read an interview with Rothery and I think I posted it here about a year ago that he said the plan is to do every album this way.

I saw this tour in Philly in 1997 when they used the internet to tour and were the first band to do so, and half of this album was really good and the other half started a serious decline for the band that didn’t end until Marbles, and it’s been great since then (Marbles was a really good piece of music).

I’ll definitely be getting this though, because what’s good is really good and the video concert on the Blu-Ray will be very worthy, though I couldn’t find the track listing for that.

An audio recording of the 1997 Utrecht show was previously released by the band as part of their official bootleg series... here's the tracklist.

The price from Amazon Canada seems good, $48.57 which is about the same as the US price after conversion.

Update: I've added a packshot to the opening post.

FYI this is finally in stock again (Amazon USA) after being on back order for several months.

Yes, I just got it last week.

Next up later this year is apparently Marillion.com from 1999.
