@paolinogrande001 : just got it today. its the yellow vinyl ones. And of course NO cd…dammit. Downloadcode though. Its yours if you want it. If you want to work something out…im at ffbernie@gmail.com
I received my copies of 3 & 5 yesterday. Very happy with both of them. First of all, the packaging is beautiful as always! Love the liner notes too.
I am very pleased with the song selection on RW5 and like i said in the Hedon show topic i really really love Kristoffer Lo's playing. He adds so much to these songs, especially in Taifun. There is so much happening in this record. Amazing. Really far out. Only highlights. What a fantastic record.
Very happy with RW3 too. Not new since i already own the Haircuts DVD but nice to have this on vinyl. Since i was at the concert and have real fond memories of this magical night this release feels as a present. Absolute highlight is off course Hogwash, although there is lot's of magic happening on this one. Stained Glass, STG, wow. I also really like the version of Little Ricky Massenburg. The moment Geb left his drumset to sit uo front. I remember him saying sorry for his dirty feet. They had been playing soccer in the Vondelpark in the afternoon. Relaxed vibe on that show which you can really hear and see.
Since my turntable has some issues (again) i am very pleased that the download i available in several formats, including flac.
also received numbers 1,3 and 5 today. beautifully looking and sounding from the parts I listened to as of yet.
Speaking of RW5, I also wondered that they didn't decide on stretching the long songs on seperate discs in order to be able to crossfade when using 2 turntables. On the other hand, who would really do that in the end? DJs who were looking forward to rocking lacuna or un chien at the next indie-disco must be really disappointed
actually, it adds some nice quirky experience to it. Impro fades out, you turn the record, impro fades in, "ah, that's where they left off", what was I thinking! :STG:
Lots of material to get into, highlight so far: Stained Glass & 577 and of course gebs little ricky.
@ Marc- I remember when Yesshows came out back in about 1980, with the 35 minute Ritual split over two sides. The 'quirky experience' soon became pretty annoying mostly because in those days we didn't have the oppprtunity to hear it all as one track as there were no CDs or mp3s. We had to tape it and then listen to the cassette, but still with the fade out – fade in. I was so stoked when it finally came out on CD. What a joy it was to hear it whole.
I got my vinyls of III and V today, too from Stickman. But I cannot find the download code. Where is it supposed to be???
@TheVoid: typically on a small piece of paper/carton inside the cover. Sometimes it gets stuck in the fold. If it's just not to be found I would contact Stickman.
Thank you so much, in both cases, the paper with the code was stuck in the fold! Easy, when you know where and what for to look😀
I really love the more quiet pieces on V. Taifun and Manmower are just brilliant! On the downside (coming from a far out high): Lacuna a tiny bit to long and Un Chien… well, of course it’s fantastic, but this one is not better than the RW I version, to be honest: the end of the old version, when the vocals return, so quiet an fragile after the storm, still chills my spine every time I hear it. The new version is more heavy in the middle but lacks this emotion at the end, but that’s just my opinion.
What I try to say, I had preferred to get some other material in these 45 minutes, that wasn’t released on RW before, e.g. The Tower, Dream Home or TGC.
But nevertheless: Mindblowing release that captures this fantastic tour perfectly!

RW5 version of Manmower with video!
Also cool to hear Bent's comment at the end: "You guys seem to have triggered our jamming mode. Wonderful!"
