It'd be nice to know how much money I need to bring to cover Frost* CD, possible new T-shirt and Dream Theater tour shirt.

£5 will procure you a gig CD. For 45 minutes of music I think that's not bad value. 1000 have arrived at my holiday home this very day. As with the last tour CD's these are strictly limited edition. We've no new T-shirts for these gigs sadly, but the old ones will be there.

I am planning on getting some RoSFest ones redone as I think they were our best yet, but it's all dependent on InsideOut fronting me some dosh for a bunch of stuff. They've gone rather quiet ominously...

Blast those ominously quiet ones!

Proudly wore my Frost*Fest shirt just yesterday.  A Union Jack version would be rather cool, too.  Coming to the end of the EIMA juggernaut, though.  Do I sense some relief?  Ready to move on to other things by now, I imagine.

And I guess (read: hope :D ) that some of these would be sold on the Frost* store... Right?

I would like a Tour CD and a T-shirt to console me for being unable to go. Would pre-orders for t-shirts in the Frost* store work as a way of generating dosh to get some done? I'm sure there are other Frost*ies who couldn't make it to ROSfest but would still love a t-shirt.

I think there is some confusion. AFAIK this is what I know:

1. The live cd = The Philadelphia Experiment (ROSfest) and that one is going to be released through InsideOut
2. The DT Gig cd = studio stuff that didn't end up on EIMA. I believe even a Frost Report was added to it?

Would any kind soul who is attending one of the gigs at the weekend (and has a PayPal account for reimbursement purposes) be able to purchase an extra tour CD for me and post it to me? I'm sad that I can't go to either of them.

Actually, I believe the DT gig CD contains only the RoSFest tracks that didn't make it onto the label release.  The label release will have the bulk of the RoSFest tracks, the 4 EIMA B-sides and the 45 minute Frost* Report.

Ditto.  I also have a PayPal account and would be most gr8ful if someone would purchase and ship an extra gig CD on my behalf.

Yes, apart from the packaging, I don't think there is anything on the disk that will not be on the live album package.
TFYS is one of the "B-sides" and all live tracks are said to be from the forthcoming live release.

By the way, has anyone scanned the CD's front cover and has the image as a JPEG? I'd love to have it accompanying the wonderful sounds on my iPod.

I'd scan it myself, but I won't have access to a scanner until the end of next week and Jem and John scribbled all over mine. Barbarians.  ;)

Weezul sir, thank you very much! I love that cover to bits (I really should stop holding it now  ;) ).

Meanwhile, I'd have thought that definitely some of the tracks from this tour CD would've gone on The Philidelphia Experiment - Hyperventilate especially, seeing as it's the concert opener. Maybe it's a mix of what will be on there and what won't be. I don't mind one bit, personally.  :)

I hope the covers will be different, though I don't know how you could get a better one than the one as featured by Weezul!

I can't do a double album, not if I want to include the 45 minute Frost report as well. That would be a 3 CD package and start to get stupidly complicated, not to mention expensive.

The set was 2 hours long. I've included a taster of the live album on the tour CD. Although I've not entirely planned it yet, I expect the actual "TPE" CD will be a "best of" with as much from the gig as I can fit on. There will be some tracks that have to step aside, such as Pocket Sun, No Me No You and a few others I expect. That said, I'd like to do a special mix on the DVD that contains the entire gig in WAV form plus the Frost report plus the full compliment of EIMA B-Sides. So hopefully that will please as many people as it's humanly possible to please in a Frost-Live-Album context.  ;)

Oh no, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. I got the gist that it would be a single cd live-album and that as much of the remainder of the live-tracks from ROSfest would be on the tour cd.

I would love to have the whole concert in WAV format (instead of MP3) so I can put it easily on my own cd-r's and make my own complete ROSfest disc... cool idea.

really? they take 25% off a CD that you spent all the effort recording, mixing and pressing? Or was your record company involved with the pressing? Or was it DT tour manager stuff? I'm quite interested in this side of things

I am new on this forum, but by reading previous posts re the live album thingy you really look after your fanbase and that is so unusual in this rat race (who else would put the whole album in wav format for next to nowt).  Hats of to you for keeping it all real and making your fans happy.

Does anyone remember the mysterious warning against pigs at the beginning of one of the Frost* Reports? "Do no trust pigs...they are evil..." Is it just coincidence that poor Jem's gone down with a bit of swine flu? Pig's revenge for trying to warn us, I say.
