Anyone get their copy of the Super Deluxe vinyl boxed set?
I bought mine the day of the release, prior to the initial sell out, thought that meant mine was of the original autographed copy.
I guess not.

Kind of annoyed, to be honest. That was a lot of money with months and months of delay. meh...

lololol
after flying to LA for that weak shit, I certainly don't...

I've got my ticket for Thursday the 17th!
So excited =)

Absolutely!
I feel that the only reason everyone else seems so keen on this track is due to the subject matter.
*shrug*

I like the idea of this thread morphing into more and more obscure and irrational pet peeves as time moves on

Second to "The Kiss of Morning" on most days but definitely top album on other days
In fact, those first 04 solo albums are just kind of ranked as equal winners (but I digress)...

No way better than Ghost Ship but leagues better than My Terracotta Heart

I've always loved Think Tank and always will (other that Crazy Beat and wgafoy)

Seeing/hearing them play it live in LA was the first time I truly dug that track.
So much more noise and groove in the live version

NOTHING needs a permanent place in the setlist.
Let that shit evolve and flow.
Stop being afraid to play some new shit.

Was wondering if the LA show was available anywhere

Yes indeed! Even though I'm still a bit bitter at the short shrift they gave the US in terms of number of shows (I didn't expect a coast-to-coast tour, but I certainly expected more than 2 shows!), overall it's been as good a year as any to be a Blur fan. I'm more of the perspective that: Two shows...

A) I find it amusing that they omitted I Broadcast from both the LA and New York shows
B) Ghost Ship is a far superior track and I'm real glad that they included it in the LA show =)

Done by 11PM on a Friday?!

Hope it was stellar! Looking forward to seeing the setlist and hearing about it
