From the Mailboat Records Site: Yes, the day has finally arrived! After much talk, you will now be able to download audio from our site. The first release will be the audio from "Live At Wrigley Field" which will be available on November 27th. For those who do not wish to download and prefer CDs, you can also purchase the CD from us. (This will not be available in stores.)
The download can be purchased for 12.98 and the CD for 14.98.

So when in late April/early May, Mailboat records said that MP3 recordings of concerts were "coming soon" ---is this it?????

nvrmnd17 · Post by **nvrmnd17** » November 19, 2006 8:01 am

Actually I it was in January that the "Coming Soon" popped up on the MP3 page. Not quite a year, so on schedule for them.

While I would have been happier to see something very uniqie to kick off the download series, I'll be ordering this on CD because:
A) I'm a completist
and
B) I was there and will take any souvenir of that show

Next I'd like to see them offer something rare like any pre1991 concert or a special show like the Fillmore.

Wow.

Perhaps the DVD didn't sell as well and they know there are people out there that will buy the live record or even download the tunes so they can make MONEY.

Isn't the DVD in some kind of surround sound? Maybe it will sound good in just 'stereo'.

agreed on the completist... i have the dvd, abilites to record the songs, but nah, im buying.

and who knows, concert dvd's dont sell like cd's, they just aren't as accessible.

I dunno. I the difference between The Rolling Stones' Four Flicks and Live Licks is astounding - the DVD songs that made the live album are the complete performance, screwups and all, whereas on the live record they've been edited (Brown Sugar and Street Fighting Man), downright hacked (Rocks Off) and in some instances even overdubbed (Neighbours).

The Stones have always messed with their live recordings. Buffett's done very little editing and from what I can tell only 2 overdubs ever on a live recording (YHTBT's Come Monday is a studio vocal overdub and Grapefruit's acoustic direct track, although it also sounds like he went direct and was miced, it's hard to tell).

That's the beauty of the Tiki Time albums - audio verite.

Here's a shocker from the Mailboat website:

"We are sorry to announce that due to technical issues, the audio download for "Live At Wrigley Field" has been put on hold. You will still be able to order the CD beginning November 27th, which will be available only through mailboatrecords.com."

Glad I was planning on the CDs anyways.

I'll be ordering the CD too, for the same reasons as you.

Yes, something more unique would be nice. Like the Fillmore, or the Austin show this year. Hopefully Mailboat will get their act together "soon".

The Live At Wrigley CD is available for order, but the MP3 section that has said coming soon for 11 months is gone.

Really thought Jimmy would be able to release concerts for download like so many other bands do including his friends at Little Feat.

Agreed on the Fillmore and Austin shows since I was at both of them. I'd like to see the Texas Stadium show from 2 years ago too.

Still waiting/hoping for the Coastal Confessions DVD....

That's another one. Although at least I got to see it in the theater, we didn't have a power failure like some people in Indy did that night.

You are right... http://mailboatrecords.bubbleup.biz/pro ... ucts_id=42

But that's just a little disappointing. It's only the main movie audio, and the price is raised to $18.98. No bonus tracks. Oh well.

nvrmnd17 · Post by **nvrmnd17** » November 28, 2006 4:58 pm

I'm impressed with Mailboat. I ordered last night I got shipment confirmation this morning. Looking forward to adding this to my collection.

oldslip · Post by **oldslip** » November 30, 2006 4:52 pm

I'd like to see the CD reach iTunes. I already have so many Live Jimmy CDs that I'm more interested in picking off the few songs that are not included on other Live CDs. Something like La Vie Dansante which isn't on any other Live CD.

If you have total recorder, a DVD player and a CD burner on your computer, you can make your own .wav files of the songs on the DVD and make your own disk. Make sure you use the regular stereo option and not the 5.1 option (unless of course you have 5.1 surround sound in your car!).

I did it just for Bananna Republics and City of New Orleans.

nvrmnd17 · Post by **nvrmnd17** » December 6, 2006 5:14 pm

Got my copy of this the other day. I was pleasantly surprised to see Star Spangled Banner, Glory Days, and City Of New Orleans on the CD even though they weren't listed on the website.

Then today when I was importing a copy for my iPod I noticed another little surprise: they threw Ragtop Day from the 1st show onto Disc 1.

what's with that!?!?!? Will the extra $4.00 help them fix the download section??

nvrmnd17, please tell us about the CD packaging? was it in a stardard jewel case with artwork? or was it like a bootleg, just in a piece of folded paper with hand written track info?
