The LP sounds very nice. Well worth the price of admission.

I had the same thought yesterday as well. They could also sort out the running order (Bringing Down The Light shouldn't go in the middle) and perhaps make a triple to add the great B sides to the Jean the Birdman single. BMG did Dead Bees for RSD this year and so they could well do TFD for a RSD in the future ….
