I'm really curious what they will perform ... I asked a question on BJ.com and the answer made me so excited (esp the last part ) :

Question: Hi there! As many fans, I am all excited about the boxset. It truly will be an amazing thing to have! Does the band ever think about how they can do better after this great idea and process behind it? asked by Valerie on Saturday, November 13, 2004
Answer: Listen, here's my answer. I'm really glad everyone is excited about the box set. It truly was two years in the making with the only thought of this box set being something that the fans would enjoy. While I was mixing this box set, I didn't try to make everything pristine and perfect. There's a couple of warts, some guitars out of tune, etc, etc... but I tried to capture the vibe and the attitude of the song and of the band where they were at that point in time, when any particular song was recorded. You know, I wanted the technology to take second place to the character and the emotion of the song. I didn't want anything that I did to get in the way of the message of the songs. It's the same with the video. Alot of the video footage is just me doing videos of the band for 12 or 13 years... for our own personal amusement... with no plan to release it! And the quality isn't the greatest, but the content is priceless because you get to see the band members as they truly are. As for what's the band gonna do to top this, believe me. This band is always striving to do something creative and something that the fans will like and something that they creatively are proud of... not everyone is gonna like everything they do because that's just impossible. Art is subjective. Music is subjective. Look, we know there are some early copiese of the box set out and you're gonna be hearing OPINIONS but here's what I think and I thought this the entire time we were putting the box set together:
I think every fan that gets this box set will be affected in a different way and that's the way it should be. There should be songs and text and pictures will all affect you differently. That's what everyone was hoping for. There's so much in this box... it's so deep, it's so layered... we think you're gonna get lost in it for a while. I think this is the greatest project I've ever been lucky enough to work on. And I've always been of the mindset that this band has the greatest fans on the planet. I'd like to have people start lining up tomorrow to buy me lunch. But in the meantime, I know lots of people will have lots of questions and the people at this website are gonna do their best to get as much info up as quickly as they can about all things related to the box set but we keep giving them SO much info, it's gonna continue to trickle over the next few weeks I guess... so if you have questions, start sending them here because I'll visit more and more knowing the box set is out among you guys and not sitting on my mantle anymore... Hey, we're all out here in LA getting ready for the AMAs. Don't forget to tune in... or you're REALLY be sorry. Trust me. You want to watch this! answered by OBIE on Saturday, November 13 , 2004 12:38 PM
