Man, I need to get a concert travel sponsor or something.

As a side note, am I the only person who's had a hard time getting the damn CD out on the last couple of albums? I'm all for eco friendly packaging but I also want to be able to take the CD out and put it back in without worrying about damaging anything. Oddly enough, The Fray's latest album uses the same cardboard thingy, packaged the same way, and I've had no trouble with that one.

I don't have any problems with the WOAD deluxe packaging whatsoever. Much easier than the BTR packaging.

I took it out tutted and then put the cds in proper plastic cases. It's annoyingly too big to go in a rack, and yeah hard not to tear when you take them out.

Ain't that the truth! If you mean the deluxe edition...those card holders every disc comes in, and you have to take everything out to get one of the discs out. Very annoying. Should have gone for the Bon Jovi boxset style.

I'm all for saving the planet but surely there has to be a better way?

The Hold Steady are a ****ing great band.

And the War Child albums have had a unique spirit since Help in '94 (?). I was only too glad to actually pay money for the Heroes Album.

Atlantic City isn't as good as The Band's version, but the album has some fantastic standouts - Scissor Sisters doin' Roxy Music, Rufus doin' Brian Wilson and (even!!!!) the Kooks doin' the Kinks (Victoria).

Well worth a tenner.

I heard it just this past August in Gillette Stadium in Boston - it started the encore:

I'm Goin' Down
Jungleland
Born To Run
Glory Days
Dancing In The Dark
American Land
Rosalita

Hell of a good show

Agreed- although I do love the BTR CD in that set, how it looks like a vinyl and all
