Thanks, Marty!

I see they raised the price since this morning.... :rolleyes: :laugh:

I think it's okay, but the little sun they added is just too, too cheesy.

EnchantedSLN 04-27-2004 08:36 PM

Looks like something a bootlegger threw together :rolleyes:.

Thanks for the heads up, Marty!

estranged4life 04-27-2004 08:39 PM

Kinda...
 
generic cover dontcha think? :laugh:

WelshWitchPMD 04-27-2004 08:58 PM

Thanks for the info. That cover is just a bunch of tourbook photos. Not very exciting.

DownOnRodeo 04-27-2004 08:59 PM

I think it's actually an orange light, but it looks like a sun which is cool.

'Watch the sun riiiise...'


I like it, it's not too obscure or irrelevant. Save that for the studio albums. This is just what it is - FM live in concert.

Although I am reminded of what I read in the Tusk reissue liner notes, about the fans being turned off by the cover art with a picture of a biting dog and wanting a picture of a twirling Stevie instead..

ThePenguin 04-27-2004 09:00 PM

Actually for me, the cover is gone now. It was there before! It now says no image available. :shrug:

Also, what's so good about Boston? Great venue/crowds or something? It's just that I know there's that other Boston CD from the early Mac.

Nice save on the image. There was this album:

but I think you are thinking of the Live at the Boston Tea Party Series:

Neat album cover, I kinda like it. Hope this album makes it to South America, otherwise I'll have to
Spoiler:
download it from Soulseek


Just had to use that code at some point of time. :D

I thinkt's an excellent cover. And I like that it's called Live in Boston and not Soundstage.

I wouldn't want it to be a picture of just Stevie, but I think they could have a) chosen better photos, and b) arranged/positioned them better. It looks a bit cheesy is all, imo. But I'm just glad it's being released!

louielouie2000 04-27-2004 10:39 PM

Well I think it's great. It captures each and every one of their personalities in concert, and the ambience of the bands shows. I just can't wait for this!!! :]

jwys_soapbox 04-27-2004 10:45 PM

Overall, I think it's nice. Not as good as The Dance, but good enough. Still, I have to get this out of my system: COUSIN IT!!!!! Anyone get my meaning? Show the lovely face, Stephanie!

John

no_spoken_word 04-27-2004 11:11 PM

I love the cover! Particularly because Stevie takes up more room than the rest of them put together!

The Dance is the most gorgeous album cover. EVER. EVER.... EVER.

sparky 04-27-2004 11:26 PM

TOTAL COUSIN IT ! ROTFLMAO !!!
I kinda like it.

estranged4life 04-28-2004 12:01 AM

I guess...
 
if Stevie is Cousin It (Btw, Stevie could be Morticia in that ol' black dress!!!) then it's safe to assume Mick is Lurch??? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

WHOO HOO!!! Something as simple as discussion about the album cover is now going to turn into yet ANOTHER Stevie VS. Lindsey debate. (No offense Lux, I'm surely adding fuel to the fire here myself.) Last I checked, it wasn't allowed to focus on Stevie either without being flagged as a silly "Chiffon head" . Nobody can win I guess.

yes, well... that's another issue altogether which I wasn't really going to raise cause I saw it going down a pointless SvL course of discussion. Either way, I've rationalized that her face is hidden and she's turned away which equals out her size. :thumbsup: That said, I like how she's sort of (justifiably) depicted as the sort of 'spirit' of the band on stage. Lindsey has that yellowy 'energy' light around him so that's good enough for me. I think it's great, just showing them what they do best.

DownOnRodeo 04-28-2004 03:06 AM

Perhaps an alternate band name: 'Stevie and the Family Stoned'?

Has anyone pre-ordered this?

And another album cover too! Live in Boston
 
Now that's a great album cover!!!

I'd rather these "action" shots blended together then a single shot of them all together in one pic on stage just standing there facing the audience... How boring would that be? At least with these shots it's up close, and captures the essense of each individuals perfomance... Remember it is a promo tool... not a poster!

With all due respect, you do not just "hint to the fact that I really only care for Lindsey('s body)" or at least it comes across that way. You say things like, in sum, LB should be up there alone and La Nicks should not be there, etc. Again, even though I think most people have no problem with you feeling that way, you must realize by now that when you say things like that even in jest, people are going to call you on it because it comes across as disrespect of Stevie and her significant contributions as a member of FM. So, IMO, you are not being singled out in any way and it is not a personal attack on your feelings for LB. It is a reminder that he is not the only person in FM :laugh:

Also, although they are all featured on the cover, La Nicks is more prominently featured on the cover because she is the most recognized member of FM and they (record company and band) want this to sell. Note: I am not slamming LB or Mick or John. But, clearly Stevie is more recognizeable and initial reaction from the majority of people glancing at a group of discs by different artists is very very important from a marketing perspective. That is all I am saying.

Watch your mouth, young man! Boston Tea Party. We might have been under the Brits (no offense, Pip et al) as long as the Australians were otherwise. ;) :nod:

Let me take a crack at this. The Stevie crowd is much larger. The Lindsey crowd is smaller (and hardly a crowd, more like a team), but way more refined and sophisticated. ;) Of coure, there is also a third contingent, the Buckingham-Nicks crowd, consisting of members who claim they like both equally but usually favor Stevie a little more. A subgroup of that is the "Never Admit It" crowd, and these are the people who realize Lindsey has gotten better with time while Stevie stagnated somewhere around 1984, made a slight improvement in the late 90s and then reached another plateau, albeit not nearly as low as 1984. They realize that, but they'll never admit it publicly. :nod: :]

So don't feel bad. Just rejoice in knowing you are among the sophisticates. :woohoo:

I must be part of the "Always Admit It" crowd. ;)

CarneVaca 04-28-2004 08:44 AM

I have serious doubts about whether this is the actual album cover. It's pretty cheesy. I could have made that myself.

Also, you might have noticed that when you click Marty's link in the original post there is also an item for a "PBS Special" with a release date of Jan. 1 2010. That raises some questions. What is the difference between these two releases? Could the PBS special be the Lindsey show? I would pay 50 bucks for the Lindsey appearance. That is really what I want.

I would also add to the "The Lindsey crowd is smaller (and hardly a crowd, more like a team), but way more refined and sophisticated. ;) " the fact that they seemingly gleefully slight La Nicks and then when called on it say things like "I was joking" "I didn't mean it that way" blah blah blah. LONG LIVE THE CHIFFONHEADS!!!! :cool:

You also forgot the I loved LB int he 70's and 80's but his 90's stuff stinks :cool:

I don't give a crap if Stevie's front and center on that cover. What I do care about, however, is that that cover is REALLY freaking ugly.

mylittledemon 04-28-2004 10:51 AM

Lindsey and Stevie
 
Hmm...well I'd be one of those that favor BOTH Stevie and Lindsey equally. Althought I'd tend to lean towards Lindsey. I like his eccentricities; plus I play guitar in his vein, so I relate with him. And I do think they're two of the most important members to ever join. it doesn't get any better than the classic Rumours lineup.

wondergirl9847 04-28-2004 11:01 AM

Two covers I don't care for. LOL Ah well, the MUSIC is what matters!! :nod:

I bet it gets claustrophobic in there. Not to mention pulsatingly wet. Nyet? :p
