So as excited as I am about the official release of the album today, I REALLY want the missing tracks from OBH. Seems to be a lack of communication about these from the powers that be. Have I possibly missed something?

Did anyone really think these were going to be available today?

Very impatiently waiting for these, the final piece of the puzzle.

Not including the puzzle.

So they're only available to people who buy the shows from now on? Super weak. And you can't buy the tracks separately, meaning I can only get these tracks if I buy all three shows again.

Not sure where you're getting that from. Anyone who purchased OBH 2015 shows, or got a download code for attending, will receive an email for the download of the three, previously omitted Waterfall tracks.

I understand everyone's frustration. I ordered a deluxe LP box set that's delayed (and NOT a Roll Call/Wonderful Union fuck up, BTW), a signed vinyl from the UK that's in-transit, and a deluxe CD from Amazon that won't deliver until this afternoon. Only Newbury Comics came through on release-date delivery. Don't let it ruin the experience. Roll with it, stream it in Spotify or check out the full album on YouTube.
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

hi.

wondering when i can expect to receive the three remaining songs that were left
off the original One Big Holiday downloads. the new record has been released, no
longer any reason to hold those songs back.

thanks for any info you can provide.

and got this pointless, infuriating, cut-and-paste non-reply:

My Morning Jacket has kindly requested to delay the inclusion of "Big
Decisions", "Compound Fracture", and "Only Memories Remain" until after the
release of The Waterfall on May 4th. These songs will be sent to anyone that
purchased the shows after 5/4/15.

Please let me know if you require further assistance.
Thanks for supporting www.LiveDownloads.com!

further assistance? just answer the damn question.

Strange - the tracks appear to be available now on the LiveDownloads page. But nobody has been emailed, and you can't buy the single tracks as of now.

I have a feeling they are doing editing work and are going to have to send us back 3 tracks. On the original versions, they actually edited the track before the new songs to transition into the track after the new song, which means just adding in the new song would make things not transition as smoothly since they already did editing work. I bet the hold up is that they have to edit the end of the track before to make it transition into the new song as opposed to the next song (if that makes any sense at all).

the transition issue makes sense, but it seems that could have been anticipated and taken care of already.

i hate internet whiners, and therefore hate myself for whining on the internet, but i see no reason why a link to those 3 songs couldn't have been waiting in my inbox yesterday.

It was stupid to edit them to make for a transition without the new tracks in the first place. I think we could have coped with the tracks not transitioning properly for 3-4 weeks if we would eventually get the missing tracks that would make it all flow smoothly. They basically doubled the amount of work they had to do to make it transition and then change the transition with the missing tracks.

Found a sweet workaround!

If you've already downloaded the shows, just go to "My Stash" and click on each show to download them again. Just click the new track from each of the nights and it will download no problem. Enjoying them now!

THIS WORKS!! THANKS!!

Make sure you redownload the two tracks surrounding the Waterfall tracks. Otherwise transitions sound funny.

hrm, I downloaded the three new tracks last night.  I'll have to download the 6 other surrounding ones now.  Pretty dumb to edit these tracks again.  Since I downloaded in FLAC, and I convert them to MP3 for compatibility with some of my devices, now I have reconvert all of those as well.... so dumb.

I did listen to each one of the new tracks last night and they all sound fantastic, better than I remember even.  Only memories is just amazing!  Compound Fracture takes on a different life in its live form.  Big D is still Big D.  :)

Just got an email from them stating what we already found out above.

Glad to see that they're at least notifying everyone!

I don't get why they would edit the preceding / post Waterfall tracks so that they 'flowed' without the songs - Now I have to re-download those tracks as well.  Kinda annoying.  But the new songs live sound awesome.
Cuz it's been so long since someone shattered me.
