Ok,what's the skinny on this? I got an email saying you can get 1 free video clip if you preorder the Okonokos DVD.Where is this DVD from? Is it extra's from Okonokos? I didn't see this one coming.
We keep hearing about the Limited Edition "Acoustic Chorale" DVD, but nobody seems to know what it is, where it's from, or most importantly - where your average fan could buy it... nothing. I even e-mailed the management a few days ago, and they didn't know what I was talking about.
First, we hear that the Acoustic Chorale is up for grabs from a radio station in Kentucky... That's nice, too bad I'm in Alabama.
Next... we hear a source (CC?) say that if we buy the Okonokos DVD from a CIM (Coalition of Independent Music) store, the Acoustic Chorale DVD comes with it for free... once again, that's nice - but unfortunately the nearest CIM store is about 4 hours away from me.
Then we get this e-mail from Music Today saying if we pre-order the Okonokos DVD, we get 'At Dawn', a excerpt from the Acoustic Chorale... We don't get the entire Limited Edition DVD... we only get one video from it? Huh?
"Everyone who pre-orders will also get a special free video download clip of the band performing "At Dawn" from the upcoming limited edition release "Acoustic Chorale.""
If it's true that the CIM store is giving the entire Acoustic Chorale DVD away with the purchase of the Okonokos DVD, why on earth would I want to pre-order the Okonokos DVD from the official merchandizing JUST for the At Dawn video - when I could just go to a CIM store and buy it in-person and get the entire bonus DVD free, including At Dawn?
What the fuck is going on? Is someone just trying to jip us into buying multiple copies of the DVD and album?
I wouldn't mind buying the Acoustic Chorale DVD from the MMJ Store, in fact I wish I had better reasons to buy from the store because it seems like that'd be getting the band a bigger cut...
Someone in the know, please set this straight.

Yeah that.
Me too. All that stuff. That he said.

mmmm hmmmm
yup.
If the DVD is limited edition & only available in indie record stores in the US persons who live overseas have to work extra hard to get hold of a copy.
Any news would be appreciated :)
Wouldn't that be grand if they have copies of this for sale at the Charleston show? I think so.
If Riny gives the OK, I've got a sendspace link of the Acoustic Chorale I uploaded. It's not the best quality (I need to learn how to make the rip better) but it's worth watching.

Hey Geekdork, do you have the whole thing? How did you get it?
Yep, I have it, I got it as a giveaway from WFPK radio station here in Louisville.
I posted a picture of it over in the shows forums.
If you guys can, buy it from a CIMS store like Riny noted, it's well worth it and it supports your local record store instead of the bigbox stores.

Yeah, I just picked up my tix from FPK today and they a friggin' big ol' box full of the DVD's. Can't wait to get off work and watch some Jacket on the big screen.
This is one of the most amazing and gratifying things i have ever watched on a television screen. absolutely brilliant!!
'Strangulation' was pure magic and an emotional experience. this dvd reminds me why this is best rock band
in the history of man kind. period. you have to get your hands on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great...you guys are lucky! upload them and hook a brotha up! Nikkogino@aol.com
or somebody get to youtube.com
Fuck YouTube... use Google Video - it allows people to download files to save onto iPods.

Didn't realize this. I heard that Google is looking at buying Youtube (my wife read it in the newspaper last weekend). If this means all the Youtube videos will eventually be downloadable, it is great news.
they did buy youtube this week. for something like 1.6 billion dollars. The word is they're not changing much about the site.
Just got word back from earx-tacy... seems like this is going to be an ongoing mystery...
Hello, Thanks for the email. We have not yet received any confirmed information regarding the MMJ EP. I will pass along more info to you as it becomes available.
LOL. This is great... *sarcasm*
here's hoping they get back with some actual information!!
still undecided about pre-ordering the DVD (with or without the acoustic chorale dvd) as i might not be able to watch it when it gets here (aus being in a different DVD region of the planet for unknown reasons)
okonokos was in the shops here pretty quick, so i'm just hoping its the same with the dvds....
So I went to my local indie store here in Tempe and saw the track list for the Bonus DVD.
I dont remember all of them but i know it includes:
where to begin
at dawn
bermuda highway
strangulation
and i think dancefloors
seems as though these are the songs omitted from okonokos dvd
oh just remembered....
I think Im going to hell
for sure

Wow, now I
really need this!!!
I'm disappointed that this is not going to be available via the website.
If anyone manages to make an online order please let me know, thanks.

is this DVD out at the moment in the US? I haven't seen it in stores here yet, but I don't know if they'll either:
a. release it at the same time as the O dvd or
b. release it separately later or even more horrendously
c. not release it outside of the US (no! no!)
anyone seen any official mention of the dvd yet?
other than what Riny has told us I don't think there is any official word on this. A radio station in Louisville has been giving the DVD away but other than that I don't think they're supposed to be distributed until Okonokos drops.
If I had to guess I would say it's not going to make it overseas officially, but that it will have a wider distribution on the internet once the limited copies are distributed and it is "out of print", making it a legal download. So if you want the official release you may be out of luck but if you can handle watching a copy, it'll probably be widely available in November.
Yer I think aMDs is right.
I really want this & it upsets me to think that I won't be able to get hold of it.
Since I first discovered The Jacket I've made a point of buying everything (all the EPs, The Bloodshot Records album for Behind That Locked Door, both the Elizabethtown soundtracks etc etc)
Is it worth emailing management to see if we can't get this available on the website for a month or so?
If enough people do that will it make a difference?
i definitely be in on that if you do, db.
either that or i'd probably be prepared to send someone some money to get hold of one... or trade for a poster?

Here's the pic I posted from the other thread. I'll try and get some more info for you guys from ear x-tacy today at lunch.
I'll probably go the morning of the 31st or 30th @ midnight (if they're open for that) and I'll just pick up a few copies if they're avilable, no promises though.
If the dvd is truly limited and goes out of print, I am told I can spread it out for people to have it. It could be an exact copy because it would not need compression for a copy.
ya I might be willing to purchase extras and help out those in need.... there really isnt a huge following out here so it shouldnt be a problem... I have a connection with the owner of the store and hes gonna let me know when they get it and he'll have one waiting with my name on it
I would be up for sending money ahead or using PayPal or something like that. Can they be purchased seperately or only with the full dvd I wonder.
as far as I know you get it free when you buy the okonokos dvd (while stock lasts).
not sold seperately.
I just returned from ear x-tacy... Benevento Russo Duo tonight!! Weeeee! ;D ;D ;D
I talked to the dude there and he said it was free with the dvd purchase and they were alotted 150 copies to give away. He wasn't sure if they were doing a midnight sale but he said it'd be on the weekly email and I get that newletter.
Lame...
QuoteLame...
Wow, you are in a surly mood today ewok. >:(
Nah, I'm in a good mood, really. I promise... I'm just a tad irritated that I've heard three distinctly different answers coming from the exact same store.
I'm not worried about myself - I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a copy... I'm just feeling bad for the non-US folks, I guess.
- Surly Ewok
I know what yer saying, this dude today seemed pretty knowledgable though, he looked in the computer to see how many they were alotted to give out. Even if I didn't spell alotted right, he used that work and that impressed me, haha.
I don't thing they'll be sending this out on the online orders though, that just doesn't seem like the way places like this do things. They have bonuses like this to get people in the store instead of bigbox stores like bestbuy and in turn, bestbuy has their own offers sometimes to sway people away from mom and pop.
Quotei definitely be in on that if you do, db.
either that or i'd probably be prepared to send someone some money to get hold of one... or trade for a poster?
So what do we do, who should we write to?
If anyone can pick up an extra copy for me I'd be prepared to reward them for there troubles.
This is why this is silly - here I am offering someone cash to grab a copy for me when that money should really be going to the band :-/
But I'm serious. Not sure how it would work (for those of you who don't know, I live in Japan).
Could I pay someone using Paypal?
Here's an idea, if someone could get hold of a copy for me & ship it to my address (lets say the DVD was $20 & the shipping $10) I could send them $50 worth of amazon vouchers.
Anyone?
i might send out a couple of emails today to see if i can get any outside US release info, other than that, i'd be willing to do a similar thing with the vouchers or whatever....
although i might be stuck back with the DVD region issue again... have to check that out :-/
dammit sometimes it sucks living here
I am willing to do it. I can only get as many as the little store can dish out but if anyone wants in just shoot me a message and we can figure something out. Im here to help fellow jacketeers.
Whatever happened to those clips from the DVD being put up on youtube or google video???
I was going to put up the dvd rip but found out that was a no no.
Sorry, you'll have to wait til it's released.

Yea, who cares, let's just piss off this kick ass band that gives us this music so we can put some videos on fucking youtube.
Sorry, I'm not going to do that. >:(
After the dvd is pubically offered and out of stock, I am under the assumption it would be fine to trade the disc so others could have the opportunity to see it.

I've got no problem sharing the thing when it cool to do so, I's said that since I first got it.
Acoustic Chorale is an LE/Promo offering, and it'll be considered Out of Print pretty much the day of its official release... just hold yer horses, folks.
Who knows, there may be plans to re-release this thing.

You are right.....the whole band would be pissed that a guy like me (who owns everything MMJ has released, goes to every show he can afford to go to, and preaches to everyone he knows about MMJ) would, god forbid, be able to watch a disc that he might not be able to get his hands on. It is a freaking free disc...if anything, it will entice new people into buying MMJ albums.
I'm not asking you to put up Okonokos...I'm asking you to put up a freaking promo dvd. It has nothing to do with morals...some of you are a little out there when it comes to this subject. The people here who ask to hear or see rare things are not out to rip off the band...they are eager to see something that is too hard to get their hands on. Even if the acoustic chorale disc will be easy for me to obtain (and I will do my darndest to obtain it), I don't think Jim would care if you shared the free promo disc with all of us. We are talking about MMJ here...not Metallica.
Anyway, do what you want to do....keep the disc to yourself. You are one of the few who has seen it...so go ahead and feel special about yourself and sit on it. I just want everyone to know that I would share it with everyone on the boards (youtube or yousendit) because I know everyone cares about MMJ and wants to see everything they do. But hey, according to dragonboy I'm immoral...
The whole point of this small community is to share exciting things about our favorite band. I'm not saying you should rip all their cds and post them on the internet...I'm saying, we are all good people in here and we all want to see this cool (FREE) little treat. So do what you want to do......I'm just saying.

After that post according to me you're a dick :)
nikkogino, I think you're missing the point.
the ep is a promotion for independent record stores which has not taken place yet. I think you'll have to agree that putting this up for download now would undermine that promotion. i'm sure it will become available in some way eventually. have a little patience. please. thank you :-*

If you took the time to look around at the posts here or even read what I wrote in response to your post you'd see that I'm going to share the shit out of this disc after the promotion. By putting it out there now it could potentially make someone not drive down to their CIMS store to buy the dvd and instead go to circuit city or (god forbid) walmart to buy it.
The freebie is to get you to support local business, if it weren't for those businesses we would be in a much worse situation in some cities.
The day it is avilable and then unavilable again, I'll put it up or b&p it for people so they too can see the full quality disc.
Just have some patience and grow up.

I appologize if I pissed you off...I think I (and others) who collect everything MMJ releases are just on edge due to the fact that we don't really know the availability of the dvd. And if the disc is really rare, a lot of us won't be able to drive 2+ hours to get it on release day (due to having a job). I guess I am just antsy (and somewhat impatient since I have wanted to see MMJ on DVD for a long ass time). So sorry for being a "dick" or whatever...My love for the jacket clouds my eyeeeeeeeeees. :-[
Just wanted you Louisvillians to know that ear x-tacy is selling the OKONOKOS dvd at the screening on Monday and it'll include the sampler (while supplies last) If you want the dvd I'd go to the screening.
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/2801/mmjscreeningbannersy2.jpg)
I ordered a copy of Okonokos with free acoustic chorale dvd through ear X-tacy by phone today since I live too far away to go to the screening. They said that they have very few copies left, so hurry if you want to order one!
CC, is it possible that they will be selling the Acoustic Chorale version with the DVD at all of the Oct. 30th screenings?

Don't know, haven't heard anything about that.
I guess that's up to the local indie stores involved.
you can pre-order the dvd from Lou's Records in encinitas, ca and get not only the bonus DVD but a huge movie poster. We'll also be giving them out with purchase at the screening on monday. go to lousrecords.com for more info.
Just ordered! What a deal! Thanks for the heads up Lou!
;D ;D ;D ;D
I ordered too...just for the poster! I already have a copy reserved at Ear X-Tacy!
I ordered as well....sweet deal......any idea when items will ship?
Thanks for the link,I ordered too.I like that paypal easy ordering.
Thanks for the info.
Made an order, shipping was no more for Japan? Hope I still get it...
I just got my preorder of the Okonokos DVD concert film(not from Lou's) in the mail...I can't believe it! Guess what I am doing tonight? ;D

Wow, thanks for the Audio rip!! I doubt I'll be able to get my hand on this DVD, so being able to hear it totally makes up for it!! I'm lookin forward to getting the Okonokos DVD on Tuesday. This band is Amazing!! ;D
Yeeeefrickin'haw! Just got my phone call from Ear x-tacy and they have my OKONOKOS DVD w/ Bonus Acoustic Chorale DVD packed and shipping out today! *breaks into face splitting grin* ;D
okay, does anyone know if this bonus DVD is being sold at other independent stores in the country OTHER THAN Ear-X-Tacy?
I called Bart's in Boulder, CO and they have no idea what I'm talking about. I called Twist & Shout in Denver and they haven't even gotten Okonokos yet so they have no idea about a bonus DVD.
Anyone got answers? Just want to make sure i get my hands on an Acoustic Chorale. Thanks ;D
waterloo here in austin is still awaiting their shipment of the bonus DVD and have to do a special order card for you. they at least knew what i was talking about.....
For those in the Seattle area, the Queen Anne Easy St. had plenty of these. Just picked mine up.
Rock on.
Anyone know the story on Lou's yet? I ordered on Friday and need them to ship it ASAP!! I may have to go out and buy another copy if it's going to take very long. Waiting sucks. :)

Did anyone get any kind of email confirmation from Lou's after they ordered their DVD? I got an email from paypal saying that my CC had been charged but nothing from Lou's...
Does anyone have any idea if this will be available at any upcoming shows?
"I called Bart's in Boulder, CO and they have no idea what I'm talking about. I called Twist & Shout in Denver and they haven't even gotten Okonokos yet so they have no idea about a bonus DVD."
I called Independant Records in Denver (Colfax & Ogden) and they said they have it. That store was also on the list of stores that is supposed to include the Acoustic Chorale.
I got the DVD (Detroit metro area), but no Acoustic Chorale. They said to bring my receipt back sometime soon and they'll give me one if they have it. Dude said, "Yeah, we got a call about that earlier. For some reason it hasn't come in yet..."
Hopefully they'll get it.
Now...to watch the DVD. ;D

are_you_in_athens????
I'm in Michigan. How's your luck with getting one going, NikkOginO? Did you hear a similar story?
I didn't get anything via e-mail from Lou's; e-mail from paypal I received, however. Hopefully they ship the orders out this week.
I hope you guys can get the dvd, if not and it goes away and is cool to share, I can make copies... ;D
I got it.

so I went to Twist & Shout and they did not receive the DVD at all today. I asked about the Acoustic Chorale and no one really knew. So I figured it was not happening tonight and I shopped around, listend to a bunch of records...as I was leaving the store I happenened to walk by the listening station in the corner and noticed they had the Okonokos CD on sale....I picked one up and low and behold, the Acoustic Chorale DVD is attached to it via rubber band. So I asked the guy what was up, if they were going to give this away with the DVD, he said he had no idea. So I say, "I happen a little bit obsessed with this band, and I came down here from Boulder just to get this Acoustic thing....." and much to my suprise, he says, "Just take it. Don't tell anyone I gave it to you."
So I just popped it in, and it rocks. Thank you, once again, Twist & Shout.
please... someone upload this bonus dvd somewhere (the video)
i bought Okonokos but doesn't come with Acoustic Chorale.
Didn't you all see the link for Lou's. Call them. Order it. Pay with Paypal or credit card. Recieve said bonus DVD and enjoy. Seems pretty simple really.
has anyone in the philly area found the bounus dvd?

Wasn't that just for preorders only? I ordered mine last friday.Anybody get there's yet from Lou's? Was wondering when he shipped them.
I havent been able to find one in toronto at all....
Do you think someone could put a bit torrent of the dvd up somewhere?
I would cry tears of joy.....
I think this is fair game to put up now. ;D
If not may the modabot CC strike it from the records...

i ordered a copy from lou's last week....so it should be arriving this week. i ordered just for the poster so i will be posting the DVD and Acoustic Chorale together on e-bay whenever i receive.
i will only sell it for what i paid for it (and probably at a discount anyway)....i don't want to keep this out of the hands of true fans like myself! i will update with more info when it arrives and is posted on e-bay!
Kory, thanks a lot. Much appreciated. :)
Has anyone tried to call Lou's about their order? It always goes to some recording with some moron telling the hours and then saying "we don't answer the phone during business hours." What????????? Isn't then when you should answer the phone. So basically we never know when we will get our dvd. Has anyone gotten it yet?
I emailed them, no reply :-/
Hopefully Lou didn't rip us off.
I called last night at about 6:00 PM California time and talked to a guy. He said the shipping department takes off at 4:00 and to call back during the day.
Thanks for the upload Kory!
Did I see Road-Rabbits :o 8) :o 8) :o
Just spoke with Lou's and they said all of the Okonokos orders shipped out on Tuesday via first class mail (USPS). Please come soon!!!
QuoteJust spoke with Lou's and they said all of the Okonokos orders shipped out on Tuesday via first class mail (USPS). Please come soon!!!
Some must have shipped out either friday or monday because mine was waiting for me when I came home this afternoon and I live in Virginia,so no way it got here in 2 days from CA.It comes in a white box that looks like it was made to ship Vinyl records in.The poster,DVD,and Acoustic Chorale DVD were all in it...yay!
I haven't watched it yet(the AC DVD),will report back tonight after I get the chance to view it.

I live near Altoona. Cresson to be exact. I moved up here roughly two an a half years ago.
I got my package TODAY!!!!! I forced my self to put the DVDs aside until I get home from work tonight. The first biscuit I'm putting in is Acoustic Chorale baby! Work is gonna fly by for a change ;D
Got mine from Lou's today and can't wait to watch it tonight. I should have had it yesterday but someone was blocking my mailbox so the mail carrier refused to deliver. Pissed I was.

That is a real pisser,happened to me awhile back on same day as I was getting an important music package.
I love this DVD...they def should have included "Hell" on the Okonokos DVD but I won't complain no more since I got it anyways.Jim plays acoustic on all tracks.Very nice addition to the DVD.Where to Begin is my fav track next to "Hell".
THANK YOU for posting the Lou's Link. I got it just a few days after ordering :)
you know what, im actually quite pleased this DVD was released as it's own litte entity. what a beautiful 28 minutes.
a couple of observations...
1.) i had completely forgotten how beautiful where to begin is. jim doing his best harvest moon-type Neil Young.
2.) Carl's performance on Strangulation is the best thing on either DVD. god when he hits those lower notes with the slide. aweeeesome. i dont know why, but i was expecting that to be jim solo, so to hear the full band kick in was tremendous.
3.) At Dawn is a brilliant little tune, but we all knew that.
overall just a great companion to Okonokos. i genuinely hope everyone can get a chance to watch this...
damn, i might like this better than the actual oknokos dvd
Some of these are already showing up on ebay,bids were up to 28 bucks on one of them I saw.Yikes!
$28 is ridiculous...
What with shipping to Japan & paying a good man for his troubles (although he did offer to do it for free) mine cost a lot more than that. Not seen it yet but I'm sure it's worth every penny! :)
I might end up with 2 if Lous has sent me one (credit card charged, no reply to my emails...) :-/

They will get it to you.....everyone else on here (including me) has gotten theirs from lous. Yeah, they are horrible at responding, answering phones, etc.
I hope so Nikkogino. The strange thing was the handling & shipping was no more for Japan, which suggests they hadn't accounted for or weren't planning on taking overseas orders?
Anyway, I'll wait & see :)
There are about 4 or 5 Acoustic Chorale's up on eBay now. I would say this is your best chance to get an actual copy at a reasonable price. I doubt there will ever be 4 or 5 available at the same time so prices should stay reasonable. The one that is up first is at $28 but it hasn't moved since the other have been put up.

I just got one that had a Buy It Now on it. I couldn't resist. With shipping and handling it came to 32. Theres still a few days left on that one for 28 and I'd imagine it will still go up.
I truly hope there's a few for sale at the Charleston show, or else I'll be scrounging pennies and hitting ebay.
GOT MINE!!! (nothing from Lous yet)
Thanks goes to AJ (Sherpa) who was kind enough to pick me up a copy & send it out to Japan.
Can't wait to watch both DVDs ;D ;D ;D
Spent the weekend basking in the glory that is "I Think I'm Going To Hell" THIS SONG OWNS THE WHOLE CONCERT!!!!!!!
Yer that was one of the stand-outs when I saw them in London. Carl is fucking amazing!!!
all,
i just went to good records here in dallas, tx and got mine. They had about 15 of them left. They have an ecommerce site, but I would call to make sure that you get the DVD.
Here is a link to the listing, and they even mention the bonus DVD in the listing.....

Please dont overpay on ebay.
t.o.p
Shit....I just dropped $30 bucks for this thing despite having already watched it. The avi rip has some sync problems...damn this band for making me buy shit on ebay.....damn it
Yeah it is a true addiction...
QuoteYeah it is a true addiction...
I'd rather have given the band my money.
Just got an email from paypal informing me that I will get a full refund with this note from Lou's:
"Sorry for the delay but this was not meant for international sale. We apologize for the inconvience."
Good thing I got my copy from a friend :)
Does anyone know what that little thing jim plays during sooner is called, I've never seen one of those before?
That would be an Omnichord, made by Suzuki.
(http://www.mymorningjacket.com/Gallery/2005/_nashville100805-04.jpg)
This one would be the System 2 (OM84). Apparently he has come into possession of a black one now, because the minor keys on the white one were broken.
you can find a lot out about them here:
http://www.suzukimusic.co.uk/omnichord/suzuki_omnichord.htm
On the white one you just "Imagine" a minor note when you feel ike there should "BE" a minor note............
hahahaha, please tell me this is a jim james quote...
just got mine from EarX-tacy's online site......i e-mailed the manager about availability and he said they still have some left, but you should really call first. but Okonokos was on sale for 13.99!!
not bad!

Just seeing the dvd tonight and this song rules the day. There are no words.....:D :D
i Just got this from Lou's a little while ago and watched last night. i was totally floored.. Jeebus is this amazing! i don't know what else to say... but thank you to MMJ for this gift!!!!
:D ;D :D ;D :D
That pretty much says it all...
i like this better than Okonokos.
Strangulation is intense.
Where to Begin is beautiful.
wow.
Alright, I really need this. I finally have a little extra cash - Is there any kicking around somewhere other than ebay?
I just realized that Ear Xtacy was still holding a copy of OKONOKOS with the Acoustic Chorale DVD. I am going to give them a call in about 5 minutes 11:45 central time and tell them to let someone else have it. So if you still want it, call them as quick as possible. (502)452-1799
Just got off the phone with Ear Xtacy. They said that so many people were asking for it that the pressed some more copies and they have plenty of them now! Give them a call and they will ship it to you! See number above.
(Should I be getting a commission for this ;))

Oh man, you're a godsend. Is there any cost?

Were you told that we have to buy Okonokos in order to get it or might we be able to get it without purchasing Okonokos (again, in my case)?
I'm wondering because I called and was told I had to buy Okonokos for it.
I can't wait to receive the one I ordered from Ebay! After buying okonokos with a Gift Card, paying $27 for this DVD plus a poster was a bargain! ;D

I didn't ask them actually I assumed you had to buy the whole thing. But the whole thing was I think less than 20 bucks and I bet you could get almost all of that for the DVD on ebay if you already have it. Or, what better way to get a friend a cheap (and wonderful) gift. (He/She doesn't have to know you got the special bonus. I certainly won't tell. ;))
I ordered Okonokos from Amazon a few days ago before I knew about the bonus acoustic DVD. I'm assuming it won't come with the bonus DVD, right?
Does anyone know of any sites (besides eBay) I can purchase just the bonus DVD from?
Would anyone mind reposting the DVD rip since the SendSpace link has expired?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Just got my eBay copy
Strangulation was worth the $25.
Got mine from ebay as well and was it ever worth it.
The tracks seem much more intimate and raw.
Favorites are;
strangulation
where to begin
think I'm goin to hell
I hope they release all the footage someday because it's alllll ggggooooooodddddd!!!!
What does Jim say just before Strangulation?
Samsonite?
Ordered mine today from Ear X-Tacy. I'm so excited.
QuoteSamsonite?
Yeah... there was some discussion on that somewhere around here... most seemed to agree it was indeed "Samsonnniiiteeee"...
QuoteOrdered mine today from Ear X-Tacy. I'm so excited.
I was in there yesterday (picking up hold steady tickets, yea!) and they still had the signs up saying the bonus was still included with the dvd purchase. If I were these people paying 15-20 bucks on ebay I'd rather get another copy of the dvd as well and not help out the ebay fucks that seem to have a ton of copies... There's one person I've seen sell 8 or 9 of them...
I'm still waiting for my copy from Ebay. i was told by the seller, it was sent last Monday. I was expecting to get it by today, but no. :( I hope I get it by this coming Monday.
Can somebody re-upload that DVD-rip? I would love that.

That's awesome! Rarely does a youtube clip have such good sound. Great effin' jam session. Jim rules! Those wonderful boots are made for rawking! (It's mislabeled Dondante and is actually the entire Lay Low outro jam)
Thanks so much for putting this up! :)
My Okonokos DVD and Acoustic Chorale today came from Ear X-tacy today.
Acoustic Chorale might be the best thing my eyes have witnessed in a long time. Strangulation is unbelievable.
I got mine from Easy Street a few weeks ago. I just checked the site and the banner for the Acoustic Chorale DVD is still up on the home page, so I assume that means they still have it.
Heres the link:
http://www.buymusichere.net/stores/easystreet/enter.html
It seems my excitement/impatience with getting this has gotten the best of me! I just received a copy of the Acoustic Chorale DVD in the mail today! When I asked the guy I originally ordered it from when i might be getting it, he said he could send me another one by First Class Mail. Well, he did! So, that means when I get the other one with the poster and the one I ordered the other night, I'll have 3 copies! I just notified the most recent seller about possibly cancelling the order, we'll see what happens. If I end up getting it anyway, I can always pass one onto a friend, and the other can go to one of you fine folks here. :) I guess i should've waited...oh well! I'm just happy to finally have a copy! it's SO much nicer to blast through the TV. 8-)
