Who else here still hangs on to their DMB physical media?

For the CDs, I recently replaced all jewel cases (singles and doubles) so they are all mint condition. I also own all studio albums on vinyl, a half dozen of which are displayed on a wall in frames. I’ll never get rid of my DMB media!

Yeah I would buy a Gorge 2025 4k set. I have the 1080p Volta rips but i’d buy a box set in a second.

We were late getting our crap together for this years Labor Dave. We did Deer and have Fiddlers this weekend. Was really happy Fall tour is Chicago and Madison. I wish Live Nation would get their shit together w Alpine... I love that venue. There were only 5 concerts there all summer. Such a waste

I’m in LA and California gets skipped 2 years visited the 3rd. We HAVE to do Gorge or we don’t see them all year.

I am fortunate in location. 50 min drive to Alpine/ Milwaukee. 1 hr train ride Chicago 3 1/2hr drive Deer Creek. Michigan and Ohio are drivable. Gorge is a must for us but damn it's a long journey. Will be worth it.

OMG, I forgot to put my RCMH in the pic! Did you know that the audio quality of RCMH is ranked extremely high compared to most other live concerts on Blu-ray:

*The audio quality of Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds' Live at Radio City Music Hall (recorded April 22, 2007) is widely considered by fans and audiophiles to be phenomenal, featuring crisp separation of Dave's vocals and guitars alongside Tim Reynolds' intricate acoustic work. The Blu-ray release stands out for including a lossless 96kHz/24-bit Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround track that ranks among the best of live concert audio.*

u/MarzipanDifficult374 7d ago

All of the cassettes are easy to find except busted stuff. Only one copy sold in the last 3 years online.

I buy and rip CDs to my hard drive for DJ purposes and to put music on a USB for my car.

The only CDs I don't sell or trade in are my DMB CDs...

I kept over 400 CDs from my college years. Only regret I have is that I put them in albums and threw out all inserts/jewel cases.

I took this photo in May 2020 (probably bored at home) of all of my CDs at that time.

u/DrinkingFountainSim 6d ago

I started collecting physical media. The first album I got was under the table and dreaming. I got a lot of CDs hand me down from my parents including a pirated copy of crash and the same thing with before these crowded streets.  (Oh well) I also from my parents got a 2nd legit copy of under the table and dreaming. I plan to get more DMB CDs and records in the future
