So are these examples from an - until now - unreleased source? Are they better sounding than what we are used to already?

There are different sources for these concerts, i didn't compared with all of them and the files doesn't mention the source.

They sound excellent but, again, this is a bonus, the item is the mini guitar replica. The content of the bonus is not what matters really.
You might get lucky, now and then

That's your opinion, others take a different view. Frankly I see a lot more questions from people about the music than the model, suggesting the music matters more to a lot of people.

And my opinion is that they are wrong. A product that includes other items, it's still a main product with other items that are not the main product but part of the package.

If part of the package would be better or more interesting than the main product, it won't be part of the package but the main product itself.

I see it very logical, but that's me.

Of course I understand everyone dreams about unreleased stuff being released in any way but, again, if that happens, logical says it would be the main product, not part of the package of a main product.

If you are not interested in the guitar, don't buy it for the usb. That's MY opinion.

Yeah, and others have a different opinion.

If the extra stuff wasn't a factor before people decided to purchase, it wouldn't be included.

These are companies selling these things, and companies are interested in profit. Any additional items increase cost which means less profit. If they thought people would buy anyway without the extra stuff it wouldn't be included.

You are paying for the entire package, not just the guitar.

At any rate it is a sh*tty way to treat fans. If indeed these recordings, although being well-known to the fan community, have been professionally processed and now have a lot better quality, fans should be able to get hold of them without having to buy expensive trinkets.

They have not been professionailly processed in a "studio recording from a record company" like any official release would be treated, so you are not losing nothing. It sounds excellent, as probably sounds the best sources of Sydney, Wembley and San Antonio we already have, maybe slighlty better but not that noticiable at all.

You can count me in with you on that take.

Lets make a poll.

Lets make a poll.

It is indeed the whole package what you are paying for, but, what's the name of the product?

If they would mix from their own sources and professionally any DS or MK concert with the intention of being the main interest, they will release it as the main product, maybe with its own bonus things, in a package, but the product will be named after the concert.

Nevermind.

You never left a chance to make clear you are right, don't you?

Ok, waiting for the next one.

Never said I was right, just giving my OPINION that there was no need for a poll because you are the only person taking that view. But anyone is free to create a poll, knock yourselves out...

I think actually I, for one – and for once – share Julio's view.


But, please, no poll. Let's settle this like men in 2022: By bickering on the internet.

The model guitar is over priced tat so the only thing of interest here are the recordings.
They could make £15 a download with each show so they would easily make more from those than the guitar.
I'm amazed that MK/DS management are leaving so much money on the table-crazy business sense!
Instead of the recordings the fans get another two fingers(MK is old school) for Christmas :disbelief
