Definitely worth seeing.

Hmmm...I missed that part. Will have to stick it in tonight and look for it.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that. The package had the WEWH and MBD t-shirts, Spittle and Phlegm, and LITTLE, big. Now I just gotta wait for 10 Song by Adam Again!!

Yeah, I did some e-baying a few years back. Was able to get "Kissers and Killers" on CD (the only Choir CD I didn't own--and I had to own everyone.) I also picked up a copy of "Wide Eyed Wonder" for a friend for Christmas. He was desperately looking for the CD in stores everywhere to no avail. I've also picked up a number of other collector type CDs on e-bay. Mainly I look for TST/DA/SE/LD stuff, and I have it all now. But e-bay rocks.

I'd seen the video before (have it on VHS), but had to get it on DVD (As a collector.) I've still not watched all of it, but I did play part of it for a friend. He now thinks I'm weirder than he originally thought. 
I think concert footage would have been a great extra.

So why don't the Eddies tour? Why don't they do another album? Zoom Daddy was a GREAT album. There's no reason why they shouldn't continue to do stuff and then TOUR!!!!

I agree, I think that MBD is truly a masterpiece. It is up there with their best works and stands out to me as also being timeless. Each time I listen to it a diferent tune moves me nearly to tears. I know I'm an old softy, but it really does. If Avacado Faultline and MBD are any indication then I think Terry's writting gets better with each new CD. WOW

So Lucy/Jonny, where in Illinois are you? I've lived in northern, southern, and central Illinois. Just wondering.

1st disc had 20 tracks, and
2nd disc had 3 tracks.

Kind of like the Little Red Riding Hood re-release?

Okay, so the rhythm is off. But it's for the Eddies, so don't expect perfection!

I brought "LITTLE, big" into work so I could listen to it a zillion more times. Track #6 "maMa'S in tHe DesErT, DAddy'S in thE SKy" is really growing on my and is now a close third to #2 "MOllyiS a MetApHoR." #4 ("oh, SWeeT CoMpaNion") is still the undesputed classic on the EP.
Tracks #1 and #3 remind of TST's earlier work. Not to say that I don't like his old style, but "John Wayne" was my favorite TST album (although I love the imagery and music of "A Briefing for the Ascent"--but musically prefer the style of "John Wayne.") I don't see any Avacado Faultline in this EP.
But the more and more I listen, the more and more I like!

For three tracks?

Uh, sure. Last time I checked, a CD has enough space to fit three tracks (unless they are super long tracks.) So don't see why not.

I must speak up at this point. For me, Mr B's Dream wasn't enjoyable on the first listen throught. I thought that maybe it would be like Bibleland where at first listen, it sounded loud and harsh but I grew to love it. Mr. B's Dream is good but I'm surprised at how everyone is raving about it. Terry's done better stuff (most recently, Hats).
Maybe it's the way they've crammed the songs together with no real pause to let you digest it. Maybe it was my long expectation brought down to earth by the actual product. But Mr B's Dream didn't grab me.
Oh, and I'm no TST newbie. If Terry burped on a CD I would buy it (and I think I did. Neverhood? Sacred Cows?) so that my collection would be complete and I would not miss out on whatever new he came out with.

I agree. MBD didn't grab me at first (except for "The Author of the Story.") I had to listen to the album several times before I started to like it and then love it and then need it. I think the lack of pauses makes it difficult at first to listen to. Harder to process. But it makes it like mood music, I like "seemless albums" like the European release of BT's "Movement in Still Life" and several other albums I can't remember titles of now.
As for buying whatever from Terry, I'm right there with you. By and large, TST is very consistent and puts out great stuff (have you heard "Little, Big" yet?), but there are a few that get listened to rarely (e.g. Sacred Cows, Farm Beetles, etc.) But it is the novelty and I am a collector.

It's all supply and demand. There's not as big a demand for CCM. If CCM groups sold as many CDs as Aerosmith, Britney Spears, and the Backstreet Boys, the cost of production and marketing and all would be less and bring the cost down.

Just got my package today with the t-shirts, DVD, and "Little, Big." I'm on the second listen of the album. "Molly is a Metaphor" (#2) is such a cute song for his cat and musically it's enjoyable and lyrically thought-provoking. The real gem of the six is #4 "Oh, Sweet Companion" (the song for his wife--each track is dedicated to someone or a group of people.) "Oh, Sweet Companion" is musically mature (with great guitar) and the lyrics just make you want to cry or fall in love or both.
I think "Oh, Sweet Companion" for me may come in second as my favorite TST song (the first being "You Lay Down.")
The other songs I'll need to here a few more times to see how they grow on me.
I'll be interested to hear what others think.
