Tour edition update
Edel has released an updated tracklist for the Now what?! tour edition. The second CD (a.k.a. Live Tapes) portion is now:
- Strange Kind Of Woman
- Hard Loving Man
- Vincent Price
- Contact Lost
- All The Time in The World
- No One Came
- Bodyline
- Perfect Strangers
- Above And Beyond
- Lazy
- Black Night
- Smoke On The Water
Live tracks were recorded in Rome on July 22, Milan on July 21, Gävle on August 10, and Aalborg on August 9 this year.
The double album will be released November 29 in continental Europe, December 2 in the UK, and some time in 2014 in the US. It will have a price “which is lower than the usual price for any new stand-alone live release”. There also will be a double vinyl edition and digital, with the latter available both bundled with the studio album or as a standalone live release.
Thanks to BraveWords for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Having watched them in Manchester on the 12th Oct I look forward to it but a full show on Blu-Ray would be more appreciated(not another Montreux show though), more shows from reunion and early Morse era would also be appreciated, still waiting for the Wacken concert in 3D to appear, at least I have my first Xmas present!
October 25th, 2013 at 16:41I hate those cut and paste live album. How can you start a show with Strange Kind of Woman??????
October 26th, 2013 at 08:32Am I correct in saying that Apres Vous & Hell To Pay are the other 2 songs from Now What?! performed live not included here?!

You forgot Uncommon Man which is also played live and isn’t included on this live release, a shame that 3 of these extremely well performed songs aren’t included on this tour edition release, not enough new songs for me on this release to buy the live album.
A big mistake from Edel records in my opinion.
Chears,

I wouldn’t mind the “cut-and-paste” approach if the running order included a proper set opener, followed by the best versions of as many of the new songs as possible, followed by an encore or two to properly close the disc. Between-song banter should be preserved as much as possible to create the illusion of a real concert. “More of the same” should be kept to a minimum for a “tour edition”.
October 28th, 2013 at 02:27An album or DVD/Blu-Ray that resembles a real concert from the Now What tour will undoubtedly follow (not including the Wacken disc, which is a concert from the summer tour). This is just a filler release (and also based on the summer tour) where they use the most appropriate cuts that are available from a limited number of gigs. Just stick it in Shuffle and enjoy.
October 29th, 2013 at 11:56#4. You are correct Sir. Thanks.
October 29th, 2013 at 18:58Does anyone know what the Now What?! box set available to pre-order from Amazon.co.uk includes?
October 30th, 2013 at 10:39So USA will have different bonus disc?
November 6th, 2013 at 22:25Bankrupcy for myself…
Such actions really, really discourages me to buy this album…
