How much was the total. Does FYE come up the same price? Or is the shipping higher?

It's so inexpensive, anyway. It looks like you did a fine shopping job.

Which show is this from, does it say on the album. Is it the Filmore?

I have to say that every time I listen to it I'm amazed at how good it is. I got the one with the wrong tracklisting and a co-worker asked me why I had opened it. I had only one answer...it's Tom Petty and I wanted to listen to it.

^ That's why I bought two!

Here is a review by Doug Collette from Glide Magazine:

When is a reinvention not a reinvention? It can happen when you are Tom Petty and you act on the impulse to reform the band you fronted prior to becoming the rock icon you are now.

Mudcrutch is one of the superlative rock records of 2008, satisfying on its own terms to be sure, but as with all such superior work, no matter the musical genre, more than enough to make any listener want to see the band live. Petty and co did do some shows in earlier the year but they were confined to their virtual backyard in California, so how welcome is this Extended Play Live EP?

It’s only twenty-seven plus minutes, but it’s enough to allow to Mudcrutch reaffirm the quintet didn't piece it together in the studio. Listen to the long flowing likes of "Crystal River," and understand the empathetic guitar relationship between Heartbreaker Mike Campbell and Mudcrutcher Tom Leadon. The songs allows both of them to play cleanly or adorned with effects, continuously moving deeper into a gigantic swirl, as befits the song title, that extends close to fifteen minutes.

Positioned as something of an encore in this truncated setlist, that cut appears after the barroom honky-tonk of "The Wrong Thing to Do," as clean and firm a kiss-off as Tom Petty's ever issued (except perhaps the one he offered his record label on price hikes back in 1981): "it's the wrong thing to do but I don't care." Mike Campbell sounds like he's having as much of a lark screeching along the strings of his electric guitar as Benmont Tench dancing along the piano keys with raw, barrelhouse abandon.

Petty borrows from himself for "Bootleg Flyer," a composite of any number of his earliest and rootsiest songs, but the bass runs he takes more than compensate: returning to this instrument necessitates some familiar touch point.

Given the retro graphics, not to mention old-school concept of this item, it might've been cooler, not to mention less crass, for the disc to come enclosed in a sleeve within the digi-pak, one which might've featured more than advertisements for Mudcrutch and TP/Heartbreakers merch (especially given the full-fledged Mudcrutch website). But that's as easy to dispose of, as it is to pledge keeping this EP, especially if it all eventually leads to more Mudcrutch in the studio and on stage.

Just got my LP from Amazon, and I can't wait to listin! Thank god they relisted it, for awhile it wasn't available(that was a close one).

Has anybody's Amazon-bought VINYL EP cover had the same defect I've been finding in Northern California record store copies? The defect is a thin vertical indented line or gouge on the front of the VINYL EP cover that starts at the bottom edge and proceeds up right through Tom Petty's picture. On other copies, the line is further to the right, going through Tom Leadon's picture. EVERY copy I've seen (in two different record stores) has had this defect. The gouge is under the shrink wrap indicating this damage occurred during the manufacturing of the covers.
Anyone else noticed this defect on their cover?

My EP arrived Sat. and after listening to the very first few notes of "The Wrong Thing to Do" the quote that came to my mind was this one from Denise's daughter:

quote:

"It's great. I didn't know it would be so thrilling." Brett, age 6.

I almost didn't order it, because I have the Mudcrutch CD, but Mudcrutch live is an entirely different experience. This band just HAS to do more live shows!

Thrilling indeed! LOL I really hope they do more live shows and I hope I am able to go to one (or more) again.

I absolutely agree. I have both and am really enjoying the EP disc.

Please MUDCRUTCH, consider a future concert tour. Your live performances are great.

I got a kick out of a t-shirt that one of the roadies was wearing at a TPATH concert this past summer. It stated "MUDCRUTCH World Tour - 2008" (even though all the concerts played were in California). Hopefully that will be addressed in the future.

^They were being silly about the world tour. I went to a few shows. Felt like a world tour to me. lol

Here's the shirt.

I meant to pick one up. Mudcrutch for President that Relic got as a prize was way cool.

I should say I think they were being silly about saying World Tour.

Maybe it is wishful or positive thinking. You never know....

Ouch - just got the Live EP - I liked the album OK, but the songs on the EP are superior. Would luv to see a complete live album.

I really think it would be cool if they would take Mudcrutch on the road and not super advertise it so we could see them at local Filmores and the like.

Then they can release a new LP. Now wouldn't that be grand!

I guess there aren't lp's there are ep's. I don't know.

I just heard High School Confidential on XM. Good good memories.

I guess I'd better get this. Wow those shows were almost a year ago now.

Come on guys tour down south soon....
