the 30th anniversary year for the band - expectations vs. happened so far

[japanesebaby]

anybody else getting a bit bored/disappointed that it's the 30th anniversary year for the band and so far there hasn't really been anything special to really celebrate this?
of course there still some time left but let's face it it's starting to run out. if there's going to be anything happening this year, at least  one could have expected to hear some news by now. i don't mean live shows because there probably won't be any more, but at least some special releases or something. and for the record, to me the paris dvd doesn't really count, should it get released next/even during this year. that looks too much like just a re-run/re-release of the festival dvd and really isn't anything that would really celebrate the band's 30-year career the way they'd deserve.
how about the 'disintegration' deluxe version?
that prayer tour footage that robert talked about in that radio interview?
some surprises we don't know about (yet)?

at least so far i find the lack of any kind of news a bit of a downer as i was expecting something special for the anniversary year.
i wonder if the split with the mighty U might have messed up something that had been planned(?). or maybe i am just trying to find excuses here(?).

My guess, something will come out for the Christmas shopping season.  But yeah, it is a bit puzzling we haven't had any news regarding the Tim Pope project.  And I thought for sure we'd have a Disintegration deluxe this year for the 20th anniversary.  Then again, do I really want a remastered (distorted?) copy of Disintegration with bonus material such as Pirate Ships and some live stuff I already have?  :roll:

Yep, me too  :(

THAT would be great, something we don't expect

My guess, something will come out for the Christmas shopping season.

Let's hope for it

Let's PRAY for it!!!

you know, it doesn't have to be something special... just about anything would make me happy...

and they should hurry with that dvd release.

Well, this year and the first half of the next are pretty much lost because  we'd  know at least something is cooking...



I think the guys have to come back into form, think about the future first and then think about the past. I don't mind there's no nostalgic celebration because if you look at DM or U2 - they don't care for that either...

I just wish they make some good decisions about the future!

i know what you mean! that's pretty much what i meant. i'd be happy with anything. i don't care if it has anything to do with the anniversary or not..

i guess  you're better at being patient than i am
