The band’s Live At The Fillmore 1997 is available for pre-sale and will be released on November 25. There will be five different versions, from the 2-CD set for $19.99 to the 6-LP Uber Deluxe set for $174.98. I landed in the middle and pre-ordered the 4-CD set for $59.98. In addition to 58 tracks on the CDs, it comes with a 32-page booklet, 3 custom guitar picks, a replica All Access laminate, and an embroidered patch. Each version includes some fascinating cover versions, along with the band’s own material.
