The Man,I have to agree with everyone else, an acoustic album/dvd would be awesome.In the meantime though, are you guys recording your shows from the soundboard every night or any night for that matter?I'm sure I'm not alone on this, but it would be completely awesome for you guys to start uploading your live shows, or atleast one or two so everyone can learn and understand how unbelievably well you guys are able to translate the material from the albums into your live show.As of now there are only two bootlegs that I can find on the internet, both decent sounding.Also, maybe there can be a place on the website here to post reviews of previous shows, or a place to upload setlists from night to night. There seems to be enough traffic coming through this website now that if you gave more options for fans to communicate we can set up meet-ups, post pictures, videos, etc.Or if you don't want to release any bootlegs from the live shows, would you guys be ok with tapers coming to your shows to record, then posting them up here on the forum? Having the bootlegs can only strengthen the fan base and get people more involved. Just a thought.You guys better be playing Never Pleased when you get to the states.Then lastly, are you guys going to have a trumpet player on the road with you? That would be so choice, I (along with everyone else) highly recommend it.Come to Cincinnati ! There is a huge fan base here waiting to get rocked out. Dear Portugal. The Man,

I have to agree with everyone else, an acoustic album/dvd would be awesome.

In the meantime though, are you guys recording your shows from the soundboard every night or any night for that matter?

I’m sure I’m not alone on this, but it would be completely awesome for you guys to start uploading your live shows, or atleast one or two so
everyone can learn and understand how unbelievably well you guys are able to translate the material from the albums into your live show.

As of now there are only two bootlegs that I can find on the internet, both decent sounding.

You guys better be playing Never Pleased when you get to the states.

I agree with what others are saying, an acoustic album would be awesome. Good luck on everything and I can't wait to see you the night before 21'st Nov. 7'th!

I love the videos. I am really bummed though. You guys are coming to Rochester (NY) on November 4th, and I would really love to go, but I can't make it. It's election day after all! I'm only using that as an excuse because I actually can't get a ride. Rochester is an hour and a half from where I'm at. I saw you guys about a year or so ago in Troy(NY). It was one of the greatest concerts I've ever seen. You, Tera Melos, The Fall of Troy. How could it get better? I hope to make your show on the 4th. I love the new CD. I love the videos.
