Nothing live. Just CD with the bonus tracks.

and you're sure its actually the RSD release, and not just, the deluxe version with album art that was already released a while ago?

Go to eBay and type "Gaslight Anthem RSD" and that's what I got. Can't post a link because I'm a new member. Maybe there is another??

It appears this ended up being the same super deluxe version with the "photo book" that was $60 last year. The cover looks the same, so I'm assuming the content is as well. Not really an exclusive RSD release when it's been available via the band's website. I'm guessing someone realized they had a shitload of these that weren't selling and repurposed them for RSD.

Anyways, no dvd, no live cd. Underwhelming to say the least.

Agreed.

I feel badly for the people who bought it as a $60 package

It's worth mentioning that the official RSD site still lists this as including a live concert cd. I imagine there are going to be some disappointed people when they actually open it.

So to sum up- it's been marketed as a live CD (and still is in some places) but actually it's just the same thing that was sold last year when the record was released?

Exactly.

OK. My little brain was getting confused for a minute there.

It's too bad they didn't have something more unique to offer.

I am sure people would be happy if they just sold a DVD of the T5 show that was broadcast

I know I would!! Or at least some kind of FREE audio download of a concert.

Oh, whoops. Literally bought this deluxe thing 10 minutes ago after checking the RSD site to see what was in it. I didn't buy this last year, so its new to me, and $20 isn't so bad, but to advertise live stuff and not provide is pretty sucky.

I keep trying to get a response from mercury records via tweets and Facebook messages but no one will respond.
