So I own the initial run of digital chain sourced Dicks Picks on vinyl. I purchased the first new Norman release last year and quite honestly was underwhelmed with the difference between the digital cut and the OG remastered analog cut. Not sure if it was the remastering that caused my lackluster feeling or just not enough of an improvement but it was an expensive gamble for a record set that I don't visit often so with that in mind and owning a copy I'm happy enough with , I passed on this one. At some point, I have to tell myself that I'm buying the same music over n over with sometimes minimal improvements
Now, in other circumstances, the difference between the cutting chains is a lot more obvious or pays larger dividends, making the investment worthwhile.
I received mine and anxious to give it a listen. Memories of almost 40 years ago. I'm very happy to get both full shows but it's unfortunate the Scarlet -Eyes-//GDTR is split up. That transition was a very cool moment in GD music.
The transition between Eyes and GDTR is split over discs one and two, and the transition isn't a clean one. It fades out at the end of CD 1 with the opening riff of GDTR, but then CD 2 begins with a fade in of the last few bars of Eyes (again). I rip my CDs to FLACs and save them to a hard drive as soon as I get them, and then stream them from there, so I might need to do an edit to get that transition straightened out out.

You're right I'm not sure he was involved at all but either way, wasn't satisfied with minimal improvement on the reissue

He did. The new #2 vinyl
He did. The new #2 vinyl release is remastered for vinyl from the master tapes
As CD (digital master) was the intended dicks picks set format back in 94/95;
The fir$t vinyl release on brookvale records was cut from the same digital files as the CD set.
fish's ears tell him the sonic differences between the two formats he owns in a similar situation are negligible
