Is anyone else planning to pickup this CD/DVD when it is released tomorrow? I was reading about the recording session in the church the original album was recorded in. Lots of good talent joined them for this including Ryan Adams, Natalie Merchant. I'm looking forward to this one!

I've been a Cowboy Junkies fan since I saw them live at the Maintenance Shop at the Union at Iowa State University back in about 1988. It was a very intimate live show, with the band pretty much setting in the middle of the audience. They sang and played until they about dropped. Some friends of mine and I had a several hour conversation with them after the show, lasting long into the next morning.

    Sounds interesting as I have a fan club only "bootleg" of Sheryl Crow live at the Trinity Church. She did a whole acoustic set and it sounds incredible. The acoustics in the church are supposed to be excellent.

    Well, I enjoy a few cuts on Trinity Sessions -- particularly the opener, Mining for Gold... but overall it is kind of soporific, isn't it?

    I like Lay it Down much better, FWIW.
