Talk:Phish: Live in Brooklyn

VOTE on chronolgy of Live in Brooklyn
Looking through the history, it seems that for a long long time, live albums were listed chronologically based on the date of the concert. This makes much more sense it seems. In fact, The White Tape is a perfect example. It might not have been released until 1998, but clearly it makes sense to list it as the first studio album because it was recorded in 1986. Yet, with live albums, it really jumbles up the discography by having a 1995 concert listed as coming after Undermind. It would be different if it was a LIVE COMPILATION or something, but this is a live album recorded in a certain era, and should be listed int he order of that era.

Please vote here as to whether live albums should be listed in order of CONCERT DATE, or RELEASE DATE.

Release Date. It's like listing Star Wars episodes I-III before IV-VI. It is not a chronology of shows, but a chronology of albums. JEMP Records didn't even exist until late 2005.

Merge both Brooklyn Pages
I believe that we don't need seperate pages for the Brooklyn DVD and CD. In fact, the CD has been promoted as a "soundtrack", as if its an ancillary item. If nobody else votes on this by Saturday, I will merge the pages myself.

Weak Oppose. I think it makes sense to have different articles for different media, but some of the information at what is currently the CD article (Phish: Live in Brooklyn) should be moved to the DVD article (Phish: Live in Brooklyn (DVD)). For example, the section on "Bonus material" applies to the DVDs, not the CD set (side note: included bonus footage from 6/18/06 is not mentioned). Also, the (separate) "Bonus disc" is no longer available, but as far as I know, it was only available with pre-orders of the DVD from Phish Dry Goods (the only source I have to confirm this is a promotional e-mail I received). For these reasons, I'd suggest moving only those two sections from the CD article to the DVD article, and renaming (moving) Phish: Live in Brooklyn to Phish: Live in Brooklyn (CD) (also possibly giving the non-parenthetic title to the DVD article). If either article is given a parenthetic title, it should be the soundtrack, not the movie, as the DVD includes material not found on the CD, yet the CD's entire content is included on the DVD. Whatever happens, unless Phish: Live in Brooklyn becomes the umbrella article discussing both, Template:Phish requires an edit, as both the CD and DVD links point there.
