    c-eling They're made of light,We never would have guessed

    Thanks Morgan for the info, definitely not cheap for any of those sets :eek:
    Looks like the compact discs for the albums are the latest remasters. The vinyl looks to be getting a new one
    Overflow looks pretty cool!

    I can't find track lists for the discs in the Overflow set. You're right... they are very pricey. I'm not willing to take the plunge yet.

    I think you and I are pretty much set on b-sides etc :laugh:
    The DVD's may hold some gems. Hopefully the tracklist will be shown at some point

    I need most of their stuff on vinyl, but that's a lot to risk on a box set that we don't know much about, sound quality-wise. If it weren't for the remasters (far too loud), I'd take the plunge. It's awfully tempting, though!

    The ONLY thing I'm interested in with the new sets is the four CD's on "Overflow..." DVD's don't do it for me. Just give me the tunes!

    It's a lot to pay for 4 CDs! I hear you, though. You have to figure these things will all be released individually in a much less limited release format, at some point in the future.

    Midnight Oil announces massive 2017 reunion tour, 3 huge box sets with unreleased music

    Australian rock legends Midnight Oil today unveiled plans for their long-awaited reunion, announcing a world tour that will take the band to North and South America, Europe and the U.K., and New Zealand and Australia this year — plus the release of three different box sets, including one that promises 14 hours of previously unheard and rare material.

    The Oils’ 2017 world tour — the band’s first performances together since 2009’s Sound Relief concerts to benefit the victims of that year’s bushfires — opens April 25 with the first of five Brazilian concerts, followed by 13 dates in the U.S. and Canada in May and June. Then it’s off to the U.K. and Europe for 15 shows in June and July.

    After a break, the Oils resume with a pair of New Zealand concerts in September and 18 shows in their native Australia in October and November.

    See full dates below, and you can find on-sale information here.

    The band, at is press conference today in Sydney, also announced the release of three different box sets:

    • The Full Tank: Limited Super Deluxe Edition features 13 CDs and 1 DVD, and includes all 11 studio albums, two EPs and the “40,000 Watt RS” DVD containing all the band’s music videos.
    • The Vinyl Collection Deluxe Box Set features 13 LPs, including remastered editions of all 11 studio LPs, plus the band’s two 12-inch EPs on 180-gram vinyl.
    • The Over Flow Tank: Limited Super Deluxe DVD Box Set features 8 DVDs and 4CDs. The CDs include one disc of unreleased studio recordings, one disc of unavailable B-sides and rarities, plus 2 live discs drawn from “iconic shows across two decades.” The DVDs include “MTV Unplugged,” a live concert from South Africa’s Ellis Park, and “Only The Strong,” a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (all previously unreleased). Plus the films “Black Rain Falls,” “Oils On the Water,” “Saturday Night at the Capitol,” “Blackfella Whitefella” and a bonus DVD with rare and unseen live footage from six different concerts.
    The Oils, who split in 2002 but have reunited a handful of times, last year announced their intention to reform. The Midnight Oil reunion follows the release last year of frontman, and former politician, Peter Garrett’s solo debut, A Version of Now. Garrett has been performing in support of that record.

    I interviewed Rob Hurst the drummer in 2004 and he told me there was no intention to put out any unreleased music. What a difference 13 years can make.

    Precisely. I'm not springing for all the bells and whistles. I have all the albums and EP's. I just want what I haven't heard.
    I'm sure the Overflow discs will be exclusive material, but I'd like a comprehensive collection of b-sides. I never chased all of those.

    Webster Hall May 13. I'm in.

    Definitely getting the overflow box (though I have about half the content, the other half is worth it). I may get the vinyl box if the mastering is good. I have all the original CDs so all set there, but I only have about half their stuff on vinyl.

    Still really hoping they record a new album too.

    Ash76 Wait actually yeah no

    That all looks great but $500 for the vinyl box - ouch!

    I believe they made it to Denver most tours, but gotta feel fortunate with just those 13 North American dates this time.

    Oh man, Toronto. I looooove this band, never though I'd get a chance to see them.

    EDIT: oh crap, I'm outta town. Noooooo. I'll have to fly in to Chicago, I'm not missing this one.

    Ash76 Wait actually yeah no

    I saw them at a small pub gig on their 20,000 Watt RSL (greatest hits) tour about 20 years ago. They put on a great show so I'm up for seeing them again

    The most expensive box (Super Pack) also includes 2 tickets to the gig of your choice.
    Considering Australian tix are around the $150 mark in some cases, maybe it's not too bad a deal.

    So bummed they're at the Fillmore in Silver Spring on a weeknight. I envision the show starting at 10:00 pm and the venue using the "no seats on main floor" configuration. A double no-go for me. Luckily I've already seen them 5 or 6 times.

    350 USD Ash, that's way beyond my 'Guinea pig' curiosity for that format. Nice though I guess for a one shot box for new fans who don't want/care to search out the oldie's
