I am pleased that Brendon Snyder is now joining the SOT family. Good guy with excellent taste in music.

[@duncanparkes3196]

I think Brendon absolutely belongs here. Love him and sot. I’ve wanted this collaboration for ages! Brilliant! 🤘

[@BrendonSnyder]

Thank you Patrick! I’m grateful that Pete asked me to join him on this super fun topic.

Great to see Brendon and Pete together, two of the best in music content!

[@ScottBerry-yn8rw]

Welcome to SoT Brendon! Nice to see the two of you doing a show together.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Thank you Scott! I’m glad to be here.

[@purpletemple1]

Love Brendon's channel. His "music round-up's" and "visit to the local stores" episodes are a real treat, and he always has a kind word for his viewers. Cheers.

[@jonathancilley9450]

Excellent! Good person to have on the channel. I have been a subscriber to Brendon's channel for a few years now. I hope you continue to collaborate and grow both channels.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Thank you Jonathan!

[@melprophet1936]

Happy to see Pete and Brendon doing this discussion! I could see Brendon doing Curse of the Collector for sure.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Thanks Mel!

[@brucybabyy7355]

oh ya

[@analogkid2869]

I’m so glad that Pete has finally put Brendan Snyder on his channel. Brendan has an incredible collection and is extremely knowledgeable about his music and collection. Also great to see Scott on from the Prog corner as well. Hopefully scott will become a regular now on sea of tranquility in the Prog seat. And hopefully Brendan has at least earned a spot on the Hudson valley squares, the curse of the collector or any other sea of tranquility series! Here’s hoping both Scott and Brendan join the sea of tranquility team !

[@SK-qu4wo]

The two most eloquent and knowledgeable music collectors on KZbin together in one video? Instant like!

[@gavintyte4996]

Two guys who love music with a passion cheers for this great show always interesting to hear Pete and Brendon.

[@hammerheadly]

I actually stumbled across Brendon’s KZbin channel a month or so before finding SOT on KZbin at the beginning of the pandemic. So glad to see him on SOT!

[@BrendonSnyder]

I actually used the lockdown time during the pandemic to really focus on building my channel. Maybe the only positive that came out of the whole pandemic. But I’m glad you found my channel and it helped you through.

[@jinortap5685]

Awesome! This is the dream dynamic duo! Thanks for joining forces, guys!

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Great to see Brendon here as well! Phil :)

[@martinfranco3716]

Wow! What a great surprise, Pete, to see this collaboration with you and Brendon. Watching it now and it's great as usual. So nice to see the unity and friendship that our music brings to people. Brendon's channel is awesome as well and seeing you two geniuses together is very cool. Kudos to you both!

[@markoliponen2099]

Two of my favourite youtubers together at last! Yes, more of these, please!

[@luiscontreras4718]

Recently discovered Brendon's channel and am so happy to see him doing a show with Pete. This is awesome!

[@patriottex4813]

Been following Brendon for awhile now. He is great, personable, and responsive to fans. His music news and album release videos are a must watch for any music collector. I was telling my wife I wish you guys would do a video together, and here it is! Thanks guys this was great and I learned a lot!

[@djacobmadrigal]

Wow what a nice surprise to see you two team up! Great episode!!!

[@erics5846]

Pompeii is in the Early Years box in the Obfusc/ation set. Meddle 5.1 is what was left off at the last minute, but still extractable with a computer

[@richardwoodhouse8404]

Great to see you two together, Brendon is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and is the KING of melodic rock, great show and lets have more from Brendon

[@MartyMurray]

It's good to see you two working together. You have a good rapport and similar tastes in music, and are both avid collectors. I look forward to seeing more in the future.

[@kamranmalik8546]

Well this is a huge surprise, looking forward to this interview. Brendon has a great KZbin channel as well I’ve seen many and love his album collections!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Glad it’s made you excited! We had lots of fun. I hope you do as well while watching.

[@stevendavid5370]

I knew Pete and Brendon would hit it off together once they got together and started talking collecting music. I also knew that Brendon would bring something very special to SOT channel. I watch SOT and Brendon's channel "All the damn time" everyday. This is an amazing video with incredible content. Hey, bands time to listen to this video when you want to create a successful SELLING box set. I really hope Pete asks Brendon to come back on SOT again!! Brendon would be great on Curse of the Collector series.

[@lazarossamaras4427]

SoT is expanding, including Brendon is a nice addition. Great talk on boxsets. I think Jethro Tull 's boxsets are the best as well as Marillion. I have all Floyd's boxsets. They are my favourite band. The Immersion ones are the best.

[@peteadams9604]

I absolutely loved this episode! You two do great together, and I look forward to more of these! 😁

[@Scandolo]

What a crossover!! how great!

[@eltronics]

Time well spent. So thought provoking, yet the video was over with before you know it. Don't know if you could do a Part 2, due to the material matter, but I would think it could be as interesting to watch. Both of you being extensive media collectors, definitely adds to it. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesuden5219]

Worlds collide! My two favorite channels combined!

[@JaredRobbins2]

WOW. Brendon is a hit! This already has 11,000 views! Keep up the good work you two. Hope to see Brendon very soon, you’re awesome!!!

[@yuri_nazarenko]

What an unexpected episode! Two of my very favourite youtubers together! It is almost like KZbin Christmas to me! Thank you good people you make my life a little better.

Great to see Brendon on with you. You guys are my 2 favorite KZbinrs. Best sources for new and old music.

Thanks so much!

[@markjohnson4356]

I am really enjoying these two person shows with Pete and other KZbinrs on specific topics. I would like to see more shows like this.

[@ijeff2005]

I just discovered Brendon more recently and have really enjoyed his content. This was a long video and I wasn't sure if I could make it through, but I had some time to kill today so I watched it all and really enjoyed it. I am also a box set enthusiast. Kudos to both of you for an excellent, informative video.

[@alketkellici6766]

Peter we want more of Brendon! Terrific

[@lateramae]

This was awesome! You and Brendon have great chemistry! Can't wait to see you two collaborate again one day!

[@AndI0td763]

Brendon is a really good find for me, seems like a really good guy. And thanks for having him on, would enjoy seeing more of these team ups.

[@rolovi30]

Congratulations to both of you. You guys make a great team!!!

[@brianpirie5490]

Great to see Brendon on the roster..love lots of his shows.welcome!!

[@CathyLahn]

As for the nutzo ROLLING STONES box set of 45 discs, I would suggest to do what I've done several times, when it comes to the content of "difficult" sets like this. If you still have the ability, simply make a little set of CD-Rs that contain say 17-22 tracks each, as to save yourself from all the inconvenience. I guess, in this insane case, that would still turn out to be 9 or 10 discs (usually much less), but then you can at least listen to all the material in a much more relaxed/laid-back manner, and you wouldn't have to take any of those 45 separates out at all. -- save for enjoying the artwork.

[@tommyaddison6539]

[@nickgonzalez4081]

Great show as expected! Good to see Brendon finally in SOT!!!!

[@kevinmcgrath7183]

[@dtltmtgt]

Interesting show. Personally I am not a collector of box sets, but some are very tempting when done right.

[@-M3phisto-]

Brendon on SOT, great stuff!

[@peterx1957]

Watching you both discuss this subject, i couldn't help wish I was in on the discussion too. Boxed sets can be really great but even some of the best of them can skimp on some minor but still important details. In my mind I was pulling out my big ELP "Fanfare" boxed set as an example of both great but could've been better. I hear you about oddly shaped packaging, missed opportunities - what were they thinking? I personally don't mind the 'long box' or 'digi-book' style boxed set. I have been able to accommodate them both however and there have been some wonderful sets released. I just wish they'd been consistent with their height &/or style. There's the example of Paul McCartney's wonderful archive series going from a nice, simple but classy hard cover book format for the initial 3 releases to a box of similar height & style but with the addition of nice (but 'not really' necessary) extras. This changed the game and each part of the series seemed to get thicker in girth, with additional books etc., and with that, more expensive. You guys may have inspired me to do a follow up video on this subject. This was an enjoyable one guys. Congratulations, great work. 😊

[@Original_Lurke_fromthe_Unknown]

I know this guy personally. He is a great guy and huge music fan like myself. Great get for the channel Pete. Never go wrong with Brendon.

[@karstenpost1477]

Excellent video discussion: really interesting topics, great taste on both sides and highly well informed you two are. It was a pleasure to listen to your conversation! Long live the box sets😀

[@BrendonSnyder]

It was certainly a fun topic. So many great boxsets from so many of our favorite bands it was super hard to choose. We problem could have covered twice as many if we wanted 😂

[@MarkAS56]

Bringing in Brendon is a great addition. I'm all for more collaboration with him.

[@AndyTempleman-ot6lu]

Great discussion! Thanks for sharing your opinions. You two make a great duo.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it Andy!

Great seeing Brendon. He does great videos.

[@charlesrambeau519]

Another knowledgeable guest. Great show.

[@donsavignano4396]

Yes I agree that it was great to see Brendon and Pete together talking about what we like or dislike about cd box sets. I hope they will do another video together. Take care

[@caseyory9932]

Two of my favorite KZbinrs collaborating! 😊

[@Marvidsen1973]

Wauw!! Two of my KZbin heroes finally chatting together 🙌🏻♥️🎸🇺🇸

[@jonathancilley9450]

My problem with some box sets is how many times can you buy the same thing!

[@BrendonSnyder]

That kills me too! I’ve had to stop buying some boxsets and deluxe editions for just that reason. Only so many editions that I can own of one album.

[@matts9064]

Love this topic!

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

This was great, hope to see more!🎧🙏🏻

Great to see brendon on SOT hopefully see him again nice one pete 👍

[@madmick_beyond_thunderbum]

Great topic. Somewhat of a box set collector myself. Box sets I love the most are the King Crimson big sets. Where they have the albums, on CD, DVD and Blu Ray along with about 20 CDs of live concerts.

[@paulh6673]

Sometimes it seems to take a while for new guests to find their feet, but Brendon had great chemistry with Pete from minute one. Needs to be a regular!

[@mattgravel6175]

So awesome to see you both collaborate on a show!

[@stevenleblanc9628]

I love that Byrds box set. In fact just this morning I listened to the 3rd album, 5th Dimension. Another one similar to that is Steppenwolf: Magic Carpet Ride, ABC Yrs ’67-71. I also have that Springsteen The River box set. Love it.

[@seekah1]

Can't go past some classic Byrds. Now and again when in the mood I will delve deep.

[@Wes1969YT]

Excellent episode ! A bit long but I listened to a faster pace ;-) . Thanks Pete !

[@luciusblackwood2640]

Great show! Great to see Brendon on here. Tull sets all the way for packaging and content. But I also bought the recent ELP set which is large as it contains vinyl and cd's but it's a beautiful set. Also, I recently bought a new turntable and read that marbles are useful for leveling a turntable and a lightbulb lit up in my head and I thought oh that's what those marbles were for in the Floyd box!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Thanks Lucius!

[@jasonshort1437]

Excellent episode! I love and hate box sets haha. Currently anxiously checking my mailbox for the new Little Man box from Cardiacs.

[@topographic1973ify]

Brendon is a walking encyclopedia of popular rock and prog and although he and I diverge in taste our reasoning in our tastes is very similar. I'm glad he's getting more exposure with you. You two guys have so much it puts mine to shame, especially box sets because I've never had the money to do it. I always enjoy yours and his shows.

[@jasongardner5466]

Great show!
