Frampton on DVD-A - Page 2

When I said "a small space" I meant a really small one!


I got ya now. I went home looking for some small ridge between them.

Growing up, I've followed Framptons career, starting with "As Safe As Yesterday Is" by Humble Pie.


Me too. I was listening to "I Don't Need no Doctor" and "30 Days in the Hole" before I knew who Frampton was. Humble Pie has two releases on DVD-A. Anyone have those?

Re: Frampton on DVD-A

Way back from the dead.

Saw him on Soundstage last week and wanted to pick up the DVD-A but now can't find it.

Is there a big difference in the DVD-A and SACD?

I can get the SACD but if the DVD-A is a better piece then I'll search around for it.

Thanks

Re: Frampton on DVD-A

They both have 4 additional cuts from the same concert series and the songs are in a different order than on the cd, which I didn't like. I think they both share the same surround mix but I'm not positive. The DVD-A does have 3 live videos from 1976 and an audio interview. Otherwise, it's a matter if you prefer one over the other. I have the DVD-A because I didn't have a hi-res player (used the DD layer) when it came out. I also feel that DVD-A sounds a bit warmer on my slightly brite system than SACD. Frampton's Live In Detroit concert dvd is also quite good.

Thanks.

Another local BB apparently has a copy of the DVD-A that we'll pick up tomorrow.

Live in Detroit...that always kills me. Pine Knob is a good 20 miles north of Detroit, which is where the concert was done.

Ya but, "Frampton Live In Pine Knob"? I think I'd laugh myself to death!

This disc was mastered in PCM, so I would assume the DVD-A would have a slight sonic edge over the SA-CD due to one less digital conversion. That being said, I won the SA-CD, and am generally happy with the disc's quality for a live recording. My biggest issue is that it is a single layer SA-CD only disc, so portability and using the music on my iPod easily kind of goes out the window.
