Andrew ... that's what they call a "digipak" and you're right it is poor The long awaited DVD(s) though are excellent IMHO - sound is decent though not amazing (like HFO for example) - picture is 4:3 not widescreen (as it was filmed that way) but I have no issues picture-wise as I am only...
Tim - this DVD is not what I was hoping for after all - it appears it is one of those "making of the album" DVD's rather than the DVD of the concert :thumbsdown: Still the Gary Moore DVD looks great :emoji_thumbsup: Paul
L&D is due for release in the UK on 13th March '06 Details here: http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=p...M&title=867299 Limited details: Thin Lizzy's 1978 masterpiece is universally recognised as one of the greatest live albums of all time. This amazing live double set captured the classic...
No - but to give it its full title "Yes Symphonic - Live in Amsterdam" - the band play with a full symphony orchestra - I was sceptical but it works! Some real gems on here like "Close to the Edge" and "Gates of Delirium" - sound is excellent IMHO - full details here ...
what they all said plus ... Eagles Farewell Tour Steely Dan Two Against Nature Jean Michel Jarre Live in China Peter Gabriel Growing Up Live Yes Live in Amsterdam ... to name but five :b Paul
Got my DVD-A today (2 weeks instead of the normal 4 days to get here from Miami sheesh!) What a mix we have here! PT must have written this as a 5.1 album as it works perfectly on every track - 9.5 out of 10 in my humble opinion Haven't seen mention on here of the 5.1 version of "She's Moved...
I read on another Eagles thread that the line up changed from the HFO DVD era and understand that in 2004 the line up included Henley Frey Walsh & Schmit but that Don Felder had left the band a few years before (?) I presume they brought in someone new ? Can anyone advise what the full line up...
Glenn - The new DVD is listed for release at amazon.com on 14th June '05 so only 1 day after the date my UK etailer has so it appears to be a world wide release on or about the same day ... Paul ;)
JordanS - With a potential set list as long as The Eagles I dare say we all will be disappointed over certain fav tracks which arent included however "The Last Resort" (one of my favs too btw) is one of the stand out tracks on their Hell Freezes Over DVD The set list on this new DVD has some...
The Eagles: Farewell Tour Live in Melbourne due for release on 13th June '05 - looks pretty impressive! Here's the blurb from my local DVD etailer ... The phenomenally successful music of the Eagles has been like a soundtrack to the lives of a whole generation and they are still finding new...
... arriving somewhere but not here ... my most played track from a superb album (imho of course!) I have heard all sorts of SW stuff including almost all the PT albums (some are very rare/deleted etc) and his side projects like No-Man & Blackfield - I guess I just like his music whatever the...
Phil - Lee is right but even the large stores like Virgin & HMV will charge you silly amounts for SACD & DVD-A (it is not that popular over here - still seen as a niche market - expect to get stuff for £15+ which is $28US+) Everyone I know buys online & I get alot of my SACD DVD-A & DVD stuff...
Anyone wanting to import the SACD from UK ? Try CD-WOW who say on home page "Free Worldwide Delivery" http://www6.cd-wow.com/detail_result...uct_code=17932 BIA SACD is £9.99 which is US$18.79 CD-WOW are an excellent company with great customer service I live in UK so can't comment on...
Yes please! AC/DC without Bon Scott is like Queen without Freddie IMHO Brian Robertson's voice on all the live AC/DC DVDS is, to be polite, dire ... I saw them at Hammersmith Odeon (London) before Bon Scott's sad demise - they were awesome! Paul ;)
As an experiment I created my own CD from the SACD so I could do a direct comparison between the CD mix & SACD using my own equipment (yes I should get out more!) On my equipment there is definately a lot more bass on the CD mix so I was not imagining it - I played a few tracks to my son (who...
Rachael - fair enough - my DVD player will not let me play the SACD as a CD, only as an SACD if you follow me! I have a CD player in another room & a good quality system in my car and both these systems play the CD mix with plenty of bass whereas my main system plays the SACD mix with a lot...
Rachael B ... Thanks for that - I agree its certainly MK's most mellow album - Do you agree that the bass is really toned down on the SACD Surround mix compared to the CD mix ? That's what I was getting at really & just wondered if it was meant to be like that - I guess only MK & his producer...
Justin - didnt realise the SACD wasnt a worlwide release on SACD ??? See what you mean about the price in the US (just looked at Acousticsounds.com) spotted the DualDiscs you mentioned ... I have posted my reservations about the SACD across the pond here so may get a better response (?) I'll...
Lee - not top end kit by any means but not lacking in bass in stereo / DPL / DTS / DD5.1 etc A Denon 3801 receiver (7 x 105w) Pioneer "Hybrid" DVD player Kef KHT2005 speakers x 6 & REL Quake sub woofer As I said other SACD & DVD-A stuff I have has plenty of bass & I just felt Shangri-La was...
I recently took delivery of the new MK offering on SACD expecting to find the usual high sound quality which has been one of the consistant features of his solo work (& Dire Straits too IMHO) The sound on the SACD is frankly disappointing and seems to have all the bass stripped from it whereas...
... Play has great sound (DTS or DD5.1) PG can always be relied on to deliver top SQ - some interesting remixes on here - Games w/o Frontiers is one track which shines & never sounded better IMHO - overall the bass on Play is awesome! Paul ;)
Guys - I've heard all three of these DVDS and whilst I was expecting ROTK to win hands down my favourite is actually M&C in DTS - When ROTK comes out in EE version with DTS-ES I expect I might change my mind ... Greg - buy all three! Not only do they have great sound but they are all great...
I bought the DVD (2 disc version) and although not a die hard fan have always like the band - I now realise I should have checked out the CD first as the acoustic versions of their songs just dont work for me - On the live DVD Richie is just strumming and appears disinterested - Sure J-B-J has a...
Well my son introduced me to Porcupine Tree (PT) a few months ago & brought the DVD-A round the other night to audition ... I haven't time to go into great detail but this is one of the best DVD-A's I have heard - PT's music is just made for the format with lots of LOUD bits & completely...
Matt - I've got a new Pioneer DVD player that does DVD-A & SACD having had the 626 (DVD-A only) before - DSOTM is class & IMHO the best surround sound mix so far on either format - If you like Peter Gabriel I highly recommend his latest offering "Up" which is Hybrid SACD with Surround Sound...
Danny - The Straits "Sultans of Swing" has been out in the UK for some time "On The Night" has only just came out & was released at the same time as a Knopfler Solo DVD "A Night In London" which I have - It is Region Coded 1-6 but is PAL according to the box - It is not DD5.1 just DD2.0 but the...
Out on 3rd Nov '03 according to ... http://petergabriel.com/moonclub/growingup/ I was a bit sceptical about the release date but some UK & US sites have the DVD for preorder with the same date ... Paul ;)
