Did he lend you his comb?

Hey, I never entertained the notion of my own insanity based on the Skynyrd tribute - I remember it far too well! :D Thanks for digging that up on YT. I sure did hate that tribute 40 years ago...

IIRC, it wasn't just LS playing one song - it was a semi-long tribute to the band. "Semi-long" meaning like... 10 minutes? Or maybe it just FELT like 10 minutes to an 11-year-old who didn't care about LS and who just wanted to see "Grease"! Anyway, I saw "Grease" multiple times in summer 1978...

Not entirely. There's still one sign that's blurred, and IIRC, there's one Coke promo item that's just blank. I'm guessing they left the one blurred sign in because a) it's farther in the background than the most prominent one, and b) because it's in the movie for less time. Still seems weird...

That's cool! :) And you're right: I did say "99.9%" because I'm going by my observations, not a factual statement from Paramount or whatever. All I know is that I flipped between them and heard zero differences between the audio mixes. Wouldn't make much sense for Paramount to use the old mix...

Yes - I confirmed it earlier in the thread. Both 4K and BD use the same soundtrack...

I'm certainly no expert - I did an Internet search while I wrote my review. The consensus seems to be that the producers had a deal with Pepsi and altered the Coke signs to honor that - though they still let one slip through. Others claim that Coke wouldn't give the producers permission to...

I guess. This seems like something along the lines with removing the reflection of the snake in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to me, though - fixing something that technology couldn't correct at the time. It remains unclear to me whether or not the film ever ran with the Coke signs intact. Many...

No one brought it up yet, but the "blurred Coke signs" are gone - sort of. One still exists in the background of a shot, but that's the only evidence of Coke. Another Coke image just gets deleted, while other Coke signs are now Pepsi signs!

I'm 99.9% sure both come from the same transfer. I compared the 2 and found them to strongly seem to stem from identical sources...

I'm sure they will. It'd be weird if they used an old transfer...
