Immigrant Song is the only overlapping track. IIRC, the audio on the DVD is from the same performances as the CD, although the video is from a different show.The audio on the CD is from two shows in LA. The audio on disc 2 of the DVD is set from Australia (Immigrant Song only), New York City (Song Remains the Same concerts I think), Earl's Court, and Knebworth. At least as far disc 2 of the DVD, they do not overlap.
Don't have either at my desk, so I do not know the source of DVD disc 1.
FWIW, I listened to the whole CD, and disc 2 of the DVD. My impression is that someone got the EQ and mastering right on both the CD and the DVD. Everything sounded good, although of course, the overall quality does vary from track to track.
As far as audio on the disc 2 of the DVD, I actually preferred the Dolby Digital tracks over the DTS tracks. My player lets my toggle between the tracks, and while I thought the DTS had a bit wider soundstage, I though the low end (bass and drums) on the DD tracks was a bit heavier (in a good way).
Keep in mind that I did not attempt any sort of level matching or anything; I just toggled through between the audio tracks. Not sure why that would be, and of course, YMMV, but thats what I heard in my rig.
Anyway you slice it, these discs are a MUST have for anyone that is even a casual LZ fan.
