I never did like the song "The Joker".

Space Intro on the DTS CD is truncated like it is on the 5.1 DD DVD - ie 15 seconds instead of 1:15.

Is it truncated on the Q8?
It's truncated (15s)
All of the above but I deny everything!
I'm pissed off because I had the chance to go to an Engineering and Recording Society of Chicago (EARS) event last September where Ed Cherney, the guy who mixed the 5.1 version of 'Fly Like an Eagle", was a special guest. Unfortunately, I had other unbreakable plans. I would have made sure to ask him about the missing full "Space Intro".
I love this song! I grew up listening to it on the radio, a lot.

It's on the Acura dvd audio sampler also
I was in a Goodwill the other day and almost flipped when I saw the Acura DVD-Audio sampler on the CD shelf. Of course the disc was missing 
Can we sort this out here?
I recall, from having owned it (and then returned it) that the 2006 DVD (Dolby Digital 5.1) did *not* have the 'Space Intro' -- the 1:15 first track of the stereo album. IIRC it did have the "Space Outro" (i.e., the coda of 'Fly Like an Eagle')
I have read elsewhere that on the old DTS 5.1 disc the 'Space Intro' is also either missing...or truncated.
But HomerJAU here reported otherwise.
And apparently the 2008 Acura demo disc (DVD-A) has a complete (?) "Space Intro" in surround? Even though it's mixed by the same guy credited on the DD 5.1 from 2006? (Ed Cherney)?
Again, I'm talking about the Intro -- the beginning of the album -- NOT the spacey stuff at the end of the title track. The original Space Intro was ~1:15 long.
Who has heard all versions (including the original stereo, of course) and can report back?

just an FYI for anyone shopping around for this one;
the DVD in the initial 30th Anniversary release on Capitol in the U.S. is Region 1 encoded.
the DVD in the subsequent Edsel release in the UK is Region 2 encoded.
Unless your DVD player has been adapted (i.e. hacked!) so as to be a "Region Free" or "All Regions Unlocked" machine, buyers in the U.S.A. should pick up the Capitol edition with Region 1 encoded DVD and buyers in the UK, Europe and Japan should pick up the Edsel edition with Region 2 encoded DVD.
content wise the discs are the same, the packaging and booklets have some differences (US booklet has an essay, UK booklet has song lyrics).

I'm sure it's been said many times here, but despite only being Dolby Digital, the 5.1 mix sounds surprisingly good...
Having said that though, talk about a title that would be ripe for an SDE-style BluRay - the quad mix and 5.1 mix only ever available in lossy formats digitally, and the multitrack assets presumably already digitized and available for a new Atmos mix thanks to the prep for the 5.1 mix.

We purchased this one on it's release. We have played it several times over the years and do like it. A decent, old dd 5.1. Played a LOT as a kid. Cassette then though. And yes the space intro is 'truncated' on this 5.1 dvd. I cannot remember if it was the entire version on the cassette. Curious. It is packed up in a box in the shop. Will try to find it later..But.....what a mess. ~When I was young, I would carefully open what I knew were wrapped cassettes that were for me under the Christmas tree, cut school and play them while my parents were at work. Then, very carefully re-wrap and put back under the tree. It became an art after having opened them several times before Christmas, the paper getting more and more wrinkled made me a bit paranoid though . I was so surprised Christmas morning! The three I can remember were this one, a Jethro Tull Aqualung and a Lynyrd Skynyrd 'pronounced' ..What a rotten kid!

I have the DVD, but someone answer this for me?
I'm sitting here looking at the HDS DTS-CD. What year was it released? 1996?
Miller by Miller? lol. Oops upside down.

November 25, 1997? https://www.megaonlinestore.com/p132494-fly-like-an-eagle-steve-miller-dts-cd rare and looks to have the entire space intro on it. This version on discogs says 1996 Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle (CD, US, 1996) For Sale | Discogs looks like there were two DTS versions
