Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[beerking]

If I had Spocki Ears, Mike, I'd be able to hear a dog whistle.

And I could also roll over and play dead!

BTW. would you scratch my belly?

Sure...there you go.
I've given you the premier service, with my assistant included, with no extra charge!!
She likes her belly rubbed too....

Miles Davis ‎Miles! The Definitive Miles Davis At Montreux DVD Collection 1973-1991
Oh YEAH! Amazing shows. The mix is more than just crowd, ambience, reverb, but not much more--it's the shows, though! ELECTRIFYING! By the nature of its massive content, I would give it my vote HERE

QS encoded CD. Correct thread ?

Whats the Quad like?

This is a real treat. .....Very discrete.
Some really heavy bass on the first several songs.
La Grange is beyond fantastic. Dueling guitars from the surrounds and then the lead pokes through the front of the mix with a phantom center.
All is knew before was the 80-fied version so this one blew me away.

 

[Beefalo]

Pink Floyd AMLOR.
Sounds like they used an old worn out master tape. Poor definition. Overpowering bass. The vocals are lost.
Echo city. Mush !

so I took off my hat and said 'Imagine that..."

La Grange is beyond fantastic. Dueling guitars from the surrounds and then the lead pokes through the front of the mix with a phantom center.

The quad mix actually reveals that the main riff in "La Grange" is two guitars playing at the same time - one part is in the rears and the other is in the front!

There's a documentary that recently landed on Netflix about the band called That Little Ol' Band From Texas that has some interesting insight into how the band recorded during that period, including the Tres Hombres album. Their manager laid down an edict that they were supposed to only record live in the studio with no overdubs, which made it impossible for them to get the big sound they were after. So one day when they were recording and he wasn't at the studio, the producer got Billy Gibbons to double his guitar part on a song by playing exactly the same thing with his guitar slightly out of tune on the overdubbed part. When the producer returned they played the result for him without telling him what they'd done, and when he said he loved it, they revealed that was the result of the slightly sharp (or flat?) guitar overdub. The result sounded so good that the producer had to relent on his 'no overdubs' stance and ZZ Top's signature sound was born.

It's almost impossible to pick apart the separate guitars on any of the band's early stereo releases - as you say, the quad mix has the two guitars split front/rear and it's a real revelation to hear them separated like that.

Talking Heads: Remain In Light (DVDA 5.1)

You may find yourself at the grocery store
Staring at an empty shelf
And you may ask yourself
Where is the toilet paper
And you may ask yourself
Where are the cleaning supplies
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here
