2013 release. Be there or be square. :unsure: ;)
Haven't played in a long time. I got to get on the time machine and fire it up.
Speaking of, 461 Ocean BLVD is one of the few CD-4 LP's I still own, brings back memories of my old Quad system.
 
In my opinion the best album of the decade so far, and without a doubt the most emotional

I am finishing my journey with Eric Clapton's 24 Nights, watching/listening now to Blu Ray #3-Orchestra in Dolby Atmos.
Some notes:
The Blues disc has a very strong Atmos feel with very strong heights unlike the Rock disc and seems like the Orchestra disc, that said, all three are ambient Atmos, definitely better than stereo, the Blues disc best of the three in content and sound.
The band that plays in the rock disc is same in orchestra disc. Many similar songs also.
The first two songs of the orchestra, has definite swirling noises from the stage, not sure what that is? You can hear the same noises in the streaming version also.
One thing that is cool on all three discs, and happens a lot, when Eric solos the camera does a letterbox split screen showing his fret work during solos.
Eric Clapton in absolutely great form and a treasure to watch, all discs.

Finally getting a chance to start listening to (and watching) a ton of media that I've ordered over the past six weeks or so. I started with this DV issue. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn't expecting so much synth, and there's some screeching synth tones in "Sweet Caroline" that are painful.

Not that the whole thing is bad - It certainly has a lot of good music, but there are moments of "WTF was Hugo thinking?"
