Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[fizzywiggs41]

How would you rate the sound quality on these two?

I'm not a huge fan of Ms. Harris, but it is good surround and one track has some of "THE BAND" members guesting with her.



The Griffin disc is a pretty good performance in my opinion, surround is mostly ambience.

Generally that's the trend for any cover song. I like them both actually.

I like them both too,but in fact Thin Lizzy's version is a cover of an old traditional Irish song.

There's whiskey in the jaarooooaah!

I like Thin Lizzy's version better.

Generally that's the trend for any cover song. I like them both actually.

Let's face it, a great song is a great song. I've heard four versions of this classic song and I enjoy every one of them.

Thin Lizzy
Metallica
Pulp
Belle And Sebastian

Thin Lizzy version from the Live & Dangerous dvd - as a bonus video, from Top of the Pops, and it is in 5.1.

It sounds like mono - but it's great!

Black Sabbath..Paranoid

Thin Lizzy

That is cool!

But the most important thing: The Metallica version is in surround - pretty nice one too - cool with the guitar kickin in in the rears midway through the song.

Sorry - stereo does not do it.

So the Metallica version just rules!

:brew

imho - of course

"Whiskey In The Jar" is a great party song, but so is "Friggin' In The Riggin' " by The Sex Pistols as per this 5.1 DVD in the closing credits.

Silverline DVD-A 5.1 PCM 24/96 Inside The Music Classic Jazz at 55 db just as good as anything else in surround.

Got 2 "new" ones (as in new to me) yesterday at the Bristol hifi show:
Alice Cooper Muscle of Love Audio Fidelity 4.0 sacd
and Eric Bibb Rainbow People Opus3 4.1 sacd

Two completely different discs but really nice in their own way. Will have to listen to the AC one a few more times to get pass the mild surprise as was not expecting something that "gentle" but I didn't know this album.

I never noticed it before, but Bonnie Raitt's -Nick Of Time DVDA has 3 video's in DTS , not just DD 5.1 !

Roy Orbison- Black & White Night 30 Blu-ray...well, I've finally got this mix that I've read so much about! Problem is, I don't think this is the same mix that's on the previous DVD-A or DVD-V versions (this is the only version I have, so I can't directly compare... I was never able to find the version that came with the DVD-A). The surround mix on THIS version is lackluster (IMO); really just ambience in the rear speakers (I don't hear any discrete rear elements at all, unfortunately). The video looks good (but purposely grainy), and you do get several bonus songs from an informal jam that occurred after the "official" concert. I'm pretty disappointed considering the rave reviews I read in the forum about the original release surround mix being very discrete and aggressive (on the blu-ray there are no guitars or other instruments bursting forth from the rear speakers whatsoever). If anyone has both versions, I'd love to read a comparison! (Better yet, if anyone can tell me where I might be able to hear the original DVD-A surround mix, I'll do the comparison myself!)

Really? They replace one of the best 5.1 mixes ever made - with a boring front + ambience mix? Thanks for the warning, I will not upgrade my 2008 blu ray to this.

The release is discussed here:
