HiRez Poll Raitt, Bonnie - NICK OF TIME [DVD-A]

[JonUrban]

From EMI/Capitol: Comments and Observations Please.......

 

[MIDIQ]

This is a super disc that sounded great in stereo, now it sounds even better in surround. I gave the music a 10, and the surround mix an 8 {I liked the surround mix quite a bit, but it could have been a little better}, still have to rate over all a ten, a must have, for me anyway. :sun

 

[MikeT]

How aggressive is the surround mix on this one - I am on the fence about purchsing this since I have the DCC Gold CD version. If the surround mix is aggressive, I might go for it.

Thanks.

I only gave it a 5. Great music videos, but the regular program is a bit boring, and there's one song where she sings the words "shut up" ? Not too smooth there.

 

[Guy Robinson]

Bonnie Raitt, not interested.

Good effective surround mix. the music is not teh best that Bonnie has written but its an enjoyable album non the less.

 

[shokhead]

Very clean sounding. I enjoyed it but not an every week listen.

 

[filper]

Based on the dts track (until I get the DVD-A), I'd rate it up there with Linda's 'What's New'.

Great tunes, and a full surround sound field.

Beautifully recorded.

It's hard to believe it's 20 years old.

Thanks to GabeL, I now have a 'real' copy...

It's a 10+ for sure.

My thanks to Dan for getting me hooked on it.

Bonnie Raitt, not interested.

Great guitar player but they turned her into a bit of an MOR artist. Used to play this cd a lot but I dunno if I could revisit it today. My tastes have gotten a tad heavier.

Fire up 'Too Soon To Tell' and call it a night.

Hey, that was no dig on you Dave.

Just to clarify.

 

[The Rang]

So you finally tracked down a copy...excellent!

I've often been tempted to get this one but never bothered because I have the DCC gold.

Always liked the song "Have a Heart"

It's a better album than its' follow up "Luck of the Draw" in my opinion, even though the latter apparently sold more. (12 million vs 9 million....wow she sold a lot of records back then!)

I'd suggest you find one. I'll bet it gives the DCC a run for it's money.

I like Bonnie but don't have any of her albums. This is the first. Love it. Sound is exceptional. Very discreete and active surrounds. Great voice, great mix. You can't go wrong here... I will likely give it a 9, but I am still listening...

Dusted this one off today and took it for a spin in the car. Forgot how good it was. Love the title song, and "Too Soon to Tell".

Capitol DVD-A's were always the hardest to find in the stores, and the most expensive as well. This is a good disc and one that should be included in a good DVD-A collection. Vocals in the center, but also everywhere else, the surround mix is full but not SW or ES discreet. It won't wow you, but it fits the music just fine.

A '9' from me.

I remember it as being plesant enough ill have to dust it off again if i can find the time with everthing else thats good

 

[bossfan]

Yes as I said two posts up, I like it. Sound is great. I also like the Dts 2X disc of road rock. Another winner with some great tunes on it.

Mark Waldrep (Dr. AIX) has a nice write up on this album (not the DVD-A) on his blog today. Worth checking out:

I'm dusting this one off after recently seeing Bonnie in a small venue. She had great interaction with the crowd and played 'Have a Heart', prior to the song she mentioned that these where some of the best opening verses of any song she has sung.

Hey!
Shut up
Don't lie to me
You think I'm blind but I got eyes to see

Anyway, at age 67 she still sounds as good as she does on the record some 15 years later.
