Haven't listened to the Atmos mix yet but listened a bit on Tidal and not particularly impressed by the new tracks. Completely forgettable in my opinion.

Listen to Landlocked bonus track what not is included, it's far better as the included bonus tracks.

Well, I saw the movie last night at what seemed to be a nice theater in Columbus, OH.
(Never been to it before so can't speak to its quality other than they serve Guinness!)
I was at the concert that this film is composed from. Gotta say I was not jumping for joy about a lot of the movie.
The credits at the end of the film say it was mixed by (guitarist) Charlton Pettus.
There is also a credit for someone I didn't remember the name of but I am assuming she didn't handle the music based on the credit.
No mention of anyone else. (Though I didn't stay for the music videos of the 4 new songs...)
At best I would call the sound OK. But not TFF quality.
As expected, there were a lot of vocal overdubs. This unfortunately causes several things to happen.
Outside of the distracting lip sync issues, (often unavoidable and not noticed by those who don't pay attention to such things) there is a real lack of energy from the audience in this film. As I said, I was there. The crowd was singing along and very loud throughout, and not in a bad way. That energy is totally missing. Some of this might be caused by the overdubs clashing with the vocals coming in through the audience mics. But there are spots where Roland points his mic into the crowd and we still can't hear them. Not good!
The music mix was also really messed up in the theater. I was sitting dead center and anything that wasn't coming from the screen (LCR) was way off. It made me wonder if the system was not set up right.
Anyhow... gotta say I'm just going to rely on my memory of the show itself going forward. The source material (the studio albums) are such a joy to listen to that I don't feel the need to revisit this again. Your mileage may vary.

I live in Nashville and was at the show as well. It was one of the most articulate, beautiful sounding concerts that I have ever heard. I thought the quality was simply amazing and am praying that comes through when the BR video performance is released.

...remixed...

*Mixed. This is a first-time release; no remixing involved.

To satiate the 'PURIST' in you, JJ, I have amended my post!

NO charge!

There are two stereo mixes on the blu-ray. One by Charlton Pettus and the other by Steven Wilson.
Even though it's a first time release, Charlton Pettus's mix is likely to be the original one, and Steven Wilson's mix the one that arrived after that. In most cases, that would be enough information to call Wilson's mix a re-mix...

Is the Pettus mix the live board mix? If so, then I still wouldn't call the Wilson mix a "remix."

It's not a live board mix. It is the mix he's done in his studio for the CD release, and apparently also the basis for the theatrical mix by Laurel Canyon Live.

Interesting, "End of Night" is one of my least-liked tracks on TTP and "My Demons" is one of my favorites. But I agree it would have been great to hear "Master Plan" live.

I really liked the Atmos mix of End of Night. Curiously, the song apparently was played during the encore at the show, but was not included on the disc for whatever reason.

Haven’t played this yet in 5.1 so not voting in the poll thread, but can’t say I’m all that thrilled with the sound on either of the stereo mixes (the SW is apparently a fold down).
This disc is OK, has its good moments, I just expected better. Live discs rarely do it for me.

Hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised when I get around to playing this in 5.1
