Just like computer hardware and software, the manufacturers let the consumers do their quality control and beta testing these days.

Yep. Did you hear about the Rush problems too?

There have been some problems with those AF gold CDs also, but I don't buy those, so no big deal.

I purchased 2 King Crimson DVD-As (Lizard & Red) a couple of weeks ago. The sound and mix were very good. As a result I just purchase another DVD-A (Discipline).
Also a very good 5.1 mix.

The Band - The Last Waltz (DVD-Audio)

 

[Quad Linda]

A great DVD-A. The BEST rock documentary EVER! Check out the Blu-Ray or DVD-V. Think I'll play the DVD-A today in my car. Great suggestion.

I'm totally new to The Band, but your post made it move to the top of my 'need to listen soon pile'. Now I'm realy curious - I only heard good things, have to listen today...

This is the Band's BEST PERFORMANCE. They shine, augmented by a killer horn section. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Add Dylan, Muddy Waters, Joni Mitchell, Clapton, Neil Young, Dr. John, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Staple Singers, Emmylou Harris, Paul Butterfield, Ronnie Hawkins, Ringo, Ron Wood and more, and you have something spectacular.

Life is a Carnival.

What a GEM in my hands I did not really know about. Some All-Star concert like Black and White Night which I really love. Now I'm definitive curious.

Does anyone know if the blu-ray the same audio as the DVD-A?

Sadly, I didn't A/B them before giving the DVD-V to my Girlfriend when I bought the Blu-Ray.

And then there is "Music From Big Pink" dvda

The Blu Ray is of the movie of course and contains dialogue and documentary interviews between some of the songs - some songs (just a few) are truncated (Muddy Water's "Mannish Boy" comes to mind). The Blu Ray, despite what is says on the cover is LPCM 5.1 and not DTS HD MA. The DVD-A is music only and as far as I can tell, the same mix - not a particularly aggressive mix - but this being arguably the greatest Rock movie ever it's good enough. I prefer the movie just because it is such an incredible document of a musical period that we'll not likely see again.

Outch, that is expensive over here. I guess I have to post at swap meet to get one of these or be patient...

How disheartening that nearly all SACD's that are released today are 2ch, especially those that were previously released in 5.1 or Quad! Since the record companies charge royalities for every version, the licensees would need to pay more to add the surround version. I surmise they include a CD layer to increase their potential audience, for compatibility reasons. I bought the SACD's of Caravanserai, Santana/McLaughlin, Doobies, etc. It pains me to think of what could have been. And they clip suckers like me $30 a pop. Like so many things today, both in and outside the record business, they're done "on the cheap." It's all SO SAD!
