Glorified Stereo, 15 July 2012

Mine just came in the mail from the UK this morning. Where it is great to have two full shows from this line up there is much to forgive in this release. First yes this is a DVD-A but you have to watch it in DTS to get the Video. Both DVD-A and DTS are 48/24 so there is not a huge difference anyway. The shows themselves are good but taken right from the start of the tour. The DVD from this tour might have the band playing a little tighter but there is a certain rawness to this that I find refreshing. It's not that the band is not tight because they are (they're King Crimson for God Sakes) but maybe it was the way it was recorded I don't know.

Hidden Treasure!, 19 Jun 2012

In Toronto there use to be a great store on Queen Street that has long since gone. I use to go there because the staff was great at bring people's attention to a record like this. They saw I was picking up some Traffic and told me I would like this record. I loved it. I originally picked it up on Gold CD and glad I spent the money. There is not a dud on this album. I have listened to some of his other solo material but I found nothing that he put out that is on Par with this.
Every time this CD finishes I can not believe it's already over. In my world it almost speeds up time. If you like music of that era (late 1960's) check it out I think you might like it!

Reason for bad sound!, 4 May 2012

According to Tony Iommi the reason the original mix on this is so bad is because they did not know the tweeters were blown in the speakers they used for making the mix. The second question is why did they not remix it? According to sanctuary the original multiple track is missing leaving just the two track master to work with.
The studio album disc dose not sound great but this is a good record and at least you don't have to pay a fortune to get it anymore!
