Anything with "Neil Young" on it is a must have for me.
What really disappoints me is that the one NY album that I did not care for in the last 10 years or so came out on a 5.1 DVD-A, as well as two CD versions with DVD's. I tried but I just could not get into "Greendale". I would have preferred "Are You Passionate" or "Praire Wind" in 5.1 instead.

Didn't the Prairie Wind special edition include a surround mix?
No, just a hi-bit stereo DVD.
I bought a DVD-A copy of Greendale last week, but I left it sealed because I am not sure about that one either. I saw the movie, and it was underwhelming.

WTF is "super saturated"????? Opposite of Polyunsaturated?????
Stunning, simply stunning!
It's a step above Sony's "enhanced stereo" from the DualDisc Hall of Shame.

Super Saturated's another term for 24/96 hi rez audio.
I hope you're right but it sounds like a leap of faith.
Just got this email from Neil Young Ticketing. You can order presale tickets and get his new CD "for free".

At the very least, it is one more thing to confuse the music-buying masses ... as if they weren't confused enough already. "Tastes great, less filling!"

I believe I have seen that silly term on other Neil Young 96kHz/24-bit LPCM DVD-V's, or at least in the advertisements for them. I have several he has done that way, he is likely to do the same once again.

The acoustic version of Greendale available on the Live At Vicar St. DVD-V is the best one IMO. It's best offered stream is DTS but I think this piece of music generally comes off better with a minimalist approach. The reason it works better is that there is a lot a narrative between songs where Neil explains the plot. It's a lot more intimate and hangs together better. It's really the only way to experience this piece of music.

Actually I just listened to the Vicar Street in it's entirety again and I fully believe that this is the only way to truly experience Greendale. Any Neil fans out there that don't like Greendale or are on the fence should try this one. Especially like the oscillating megaphone and the pump organ that he uses on stage.

I am surprised its surround to be quite honest the last few double disc packs have been very good LPCM stereo, at proper audiophile rates.
Still im tempted as its neil young
It's likely a mistake. I suspect it will be the regular 24/96 stereo.
I still wonder if it was his idea to stop issuing DVD-A's or the labels edict. He was such a flag bearer of the format.

It's worth a shot at $19.95 USD and free shipping (about the same as Amazon).
