I have a stereo dvd (now watching) a great performance, I preordered it but worry about the PQ and also wonder if they will provide a surround mix.

So mine arrived today. Blu ray audio is well out of sync. Terrible quality control for an expensive box set

 

[CINERAMAX]

Yup, All fluff and it is not 5.1.

IMO the box with the proper sync is prob worth £60-70 - definitely not £100. With the sync issue they’re really into Gonzo Multimedia territory which is a real shame because they’ve done a great job on the previous sets.

wow!!!
100GBP!
what a shame.. I would have ordered it if it had had a MCH mix...it was one of the first concerts in video...my friend Tere's brother recorded it for me from the original MTV broadcast, and it was such a thrill to see snippets of ELP's "Pictures at an exhibition" during the Greg Lake interview... and Greg did a fabbo job; I also liked his clanky Alembic bass sound better than JW's low humming noise, which was not his usual bass sound... I may say I was a bit disappointed because JW was not playing but, hey...

Greg does a great job in the circumstances. It’s often commented how he’s using a teleprompter but I’ll give him a pass on that given he was a new member playing a TV simulcast.

The band are full of energy and the remixed audio is really good… but you can get it on CD for £12 which is a massive difference from £100.

It is a great concert on CD .... once you get past the first song (Time Again) which is in mono, and also sounds awful. Surprised a better sounding source wasn't found for this track.

Manufacturer isn’t replying. Amazon have said they will refund me.
