More later, but these discs do show that songs from "Long Road Out of Eden" and "The Long Run" albums do have 5.1 mixes somewhere for many of the songs.
So "The Long Run" is the only almost-complete song on this disc? Everything else is edited or talked-over, I assume?
The 5.1 mix on the song fragments is very impressive. The "Long Road Out of Eden" tracks especially sound great and its a shame they never released that double LP in 5.1. Sure, there are clunkers on it, but one could make a great 5.1 DVD-A out of the good tracks.
I love it when the artist/producer takes the time to create a real 5.1 mix for a project like this. There are so many that just upmix some tunes and proclaim a "STUNNING SURROUND MIX" that isn't. This one gets a 10 for the program mix from me.
The concert is not that great a mix, but they probably didn't have multitrack masters from this old concert. The rears are mostly crowd, and the fronts are basically wide stereo with very little direct placement. Sounds good though!
Are " The Long Road Out Of Eden tracks, just snippets, or any full songs ? I love the album.
related tangent Rob, have you got the DTS CD of Don Henleys "The End of The Innocence"? if you haven't you must get it, it's gorgeous.
I was going to buy it sometime ago, Adam ? It was available on Amazon, at a reasonable price....I think it's more pricey & harder to find now ??
Gorgeous ?....of course that's down to the masters !...Mr David Paich & Mr. Steve Porcaro !!
haha! sure is! I'll see if I can find it anywhere for sensible money
still comes up every now and then for around a tenner but best I can see is £31 at the min., its really lovely but that's too much (imho).
Thanks Adam, yes I've just seen that. It's $30 on Amazon.com with an indepedant seller....might see if they ship to the U.K. ?

these guys (I think its Larry Klenin?) ship to the UK. I've bought a fair few things from them over the years.
watch out for customs charges though.. I've got whammed every time I've bought from 5.1.com.. That UK @£30 is probably your best bet as by the time you've paid £9 shipping plus minimum £10 duty, it'll be more expensive getting it from the USA.
