I thought the band's performance was excellent, especially Supper's Ready IMO. Not impressed with the 5.1 mix. Thank goodness we have Steve & Djabe's Live in Gyor. I think that is a fantastic mix.

Watched upto foxtrot , am very happy so far, looks good, sounds great
Oh no, double stereo.It was done by an unknown engineer for me: Chris Lord-Alge??? He doesn't live up to his name...
I will know for sure this week.
From his website:
https://www.chrislordalge.com/
My Amazon link say’s currently unavailable and only lists as 3 CD, no Blu Ray?
We've (sort of) gone over this. See posts 9 through 18 on p. 1 of this thread.

Mine is being delivered on Monday from AmazonUS so I'll let you know ..... It was under $20 delivered!
It does not appear to be as vile in 5.1.

That's better. But the rear channels do seem to be pretty much identical to the front channels just at a lower volume.
Received mine today and have listened to the first 4 tracks in 5.1. First impressions: video is excellent and sound quality seems very good - very crankable with no harshness and deep, deep bass and all instruments very well represented. Too early to fully evaluate the surround mix, but so far seems very immersive if a bit front heavy - which seems appropriate for a live concert. The 'The Devil's Cathedral' was a standout with strong keyboard runs appearing prominently in the surrounds making everything sound huge. Looking forward to the rest of it - definitely an excellent follow-up to the Selling England at Hammersmith release.

Can you do the same with the STEREO TRACK from the Blu-ray? Thanks.

My FOXTROT set arrived TODAY from AmazonUS and it was indeed a 2 RBCD/BD~V set for $17.98. Just checked ImportCD's prices and they want $32 + s/h and it's still listed as a pre order!
Am spinning RBCD 1 and the sound is amazing! Can't wait to fire up the BD~V!
He prefers quantity over quality because his surround mix on the Hackett release doesn't bring anything.
Sorry; only just saw this post.

Thank you, Stupy. Very interesting. So, the Stereo Track from the Blu-ray reflects what we all hear in the Youtube videos from InsideOut. Blu-ray look and sound like Chris Lord-Alge nice mix without horrible Mastering by Ted Jensen. No idea why they mastered the CDs...
For me, the big draw on live concert videos is the video footage of the band/artist in action. Sound-only live concerts are never that interesting to me. The video footage on Foxtrot is excellent, with a great mix of wide band/stage shots and ultra clear individual closeups. Definitely better than what you'd see from virtually any seat in the venue. Next in importance is the performance. As with all the Genesis Revisited shows, the technical performance is virtually flawless, giving listeners what amounts to a near studio level run-through of the material. The production/sound quality is also excellent, with every instrument well represented and deep bass present but not overwhelming, and no harshness.
As others have noted, the surround mix is nothing special - there is little or no panning, directionality or specific instrument isolation in the side/rear channels. Rather, it is a mostly ambient mix that does succeed in making the soundstage seem huge. This type of front heavy surround mix is pretty common for live shows, and isn't something I particularly mind as it's probably a pretty good representation of what you'd actually hear in the venue.
We're pretty lucky to have Steve Hackett and his excellent band keep alive the early Genesis material with this level of musicianship and sound quality. Looking forward to the next one in the series - reportedly focusing on the Lamb Lies Down...

Ditto on live material requiring the video to go with it. I hardly ever listen to just the live music by itself.
