When I saw them in London Gary Husband played drums - nailed Buford and Bozzio's stuff very tastefully. Machacek played amazingly, too. A memorable night...

I do of course envy you.
I did manage to see Gary Husband with Allan Holdsworth on the IOU tour in 1982. Unfortunately, for the UK quartet reunion in 3015, it was Mark Mancina on drums, and frankly he was not qualified to gig with these musicians IMHO. Machacek was spot on with the Holdsworth component and then some!
Now listed on Burning Shed for 19th May release, £20. https://burningshed.com/store/eddiejobson/uk_curtain-call-remaster_dvd_blu-ray
Yep going that way

For god sake, my friends. WTH is that? This sounds muffled, like the audio coming from inside a shoe box. It's reminds me some 56kbps/22khz mp3. Eddie are selling it as REMIXED AND REMASTERED. I'm out. Not the first time Eddie butcher live mixes...
I agree, Eddie should leave the mixing to someone who knows what he is doing. UK Live Night after night by Bob Clearmountain is the only good one 1 know by UK

Its delayed at Amazon... what else is new? Getting used to being the bottom of the barrel minority in Progressive and fusion music immersive releases, this is freaking discrimination of the highest order (incensed after the Camel let down).
I got a shipping confirmation from importcds. I was also suprised to receive the latest from Yes and Marillion on the release date, so things seem to be improving.
I just got this and my jaw dropped to the floor...and in a bad way...
it sounds like there's NO INFO above 6K !!!! and the Stereo is extremely loud and/or the "MCH" is extremely quiet!!!
I want to think that somebody screwed up BIG TIME somewhere along the line...

I enjoyed watching the concert on the bluray and coudn't wait to hear the master audio. Unfortunately I heard it the same as kap. I believe the 5.1 HDMA only uses the fronts and surrounds, no center or sub heard. Still a good value for the price.

Was really looking forward to this and I’m extremely disappointed with the audio on both of the Blu-ray discs. The concert video Blu-ray’s MC audio is only in Dolby Digital and try as I might, I could never achieve a satisfactory sound. The audio only Blu-ray does have a DTS-HD MA MC track but the use of the surrounds is quite anemic and the overall sonics lack clarity and fidelity. Instruments sound muffled and distant. Major bummer dammit!
I just cancelled my pre-order. I guess this is a case where I’m glad Amazon is so far behind than everyone else in shipping this. (Latest date was sometime in July.)
I rarely watch video concerts any more, so it’s gotta be something great for me to sit down in front of the TV.
Based on the impressions so far, and the fact I’m happy with the live albums I have from the Ultimate box set, I probably can live without this one.

Opus audio from the Youtube video (Alaska/Time To Killl):
It barely can reach 9k.

Cancelled, Thanks all for the warning.
Its arrived, and from what people have said it may well be the final 'Curtain Call' for any future UK release purchases by me

Mine arrived yesterday. Playing it now. Oh dear, I don't think this one is getting anymore airtime.
Some folk either just don't get surround or are not capable of producing anything remotely, acceptable.
Shame...grrr

Sounds like an audience recording on a cassette recorder, at about 40 rows back from the stage. In fact I've heard audience recordings that sounded better.
I missed getting to cancel mine by a couple of hours. It was only $21 shipped though so no big loss.

Nowhere near as good as Night After Night Blu-ray, I think the best way of listening to Curtain Call is to watch the video Blu-ray with Dolby 5.1 the Blu-ray Audio DTS-HDMA is terrible.
