In Reply to: CAUTION: Check this out before buying the sampler DVD because it's probably an enrollment scheme. posted by Audiophilander on December 3, 2006 at 01:36:42:
I doubt that, I do not believe they were multitracked recording, just your old Studder. If they are actual multitrack surround I would buy it just for the Steely Dan performance. But I did hate that show as too glitzy.If In Concert comes out look for me, I am in the Sly and the Family Stone sit on the stage, the Poco "Keep on Trying" front row with two hot girls and many others.
Follow Ups:
In Concert mopped the floor with Midnight Special and their lip-synced, chopped up versions of classics.
with one guitar "Keep on Trying". No tricks, no computers, just George Rusty( maybe?), Tim, and Paul. 2 takes, nailed it one two. Awesome. Sly played live and we sat onstage, the guitar player let me swig wine out of his bottle. I was all 15
I have been getting all of the discs thus far.
The sound is the phony 5.1 with no really differnt sounds coming from the rear or center channels. Of course, I expected not much , but I was hoping for good sound. The sound is so-so, sorta of like old hi-fi video tape sound .
The early years (the first ones sent) had some great live recordings . There is one with Fleetwood Mac. Man, Stevie Nicks looks so young. Still pretty good , but almost jail bait.
In the later years ,(close to 1980) there is more and more lip synch. Really phony at times.
There are only like 10 or 12 songs per disc and to navigate to songs is awkward.
Regardless, If I dont have all the discs, I will cancel after the next one.

The performances of Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" and Aerosmith's take on the old chestnut "Train Kept a Rollin'" are a must have, IMO, as are the original line-up of The Doobie Brothers (w/o McDonald) performing "Listen To The Music" and Steely Dan doing "Reelin' In The Years" live. All in all, I'd say it was about a 50/50 split of interesting footage and that which I could've lived without, but it does make these packages more than marginally interesting, especially if they can be acquired cheaply enough.BTW, while I pretty much agree with all of the comments about the sound quality and visuals, but I have to add in fairness that it's still a notch above much of the videotaped music being restored, repackaged and offered from this time period. Considering that most of us have grown used to high definition and WS presentation in recent years much of this older fare may seem quite limited in resolution even when meticulously remastered from the best available sources! OTOH, when viewed on DVD over a good playback system it will probably look & sound much better than when it first aired.

PS: The total running time of the '73 & '74 discs are around 75 to 80 minutes each (I'm sure that this play-length includes comedy sketches, etc., but '73 has 16 songs including the full length Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" & '74 has 15 songs with a dazzling pre-Toys In The Attic Aerosmith performance). Maybe it's just me and I've only done a cursory check of the other's contents, but I think that these are two of the best "Best Of" years of this program.
