New Live Release: BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL discussion thread

[jammindude]

I'm actually watching this video for the very first time today.  (I did manage to land a copy of the 1BR/3CD package)   And I have to say that MM is just so much fun to watch.   

But is it just me, or does the audio not precisely match up with the video the MM cam?   It's not the whole video....just the parts where you have the drum cam.   His visuals seem to me to be just a split second off the audio.

It's mostly notable on 6DOIT (the song) and especially the overture. For much of the rest, it's really not terribly noticeable.

6 D's is not on BTFW.

They were talking about Score.

The Orchestra was fine on BTFW, even if mostly lost in the background and irrelevant.

No....I was talking about MM's drum cam on BTFW.

Yes you were. Your post was the first on a new page for me, so I didn't actually see it when I made my response, which was to the convo at the end of the last page about the orchestra being out of tune. My bad dawg. I'm usually too lazy to insert quotes.

[jammindude]

Well, that at least makes it less confusing.

Hey all, new here but I joined specifically for this post. I'm also trying to find the Breaking The Fourth Wall CDs, as they are the only live CDs I don't have a physical copy of. I'd love to get the full set with the Blu Ray, but I wouldn't be upset to just get the CDs since they're so rare. Anyone have a copy that they're willing to sell? Thanks!

No I don't, but welcome to the forum!

Maybe this was already answered somewhere in this thread, but I didn't want to take the time to dig through 50-something pages.

I was watching BTFW yesterday, and I noticed something in the credits that I couldn't explain (this was both in the booklet and the on-screen credits).

The members of the Berklee orchestra had parentheses after their names -- either (Alum) or (BWS) or (E).  I assume "Alum" indicates an alumnus/alumnae, but does anyone know what "BWS" and "E" mean?  I couldn't find any explanation in the booklet, but maybe I overlooked it.

BWS means Berklee World Strings (who were part of the orchestra starting with Illu and onwards). I can't remember what the other abbreviation meant. Sorry.

That makes sense since some (but not all) of the string players have "BWS" next to their names.  13 of the 25 string players have "BWS."  2 are marked as "Alum," and 10 are marked as "E."  8 of the 10 woodwind players and 5 of the 6 brass players are marked as "E" (and the others are "Alum").
