Thoght I'd share my thoughts,
I first watched it on my TV,and I have to say I was disappointed with the overall sound even after I made alot of tweaks.I rewatched it today on my pc with headphones on the pcm setting,and I was blown away for the most part.
Now a short review;
Act I:
I was a little disappointed with the mix .JL's vocals were too low,JP was too loud.They seemed to have made some adjustments in ActII though.Never cared much for Shattered Fortress or most of that album in general.the beginning of the song was a bit muddied to me.Couldn't make out most of the main riff.but it ended up translating pretty well.The rest of the first set was pure bliss.
ActII:
Like I said they seemed to have fixed the mix in this set.That being said Awake is probably my second least favorite album,but I think the songs came across great live.Did they do some improvisation during these songs?Not sure I don't know them all that well.Illumination Theory was killer in my opnion.
Encore:
SFAM is my favorite DT album so I was real pleased with this set.I wish they would play the entire peice next tour.I think the choir,and orchestra blended great,and actually added to the set.I've often said if Beetoven was alive today his music would sound like DT minus the vocals of course.
Final Thoughts:
Probably my favorite DT video yet.JL"s vocals were spot on.I like that JM is playing pedals!MM is a monster,and it seemed he was alot more comfortable this time out.JR,and JP were amazing as usual.As far as JR's Zen Riffer,Greg Guffria used to use something similar back in the 70'S. Anyone remember that?Anyway I love it!
Last thing.What's up with the damn taxi cab?
