Hi,

When the film came out, there were a couple of places that had the show in Quad ... so at least many of us had that experience. Having had the privilege of seeing them at The Hollywood Bowl in Quad, made seeing this film a must ... but sadly, it was too late, and the majority of DSOTM folks were not exactly a bunch of PF fans that had enjoyed some nifty things, prior to DSOTM days.

I only wish that there was a way that those shows could be shown on DVD, or CD, with more than just the Stereo tracking ... to see this in a QUAD environment, at least, would make the music stand up a lot better and I suppose that this release will get closer to things, but not for me ... seeing The Wall in Quad when it came out, and then RW's version in the worst stereo mix ever ... is about ruining a band's legacy ... but I am not sure that the "fans" ever gave a damn about the QUAD thing ... everytime I mention it, it's like ... what is that? ... or totally ignored, which suggests that the experience was way beyond what a lot of fans have ever, or will ever, see and hear!

What's the point?? 

Hi,

... a nice home movie ... per Nick Mason.

Pretty much all of the film, is available (or was!!!) in various bootlegs, with the only things cut out being the DSOTM stuff, which, in my book, was not necessary, but gave the band a new look at their future.

I loved it THEN, as I said, and missed the QUAD on it ... but I don't think this release can come close to helping me feel that again. I have not met headsets that can do quad at all, and my cartridge on the turntable is not the best for tht kind of quality. If I could afford it, the cartridge I wanted is about $450 bux ... but worth every penny of it, in what you hear.

I think SW is working on trying to get closer to that QUAD thing with his new album ... assuming it comes out really well and not just a bunch of songs, that ... don't mean much otherwise. His lyrics are a bit on the tiresome side for me and have not stood out for at least 10 to 15 years.
