Wow a PPG Wave. Really makes my hearth beat faster. So much better than any real porn.

[Brian Griffin]

Just checked this out, and it's what you'd expect

Sounds about as "good" as the DVD of the show

Is the sound quality really that bad?

[Big Ears]

I would prefer it if they released the full Royal Albert Hall show from 1993.

Didn't they include it on one of the Bootleg boxsets?

[grego]

When else would Emerson going to get chance to draw his daggers ?

[Brian Griffin]

Is the sound quality really that bad?

Yeah, it's pretty rough

It's up on Spotify if you want to check it out

The songs that are ONLY on the DVD like Pirates are as bad as they sounded there, and the common ones from the muti-tracks seem to somehow have been dirtied up a bit so they sound almost as bad

You can easily hear which are from the cassette, and which are the multi-tracks

[JKL2000]

I wonder if they've figured out yet how to correct that anemic bass tone Lake had.

Kick 'im in the nuts I'd think, eh?

Hmm, it must be the Royal Albert Hall show from 92 (not 93) that I was thinking of that's on the third volume of the bootleg box series. I think I read somewhere that it was the only place where you could get the entire show in one place.

So what's special about the one from 93, then?

So what's missing from the RAH dvd?

[GuitarGeek]

Dunno, I don't have the VHS or DVD, and Wiki doesn't have the setlist for the video release.

[Rufus]

Dunno, I don't have the VHS or DVD, and Wiki doesn't have the setlist for the video release.

OK, I have the 5:1 DVD somewhere. Need to check if its the same as the CD!

[Big Ears]

I stand corrected, the 1993 release is the 2nd October 1992 recording/broadcast. The 1993 CD did not have Pictures at an Exhibition, while the DVD had a shortened version. I haven't heard the official bootleg.

[R_burke]

Yeah, it's pretty rough

It's up on Spotify if you want to check it out

The songs that are ONLY on the DVD like Pirates are as bad as they sounded there, and the common ones from the muti-tracks seem to somehow have been dirtied up a bit so they sound almost as bad

You're actually being too nice, pretty rough is an understatement. The SQ on this is terrible, other than the $ I can't imagine why anyone would release this. The liner notes include Keith's excuses for why it sounds so bad. I bought it, and after listening to it twice (once with headphones) I put it in my trade/sell pile.

[GuitarGeek]

Y The liner notes include Keith's excuses for why it sounds so bad.

Which are?
