Put on the DVD 3 of the Biggest Bang set and go to Buenos Aires, choose Satisfaction and go right to Keith's solo, around 3'. Then you realize that Keith is very very very low in the mix. This point is the same all along the DVD. Saitama, Shanghai and Buenos Aires. I almost can't hear Keith what is problematic IMO. By the way, the only good songs on this set are on DVD 4, others are overdubbed too much for me

So two questions : Is just my DVD which got a problem ? In the case it is not, why did they do that??? I would say Keith is still playing good things in this solos; at least he plays the riffs well, so why the hell is it so low in the mix?

Go to the sound settings and choose the normal stereo instead og dolby surround 5.1 etc. That could be the problem.

Keith is (good to be) anywhere.

This is a common issue for folks with the ABB DVD. The default sound setting is 5.1 and you have to remember to select the 2.1 channel stereo sound track.
[Which sounds altogther better, regardless of the mixing levels]

The Rio show is very good in my oppinion, are there overdubs on this DVD?I do not think there are too much on the Rio disc.

I thought the Austin show was the only one with overdubs,

The Rio show is excellent. I had heard quite a few negative comments about that performance before I saw it so I was expecting a pretty average show, but I was pleasantly surprized. One of the better performances I've heard/seen by the Stones in the last couple of years.

I don't know about the overdubs though.

Rio was superb. What a great night that was, watching that show online

They rose to the occasion in style. No other band on the planet could have pulled off an event like that. Maybe not the greatest show of the entire tour (although certainly a fine one), but the high point of the entire tour. Maybe even the high point of this decade for the Stones.

I don't know how they managed to botch up the surround sound in this day and age.For one thing,why is there no 7.1 surround sound track?This is unfortunate for those with surround sound systems.

Surround sound my arse ! ;^).

It's the movement towards AV and digital surround sound that's responsible for the industry completely forgetting how to make a proper stereo recording of music !

Go to YCAGWYW, and mind the vocals just before the fast part of the song. Sound like they were 15 people to sing, or more like vocals from album version. This is just one point.

I hope Shine A Light DVD will have a better sound

I still kick myself for not watching Rio online back in 2006. Lucky I got a DVD of it very quickly. It was an awesome show, and I still love watching it. Many warhorses were played that night, and I think it was proved that it's allright to play them every time they want to.

Rio is a really great show. Best one off the BB-dvd, imo.

I don't think that's the reason.Most music is still done in stereo without any consideration of surround sound.The only music really done in surround sound is concert DVD's.Multi-channel DVD-Audio discs and multi-channel SA-CD's are not that common and the old DTS CD's are rare these days.The industry is still dominated by stereo.

I fear too that most of the music on Disc 1 and 2 (Austin, Rio) is NOT coming from concerts but from overdubbing studio sessions

For what matters, I can clearly hear the overdubs on disc 1 and I can't hear any on the Rio show.

Maybe so...but the days of attempting to capture a natural and convincing stereo image with real "air" are gone. Partly I suppose because most digital technology thus far doesn't have the resolution to capture the air anyway ;^)
