My completist, buy everything that comes out mode of operation was first cracked with the release of "Live Licks", which I still can't bring myself to buy due to the awful editing. Then the "Rarities 1971-2003" CD for the bs removal of Wyman from the photo. Next it was the 'Shine a Light' and 'Ladies and Gentlemen' soundtracks (figured I have the films and they are the go-to, but I might go back and get those some day) and now it's this Copa release. If they were to upgrade the entire "Biggest Bang" 4 disc collection, I'd spring for it, but a complete Copa and Salt Lake City (?) doesn't seem like enough to warrant having basically two copies of the same show IMHO....especially if this (albeit complete) version isn't done by Clearmountain. That said, the packaging is thoughtful and well-conceived, with the Bigger Bang album motif on the cover.

Shine A Light is actually a really good release IMHO. Wish I had the vinyl of that. I come back to it with some regularity.

Does anyone know if it will fill the whole screen. Annoyingly with some of the previous releases, even when you buy them in Blu-ray, the picture often seems to “naturally” be calibrated to be clipped off at the sides…so even if you change the aspect ratio the picture is nit that great…help technical wizards who may be out there?

Seems odd that in 2005 they didn't use HD technology. But then again I've heard they recorded ABB on laptops or something like that.

They must've used HD cameras on certain shows just look at the bigger bang blu ray that's not an upscale

The new mix sounds muffled. The original Bob Clearmountain mix was way better.
Yeah it's absurd how a professional mixing engineer can deliver a mix like that. The Bob Clearmountain mix shows that it's not because of the source material - that is just fine. It's really only that Sam Wheat messed it up againQuote
