Quotedonvis I am not an audiophile but on my Pioneer SACD player, I don’t hear much difference between SACD and CD. There is one famous study that stated only around 49% of test subjects could hear a difference which approaches the probability of chance. That wouldn't surprise me. The amazing sound of the ABKCO remasters may be more of a product of the exceptional DSD remastering than the

Since I have copies of just about everything being discussed here, my thoughts are: ABKCO YEARS: it is a dead heat between the SACDs and the vinyl reissues sourced with the same DSD remasters for sound quality. Of course, a lot of it depends on your system. If you have invested in a nice turntable/amp/speaker setup, I give the edge to the DSD vinyl versions. Nothing compares to the richness

Does anyone have a copy of Time magazine from early in the 81 tour with the Stones review? I believe it had pics from the Philly opener as well as from 81.

Quotekeefriff99 QuoteKennedy Pretty sure I saw evidence of a backing vocal track for Paul too. There is a quite a bit of evidence proving some degree of lip synching on YouTube recently, and it appears to be true. Eddie Trunk talks about this a lot. It's difficult to say so much backing track is being utilized. There are times when Paul's voice is obviously live simply due to the fac

I watched the entire show on persicope last night. The stage was really amazing - bar far the best thing they've done. Not sure it offsets the weak setlist, Paul's voice, and the 2 fake members, but for the right price, the spectacle may be worth it. Low point of the show was Eric Singer singing Beth while seated (not sure if he was really playing) at a grand piano. It was ju

Special guests, new songs, and cover songs are all a waste of a precious setlist spot. Their catalog is too deep and in some eras, still untapped, to be wasting a spot for these gimmicks.

QuoteDan I was looking thru completed sales in Stubhub for San Diego 2015 and someone paid like 4500 each for 8 tickets in the front row. That's why we aren't going to be seeing a pit. San Diego ticket sales were hot because it was the only west coast show of the tour. If I recall, there were all sorts of tickets available at good prices for the rest of the tour.

QuoteDeanGoodman QuoteKennedy You’ll want to connect your eyebrows with a sharpie if you stay in Glendale. Ouch! A little Armenian humor. I quite like the town myself. It's clean, which is more than can be said for the rest of Los Angeles. A lot of Armenian restaurants, obviously, as well as Persian and Middle East. It's also home to the Alex Theatre, subject of a Seinfeld episode.
