Don't go to too much effort. It's one of the crapper concert dvd's. The sound
mix is awful.
I agree. I have both the dvd and the old laserdisc and while both sport
fairly murky sound mixes for live Maiden, the laserdisc is much better.
T.B.
The LD is presumably stereo only. I remember the dvd had a 5.1 DD mix, but it
was horrible. It didn't sound like a great recording to begin with, but whatever
sound elements they had, they weren't adequate for making a real surround mix.
While watching it, you almost feel like you are watching live video footage
synched to audio of the band performing "live" with no crowd. I ended up
preferring the stereo mix on the dvd, but its low-rez (192kbps DD 2.0) and no
great shakes. As big a Maiden fan as I am, I have no desire to ever own this
show. I don't miss it at all.
And then there are the magic act interludes...
