New DS Live Box Set, 3rd November 2023!

[dustyvalentino]

Guy makes a throwaway reference to overdubs on OTN!

Also, fake stereo on TOL from Live at the BBC, urgh. I thought this died out in the 70s.

Thanks

Interesting history

"Technically, the Rainbow show was as well recorded as everything in this collection (apart from TOL on Encores)".
What does he mean?? There is no TOL on the Encores, does he mean TOL 92, which would be badly recorded? The only track I really care about???

I think he means TOL from BBC, he just explained in the part before

Me too... Im really hyped for TOL 92...

JF said it was good..

[Vesper]

The full Alchemy concert will be available November 1st. I reckon it's the complete 2010 Blu-ray version

It now says November 8th.
I'm hoping the new songs are on this video version as well.
It says full live concert so I guess so...

Correct. 

Nice tribute to Jack Sonni but it would've been even nicer to include something with him playing in the box itself as a proper lasting tribute.

No word about the Alchemy mess...

I have to admit I zoomed out when this started to be discussed here and the number of pages sprouted away. Is there some kind of summary about this?

I try: someone would better have a bonus disc with the outro of Portobello live and all the mistakes of Phil Palmer, loud as they can be. Not that big market, I guess...

No one wants to hear Phil Palmer's errors but just a normal version without problems.

Guy Fletcher mentions meeting with Pick Withers. I wonder if he consulted anything with David.

saying the box is dedicated to Jack Sonni, while the box dosen't contain any BIA tour recording is a bit odd imho...

I thought the same, it's quite a ridiculous statement.

The only way they could have done that is by starting this project all over again. It took years before they were able to release these recordings. Even pressing the vinyl takes months so it’s impossible to add a BIA tour recording last minute into the box set. A pity of course, but there’s no one to blame here…

That's right, but why does Guy say this is dedicated to Jack Sonni when the only tour he was involved in doesn't even feature? It's just a bizarre statement.
He could've simply said "we will miss him very much" or something like that. But it's just a small detail, I suppose

It is weird listening to Industrial Disease after OUATITW and although nice to hear it isn't up to the standards of the original release.It almost sounds like some of it comes from an audience recording.The next song EL sounds much better.
