SOUND MIX ISN'T A FACTOR? WHAT?
Just to comment on what reviewer James Joyce said. "NOT PERFECT SOUND, BUT HEY IT'S LIVE." "THE SOUND MIX ISN'T A MAJOR FACTOR IN IT'S ENJOYMENT." Say what... ? HELLO!!! The sound mix is EVERYTHING!! What are we reviewing here? Silent movies? A Led Zeppelin Bootleg recorded by someone in the back row's single mic cassette recorder? This is a LIVE RUSH DVD recorded in 2003, people. It should be judged by the highest standards. Look, I love RUSH just as much as the next guy, but a band of their high caliber should be putting out music that does justice to their LIVE potential. THIS IS NOT IT!!
It amazes me that audiophiles who are HONEST FANS are vilified by RUSH FANS that are blinded by their love for this great band. Man, I feel your pain. There are actually reviews here on how to tweek the sound. What? I shouldn't have to tweek the sound!! They pay producers a lot of money to mix the sound in a studio. These are probably the same people who put studio monitors in their houses. Me, I'll stick to my warm Infinity speakers. Unbelievable. LET'S BE HONEST PEOPLE. IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK AND QUACKS LIKE A DUCK, IT PROBABLY IS A DUCK.
THE SOUND MIX IS THE ONLY WAY TO JUDGE A LIVE RECORDING.
OPEN MINDED FANS SHOULD ACT ACCORDINGLY. THE REST OF YOU MUST HAVE BOUGHT YOUR AUDIO EQUIPMENT AT RADIOSHACK. Why bother with a review of the sound... ? Buy it anyway. Who cares what it sounds like?
To get your revenge, just click on the NO button.
