What's Donald Trump doing on the petra zone again? I just had to deal with the fact that Canada gets another four years of Justin Trudeau, seems like I just can't avoid politics wherever I go

Hey the girls in our family never talk about politics and that's what we ended up talking about on the way home from the dentist

Re: "Beat the System" Release Date Controversy
I'm not sure you're right about the VHS. The video might be from a single show, but the audio is definitely from the album mix because it is note-for-note identical.p-freak wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 1:52 pmWrong. The vinyl version is the intermediate version between the cassette and the CD. The CD was heavily cut down to fit 74 minutes, and there were no such rigid constraints with the vinyl version. The European vinyl version has Greg's speech at the end of the concert cut out, so not all vinyl versions are identical.Mountain Man wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 9:15 pmFinally, there's the vinyl version which I've never heard but I understand is even more trimmed down than the CD
Regarding the VHS, you have to remember that the audio was recorded at three different shows, while the VHS was captured at one show. So there are bound to be differences between the VHS and the audio versions.

Obama was mentioned first, then Trump returned (my fault ). It is on topic to the extent that it is going to be interesting to see if Trump can beat the system.George Harrison wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 6:20 pmWhat's Donald Trump doing on the petra zone again?

The video is clearly from one show. Same room, same audience, same clothing.Mountain Man wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 7:36 pmI'm not sure you're right about the VHS. The video might be from a single show, but the audio is definitely from the album mix because it is note-for-note identical.
They might have dubbed the video with the best audio, but I sincerely hope they didn't do that. I would just assume that the bits that are present on the audio version and not on the video version are the bits from the other shows. And also, if a band plays the same show day after day, I'm not that surprised if two recordings from two consecutive days sound note for note the same.
Regarding my earlier comment that the NOTW tour finished in August, that's not true. There was a short leg from Sept to Nov after that. So that fits into the BTS Jan. 85 story.

Re: "Beat the System" Release Date Controversy
If Beat The System is from 1984,
Just my thought ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and Captured in Time and Space is from 1985, that could mean that Beat The System was released in 1984, and they had some tours in 1985, which would've been recorded for CITAS, right?Just my thought ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: "Beat the System" Release Date Controversy
I'm certain they did dub in the album audio on top of the video recording because the VHS/DVD audio is not merely similar but literally identical. The crowd noises, Greg's inflection and nuance, his mid-song comments (such as "Now everybody on this one" during the intro for "More Power To Ya", or "We're gonna praise the Lord, everybody, now come on!" during the lead in to "Let Everything That Hath Breath"), everything is exactly the same with the exception of whatever edits were made depending on the version.p-freak wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 5:43 amThe video is clearly from one show.

Re: "Beat the System" Release Date Controversy
CITAS was recorded in late November 1985, no way it was released in the same year, so I wouldn't put too much stock on the years in Bob's book.Diehardpetrafan:) wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 8:51 amIf Beat The System is from 1984, and Captured in Time and Space is from 1985, that could mean that Beat The System was released in 1984, and they had some tours in 1985, which would've been recorded for CITAS, right?

This should be definitive proof.
From the January 1985 industry trade Musicline magazine by CCM.

Re: "Beat the System" Release Date Controversy
Take a look at this review of BTS from Musicline (industry mag of CCM in 1985) What do they mean there is no trademark Ballad on BTS? What do you call "Hollow Eyes".

Re: "Beat the System" Release Date Controversy
Hollow Eyes is definitely a ballad. One of Petra's saddest imo.
