I was going to post screen caps with the review, but I have run into some technical obstacles. With luck I'll be able to do that in a couple days.
Let's keep it in perspective, though. The truth is that after the retirement news broke, it seemed likely there would be no final album AT ALL and John and Bob were even considering halting the tour in the spring.No, they gave them the send off they could afford, not what they deserved.
I don't know about that, but there's more than two weeks until the release date, so maybe they're coming.And oh yeah, what happened to the advance copies of the DVD the people who were interviewed were promised?
Hey, I agree with you, man. I wish the solo was on there, but it's not. Regardless, Paul has a lot of great moments on the DVD, including the "stick catch" I described in the review. So you'll still be able to keep some memories alive.I can't believe Paul's solo is not on it. Wasn't that one of the big reasons John said they wanted to do this was to give the new guys an opportunity to show the industry their stuff? .... I was hoping to have that on the DVD for memory's sake since it wasn't one the CD.
I'm fairly sure it is. I'll go back and check, just to be sure.superfly wrote:Josh, so John Lawry's solo is the exact same?
Well, imagine any movie or TV show you watch. The camera actually moves very frequently without you realizing it. One shot will be a closeup of someone talking. Then the shot will change to a closeup of the person's friend, who is listening. The dialogue continues uninterrupted. Most folks don't really register the change because it's natural.How do they cut it when you can SEE it happening...is that when they use the full screen of static you mentioned? And how about between Creed and Right Place? You can tell listening to the CD that it's not a natural progression.
It's not excessive, but I think it was unnecessary.You mentioned a lot of black and white with the Acoustic Set with some rehearsal scenes...that sounds a lot like the preview of the DVD we were shown a while back.
I'll have to check my notes at home. (I'm at work now) I think everything is under 2 hours.How long is the DVD with the extras? If they cut things that were already short to begin with (Bob's solo), then they must have filled this DVD to the max. I'm expecting 2 1/2 hours at least?
Sounds to me like someone does not know how to properly author a DVDThe special features have some oddities. When you reach the end of any of them, rather than return you to the Special Features menu, another special feature just starts up. Pressing the "Menu" button on the remote during any of the features takes you to the disc's Main menu, not the Special Features menu..
