Got it at Costco today. Opened it, popped the cd on my car stereo and it was very nice, last time I had heard Fly Like an Eagle had been on an vinyl LP. The cd was of good quality....
Until I got home and popped the bonus DVD. I took it easy, saw the documentary, the video looked horrible on my hd toshiba set. The live concert portion was cute but you can only try to go back 30 years with your voice. The video once again, horrible, then went for the part that I was waiting, the DD5.1 audio only mix...
Fly like an Eagle, track 2. This so far is the best example of channel separation on a music disc that I have ever heard!
The Eagles DVD DTS had been my reference before this particular track, and it pales in comparison, it litterally brought tears to my eyes when i played Fly Like an Eagle, I could swear that the band was right there in the living room. WOW, WOW, WOW.
As for the rest of the DD mix on the other tracks, it does not disappoint. The fidelity is present without adding exagerations to the instruments, very accurate, does not sound like a remaster to me, it was more like what Steve Miller would have wanted the music to be reproduced. The only way would be live. Folks, this one is the new reference of music for Dolby Digital 5.1 music only.
If you like video over music, this package is not for you, but if you want to rock the house and test your surround system limits, you must have it.
Just a word of caution, if you have not properly calibrated your low range, you may find yourself on the market for a new sub, or you will learn the hard way how to setup one to deliver this kind of bass.
Real bass, the foot of the drummer was there.
This is the first time i have felt compelled to write about a recording, it is that good.
PS: I know that my grammar, english and writing is a shame, but that is what happens when you teach yourself a foreign language.
