Re: Duran Duran DVD

Same here Jason, I'm only buying them for the DVD content.

Re: Duran Duran DVD

Just letting you know that Foxtel's music max channel is showing season 2 of Songbook Tuesdays at 9.30pm. First up is Duran Duran, for those who missed it on ABC.

Re: Duran Duran DVD

I recieved these two deluxe album. I am sad to say that the news you have heard about how bad the sound quality is true. The music has been mixed very loudly and very compressed. All i can say is keep your original CD versions, the remasters from 7 years ago,the singles box and the night version compilation. The only thing good about these deluxe sets are the DVD's and the packaging.

Re: Duran Duran DVD

Sounds like they've tried to make it more "modern" but in doing so they've destroyed the dynamics of the orginal mix.
Louder does not = better.

Re: Duran Duran DVD

Got the DVD and watched it today.

My word this DVD is THE best DVD ever!... Just so many RARE things on it and the quality is IMMACULATE!

A MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Duran Duran DVD

The DVD on these Deluxe editions are great. It was good to see the 'Friends Of Mine' video, as i had only seen it on 'Youtube'.

Re: Duran Duran DVD

I know... "Friends Of Mine" clip is AMAZING!

So nice to have a CLEAR copy after the blurry You Tube upload...

The quality of the videos and performances are crystal CLEAR, WOW !

I am over joyed and the Old Grey Whistle Test footage is so SUBLIME *** Those performances are so AMAZING. They sounded BRILLIANT live from day one!

I must say that the Demo's sound fine to me, they don't sound badly remastered!

I haven't listened to the actual album remastered yet, as the DVD is what I wanted the most. The Post Cards and Poster is STUNNING!

Re: Duran Duran DVD

LOVE the DVD content and the packaging is GREAT. Hope all the rest of the re-issue's have the same goodies. I don't think the demo's have been touched as much as the main stuff. The rockier version of 'Girls on Film' is an interesting listen.

Re: Duran Duran DVD

have you guys seen this before?

Re: Duran Duran DVD

Yes Michael, the Classic Albums: Rio dvd is great.

In fact I first noted this in the first thread on this topic:

"I should also mention the Classic Albums DVD focussing on the Rio album is great too - although I did miss Andy Taylor's input - but never mind the rest of the band were very enlightening."

I've seen it a few times since then and still find it interesting.

Hopefully Duran Duran will come back here soon, they're always great value for money.

Re: Duran Duran DVD

Not sure if anyone is interested but ABC 2 are replaying the Duran Duran Songbook 2 parter currently that was shown on ABC 1 earlier this year. Part 1 was last week and part 2 tonight after Jools Holland.
