3hrsoflunacy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Best SBD source is Keep Taking The Pills, a remaster by Liriodendron of the When We Were Kings (EVSD) release. I guess I shouldn't answer questions in the middle of the night. The best DVD is EVSD's Demand Unprecedented in the History of Rock Music.

tom kid Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I've got the Cosmic Energy version (the most recent one) very good sound and picture quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM7609 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 100% agreed. Go with the EVSD. It's worth noting that they generally do a good job on their DVDs--even if one can be iffy on their CDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzyEric Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Demand Unprecedented in the History Of Rock Music - EVSD Hmm, when I google this it seems to be audio. Anyone can help point me in direct of DVD it would be greatly appreciated. I have heavy metal kids but it does not have the full 5-25 performance and because of the site it was on the DVD tracks were removed.

Chowder Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 On the subject of EC, I have quite an old DVD of 24.5.75 which has some RAH footage on the 2nd disc, but I don't know what it's called. How much of an improvement is 'King James', and is it complete? (I think mine omits GTC & Moby.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think mine omits GTC & Moby.) its a vast improvment the picture is so clear for most of the dvd the video is mising for g t c but footage from the concert has been edited together to be viewd while the audio runs moby dick is complete there are a few nasty cuts in stairway and a few audio drop outs during the show if you want to see some visual comparisons try this: http://www.royal-orleans.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=38725&start=0 images are near the bottom of the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only skimmed through it, but yes, the definition's much better, although a lot of the colour seems to have been lost. Maybe my old version was wrong, colour-wise - in comparison, it was like watching the show on mushrooms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hrsoflunacy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) The new EVSD release for 1975.05.24 is an improvement in some ways, and a disappointment in others. I wonder if they watched it before they released it. Edited September 23, 2010 by 3hrsoflunacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonfan159 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Any update as to what the superior versions are? Have there been any more releases since the EV "King James" version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolo1974 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I’ve just listened to Keep Taking the Pills and have enjoyed this show like never before. No Quarter is great - I was really into it and then towards the end the audience source kicks in - D’oh’....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonfan159 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I caught the EV "Heavy Metal Kids" on eBay. Why they included half of the 25th is confusing though. Why not add a disc and have a complete set? But then again, maybe this means it's a lower gen copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Can someone please tell me... A ) what night is this? B ) is there a better version film (not counting official of course) as this one seems way above other youtube and available stuff C ) is this whole night available in really great audio and video in a boot? D ) is the whole concert this good? I think this is an outstanding IMTOD. Every one of them is putting in supreme efforts. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckman Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 IMTOD is the only tracks on the official DVD that was culled of the 24th. For the other Earl's Court tracks, the last night was used. The EC video on DVD was synched with audio from the multitrack mixdown. This YT clip is a direct rip from DVD with superior audio. All other boot DVD's from EC May 24 & 25 only feature a monaural soundtrack from the video line feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure the official DVD was a slightly different one - so a different night perhaps. I'll have to get it out and give it a run. I think I have been too immersed in Youtube...

SteveZ98 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Here's Moby Dick from the remaster I did of this show. The upper end sounds pretty similar to the other remasters mentioned above, but the low end is more prominent. If anyone wants the full show, send me a message.
