Otto Masson Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Saw it last night here in Reykjavík. The volume level was definitely too low during the first couple of songs. It then got better, but it should have been a little louder - and throughout. That's my only complaint though ... The movie is a wonderful document of a marvelous concert, and it was a real pleasure seeing it on the big screen. I am not really sure they ever played Kashmir better than they did on this night - it certainly is the standout track of the gig - but I thought For Your Life and Nobody's Fault were great performances too, and I was really pleased with In My Time of Dying - the better sound, as compared with the bootlegs, made a lot of difference for me there. Just a wonderful evening at the cinema, and one that I will remember. Thanks to the band and everybody who worked to make this film possible.

Bayougal65 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 What amazes me is that the last action film I saw at this same theatre, (The Avengers) , i could feel the bass crash scenes or whatever in my sternum, so powerful that I worried that it might not be healthy! Last night I wanted to feel that power, and did not...the theatre had a major fail! I am complaining right away to the AMC theatre people....and Fathom Events. I don't know what good it will do, but I want a do-over! Loved, loved, loved the film!!!!! .....but the distributors/theatre sucked!!!! ^^^^^ Quoting myself for context purposes.... I just heard from Fathom Events (the distributer at the AMC shows, I am not sure about other chains) and they said they are checking into the situation. I urge all of you that had an issue to contact your theatre and if possible the distributer. We were early so we sat through nearly 45 minutes of Fathom Events bragging infomercials prior to the screening touting themselves as the premier concert and event distributer . I let them know that they dropped the ball on this concert film sound-wise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidZoso Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 At Studio Movie Grill at Town and Country in Houston Texas. At first not as loud for 'Good Times, Bad Times' and Ramble On but by 'Black Dog' almost concert level- nice crunchy but clear LOUD sound. Very impressive.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm really sorry to hear that many of you had issues with the volume! It's a movie depicting such a brilliant CONCERT for goodness sake! Those theatre owners and managers should have known better!! Anyway, I saw the movie at Event Cinemas Queen Street. Needless to say, they did such a fantastic job! The sound was so loud that it was perfect! It was everything that I had hoped for! I could hear every fuckin note being played on that stage if I concentrated hard enough! All in all, a BRILLIANT evening!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I saw the film here in Perth , at the Event Cinema in Innaloo, let me tell you it was ' No Event' the film was great but the sound was just crap, myself and my partner were really looking forward to the film but what could have been a really great night was ruined by a really shit sound system it actually sounded as though it was Mono it was that bad. I have complained to the managment and the holding company (lets see what bullshit excuse they come up with ) perhaps if they had raised the volume it may have "offended" somebody such is the case all over the world now it seems ! and to add insult to injury I paid $50 for the privelege. It was nice to hear Percy mention Birmingham and Worcester (In my mind I could smell the Worcestershire air, lovelly) I lived by Percy , and as I have said in a prev post , he would often wonder around Bewdley and no one would bug him thats the beauty of living in the English country side.

TRic Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Dendy Cinema in Newtown, nowhere near loud enough at the beginning. I had tweeted them the night before asking a few questions so did the same after Good Times Bad Times, and half way through Ramble On it was blasted. Almost ear-piercing but so good. The low end was incredible too, Jason's drums really hit the chest. Definitely not disappointed! From the cinema: "@tomricci no problem. Didn't take into account a room full of people when we did the sound check, but we can feel it from the candy bar now!" Great night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 As I just noted in my review of the concert, we didn't have the volume issues - I maybe noticed differences in terms of how instruments/vocals were matched up on a song-by-song basis, but nothing like what a lot of people have mentioned in their reviews/in this thread.

Lambeau Leap Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I heard about volume issues on here, so before the show I hit up the manager at the snack bar and told her to make sure it was loud enough. She got the message loud and clear, sound was fantastic at Cinemark in Long Beach, CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmtomh Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sound was way too low during GTBT and part of Ramble On. It went up suddenly and quite noticeably about 3/4 of the way through Ramble On. From then on it was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippax Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 No problem in the small theatre in Amsterdam with the sound or the picture. There was an usher walking round for the first couple of minutes talking through a mike to someone who adjusted the sound level.Really good experience.

poortom Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 all cinemas should have had a warning sticker on the can to say "MUST BE PLAYED LOUD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Had sound problems in the beginning of the film, which I saw in CT. It was corrected by the end of GTBT and was perfect the rest of the film. It also helped that a number of us were yelling "turn it up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I don't think I'll go to another music 'satellite feed' show at any theater any time soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I don't blame you. I guess this is all new, but I'm guessing they'll correct this over time as it's a new way of showing films now with this new technology. Sorry, that you and others had to suffer and not experience Celebration Day the way it should have been, with the utmost audio and video capabilities. I was fortunate that there were few problems in the showings I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monitesn Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Yesterday I saw the the concert in Poznan, Poland. First song's sound volume was too low, people were complaining. But, somehow, in the second song, volume was ok. I wouldn't mind if it was even louder, but... you can't have everything you want in this world... I don't know if someone from the audience came to cinema stuff and asked to make it louder, or if it was the stuff themselves, but when the show was over, I came out half deaf and satisfied. But it was AWESOME!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
