Not quite, Chris. The Deluxe edition has more dialogue and a vastly inferior mastering.

So, who's right?

[JWB]

I am goddamnit! The deluxe edition has an expanded Disc One and it was mastered by Jon Astley. The single disc was mastered by a professional.

There's a bit more dialog on the DE. The mastering is a bit different - not as horrible as disc 2, but it isn't the same as the 1995 disc.

My first Who thread!

Luke ought to be mailing you your decoder ring and secret FLO handshake instructions right about now.

[krabapple]

I accept Luke as the authority on all things Whoish. So JWB wins this round.

FWIW, I ahve the first remaster of LOL -- am totally happy with that, not terribly interested in a complete live Tommy yet.... but I've never quite understood -- isn't there a hunk of Tommy in 'My Generation;' as well? Was that just something the Who did back then -- reference Tommy in other songs? Or was that an edit?

I can claim one bit of Who glory (or ignominy) over you pups...I saw the "Tommy" movie in NYC the first week it opened. I remember it being COLD as FUCK waiting on line outside the Zeigfeld theater.

I didn't get around to seeing them live until the re-toured 'Quadrophenia'
in the 90's.

See if you can get hold of the b**tleg of the unfutzed with tapes to hear the show with tape hiss, clicks etc. The whole concert is great.

If you're a member of Pedro's, there is a FLAC version of the 2-disc set there. For "evaluation" purposes only, of course.

But I bet you didn't line up to see Lisztomania, now, did you?

Was it in glorious "quintaphonic" sound, krab?

That 5-channel mix is pretty cool, actually. Better than the movie.

They play a bit of See Me, Feel Me/Listening To You as well as some of Sparks. That's just the way they played it. On the bootleg there's a lengthy intro by Pete stating how they mix a bunch of stuff together for "one great huge deaf, deafinin din".

And did you feel hotter or colder after seeing Jack Nicholson singing and Ann Margret rolling around in baked beans?

Alas. no.

I felt a bit ill. Really, I was mainly there to see Elton John. I was a big fan back then. Much more so than of the Who.
