rte late late show cd/dvd
« on: December 08, 2008, 05:35:24 AM »
on the news cd and dvd releases there is also another song with u2 involved. it is "the auld triangle" performed by "entire cast" with u2 too... so we will have 2 songs for the first time on audio, while the dvd will replace the old rte vhs released at the time...

I ordered both the CD and the DVD and they've been dispatched.  Should have them in a week or so.

The DVD won't work in U.S. NTSC players, so I'm screwed there but I'm buying the CD on Wednesday, when I get paid.  Thanks for the info on the 2nd U2-related track...

It should play fine on any computer with a DVD drive.

I am in the pal zone but I have several ntsc dvds and I never had problems with my standalone player... I think the new players can read every format so I am sure you can play pal dvds...

True, but I don't want to be trapped to a PC/laptop for a title where audio is so important.  As long as I have the audio on CD, that'll do.

I'm no fool about this kind of stuff; I assure you I've done the research and my Sony DVP-S7000 DVD player and my Blu-ray capable Playstation 3 both are NTSC only.  Thanks for the hopeful thoughts, nonetheless...

Hey, thanks for the scan.  Saves me the trouble of doing it myself.

I just got my CD and DVD yesterday.  I was hoping that the sound quality would be a little better, but it sounds like there's some distortion in the original recording.  Not much to be done about that, I suppose.

Well I thought I'd ordered the cd, but I received the DVD.  ???

At least I got to see "The Auld Triangle" for the first time.

Does anyone else think Bono looked somewhat subdued for this show?

Was he feeling poorly? A bit intimidated by all those venerable musicians sitting to his left watching?

the audio is also in mono, this is how rte taped and broadcasted it... anyway it is better than the one from the old official vhs...

I bet it's that very thing...U2 was still a few days away from owning the world at that point...
