No one says you have to listen to the entire set in 1 sitting. If you're only going to play your favorites then why buy it. I'll be listening to each disc start to finish over a period of time. I did the same with the Budokan and Rolling Thunder releases. Savor each one, it's not homework. I agree Bob must have felt a bit intimidated at playing stadiums after an 8 year absence from touring. He sounds like he has a train to catch as soon as the concert is over. I like that he's concerned enough to put so much effort into his performances. I've seen him live twice, the 1st time he had on a cap and a hood pulled over it, it was hard to recognize what song he was singing. The 2nd time a few years later he was excellent, his guitar work was impressive too.

Adding RL mastered Heartbeat City - The Cars 😮

I have listened the MFSL compact disc in a friend's of mine home! He is a collector and big fan of Michael Jackson. MFSL compact disc sounds awesome. The MoFi Vinyl is ok comparing to other re-releases from 70s and 80s artists, but better is the MFSL compact disc. All new remastered compact discs and vinyl re-releases from oldies, have extreme loudness and distortion, lack of dynamics, so bassy sound like have cut much high end, comparing the first pressings of cds and vinyls!

Congrats on a well thought out review. TFC is clearly a Waters solo and clearly a first attempt. Pro's & Con's and Amused are much better albums. TFC in my opinion isn't a top 10 Floyd record. But there is something very special about this album. Water's has always worn his heart on his sleeve and it shines on TFC, specifically with his lyrics. The music is lacking, compared to any other Pink Floyd album. But for whatever reason, it works. I've listened to TFC more times than any other Floyd record and always first track to last track. It's the only Floyd album that I have on Cassette, CD, Vinyl and ITunes. But I can't explain why, other than it makes an emotional connection to me and many others.

Agree with the earlier post, AC/DC Back in Black. I found a nm Columbia record club pressing side 1 is a typical record club pressing, super clean, clear, dynamic. Side 2 is stamped RL, when the first bell gongs for Hells Bells hits, OMG, no doubt it’s a RL press, religious experience!

Wow, thanks so much for the heads-up on this! Seems like this may have been the inspiration for the Toy sessions, which I absolutely love. Can't wait to check it out... Thanks again!

Great video!! What do you think of the earlier albums Tone Float, Kraftwerk, Kraftwerk 2 & Ralf und Florian?

It seems that the best pressing would be the Monarch 1st pressing... you confirm? It will be my first Doors album and I would like to have a great sound (too bad if the condition of the cover is not too new)

You mean 50th birthday?

in the wee hours of the morning is my favorite sinatra album and my favorite song off of it is “ can’t we be friends “

Great picks! I'd have to add Scary Monsters & Super Creeps & maybe 1. Outside. In any case it's almost impossible to pick only 5 Bowie albums.....

Great video! I want to recommend 2 vinyl releases to you. Medieval Death LP and free DVD and the Mordicus “Rights ‘n Trials” LP. If you want to know more Google [Medieval Death LP and free DVD + Mordicus “Rights ‘n Trials” LP], then check audio, videos etc. \m/

we will get a review of 99 paris show? personally i love this concert

what about the 80s tomato pressing?

I totally agree regarding with the first pressing of "Like A Prayer". The CD sounds spectacular too, but the vinyl is brilliant. Ditto the same comments for Brother's In Arms, although the first pressing is so edited down from the CD & cassette versions, including the long intro to Money For Nothing & Your Latest Trick.

What a really nice surprise to see the appreciation for Waylon Live! IMO is the best live album of all time. The Expanded Edition is completely unreal, I get goosebumps in so many songs, especially the ending jams of songs like This Time, Freedom to Stay, T for Texas and Never Been to Spain.

You lost me when you left off Frampton Comes Alive. You have room for U2 but not Frampton? Come on. That's just foolishness.

100% agree. Got the RSD press and it’s sublime. Loving all your videos. Keep it up. 😎

Curious, have you listened to the Japanese pressing? I have one and have marveled at it’s dimension and warmth. Super quiet vinyl.Thx

It's an essential addition any Bowie collection ❤

Hearing someone talk about Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds with the affection they deserve, melts my heart. Thanks for sharing! Ghosteen has a part of my soul, I wouldn't mind giving the whole.

LOL

It's elevator music. I kind of liked the title track, but it's more of the same.

Bought it, love it❤

Regarding Led Zep II and The Band S/T: both albums had a bit of controversy regarding Bob's mastering. As vinyl was the primary source for music in the very late 60's and very early 70's, both of those albums were a bit too dynamic for the many cheap record players that were in people's homes. These pressings made the stylus pop out of the grooves for being a bit too dynamic. Led Zep II was given to Bob Ludwig for a second mastering (so he did that album twice). Both mastering's are superb. Capitol records had the album remastered by a different engineer but continued to use the Ludwig masters for quite a while. Both records are easily trackable on modern turntables.

I love it. Very exciting shows & it seems like the energy keeps building until we get to the legendary Rolling Thunder shows. Levon & the band are a powerhouse. This whole era seems like a creative explosion.

Frankly I find it boring. Before the Flood ain't a great record.

I have an RL pressing of Def Leppard Pyromania that sounds great! I just last week finally got my hands on an RL SS copy of Zeppelin 2!

Cha Cha isnt an live album. 🤷

All Bob no Band Tracks and not a lot of differences between the shows and set lists. Don't think the band or Bob are off form on any of these discs.

No matter your opinion, at about $5 per disc, the price isn’t too bad. Personally, I prefer the best performance of every song should’ve been released as an encapsulation of the tour.

I call it a corporate shafting of Bob Dylan fans, no different than how they stick it to Hendrix fans.

My personal top 5 would be Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins The Bends - Radiohead To Bring You My Love - PJ Harvey Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version - Ol' Dirty Bastard Labcabincalifornia - The Pharcyde I used to play DÁngelo a lot, but I haven't done that for years. A close one that didn't made it is Infernal Love by Therapy?

Awesome, eclectic list - really like the mix. Honestly not many VC hosts would have Lee Morgan, Killing Joke and Jonathan Richman in the same list! But dude your Jonathan Richman imitation needs real work. 😊 “Forest Flower” from Charles Lloyd was indeed performed at the famous Monterrey Pop Festival I would suggest “Dig the New Breed” from the Jam as a European entrant …. oops, the Jam isn’t European as they are a UK band. Sorry I am an idiot American. We might even consider Canadian artists European. Just kidding, we consider them American. Sorry I can’t agree with the Miles Davis “Live Evil” - I would have picked any 2nd great quintet set. But this isn’t my channel - it is yours. Love your channel.

Excellent selection. I was very surprised that Udo Jürgens is in your list. He was a wonderful artist that I adore, even though it's not really my kind of music. I saw Hermann Brood live in his best time here in Hannover. Incredible power and stage presence. By the way "dein Deutsch ist wirklich exzellent". If I may recommend another incredibly good live album: Joe Bonamassa - Live at Greek Theatre. Greetings from Lower Saxony🇩🇪✌

I despise the track 1984. Really can't stand it. Very hit or miss album for me. Daimond Dogs itself is one of the good tracks of course.

Does anyone know how this 2021 Metallica remastered black album compares to the 2014 blackened by Chris bellman or the 2008 by Chris bellman? Both are highly rated as well. Great list but there is one obvious record missing. Back in black!!! AC/DC! Led Zep II is hot!!!!

The Bass on Money!

another stamp collector

Hi, nice video! Can you please direct me to the articles that say Robery Ludwig mastered The Doors lps? Thanks!

You are verrry generous with your critics 😂😂😂 I thought it was just ringtone the album…

The OGs are fantastic. I would recommend you only get the OG of all of his lps. Easier said than done but worth it if you are a super fan

The good son, The boatman's call and No more shall we part are the best in my opinion, then the others

Fantastic. You need to interview him

I think old Bob is a genius. I've been listening to his music since 1964. So, for me it's the first album up through John Wesely Harding, with Blood on the Tracks and Desire later. And that's about it. Obviously, he's made many other fine records, but none of them reaches the heights of his earlier stuff, especially his 1960's recordings. Each release breaks new ground. Not just new ground for him, but for the entire music industry and the way we listen to and consider music. As for this box, as to paraphrase Mr. Dlyan, I'm gonna let it pass. All that I've typed is of course my considered opinion, nothing more.

Life is too short to care about this.

shut up

Extraordinarily good video. NIGHTFLY: The mastering of the standard cd, manufactured by polygram in Hannover, is mastered too by Bob Ludwig. And it sounds really good. Some of your favorite ludwig-discs, I also own, billy joel, steely dan etc. what do you think about kevin grey and jan erik kongshauk (ecm label)?
