Ok, so I got up yesterday morning at 6 a.m., put the coffee on and took the dog out. I sat down with my headphones on and set the audio to LPCM and started the DVD. Audio was again awesome. REALLY love the audio and sound of this live disc.
Sigh.....but the video. Man. I went into this with an open mind for sure. The video was just really hard to watch. I would have to guess that 90 to 95 percent of the entire concert had special effects and color saturation and inverts and overlays. It was just a lot happening. I remember as I was watching Ghosts (which is really one of my favs on the entire new cd) I was thinking, this would be a great stand alone video. I had the feeling, to a lesser extent with Out of the Sunrise.
There's a lot to like about the DVD aside from the graphics and such. I liked some of the cut shots that were used between songs....Galen tuning his guitar and Joe getting his cable plugged in while grabbing picks off the amp. Crowd was really into it. Unfortunately for me personally I don't think I could ever sit and watch this start to finish again. I could definitely let it play in the background or without the tv on. I really like and can appreciate what the meaning of this was all about. And I have to give it up the editor....this had to have been a MASSIVE undertaking.
Unfortunately for people like me who live in a place where Joe never plays, I really like these DVD's to get the "concert experience," which was completely missed on this one. The energy was washed away with graphics.
All in all however, I gained mountains of new respect for Joe on fronts. 1.) I think it took a lot for Joe to stick to his guns on this project. Surely he knew after watching the final cut that this was such a different approach and the it would be received with a lot of mixed emotions. I can respect that and really appreciate that. 2.) After watching the interview, which was very good by the way, I really gained tremendous respect for Joe after hearing the story about him getting offered a lot of money to play with a band. It entailed him painting his face and doing things that he didn't believe in and ultimately turned down the gig and a chance to become really famous. I really love the fact that integrity was chosen over a payday. It's not just music and talent that puts Joe a notch above any other rocker out there...IMO.
Overall I'm glad I have the DVD and it was well worth the 14.99 I paid and the extra 40 some odd miles I had to drive to get it. My hopes will be that in a year or 5 years or 10 years...an anniversary edition of this concert will be done as just a plain concert video without the effects.

Hybes - thanks for sharing your review. I thought the IJWR vid on YouTube (still waiting for the DVD) was fine, nice and glossy, mostly the stage LED, little sparkles from Joe's hat and the great sound. Lotsa fun and energy.
Are the other songs very different from IJWR?

I wonder if it's going to go quiet in here for the next 5 hours lol
Got a highly sugary ice cream and fruit concoction in order to try and stay awake for the 'footy'. I'm going with the Saints, think it would be cool if they took it....
.... but none of them are Miami : (
Wahoo, but I just got to see some Marino anyway : )
Our commentary team has got Alex Smith in the studio. Cool. Looks kinda small for a QB though.
Michelle - sending good vibes to you & your mum.
Anibur - I heard the same, we're due another run of it. Could be entertaining.
Cube - any chance of a rough summary of the convo with Joe?
Rialton - same to you - any chance of a summary of the Joe chat? Looks like your mission is succeeding
Here we go then, game underway....

Chee, I know, bats are like flying hamsters...well, at least that's what I try to tell myself. lol! We bought a bat house, paid $500.00 to seal the cracks between the roof & house, played loud music in the attic...Henry lubs us. he just won't go away. lol!
I laughed the hardest for the Dockers commercial with the guys in their underwear, and whatever the "casual day at the office" commercial was. The Puxatawny Polamalu commercial rocked too!
Pip, hugs to ya!
WOOOOOOOOOO! Nice Who halftime show!! The boys are getting up there, but *F* it - they rock! Roger nailed the scream too! Almost brought tears to my eyes...or was that the tequila? LOL!!
Anyways - party on Wayne!

Congrats to the Saints!
Another day of work at the guitar store: Tuning & polishing the guitars. I did make a few sales on some guitar accessories.
I saw the game, while bartending at Red River (was asked to fill in).
The underdog prevailed. Best moment of the game, Drew Brees getting emotional while he's holding his son.
Michelle: Don't drink too much now, but continue enjoying New Orleans' victory. Prayers to your Mom. Just saw your post about her. Hope she's feeling better; maybe with the Saints' victory, that should make her feel better.
Now with the Super Bowl being done, let's all focus on Joe jamming with The Roots Crew on Jimmy Fallon Monday night.
Chat with you all later. Maybe I'll join the chat room tomorrow; don't know yet.
My first run/race of 2010 is next Sunday.
Grant

Skippygirl - Yes, a great portion of the DVD had effects of one sort or another. I'm sure, and of course hope, that you watch it with an open mind like I did. I wasn't going to let any opinions stop me from watching and getting out of it what I needed too. The sound was the best yet. Gave the best "live" vibe. It's a notch above LISF.

Yay..... Saints!!!!!!! I really enjpyed that game. I luv it when the underdog wins...........
Watched alot of LIP DVD yesterday and today..loved the interview, it's informative and interesting. I am enjoying the DVD....but to be honest I havn't been able to watch it all at once due to time limitations.
But for the most part I am totally taken with it, as I am with most things Joe..........
The sound of the recordings and the way Joe played just blows me away..............

Great game...congrats to the Saints! What a great way to start the second half, with that onside kick...wow!
I thought the Who were OK. The halftime shows have all been pretty similar the past few years...I think next year they should shake things up a bit, somehow, but that'll never happen.
I'll catch up on posts tomorrow...and still no LIP in my mailbox, argh...
