Guitarvibes: That's only because they don't understand the transition or realisation of nirvana.
You see, the internet is one of the first things to really help people understand the universe and their place, the realisation that monks used to find in Koan and meditation.
The internet addict starts to build the same picture of their own insignificance but instead of transcending, they focus on the spam carrying erectile disfunction advertisements.
Instead they should see the ultimate truth and understand what they are. That is, both nothing.... and everything.....
and I don't even take meds....

PS. Hey, I got a really cool old tin sign with the silver surfer on it from the "time machine" shop... Forgot to mention that.

In AWM, AWY on Live In Paris I hear hints of Jeff Beck-style fragile emotional playing during the 'verses'. Góód signs of an ageing, growing guitarist!

Michelle - I know!! I was all over the city last night. It was well worth it though!!
As for listening with the Koss PortaPro's....they do sound great with the cd, however, due to the huge soundstage, you're really better with a full size over the ear headphone. I did listen to 10 tracks with my PortaPros this morning and they all sounded phenomenal. Every detail was shining through crystal clear. They just shrink that huge sound a bit, because they are more of an in your face type of sound.

Peace Lily - LOL. Thanks. There was no way I was not going to get my hands on at least the CD last night. The funny thing was I actaully was trying to time my drive to see how close I would cut it to making my daughter stand out in the cold and dark after dance class. Sigh.....I'm glad she didn't have to wait. lol. She thought I was silly though because I was like a 10 year old boy at Christmas the entire drive home. I was just happy I guess. The music wasn't a shock...it was great just as you can always count on from Joe. The sound just really caught me off guard. Capturing the live vibe like that just wasn't what I was expecting. So it was great and I smiled all the way home! =)

Good morning everyone here are my initial thoughts on the Live in Paris DVD and the hooting and hollering going on about the visuals.
Joe talked about the visual tendencies that the Europeans (I think) have towards music DVD's that being said, we all knew it was coming and the pre-ordering was done anyway. Enough of that onto my happy place.

I have the DVD playing in the living room, and I was just doing dishes in the kitchen. Funny enough, the graphics didn't bother me at all! lol!
Next DVD after this one is MJ - This Is It. Oddly enough, I'm kind of addicted to it. lol!
C'mon Al, let's dance. Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa... Don't give me no shimone either. Save that for later.

Here is a video of me warming up before a recent gig. Don't laugh too hard ;)
Oh and I almost forgot. That is our bass player, who desperately needs the 12 step program, if you know what I mean.

Satchland--After viewing my Live in Paris DVD here is my initial critique:
Joe I really enjoyed the sidewalk interview. I thought the story telling was a nice touch, especially with the interview lady responding to the things that she really liked, she sounded like she was really into the interview and your comments.
I thought the split screens added to the interview, having your eyes stare back on my big screen while looking at both of you at the same time. The interview was enjoyable, thanks for sharing it.
Onto the meat and potatoes of the DVD, the music specifically the new songs (then) we've talked about the older songs before.
1. The sound was crystal clear sounded even better loud.
2. Portland Or. didn't get a show for the Professor tour so it was a treat to see and listen to 8 out of the 10 songs from that album. They sounded fantastic. Galen's rhythm guitar playing really stood out on the new songs.
3. THE VISUAL--although a lot of people are not taking to them, I thought they enhanced the songs. I have the LISF, Live in Tokyo, Live in Denver and Live in Anaheim DVD's that I can slip on if I want to watch a straight up concert.
The visuals made it new for me but I especially like the scenes where the band and the individual players were silhouetted by the graphics it made the guys very Incandescent. It reflected a lot of emotion even more so that without the graphics.
I think if people give the graphics a chance they will really appreciate seeing Joe and Stu in this manner. Dare I say almost god like.
4. I really like to see Stu playing along side Joe, maybe it's because the 1st time I saw Joe the band was a trio of Joe, Stu and then drummer Jonathan. Stu's musicianship is unmatched (IMOP) we all know his stage presence is fun to see.
5. There are too many individuals shots and moments that are something to see. However, one that stands out to me after only seeing the concert once is during Revelation.
The scene switches to the crowd going nuts (I think it's the 3 picture on the back of the DVD case) anyway as your seeing the crowd Joe's Image is brought to the front while he's playing the song. It was a really cool enhancement.
6. All in all like I mentioned before I have the other shows I can see if I want to see a standard concert setting.
With Live in Paris the visual graphics I believe it accentuates the music and musicianship by the band.
I give the effort an A+ and would recommend it to others with the caveat that it does have some serious eye candy, that I personally liked it and think it enhances my enjoyment.
Good job Joe, Stu, Galen and Jeff.on this release and for having the courage to put this out in this format.
signed a fan,
Blue Buffalo (Freddy)
p.s. I'll be copying and posting this on Stu's and mine FB.
Hope everyone enjoys and appreciates my critique.
