Paul Mc Cartney "Back In The US" Live 2002

Guys,
What do you think of this CD? I bought one and I thought the recording quality is mediocre, almost unlistenable other than for the sake of walking down memory lane...or it is just my LSi15 is incapable of reproducing this cd graciously?

You think the LSi15's can't do it? Bah! Blasphemy.

It's the recording. It has been discussed here on the forums before. Several people mentioned that the DVD is really bad.

[polkatese]

Oops, sorry if that been discussed before, it was one of those impulse buy while waiting in the checkout line at Target....kaching, another one bites the dust!

polkatese, it's cool. now from your post. i'm def not going to buy this CD or DVD. for McCartney music.. i really like Wingspan. Listened to it just yesterday. I think it's been remastered.

[phuz]

Polkatese, no need to apologize. I didn't mean to imply an attitude or anything. I was just trying to let it be known that you aren't the only one who had that opinion. :)

[polkatese]

no worries, mate! I didn't take that way, what I really meant to say was I am sorry that I didn't read those threads before, and had spent the money that could be spend on something else...oh well, at least it's not too late for danger boy....

[danger boy]

thanks guys

Polkatese.

Thats interesting. I started the other thread about the back in the U.S. dvd. I was not thrilled with the sound. mhw58 replied to the thread stating that he thought the sound was O.K. I don't think anyone else said anything either way. At least not anyone who had heard the dvd. That made it 1 for and 1 against. I never thought to ask anyone about the cd sound quality.

Joe,
The CD is definitely not up to its promise. It is flat, dull, even though it is a live concert. Details is ok, but muddy. It is actually tiring to listen to. It doesn't convey the actual excitements that gidrah had mentioned in one the thrread, having gone to see them live. Too bad it is opened and I can't get refund for it...

[phuz]

Polkatese where did you buy it? Many places will let you return it if it's within 14 days.

Even if not, it can always be 'deffective' and you can return it for credit towards something worth listening to.

[polkatese]

Phuz,
bought it at Target and I the store policy (I think) states that opened item can only be exchanged for the same cd...perhaps I'll see if I can challenge that...
