I watched Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Lyve From Steel Town' last night. The sound mix was pretty poor, very congested and the guitars were not prominent enough. This got me to thinking about the poor quality of many music DVD's I have bought, so I thought I'd start this thread about the worst music DVD sound others have encountered.

I'll start it off with my favorite worst. Alice Cooper's 'Welcome to My Nightmare'. The guitars are virtually silent. The worst part is that Rhino has the nerve to exclaim on the packaging that the sound has been remastered. Well maybe it was, but I wouldn't brag about it.

Static Cling

Moving to Music Talk.

Illinois Enema Bandit

Yes - Live in Philadelphia is another bad mix. I have better quality audio bootlegs from the same tour

Johnny Zhivago

Stormtroopers of Death: Kill Yourself - The Movie.

Funny stuff but the mix can not be tolerated. I dumped it after one viewing.

Jack Straw

Absolutely, I completely agree. The sound is terrible, a big disapointment because the material is so good. I unloaded this title quickly. For the Alice fans out there, pick up "Brutally Live" which has excellent sound with DTS and D/D.

Prince : Rave Un2 The Year 2000...DTS
Sounds reedy, thin and too trebly. ANd the performance was shite??? WAY too many has been guest spots.

Terry

Jason

Iron Maiden: Raising Hell (the PPV with the magician) is pretty bad. Flat and distorted with low vocals.

Giantrobo

KISS: Second Coming.

crapy sound for real.

Death: Live & Raw (Live in LA)

Granted this is a pretty low budget release, bootleg quality even, but the mix is so bad. The drums are so friggin' loud they drown out the guitars.
