Got mine yesterday as well. Just like I remembered the MTV broadcast 26 years ago. The sound is fine but it is PCM stereo just like the package says, not Dolby Digital 2.0.
Didn't get to watch it all, but enjoyed watching the extras plus some of the show.

I enjoyed it also.... I just wish there had been more of his cool instrumentals or stuff like "Inca Roads", etc.... "artsy" or jammin' stuff. I really don't care much about religion or politics (although I do listen to them occasionally when I'm in the mood.) Still, it's way- cool & it's great to get a "non-bootleg" recording. Keep 'em comin'!!!!

Joe Travers reply:
I'm sorry Mark, but it's Dolby Digital. We originally were going to with PCM audio but we decided that we would go Dolby since we did not treat the audio in any way, nor remix. We went for picture quality instead. But when we switched the audio, the print work had already been completed. That's the story. We are planning on a special edition-type release with (hopefully) the full shows & all remixed in surround. The Nina Blackwood stuff should be on that.
