alchemy - dvd audio mix

[joan_duarte]

I don't have MFN compilation right now here with me but I remember the first "yeah" on Telegraph road being removed (yeah, A long time ago...) and the shout in the audience (I love you DS!) and those bongos added.

About the new mix on Twisting by the pool there are some of the drums changed and at least four notes added in the middle of the song.
Compare the two versions:
old version:
new version:

In the remastered version they removed some hits of the snare drum. For example in 00:16 and 00:22
and they added four notes in 2:06-2:07
Compare them with the original.
The new mix is horrible, too much reverb all the song.

About Joop I think he had tambourine (played in Romeo and Juliet, Expresso love, Sultans, Telegraph road, Going home ,etc), some kind of maracass or shaker (played in Once upon a time, Private Inv) and cymbals (don't know where).

well I like the mix with reverb, i find it suits to the 60ies flavour of the song

about the 4 notes "added" in 2:6-2:07, it's just that the instrument (bass or guitar ?) is mixed more in the front so you hear it on the remix while it wasn't audible on the original, but it's not an "added" recording

and yes right about TR, I rememeber the "yeah being removed . Mark did'nt like very much his way of singin at the time...but I prefer than the way he's singing this song today

I'd say it's a guitar
I don't think it was in the original mix, I can't hear it.

yes I thnik it's a guitar.

I would find very strange to add just 4 notes in 1988...
maybe we cant' hear it in the original mix just because the track was muted on this part for whatever reason

on day tripper by the beatles, there's a guitar lick that ends abruptly on the orginal mix and which "resurged" entirely on the love remix.

Lots of new sounds in the new aLCHEMY remix.
A very interesting new sound is a note from the bass in the very beginning of Once upon a time in the west.
No one noticed it? Listen to the minute 2:19. Alan's organ is not audible like it was in the old mix.


New thankyous from John and Hal in 1:04:27 and 1:04:30.

And many more...

If they did a new remix of the video they had to cut lots of pieces, the same cuts they did in the video 30 years before: paste the end of OUATITW with the beginning of Expresso Love, remove MK R&J intro, remove the end of Solid Rock and paste the end of the previous night (that means they have both concerts recorded, at least those two), etc.

Anyone knows where are those studios and these recordings? We could do a visit some night.
