Oh bummer. I was hoping that they had originally filmed it in WS and just cropped it because everything was pretty much 4:3 back in 1997. Harrumpf.

I'm sure MTV insisted on it at the time. So annoying.
But I guess if it were to arrive anyway on BD, at least the audio could be done really well in HD.

This show was more than likely filmed onto BetaTape, at roughly 480i resolution, which is that of DVD. There is not a high-def version of this show, as the show was filmed in standard definition video. It was at the time when HD was just starting to make its way into the marketplace...

Still The Dance. In fact it was the first Mac release I had ever heard so I remember hearing some of the original songs and thinking they sounded "weird". I was a kid, mmkay? Anyway it's weird that I started with The Dance and then went to Kirwan and Welch eras and then to Tusk and became ensconced in the Rumours-Era. Couldn't be a more roundabout way, but there it is.

I only have the 1980 Live one on vinyl, but I appreciate it. It's a lost relic from my favourite album era, but the rehearsal tracks are kind of limp to me. But I like the rawness; same could be said for Live in Boston.
