I have just got through with talking with Ken Caillat who is mixing these disks and this is what is had to say:
Neil, totally bogus info! It will be Christmas at the earliest. The band has to approve the mixes and I won't be playing them until next Wednesday for Lindsey, then it will take 3 months to assemble the DVD and get it out to stores. I'm still mixing the white album as we speak.
As far as extras go,
Tusk extras: Sara 8 minutes long (full version), Beautiful Child, full instrumentation, contains instruments not used in original stereo mix, Never make me cry, full instrumentation, the same applies to all the mixes really
White Album, Landslide, Stevie harmony vocals put back into the mix, So Afraid, more instruments, vocals. I had the original engineer over yesterday, Dave Davore, and he flipped when heard how good and new the 5.1 mixes sounded.
There are also 2 song ideas on each album that could be used if the band wants to, and a slow version of So Afraid. But I doubt that they do much special. The band is not focused on DVD, just their future and their private lives, I have offered to Rhino Records to help them get extra stuff for the DVD, but I don't think they care much. What would be a big help would be to have the fans write or call Robin Hurley at Rhino and express their desires for more extras on the album.
So guys if we want more rare items on these, lets get in contact with Robin Hurley at Rhino and let them know, anyone got contact details for Rhino?
