<font color='#000000'>I have not heard the DSOTM SACD but if it sounds half as good as &quot;In the Flesh&quot; Live it should be good.</font>

<font color='#000000'>It's a multichannel sacd so they can make a lot of mistakes. Where do they get the music-information for the surround seakers? I believe a real &quot;state of the art&quot; multichannel-sacd has to be recorded new.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Nah... Plenty of information in the original recordings to make a beautiful multichannel disc. They don't just run the 2-channel through a processor to make multichannel, they go back and remix the entire album.

A good engineer can do wonders to the presence of the material without compromising all that makes it great - and without having to record any new material. As one of the all-time greatest selling albums (2-channel) I plan on giving the SACD version a listen...

PS. Same goes for remastered movies. Most of the sound is merely re-panned and processed. Give Star Wars a listen against the original non-DD version and you'll see what I mean, though they certainly sweetened the sound a bit as well...</font>
