Hi Frank,
Thanx for the support.
The whole idea is to give the fans a documentary DVD about BA, since
it is the project's 10th anniversary this year.
The "rain" was as real as it looks and since we obviously couldn't play a normal concert because it was dangerous and simply impossible, I put toghether some of the best pictures from the entire concert, using one of the songs like a "musical bed". I simply wanted to show as much video as possible, since that is an unprecedented situation. The rain started on the fourth song and continued till the last song of the show. Nobody from the audience left after it started to rain. The show was 1h45min.
The best show is the one in Sofia, that's why it was decided to use most of
the songs from there. However, lots of footage from the entire tour is mixed in, as it is a documentary - not a live concert DVD.
About the sound - it is exactly the same on DVD and CD. It should sound exactly the same ( I mixed and mastered it personally). The great thing about it is, that absolutely no studio work has been done after the recoring.
Other bands would go straight into the studio and overdub the hell out of the live recording, leaving only the original drums. After that they release
a "live" record, which was made in the studio.
This is made for the fans. If I overdubbed it, it would be like cheating my own fans, wouldn't it? Everything you hear is 100% live. That's why I am so proud of it.
Thanx again and best regards:
Nik
