NIN: Beside You In Time DVD

KASR · December 2009

I was able to snag this at a new and used movie/music shop and I gotta tell you that I'm glad I did! My DVD/HD/BR music collection is pretty skimpy as this addition DOUBLED my collection - LOL!! And while I do live my Rush: Live in Rio DVD, the sound engineering that went into the NIN DVD is pretty amazing! It's setup for surround sound, so there was no audio wrapping from a 2.0 signal - each channel has it's own purpose/job to do and the music really rang true. Since my only comparison (that I own) is the Rush DVD, I can tell you that vocals definitely came in alot clearer and while I realize that Rush's DVD capitalized on the crowds volume and energy, NIN's DVD focused on music/sound quality. Here are the specs for the DVD:

16:9 Aspect Ratio
480i resolution (the A-20 up-converter actually shined here...I was VERY surprised.)
Available Audio formats: Dolby Digital 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 Surround (this is what I ran it at and it sounded simply great!)
Languages: English, on-screen lyrics available, full-closed caption
Alternate Angle: 3-songs, real-time switching
Menus: interactive menus
Bonuses: Music videos for The Hand That Feeds and Only are presented in standard definition, as they were originally filmed, with surround sound audio.
The three rehearsal videos are presented in standard definition, as they were originally filmed, with stereo audio only.
Image gallery is presented in full 1920x1080 resolution.

I highly recommend this DVD/HDDVD/Bluray for any NIN enthusiasts - a very good transfer and audio reference material for a live show!

Yep that one is great but look for "NIN And All That Could Have Been" on DVD,
I like that one better.

It was released in full screen and wide screen.

Now if we could get TOOL to release a BLURAY or DVD.:mad:

I don't know how you feel about pearl jam, but the unplugged DVD that comes with the rerelase of Ten sounds really good. The alice in chains unplugged DVD is also a great. Both sound better then the Dave mathewes and tim reynolds blue ray I have. Not that it sounds bad, but the 2 unplugged DVD's are top notch. I really don't know what TOOL is waiting on to release one. I'm sure that it would sell like crazy.

The Dave mathewes and time reynolds at the hard rock cafe blue ray just doesn't really sound that great loud for some reason, but it is a very nice recording if your in to acoustic guitar, those 2 are amazing. It really does have a great stereo sound. It actually sounds like they are setting in front of you playing away. For anyonw wanting to start a DVD concert collection, the pearl jam and alice in chains uplugged shows are great. The best recordings I have heard for either band by far.

I use AIC's unplugged as a demo CD.

I'm definitely fans of all the above listed - I'm pretty geeked at building this collection (I can hear my wife groaning now)! LOL!
Thanks for the additional suggestions!
