Zappa.com

question - I had the LP Pic Disk back in the 80s. I haven't heard it in years - was that taken from the (then) VHS tape (later DVD) as well the same as this release?

pic disc is essentially the same as the CD

and a side note: the end solo on Punky's Whips is waaaaaaaaaay different than in the movie as well.

Good point jay, I haven't listeneed to both back to back in years, but that alone makes the pic disc (I have the LP) or the CD worth owning in addition to the movie.

If I recall right, somewhere in that Black Page Jones Crusher Broken Hearts Punky's medley the movie edits from the October 31 show to one of the shows on October 29, while the soundtrack album uses Punky's from October 31. Or something like that.

Ar least they didn't overdub it with Gail's grandchildren.

My excitement has waned as I too thought it was the full concert and not just the audio. the talking bits where a bit of a drag in the film, I can't imagine listening to them sans video. This will be a pass for me.

I agree with everyone else. Would have loved the complete show. But not interested in a soundtrack of the DVD. I don't know ... at times, makes me wonder where ZFT heads are at.

I am a genius. I came here to see what my fellow FZ pals were thinking about this release, before buying it. Now I don't need to bother. Thanks guys!

I hope they don't release any more download-only albums. I have no interest in downloads. Maybe this will come out on CD down the line, like Mothermania. But if not, I'm plenty happy with just watching the DVD.

Cal, we always knew there was more than one of you LOL

Well said i won't buy a music download as long as i got a hole in my asshole it's a rip off only a fool would fall for even is price is a little cheaper,they say Blu-ray is better than HD no it ain't just blue-ray they don't stream(download) and even then the only difference is sound mostly even if not all the diffrence,what i can't make out is and not sure if there is a diffrence in when downloading a game like GTA is there a diffrence in the music obvious the picture can be improved with Graphic cards though what about the sound is there a difference if not it got too be a rip off.

$30 for a digital download? You must be kidding me. What this is is a rip of the Baby Snakes DVD, including the dialogue portions. This is something all of us could do on our own and there is nothing new. When I read this, I got excited, because I thought we were getting a complete show from the Palladium, 1977 Halloween shows. What a ripoff.

I wonder if there is such a fear of copyright infringement and such a lack of understanding of what is possible and what the average person does to get music that the soundtrack to a movie seems like a great deal.

I am not the sharpest pencil in the box, technology-wise, but I have torrent apps and converter apps and if I don't understand how to do these things, I know some twentysomethings, and they take care of it for me -- sheesh

To say it clear: This offer is absolutely ridiculous and nobody with a halfway clear mind would buy this.

"This is Official Release #95"

It's official release #95. So I bought it. I gotta have all the official releases. I just can't help myself.

I guess I'll rip my own copy of "Official release #95" from the DVD I already purchased.

Got it already on DVD,rip a cd form it and I save whatever they're asking.No sale here. (and no Matilda!wtf!)
Did anyone else think it strange that Ahmet is using Zappa.com for pushing some swami's Cosmic Debri on the Zappa forumers? The big Om.They did this shit in the '70's with TM.Didn't do anything for me then.It's like this purchase,I got it already! Enough.I expect respite from the guru's of the land on the zappa.com forum.
I wonder what his new name will be.Yogi Ananda Ahmet Baba Boom?

My only guess is they figure the smartphone generation would be into this.

For the ignorant amongst us, would anyone care to explain the necessary process to extract audio from a legally bought dvd.

I would appreciate it.

Cheers.
