The anonymous author used a blue screen disk as the source. The whereabouts of the blue screen disk and the tape that it was sourced from is, unfortunately, unknown.


D264.su 24 CARAT D (SLIGHT RETURN)

On 5 December 2005 I concluded a review of D264 with Lovely stuff indeed - five stars and remember yet the fun of that couple of hours. I was more easily pleased then, it's true, but it wasn't just me. The four reviews before mine begin like this:

A truly stunning document (honestwithme, 16.12.03)
Incredible. A great watch! (stumd3, 24.6.04)
As the others have said, this is not to be missed (dpam, 17.8.04)
This is one of the best DVDs I have ever seen (MysteryTramp, 24.11.05)

and, in seeming validation of all these strongly positive opinions, it rides high in the Audience Must Have chart and enjoys a Rate this DVD! score (12 votes at the time of writing) of 4.7. So an obvious question presents itself: did D264, widely perceived already as exceptionally fine, really need an upgrade at all? Well the news from Ghent to Aix is good - indeed, of the best, for, strong as D264 surely was, it has emerged from its passage through The Dylan Room with deftly restored video (involving an ever-increasing range of stylish but sympathetically applied techniques), a sparkling new audio track (less audience, cleaner bass), a trade-with-confidence .su suffix and a future set exceedingly fair. For all the plaudits heaped carelessly on it, despite hosannas from all sides, Cineman's keen eye and astute ear noted that worthwhile improvements could be made and, in his assiduous, meticulous and invaluable way, on behalf of us all he duly made them. Another 24-carat Golden Calf. Praise be!

Matthew 7:20

RUNNING TIME First moving film at 7:30; complete show (including curtain-up and band intros) runs just shy of 110 minutes.
HIGHLIGHTS So much fab footage, so many powerful performances, so pick your own. For more comments on the gig see D264 review - though watching Le Fred and Larry, side by side, doing their inimitable stuff - dynamite without the flash - you have to wonder why D chooses to grub around nowadays with self-effacing Denny and strumalong Stwho - in comparison, selling-platers both.
EFCHARISTO Ace Industries and those who help him.
STARS Max tornado force, binary 101, the number of prisoners taken by Joey and his brothers, the only odd untouchable, AN boron ... Enough clues already.
