DCD 2005 North American Tour Selections CD


Anyone have or listened to this disc? Is it worth buying since I have all of the recent SACD releases?

Yes, I've enjoyed these two discs immensely and think they are an essential for any DCD fan. The sound quality is excellent for Redbook, the editing is seamless. You are not really aware of the fact that performances are drawn from so many venues. I suppose that's the advantage of drawing the signal directly off the mixing boards. There's a bit of ambient audio venue information in the mix, but not enough to make the set sound discontinuous. When an artist is working live, there's an energy that just isn't there in studio recordings. I've been interested in sampling some of the individual shows, but the set list never varied from city to city.
