Free Music Notes for Running on Empty (CD & DVD Audio)
Free Music Review: jackson browne inconcert
Hit: 4 Stars
Jackson performed in a series of"day on the green" concerts at a winery at Lake George, near Canberra (Australia)in 2003. What a great afternoon of music, sipping wine up close to the stage, full sound and best of all I could actually see him up close and personal. Makes "Running on Empty" so much more real as I've seen the concert albeit 30 years later!!
Free Music Review: DVD-AUDIO VERSION
Hit: 4 Stars
A classic album re-mixed in to multi-channel sound. I find the mix subtle but suitable for the music of this disc. The overall sound depth and clarity is a definite step up from the regular CD.Free Music Review: thanks - i'll have a refill.
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't know what I was hoping to find when I got this dvd. But whatever it was, I was left with the feeling I had found something even more precious. It's the odd glimpse of genius at work - "yeah, we could do it like that", the depth you reach as he shares every breath with you, then takes yours away. And that's just the music. Most of all it's Jackson's intensity, passion and vulnerability exposed in the photos. He is surrounded by great people - musicians, friends, adoring fans. And yet he is alone, empty, the grail for unquenchable thirst. You want to be his fountain. Take another look at this beautiful man. Get to see where the music comes from.Free Music Review: Sound, packaging great! But...
Hit: 4 Stars
There's not much more positive to say about this release that others haven't already said. The sound is crisp, packaging great, the bonus tracks on the DVD-Audio disc are fun to have after all these years.
However, I have one major complaint that I'm surprised no one else mentioned: this remaster edits out the first 29 seconds of the lead-off title track. Why on earth would you do that? For those who know the album those 29 seconds are of a restless crowd waiting for Browne and his band to start the show. On an album whose goal was to give a vivid picture of a musician's life on the road, that intro was a crucial lead-off. I can assume the edit was to make the track more immediate; but it strips the power out of the opening for the sake of pandering to America's increasing short-attention span.
If you can live with that edit, this version of the album is well, well, worth the money.
Free Music Review: Delighted with this DVD-Audio disk
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not a Jackson Browne fan, in fact I don't own any of his other recordings. The songs are of course familiar from years of FM airplay. What makes this disk so enjoyable is the outstanding sound quality of DVD-A. The performances were excellent, much of which may not have been quite so apparent until now. I own ten DVD-A's and this disk is among the best of them in sound quality.
If you like classic rock in general and Jackson Browne in particular, go ahead and buy this disk for your DVD-A player. You will not be disappointed.
