don't even bother downloading Snow Prod version (or any other version, SP's menues are nice but their sources are CRAP)
here the artwork from the Room 101 silver DVD:

I agree on the video ofc, cropping it was just stupid. But I really like the audio on the Snow Prod DVD. I ripped my all time fav live song White Queen from both DVDs (DVD Audio Extractor), tagged the files with track based replay gain (foobar2000) and uploaded them along with the best available audio version (Pittrek's complete compilation) to mediafire for the experts to compare:
can anyone please clarify; the rock masters version I have - is it crap compared to this one?

judging from these, the snowproduction is the best one. soundwise anyway

The SnowProd guy just took the audio from the "There Ain't No Sanity Clause" bootleg... which is mostly from a 2005 Swedish radio broadcast. So it's certainly not "his" source.

Ah yes, and Pittrek took White Queen from the Westwood One Pre-FM, that's why there is a different sound. A matter of personal taste I guess (better drum sound or better backing vocals).

The audio of snow productions its really good, you can hear in dolby surround the band playing next to you. But its a shame for the rock n' roll medley, it doesn't sound like the rest of the concert, why? , its a compilation of difrent audio sources?

Indeed. The only source for the RnR medley is the video, which has mono sound. It was never broadcast on the radio.

unfortunately it's a comparison of the audio not the video. Room 101 is the better video
source compared to SP and RM. But what about Pittrek's version? Is his audio better
than Room 101? What about his video?

i don't really mean to be snotty... because i know the discussion has been complicated... but if you read the thread you'll note that you can download the Room 101 version here...
It's a definite video upgrade to the version you have... The SP version being seeded in THIS thread has nice audio... but there are issues with the cropping that was done to make the video 16:9.

Just to clarify some people.
I have fully downloaded the Snow DVD and the Room 101 DVD (I saw the Room 101 over 5 times).
The Snow DVD has 3 audio sources:
- Radio PCM with overblown sound that causes distortion on PowerDVD (haven´t tried a dvd player yet)
- Swedish Radio sound , the only good reason to download this.
- Original TV audio, a bit worse than the others.
The Rock´n´Roll medley has the TV source in all 3 versions. Nothing can be done bout that I guess.
The video is awful and cropped.
So, if you want to watch video, download Room 101. It´s great.
So, if you want great sound, watch this crappy cropped version with great swedish radio audio or the apparently overblown audio on the other radio source if you can hear it without complaining.
However, the Snow Producciones video has some bits that aren´t in the Room 101 video. For example, the Bob Harris intro.

This may seem like a dumb question to some, but what's the deal with Seven Seas of Rhye and See What A Fool I've Been?
Were they played before or after the rock n' roll medley?
