I was just noticing that between the official DVD and the Acoustic Chorale DVD, all of the tracks from the Okonokos concert are presented on DVD in one place or the other. Except Dancefloors. Anyone know if this has ever seen the light of day? Also, Bermuda Highway from the Acoustic Chorale DVD isn't on the CD or the vinyl.
Second question, does anyone have a definitive tracklist for the concert? I mean, does anyone know the order the songs were actually played as opposed to the order the were reaaranged into for the DVD? The vinyl, DVD, and CD all have different track orders and I want to reauthor the official release and Acoustic Chorale into the closest representation of the actual show possible.

This is based on giving the DVD preference for order (for easier and fewer necessary edits) unless it can be proven the order is wrong (such as "Sooner" immediately following "Golden", considering those two songs were only played on the first night and in that order). This should be as cose as possible to the "correct" order. I'll be resequencing the show and probably reburn it onto a dual layer DVD. Should be a fun project.
Lay Low----->Dancefloors= :) :D ;D 8-) [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I hope some other videos that were edited surface. Dark, Bear, and Dancefloors ignored? What gives?
I have also never seen/heard Into the Woods live with full band. Any linx?

Go to night one (maybe two?) of the 3 night NYE stand at the filmore on archive.org.

Wasn't that Jim solo acoustic?
i'll throw something fun into the mix:
the performances in the film are not necessarily the mixes on the album.
don't know.
i worked on a dvd of a concert film that was being edited concurrently with a live album. the director of the film and the album mixer chose songs from different nights for a couple o' tracks. the assistant sound mixer commented that there would be some people out there trying to figure out which nights the songs came from. i was playing cool, but he had me pegged. ;D i never did manage to get a list from him of which songs they used so that i could compare it to our selections.
Really...that's interesting, because I noted in an earlier post that Jim James's voice on the CD sounds off to me, almost like the timbre of it is too low-pitched or something, most notably in tracks like "Gideon" and "Off The Record". On the DVD, though, the pitch problem isn't there. It's really odd, and at least to me, it's really noticeable. I was told that Jim James had pneumonia when this concert was filmed. First off, is this true? I mean, if so, why would they use that performance for the official live release instead of one where he was singing at 100%?

Becuase they spent hundereds of thousands of dollars on camera men, lighting guys, stage props, etc. Not to mention the pre-planned theme with the fans dressing up and two nights at the filmore. It is my understanding that Jim was starting to develop pneumonia at this point but was not yet diagnosed. He just thought he was getting worn out from the long tour. At one point he even admitted sounding a little off during that time, but that he had grown to enjoy the imperfections in the sound of his voice during that time. (Please feel free, anyone, to dispute these tidbits, as they are from memory, which ain't what she used to be.)
i was watching a bit of okonokos today and caught an interesting way to catch footage from two nights edited together. check the number of guitar picks on the mic stands. since the two nights had different song orders, there might be some differences in the number o' picks on the mic stands.
btw: these don't indicate mistakes...the point of shooting more than one night is that you have options in editorial. just makes watching that much more fun. ;)
also: was trying to play this in the background today as i was doing some tedious work at the desk. couldn't do it. this film is too fucking good. i just kept getting swept up in it all. [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

Good points. Everytime I throw it in, my son and I stop everything and just chill. My wife hates it because I turn the surround sound to obnoxiously loud levels. Whoever did the mixed did a great job as the footage and sound seems pretty seamless to me. Without looking for the liittle things, like the pics, most are not going to know this if from 2 nights.
the mix is fantastic.
