Title: Okonokos vs. Acoustic Chorale
Post by: The DARK on Aug 08, 2007, 05:24 PM
Which do you find yourself watching more: Okonokos or Acoustic Chorale?

Rather than thinking of Acoustic Chorale as outtakes from Okonokos, I tend to consider it as a DVD with a completely different mood. Whereas Okonokos sounds absolutely huge, AC is a much different experience. Carl owns the slide, Patrick breaks out the shaker for Sooner, Two-tone provides a steady baseline on every song (particularly Where to Begin and Sooner), Bo provides masterful keyboards on Strangulation, and Jim sounds like he's coming to you from a solo show, while still rocking out on the omnichord for Sooner. Add that to the fact that it's only about a half-hour long, and I tend to watch it more than Okonokos.

I like AC better too.....not that I don't love Okonokos.I think the songs on AC are incredible and even listen to the audio version a lot.Where to Begin still blows me away.

I like AC better as well.  My biggest disappointment with Okonokos was that it didn't feel like it represented everything that the band can do in my eyes and ears.  AC combined with Okonokos is the whole band, not just one side or the other.  This band can do it all, and I hope that some day that one day they release a movie that captures the whole picture, the absolute awesomest band in the world.

NO, dont waste you time. I think someone might still have it on sendspace. just download it from there. It comes in individual song files so it totally easy. Here's the link. Thanks Kory for this...

Awhile ago someone posted a link to mp3 versions of the songs, any one recall where I might search to find this link.  Thanks much.

I second the search for the mp3s please.

I must confess too that the Chorale has more gravity for me (not that I do not love OKONOKOS--just a different love ya' know).  The feel is just so different and comfortable on that disc.  Putting a point on it is like trying to trap water under your fingertip.

Ugh, I forgot how amazing AC is.  The part in "Bermuda Highway" with the camera angle behind the light up star thing just warms my heart.

Time to watch Acoustic Chorale.  Yes the shot from behind the light up star, I know what you are talking about.

I love AC and Okonokos equally.  However, I find myself watching, or listening more to AC.  It all starts with Bermuda Highway...quite simply, one of the greatest songs ever created!!  There isn't a hint of filler on it!  I think it's time to watch AC and Okonokos, back-to-back!  ;D

Wowza!  Got mine off ebay for less than $20 just back in January!  There is something criminal about selling it for $100.........

As this is a promotional dvd, copies could be made, correct?
If so, Emma, you can PM me.

i posted it to show how expenisive it was. i don't think you should pay 100$. I've seen it a lot cheaper on ebay, keep checking there.

$100 is outrageous!!  Unless its genuinely signed by the band, its not worth that much.  I still see it on ebay, which is where I got mine.  I think it was Kory who posted it as mp4 awhile back.  If someone could do that, or possibly in another video format, dont think u can copy mp4 to a DVD, then those who are looking for it could at least download it.  I havent watched either in quite awhile, but I do listen to both on the ipod almost everyday.  :)
