Credit, too much of anything, a little submarine in the night

Indeed. But let's give Diana Ross a little credit for Jackson, too.

On the PT sits it lists them as playing two shows, one on each day.

Yes, I have it now. Or a copy, I should say. Interesting that even with the
extra tracks it is only 40 minutes long, and they could have easily
included the instrumental tracks (but didn't).

And it sounds quite nice, too. I suppose I'll have to make my own full edit
of IATM.

I make no claims about my system, but I definitely hear the difference.
Like the remix of TOMMY, the songs now have more dimension and depth, and
there are lots of sounds I'd never heard before. I haven't played it in my
DVD player yet, as it's the one with surround sound. I'd like to know if
it's also in 6 channels. But I am impressed with the remix (at least for
now). Whether I end up liking this better or not remains to be seen; it's
hard to have any perspective yet.

Thanks; I got very little water damage although the carpet in the back of
my store smells a bit like there was a male cat in here for a while (which
I am working on as fast as I can!).
