Yeah, it pretty much sucked. At about 7:30 the announcement was made. All standing in line were told to get refunds at point of purchase. I met up with the members of +LIVE+ a short time later for some business and we discussed the wind storm. Ed said that half of the roof was torn off of the stage. Sand and water were blowing everywhere. Cases were tipped and speaker cabinets were thrown around. Pat and Adam were also wondering if there would be any rescheduling. Funny thing is that the House Of Blues (inside the Mandalay Bay) was not being used that night because The Jesus And Mary Chain cancelled their show that night also. With a little more planning, the HoB could have been used... but anyways...

+LIVE+ still met at The Foundations Room inside of Mandalay Bay later that night for their 'end of tour' party. Some dvd news is imminent, by the way

Maybe a DVD is finally coming!!!

High Def television is certainly much better than the 640x480 resolution you get off of an old CRT. However, I still prefer the old CRT's over LCD televisions, high def or not. The response times are so bad on LCD sets, it's disgusting. Ever try watching a hockey or a football game on an LCD set? The ghosting and pixelization is absolutely disgusting, unwatchable to me.

Plasma is a different story though. Sets with software built in guarantee the owner protection against burn in and the response times are instantaneous. There's no viewing experience like watching an HD DVD on a 1080p plasma television. Absolutely fucking brilliant and stunning. Quite unlike anything I've ever seen before.

But anybody who can't notice the difference must be fucking blind. The color saturation on HD sets vs crts is like comparing night to day. Contrast ratios measuring as high as 20,000 to 1 on plasma HD sets give you a black a million times deeper than that of what you will ever see on any picture tube TV. LCD sets suffer with this quite a bit as Liquid Crystal still allows quite a bit of light to pass through when the set attempt to create an accurate black, creating a greyish black which in turn, throws off hue and saturation in creating all other colors accurately. This throws both the tint and sharpness off big time in LCD sets no matter how much you try to adjust them.

The Pioneer Elite television is KING. This set displays non high def broadcasts better than most sets display high definition. With non high def broadcasts being 4:3 aspect ratio, you can still physically zoom to full screen, or change via remote to 16:9 widescreen, without any skewing of the image. Most sets, when attempting this, will stretch the image big time making it irritating to the eyes. Also, believe it or not, some idiots still try to input analog signals into these high def tvs. Pioneer takes this low grade signal and upconverts it beautifully, still achieving a magnificent picture.


SO, to keep on topic? Shoot this Dvd on a high def Dvd format and those mthat have high def sets will get to have a far better experience than those viewing on CRT'S with old dinasaur like DVD players. You'll have to upgrade sooner or later!

For once what LiveRocks says is accurate. What does that say about your statement now BlindMan?
