Comments on: The Torture Never Stops (DVD) http://www.killuglyradio.com/fz-discography/the-torture-never-stops-dvd Complete Frank Zappa Discography featuring ratings and reviews Tue, 02 Dec 2008 07:39:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Marco J http://www.killuglyradio.com/fz-discography/the-torture-never-stops-dvd#comment-4188 Marco J Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:36:53 +0000 http://www.killuglyradio.com/fz-discography/?p=103#comment-4188 Wow, it's been a while since I posted a review, but it really is nice to be back again. This one is short and sweet: honestly folks, I was more than a little disappointed in the sound quality on this "Torture...." DVD. The 1981 Palladium material has been circulated around for quite some time, and I watched a previous boot that had twice as good a mix as this official FZT release. I also consider this a disappointment sound-wise, because Dweezil's re-mix for the "Baby Snakes" DVD was so wonderful. I also think that the excerpts of this concert that Frank included on the "Dub-Room Video" DVD also feature a much better sound mix. SO--It's OK if you are a completist who just wants to see the whole thing on a half-way watchable release. Not up to the sound-mix standard of recent FZ DVD releases.

It's not Roxy, but it'll have to do til then...I like it a lot; just wish there was a 2nd DVD of the rest of the evening!
