I did a search and saw that this is the place where the last discussion of the Genesis re-master/DVD sets were discussed so I'll mention it here. Just picked up the "Trick of the Tail" remasted/DVD set (got it real cheap) and it's a very well-done package. The real treat of the package though is the 1976 concert footage where we have a great "Bill Bruford in Jamie Muir mode" view. After seeing this concert footage there is NO DOUBT to the degree with which he was influanced by Jamie. I thought it was funny too that Bill was still sporting the "B" overalls that he wore with Crimson.
I can't wait for the early albums to make their debut in this same format.
As to Crimson doing something like this, call me a heretic (and I know you will), but I hope that Fripp is thinking along these same lines if, no, WHEN the re-re-re-issues Crimson's 40th anniversary albums hit the stores/internet, I really hope that they go with a similar type of deal (5.1 and DVD set). We all know there's plenty of concert footage out there, we've just got to see what they do with it. This sounds like a really good option to me though.
My favorite movies (right now):
"Lost In Translation", "Mulholland Drive", "Pulp Fiction", "Sin City", "Buffalo '66", "Ghost World", "Apocolypse Now (Redux)", "Donnie Darko", "Raising Arizona", "Shawshank Redemption"
