They were in great shape so then I went in to clean up some pops and clicks or other kinds of non-musical sounds. SP:The producing of the DVD started with transferring the mutitrack audio tapes to Pro-tools and looking into each and every track, whether it be drums or vocals or whatever, to see what shape they were in after sitting in a vault for 24 years. Can you tell us about some of what goes into producing/remastering? Thank you for all you have shared and continue to share with us. Thanks again for giving us this opportunity and for bringing us what has to be an amazing DVD.

The sound is too good to allow it to be over compressed for no reason. This is a problem for a non-Dolby live concert like this as it was for Bruce Springsteen's вЂњLive In Madison Square Garden.вЂќ That is why there was a warning sicker on his DVD and there will be a sticker on this one, too asking you to turn your Dolby off. For some reason, the Dolby Corporation seems to think that all DVDs should be running Dolby automatically.

вЂ“ oh, and by the way, for the best fidelity please make sure to go into your DVD menu and turn the Dolby compression to вЂ“ OFF. But I'll tell ya NOW - I'm so glad the management did it anyway because I think this show was a real special performance that I'm glad to say, is NOW - вЂњJourney Live In Houston 1981 Escape Tour.вЂќ P.S. There were times when I'd show up at the arena for a sound check and see a recording truck parked in back and, HONESTLY- I'd pull a bit of a moody. I never really liked taping live shows because it would place heaviness on the freedom of the show. I like the idea of having one in my car and one in my DVD player. SP: Sony and I decided to do separate disks for now. Was there any discussion of utilizing that format for the release of the Journey Live in Houston DVD and CD? Thanks for seeing through the production and long talked about release of this historic, landmark concert. The Dual Disc format is the latest high tech development to catch on in digital home music though utilized mostly with studio-recorded albums. It just ended up being the night we didn't play вЂњThe Party's Over.вЂќ We do have the audio, though. Because they were taping it for their network and because MTV was only 3 months old, I figured it was a budget thing and they decided to only film the one show. When I went back to see what footage we may have laying around, I found out that we played that song on the previous night and though the recording truck was taping the audio, MTV was not taping the video. Regarding the Houston 1981 DVD, why was вЂњThe Party's Over, (Hopelessly In Love)вЂќ not filmed? You are one of the best vocalists of all-time. I would like to thank you for many years of great music. SP: My understanding is this is the Collector's version. Will the DVD and the CD be sold together or separately? I can't really pick a fave tune because the show has so many songs that I'm very proud to have been a part of.The WHITE SOX experience was the most fun I've had in years. After I forgot they were there, I had a blast.

SP: My first memory of the 1981 Houston show is that I had to get used to the cameras being on the stage. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your beautiful music.

When you think back to the night that the concert was recorded what is the first memory/impression that comes to mind? What was your favorite song or experience that night? I loved seeing you at the World Series having fun, even though the Sox beat my team. Because of all of you, my life was launched into вЂњLiving The Dream.вЂќ I hope we do see each other again, somewhere, someday. I guess our time together is timeless, it really did happen and now it's ours forever. I'd like to say to all the fans who remember the way it was.It was so long ago that we were together and yet, it seems like yesterday.
