The Simon/Garfunkel "Old Friends" special edition CD/DVD has been delayed a week to Dec 7th.

Best price so far is at Amazon for $26.49 with a pre-order and free shipping.

BestBuy has it listed for $29.99.

This DVD should be a good one!

I did not go to any of the shows.

If you saw a show, what did you think of the 'Old Friends?'

It was fabulous! I believe there are some older threads on the shows.

I didn't see this message before posting a similar one on the Music forum.

The best price I've found on the CD/DVD version is $23.08 from both CD Universe and Barnes & Noble online. CD Universe charges $4.99 for S&H, but B&N is offering a similar free shipping deal as Amazon where you need to spend $25 to get it free.

I wondered why BB didnt have it. They had the 2 disc set, but no dvd. I will get this next week. Should be pretty cool.

Anyone found this one yet. I haven't had a chance to look, but a friend of mine tells me he can't find it anywhere.

[JohnG]

Mine's being shipped by Amazon....maybe I get it today?

[taxman150]

I checked a couple local Best Buys and Targets and couldn't find them yesterday so I bought it online last night at B&N.com for $23.08. They are offering free UPS Select 2 day shipping on a $25 order and there was a book that I also wanted to push me up over $25.

I was also thinking of CD Universe who had it at a pre-order price of $23.09 (plus shipping), but they raised their price yesterday afternoon up over $26.

The only stores that I have seen this was my local Borders and Barnes & Noble. And their prices are not cheap.

Another friend now tells me he saw a copy of the DVD (misfiled) at his local Wal-Mart.

[Jimbo]

I was at J&R for today's Jimbo Lunch. They had the DVD and the CD separately, but NOT the CD/DVD combo, even though it was advertised in the newspaper. I WANT ONE, NOW!!! :realmad:

Are there any different performances between the CD and the DVD???

[JohnG]

I didn't even know the DVD was available seperately. Didn't see that mentioned at Amazon.

I would have preferred the DVD alone.

I don't know about different performances, but there are more songs on the DVD.

[Jefhart]

I got the DVD on Tuesday at the local Worst Buy, haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. Don't need the CD, I'll make my own CD from the DVD.

Is the stereo track on the DVD a PCM track :agree: or is it Dolby Digital 2.0 :sigh: ??

Thanks

Just got in in from Amazon. :righton:


It's Dolby Digital 2.0 in stereo. The 5.1 mix sounds awesome btw.

Thanks for the info. I really wish it was a PCM track though.

[JohnG]

This really is a fanastic DVD. What a concert! Hits and nothing but the hits.

Its shot a little soft but considering the age of the performers, that may be a good thing.:D

[Beatlelennon65]

Border's had the combo for 27.99. I couldnt believe it.

I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl, fantastic! A fan for almost 40 years, and the first time ever to see 'em live. Took my girl friend, It was good. RE
