Excited for this
nah, sadly its real is a very different song
š“ POWER THE PEOPLE - Deluxe Box Set - Unboxing Video
- Thread starter Good Dog Nigel
- Start date
For the balance of John/Yoko songs in the shows overall. There are several other live (and studio) performances of 'Sisters, O Sisters' in the box set that are better quality.
All the information on the release is here.
Nothing is 'old'. Nothing is a from a soundboard recording or bootleg.
Everything has been re-transferred from the original multitracks and/or first-generation tape recordings and completely remixed, restored, re-engineered and re-imagined. It took about six years work of engineering and mixing to bring this all to you and the whole team put all our hearts and a great deal of thought and love into it to make sound as phenomenal as possible - in High-Definition Stereo, HD 5.1 and Dolby Atmos.

The original Sometime in New York City album is still available to buy, download, stream and listen to. We haven't deleted it or taken it down from streaming.
Thereās one thing Sean always says and itās āI donāt like saying what my father would or wouldnāt be doing/saying nowadays. Itās a losing gameā so donāt think he is trying to envision what John would be doing about the song āWoman is the ā¦ā in any ways as if he was still with us today, Sean is really respectful not to do that. What he and his team did is a well advised and thoughtful decision. Black people expressed themselves and were heard. If youāre searching for a reason, that should be reason enough! The message of the song is about women and I can guarantee that we are not mad about that decision, Iām certainly not feeling erased in any sense. We, women, have been looked down on, disrespected and killed throughout history - as the song itself makes it clear - and thatās one of the many reasons why we stand with black women, men and childrenās rights (and honestly most of the people Iāve seen angry about the decision of not re-releasing the song are men). This is another step towards the empathic world John&Yoko dreamed about, even if that means rethinking some of their own paths. So, actually, congratulations John Lennon & Yoko Ono Estate for making what must have been a complicated but really important decision 
You already know how much I appreciate and respect you guys and now even more!

This has been my ethos of understanding that this new release is not anything other than a different presentation separate from the original artistic statement of STiNYC. The integrity of the original album remains intact. It's easy from the outside to judge when one is not apart of a business or organization with new requirements or adjusted parameters. What we did not get in 2022 has blossomed 3-4 fold into something greater. This new anthology of '69, '71, & '72 - is THE greatest release in the JL posthumous release era; a treasure trove!

It's just a terminology thing, I'm using soundboard and remix here just to differentiate what was previously only on audience recordings, and what is a remix of a previously released mix, sorry if the word soundboard isn't the most accurate there. As for the word "OLD", I'm only using it to mean that it's something that's already public, tho I'm sure pretty much everything on the new set will be a good upgrade.
I'm really excited for the set! I'm just trying to sort through what the material is!

Yes - all new mixes, Produced by Sean and Mixed and Engineered by Paul Hicks and Sam Gannon in HD Stereo, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos. The correct credits for Frank's track 'King Kong' (that was played during the John & Yoko/FZ & Mothers set) have been sorted out with Ahmed Zappa and The Zappa Estate. Everyone's very pleased with the outcome.

A while ago someone gifted me a bag of buttons and I just realized I have this one:

Does anyone know the significance of this button?

Here's the tambourine I have from the show. They are the names of a chain of New York restaurants, bars and cafƩs. I think Friday's may have become TGI Fridays. I"m guessing that their advertising/sponsorship on the tambourines probably covered the cost of them - they were given out to the audience so all the audience members could become part of 'The Plastic Ono Band' and join in with performing in the show.

FYI - for all the shade thrown at Sean and the Estate, it has been confirmed by Gary Van Scyoc that the removal of that "song" that killed the SDE 2022 edition of STiNYC and the lack of inclusion on this new set came down from the legal department (the lawyers). At the 1hr & 27min mark:

I do have one question, will the 5.1 and atmos audio represent the multitracks well? mostly like rockbnad .moggs? if so, that's a really good thing, if not, well, atleast i can seperate the channels with ai instrument separation
@Good Dog Nigel - can you tell us whether the Super Deluxe box is the same size as the previous Ultimate Collection sets? Would love to have this between Imagine and Mind Games on the shelf. The mockup images look wider for this box - understandable to accommodate the many more discs and goodies inside! Just hoping they can all stay together. 
Itās the same height and depth - so it lines up perfectly on the bookshelf - and itās a little bit wider than the others because thereās more discs and book is much bigger.
