Friday Night in San Francisco - SACD? Rumours?


One of my favorites. Wonder if there is a SACD mix available, and if it is any good. 

Ditto but unrelated: how good is the Rumours SACD (and which if there are different versions)?

I would get this SACD, I own it and this is by far the best digital version. Worth every penny if you own a high quality SACD player. 

 

I have not heard either. I only buy SACD’s if low price, perhaps find used.

I have 2 lps of FNSF,  in terrific shape and CD version, I convince myself I prefer the vinyl.

My perception of the advantage of SACD is reduced noise floor, nearly black noise you could say, which I expect the 3 guitarists would benefit from.

Rumours, the material, words, the music, I’m not so sure it would be as big of an advantage

I'll bet the "Saturday Night in SF" SACD has outstanding sonics. The source of the recording were the original analogue tapes. It was then mixed and mastered in DSD. Al Dimeola found the tapes in his house and was involved throughout the production.

@lowrider57 @lalitk So who has heard and compared different SACD versions of FNISF (wasn't aware of the one latitk shows above). 

 

 Full, great story behind Saturday Night at the following:

DSD files for both Friday Night and Saturday Night available on HDTracks.  Recently purchased Friday Night after hearing Di Meola in concert and SQ is outstanding.  Saturday Night is next up.
