Live Performance of Billy Joel at Yankee Stadium in Atmos Audio Format
Get ready for a musical extravaganza as the Billy Joel concert film, a tribute to his 50 years of making music, is set to hit theatres nationwide on October 5 and 9, 2022. This upgraded version features a 4K transfer of the original 16mm footage and a Dolby Atmos remix of the original recording.
The remastering process involved a meticulous search for the best original source materials, including original videotapes and film reels, to replace lower-quality archival audio and video sources. The footage was upscaled to 4K resolution, preserving details never seen since earlier, lower-resolution remasters. The audio was remixed into Dolby Atmos to provide immersive, three-dimensional sound quality.
The goal of the remix was to put the audience in the center of the crowd while keeping the music front and center. This comprehensive remastering revitalises the 1990 concert, providing fans with a visually stunning and aurally rich experience that stands alongside modern standards in concert film restoration.
The music for the concert was originally recorded by David Hewitt in 1990. The audio for both the film and music re-releases was remixed by mixers Jay Vicari and Brian Ruggles. Phil Ramone, who was involved in the original recording of the concert, is also a part of this historic re-release.
The theatrical release of "Billy Joel: Live at Yankee Stadium" is distributed by Sony Music Entertainment/Trafalgar Releasing. The film is being shown alongside popular films like Bullet Train, The Batman, and The Woman King.
For those who can't make it to the theatres, a re-release of the concert featuring a 2-CD, 3-LP, and Blu-ray version is scheduled for November 4, 2022. The November issue of Mix will feature a more detailed story on the making of the Dolby Atmos release.
Whether you're a Billy Joel fan or not, the concert film is a must-see for anyone who loves live music. The pure power of the performance is showcased in this upgraded version, making it an unforgettable experience for all.
