Does anyone agree with me that these sound as if they took the studio album tracks and just overdubbed screaming audience sounds (and carefully sync'd with the bands "mouthings") to make it sound live?
It sounds way too polished for a "live" performance in 1965.
no, because you can hear them stopping and starting. The studio tracks are different.
Originally, when it was released in 1966, the music you heard during the live performance in Dublin was very clearly the studio version replayed with distortion effects to simulate a live setting. For the new 2012 Blu-Ray, it appears quite obvious the restoration team worked from source tapes made at the concert (as well as a later one at Belfast that was only briefly glimpsed in an earlier version), as Mick's vocals and the band's playing on the songs are quite clearly different from the studio versions, not to mention really well synched. It's not optimal from an audiophile perspective, but it's thrillingly authentic.
