Interesting. I don't have a BR player, so I can't rip it (or even confirm)

I will try. Linux and Blurays are not compatible either.

I have a PC with blu-ray drive (two different ones infact), but don't have the disc so can't confirm it either

Just checked, the BR has crowd noise too, all mixes.

Oh, so the BR set doesn't have any version of the concert without the fake audience noises?

(Aside from the download code for the binaural mix)

The BR concert video has fake audience noise, but there's also audio only 5.0 and DTS recordings on the disc and that hasn't got the audience noise.

Ooh, I wonder how they compare to the binaural audio - like, could they be reduced down to stereo and still sound better than the binaural ones.

(Or how they'd compare to the radio broadcast files from a few months back)

Then again, all of them have been Dadwatered so eh

I might try that (don't have the album, but I do have that 5.0 mix that was floating around months before release). If the only thing they did with that mix was just moving front left to rear left and front right to rear right occasionally then it should sound pretty much like the original stereo when mixed down.

and still sound better than the binaural ones.

Not a fan of the binaural?

The binaural ones are alright, but it'd always be nice if there was a less Dadwatery version of it available (or could be put together)

I extracted the subtitles of the Masterclass youtube video which is also on the blu-ray (but unsubtitled) and created a SRT file so that you all can use that with a VLC player or something like that: I don't have the BR at hand myself so I couldn't test it. I don't know if the video on the BR is exactly the same as the one on youtube so the timing might be off. Let me know if you have problems. VLC has a good option to extend or delay subtitles.

Took me a few hours of work, something which should have been done by someone at Sony Music/Colombia
