Freqently Asked Questions about "Road Rock" and "Red Rocks Live" compiled by RE*AC*TOR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Road Rock" Album questions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: What's the name of the album? A: It's often referred to as "Road Rock Volume 1", but on the CD itself you will only find "Road Rock V 1" on the edges (not in the booklet or the front/back artwork). The CD front cover just says "Road Rock". And some people also mistakenly refer to the album as "Road Rock Friends and Relatives". That's the name of the band (the Friends and Relatives band).

A: It holds the same 8 music tracks (see later below) as on the CD. There are two encodings of the album on the disc: -- "Dolby Digital" (also known as "DD"), which will let you play a 6 channel version of the album on any existing video DVD player. -- "DVD-Audio" (also known as "DA"), which requires a newer DVD player equipped to play "DA". This format is also 6 channel, but at even higher fidelity than the Dolby Digital version.

Mellow My Mind The version of "Cowgirl In The Sand" in this show has been re-titled "Cowgirl In The Rain" by Rusties, due to the rainstorm in progress while it was being performed. Thunder is audible during the video, and most of the band gets soaked. Q: Is the "Red Rocks Live" video performance the same as the one that was webcast in September? A: No. "Red Rocks Live" is mostly (probably all) from September 19th, except some of the scenes outside the amphitheater that were filmed at the snowy September 22nd show. The webcast was on September 20th. It's possible that other shots within the "Red Rocks Live" video might have been spliced in from the September 20th show, or from the September 22nd show.
