I'm working on my "remaster" mentioned earlier in the thread, but while I was replacing the 5.1 dubbed speeches with 2.0 stream I looked a bit closer at the 5.1 track and am now doing some more work than expected 
It seems the Left and Right channels have most of the stage audio (e.g. backing tracks, mic feed) whereas the Center channel mixes that with audience sounds and (what seems to be) a louder mic feed.
The L & R surround channels seem to be audio from mics placed further out in the audience which causes a slight delay on audience cheering and reactions, just like in real life cause of how sound travels distances, just that it throws u off a bit when you're watching the stage in real-time.
Watching the file on my surround system, I felt like the 5.1 mix washed out the music a lot and was very unbalanced compared to the more streamlined stereo mix. So I'm putting more emphasis on the front L & R channels, as well as mixing them over a bit into the C channel, turning down the volume of as well as moving the surround channels a few frames/seconds back so the delay is less apparent and more natural to us watching the stage action.
 
There are two 5.1 tracks in the 13 GB file, seems the second is the same as this one (the first 5.1 track in the file is the true surround mix, the second seems to be just a stereo mixdown + 3 empty channels).
Other changes I'm doing:
Minor image adjustments for the entire video so the broadcast looks slightly less washed than it does currently, to make the colors pop a bit etc. I'm with all the folx complaining about the occasional pixelation but that's a bit difficult to get around. Grading will help a bit though!  Adding some visuals to the malfunctioning Bedtime Story cube (mostly cropped footage from either the side screens or fan footage from earlier dates) so it does the staging justice and doesn't look awkward. Bob's mic feed is super low volume when he's telling the Garage rules during Holiday so I'll dub his voice over best I can with sound from a previous date. I'll try to be quick!

Is anyone else already on to replacing the 1080i stream with undubbed sound?
If not, I can do it + de-interlace the video (so it's 1080p instead).
Interlace is basically only used for linear broadcasting these days and will just look murky on most of our streams and playback sessions

Please, do so

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

please!!!

Wait FREE booze and food?? Seriously??? I’m on existential minimum income since a few months and have an Iconic Package ticket so excuse me while I cry with joy 🥹🥹

People complaining about this and that. Remember where she was a few months ago. ICU. She´s not going to live forever. None of us are going to live forever. None. Of. Us. Be thankful that she does this tour. And be thankful you are safe, alive and able to see it.
