Expecting a theatrical trailer to sound like the final version of a film soundtrack is an exercise in futility. It is highly unlikely the same sound effects would have been used, and extremely likely the trailer was not mixed by the same people.

Therefore, the existence of such differences proves nothing.

Also, Gary Rydstrom was the sound designer for the original mixes, not just the redone version.

I see no reason to doubt disclord's information that the early DVD used the CDS 5.1 master. Somebody should find a laserdisc PCM track of the Dolby Stereo version and see how that sounds—chances are it is pretty similar.

I read the '98 Live DVD used the same master as LD68952-2DD which features a remixed Dolby Surround track. However, the very first laserdisc release would be LD48864-4WS which may have the absolute original audio track.

Then again maybe there are no differences at all and the R1 Live DVD is definitive. I am just searching for reassurance that it is. I got a little excited after hearing the trailer and wanted to believe that soundtrack exists somewhere. Maybe my ears aren't as good as others but I can't help but not notice a difference, if at all, when comparing the Live DVD to the other editions.
