I've also owned this one for a while, having seen part of it at Bat's GTG probably ~two years ago. I got it mainly because of the very first song, Bartender. Finally got around to watching the rest of the concert - >2.5 hrs! - as well as the ~40 min. "documentary" feature. Great show overall, lotsa good music. But Bartender is still the one that does it most for me, that's just an amazing performance.
Ok I double-dipped, just got the BD. Listened/watched a bit yesterday, and the PQ and SQ are really excellent. I think this is the first BD I've got that delivers 96kHz DTS-MA surround sound, nothing else I remember has such a high sampling rate. Now whether that actually translates into an audible difference I don't know, I haven't done detailed comparison between that and, say, the DD5.1 from the DVD. All I can say it sounds nice and lights up the DTS-MA indicator on my pre/pro.
Still, great concert. The tonality these guys get out of just two guitars is really impressive. Good recording that totally fills the room in a concert hall style.
i really really want to dig this, but im not much of a dave matthews band. it feels like zac brown to me in a way, which isnt a good thing. i kinda had radio overplay on them, despite Crash into me is my theme song for the 90's...
i recorded it on my DVR and hope to catch a glimpse of it later on, so i can at least see what im missing.
Thanks for the heads up Pauly, i have to get that on my wishlist again.

I was watching something good on Palladia when the phone rang, and this concert came on during the call; I left it on.
I don't know anything about Beyonce, but she's a hell of singer, pretty, and a body that could stop a Mac truck, yowza. Her entire band here (and its a big one) are all female, and quite good-looking specimens at that! The costume changes keep trending towards less, and I'll probably watch the entire show for research purposes exclusively.
I'll report back on my findings. :ugeek:

That concert is my go-to show-off reference disc, followed closely by Hit Man Returns. The end of Groban's "You Lift Me Up" (when the choir appears) is one of my best subwoofer demos. And the Groban/McKnight duet of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is one of my favorite performances.
I first saw Soulive on a whim in Salt Lake City a few years back, in a great outdoor show. They're a three-piece funk-rock-jazz instrumental group; drummer, guitarist and keyboardist (bass duties are covered by the keyboardist, and he doesn't kick the Hammond footboard, but instead has a MONSTER left hand!)
They were supposed to have a live DVD coming out a couple years ago, which I'd pre-ordered on Amazon. It was delayed a couple times, then my order was cancelled, and I kinda forgot about them. Suddenly, this disk shows up, "BowLive". I expected some concert in a "Brooklyn Bowl", but it turns out the "Brooklyn Bowl" is a bowling alley :doh: with a rather elaborate stage! They played and filmed their shows, every night for the first two weeks, with lotsa guest stars.
Diggin' this so far! :music-rockout: :music-rockout: :music-rockout:
First concert I've ever watched that started out with a drum solo; Phil, then Phil & Chester, then Phil & Chester & the percussionist. Audio so far is stunning! :handgestures-thumbup:
I moved/alphabetized my video collection about three weeks ago, and found about six disks that I could turn into BestBuy and get $5 off new disks. I took in three to begin with (LOTR trilogy, which I now have on BD) and picked up Clash of the Titans, Batman Begins, and this disk. The $5 off doesn't apply to music disks :angry-cussingblack: so I had to pay full price for this one (still worth it at $17) but I doubt I'll be able to find four more movies that are worth buying @ $5 off (I'm just not that into movies).
Oh, cool, Gerald Albright is on alto! :eusa-clap: :eusa-clap:
