What Concert Video are you listening to?

[Botch]

Nice folk set, good Sunday morning music (now that my Oppo appears to be working, for now...).

 

[Batman]

Watched most of this last night, these guys have been together for over 30 years now and for getting up into their 50s, they're still entertaining. They've been my favorite band since ~89 when the Violator album was huge...

 

[Botch]

On DVD. Which still plays on my Oppo. :|

 

[Botch]

Figgered I'd break in the new Oppo right! :music-rockout: :music-rockout: :music-rockout:

I had forgotten how good BMG were, in their showmanship, musicality, instrumental design, and composition. Great demo disk! :text-bravo:

 

[Botch]

Oppo universal disc players came with an "AIX Records" sampler ...
they record direct-to-disk, 24/96 to DVD-A or Bluray Audio, mixing live, no overdubs, autotune, compression or artificial reverb. They use killer musicians, beautiful reverberant recording spaces, some very expensive mics, and video-record the sessions with damn good camera angles/panning for such a small operation. This is the real thing, there are subtle flubs among the musicians and too-hot/too-low entrances of soloists (its mixed live).

Correction, that's not true. They record live, individual tracks, but the final mix is "mixed" later, to include a "central" listening position and an "audience" position (back away from the band).

Highly recommend this on if you like this band.

quick question:

gave my boss my old old blu-ray player, and he hasnt played anything yet.

Hes a HUGE Rush fan, which concert would fit him? i dont know which one would 'stand out' based on CONTENT, not necessarily just tech specs.

he lent me the one with the dragon, i loved it.

This is good, not great.

In depth documentary about the band, however most parts seem very scripted to me, could have just been my interpretation.

If you are a fan of the Doobie Brothers, it is a must get.

PQ - Great during current interviews and current footage.........

AQ - Same as above.....

Not a show piece for bragging about the system.

Just a decent doc on one of the best bands of all time! Some history, that you may not be aware of.......no spoilers here, spend the $20 if you are a fan!

Metallica

 

[garypf]

I finally figured out how to upload pics! Took me enough time.

 

[garypf]

Unbelievable that this was hiding in a box somewhere all these years. Very happy it was finally released.

 

[garypf]

Different interpretation of his and others' songs. Stellar audio and video.

 

[PaulyT]

Excellent! I've been thinking of getting that Peter Gabriel one...

 

[Botch]

This just came on on Palladia. I'm definitely getting the bluray; I've only seen the first tune but its great, and Sade (who I think is older than me) looks stunning! :banana-dance:
