Colin Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Don’t know if anybody will see it here, but the Tampa Live Music Meetup group is having a movie night. So the question is; which musical movie should we watch (need two). Suggestions are: Pink Floyd - The Wall Monty Python's the Holy Grail and/or Life of Brian Wizard of Oz/ with Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon Rocky Horror Yellow Submarine Blue Brothers Heavy Metal Blue Brothers Cadillac Records Black Snake Moan Any other suggestions?

sunburnwilly Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 As far as movies with a great soundtrack . Blow Goodfella's Forest Gump Why not a concert blu-ray/DVD ? I just got the Return To Forever Returns Live At Montreux 2008 blu-ray and it is a very high quality presentation . The first half is electric the second is acoustic . My only gripe would be some shotty camera work here and there but the audio is excellent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardP Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The Committments (the recent DD5.1 release, not older Dolby Surround release). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The Last Waltz Yeah this was darn good I just got around to finally viewing this. Another pretty good "doc" style is Les Paul: Chasing Sound. More doc than music but still a must see I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 What's your audience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 If it's real music you want in the context of a movie, I'd go for The Wall or Tommy, possibly Quadraphenia if they're very artsy. If the guys are into the recording process and making of an album, The Making of Dark Side of the Moon is fantastic. Also from Pink Floyd is Live from Pompeii which features early tracks recorded live in a ruins along with bits of the guys recording DSOTM. Yellow Submarine got a great remake a few years back into 5.1 and they cleaned up the cels too. It features a lot of classic Beatles tunes from the psychedelic era (actually from two LP's) but remember that the spoken words are NOT recordings of the Fab Four. Monty Python, while fun and backed by a lot of British pop stars of the day, is not really terribly musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 The Blu-ray disc of Chris Botti in Boston (Sony, B001R60ESE) is nothing short of remarkable. Smooth jazz trumpeter Chris Botti performs at the Boston Symphony Hall with the Boston Pops orchestra and Yo-Yo Ma and John Mayer. Steven Tyler suddenly appears with his trade mark microphone stand draped with scarves, to wail the Aero smith classic “I was cryin' when I met you, Now I'm tryin' to forget you” and the audience is surprised at his powerful and smooth vocals. When Tyler croons Nat “King” Cole’s classic, “Smile,” the disc takes on a whole new meaning. “Smile though your heart is aching,” Tyler tells his father in the audience, “smile even though its breaking,” Then Sting appears to sing and play several of his songs. Together, the guest appearances transform Botti’s disc into a stunning recording of a spectacular night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 There is a Chris Botti concert on HDNet Aug2nd @ 11:20pm. It may even be the one Colin recommded above if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The Blu-ray disc of Chris Botti in Boston (Sony, B001R60ESE) is nothing short of remarkable. I have 3 of his disc, one very good sounding SACD and once I can get a Blue Ray DVD player this sounds like a good concert to get. Thanks for the review.
