russ69 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 OK, I'll start with a couple of my favorites. Nora Jones Live from Austin Texas and Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scotts both have good sound. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorebo1 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If you like Pink Floyd, check out the 2 disc set "Pulse". It has a very nice set up menu to give a quick check of how you have your system calibrated. Next bext thing to being at a PF concert (if you have a big screen). Haven't heard or purchased the Blu-ray version yet, but the standard DVD sounds excellent when played on my Blu-ray player. Same is true of any of my DVD collection. Everything sounds better (cleaner channel seperation) on the Blu-ray player. A few others are the Eagles Farewell I 2 disc set recorded in Melbourne, Santana's Supernatural Live and when your ears need a rest check out Alison Krauss "A Hundred Miles or More - Live From The Tracking Room". The later includes several duets including James Taylor, Brad Paisley and John Waite. Enjoy! Moorebo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxr dad Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Another vote for Pink Floyd, PULSE. Awesome sound and the light show close to the end on disk 2 (Comfortably Numb) is definately worth a look. Tina Turner in Amsterdam sounds good and the Girl Dancers are extremely eay on the eyes. Foghat Millenium Tour is good too. To me it has a certain value since that was the last DVD made before Lonesome Dave passed, the singer. Then the Guitar player passed away some time later so there is no more Foghat. Shame. Blue Man Group is interesting.Though it is 2.1 on one side and 5.1 on the other side. BUT, the 5.1 is audio only, no video. WTF??? I thougt my TV was broke!!!! Then I read the case and found out its only audio on that side. David Allen Coe is cool. The interview part had my attention. He was on Deathrow for 20 years, and he tells some interesting stories about the record producer that kept him waiting for 4-5 hours. I dont want to give it away, but that is worth a watch for sure. I think its David Allan Coe in Austin, not sure though. He had Pantera, Kid Rock and Uncle Cracker on his jacket / shirt. He mentions the songs he wrote that other Performers sang, he wrote a bunch of songs!! Peter Frampton in Detroit is a good concert DVD. Has good sound. That Old man still rocks out. Eagles Farewll Tour has Great sound. Not sure wqhicj one, buts its not the latest Farewell Tour. I dont know how many Farewells they have.

skonopa Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Within Temptation - Black Symphony Full orchestra, full choir, singer with gorgeous voice! This thing's got it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 No Doubt - Rock Steady Live. Really good sound, the band performs well and the audience loves them. Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall 1971. Stunningly good sound, but home movie grade video. A decent trade-off according to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdn69 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I will second Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts Live-I have quite a few concert DVD's but this one is the best I have seen and/or heard. Angel (track #10) is a great example of Beck's guitar genius. Both the video and the audio quality are second to none. Tal Wilkenfeld (bass), Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Jason Rebello (keyboards) make up the rest of the group and all are at top form. Eric Clapton makes a guest appearance for two songs and also sounds great. Couple others that I enjoy are: Rory Gallagher-Live at Montreux Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Live from Austin Texas PInk Floyd Pulse (sounds great-just wish the video editing was better. ) AC/DC Live at Donnington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Cream, at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005 is one of the best in my book! And all the ones listed above are excellent too! The second Crossroads is a keeper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 The Strat Pack Live in Concert. Recorded at Wembley Stadium in 2004 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of the Fender Stratocaster. Great sound and a long list of top players: Hank Marvin, Albert Lee, Gary Moore, Brian May, Ronnie Wood, Phil Manzanera, Joe Walsh and David Gilmour, plus a number of others. The house band is really good too, doing a great job of backing up all the guitar heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Try watching a remastered DVD of "Fantasia" if you want to see what they were thinking 65 years ago in terms of what we could call the first "music DVD". besides, you'll love the dancing hippo's.....

lo123 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Bought the new McCartney New York concert at Starbucks yesterday, wife was out shopping till late evening, so I was home groovin' with Sir Paul! This package has 2 CDs and 1 DVD with the concert in 2 channel or 5.1 DTS audio. I went half way thru with the 5.1, rears (my surrounds are on the rear wall of my family room.....) louder to get the audience effect of the stadium. Then went back for selected tracks in 2 channel, not bad but miss the big center channel in 5.1. Some poignant tracks for John and George and many standard McCartney items, around 33 songs all told. Anyway, very good concert DVD and now I can rip the CDs to my Zen player. There is another version with two DVDs, Letterman appearance by McCartney and some other stuff on the second DVD. Overall not a bad 15 bucks for the three disc version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_L Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Fish is right about the MOE DVD, it's fabulous. Technically and musically. Another sleeper I'd like to suggest, which is fabulous country blues and fabulous guitar is the Lucinda Williams Live at Austin City Limits.

mxr dad Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Wow, I cant believe I left out Gary Moore and friends. Tribute to Phil Lynott. Any Thin Lizzy fans would love this DVD.All the guys from the band play together at 1 time or another on this DVD. Gary kicks some serious guitar booty on this thing!!!!!
