Lovebohn Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I just watched: Paul McCartney: Back In The U.S. AC/DC: Live At Donington Pearl Jam: I can't think of the title but it was the new on that just came out. All of these were good quality and i loved the music that also helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGREEN Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Try U2's live at Slade castle. The audio I think is great, video is typical concert footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hz536n Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 There is nothing wrong with Rush in Rio, it was a loud live concert not a studio recording. Same way with Iron Maiden in Rio. Very big crowds of energized people who know and sing all the songs during the concerts. AC/DC Live at Donington is a somewhat similar large crowd concert DVD experience. U2 at Slane Castle is very good, as well as, Peter Gabriel Growing Up Live, Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty at the Olympic, SRV at el Mocambo. All of these have been regulars in the CX1 player. The visual effect of Peter Gabriel's DVD is very powerful projected on a large screen surface (besides having great sound).

EJH Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 The Last Waltz - The Band, Martin Scorsese does a great job at capturing the emotion of this event. I've been listening to this DVD now for a few days with my new DIY center and I can't seem to get enough. This is a great collection of old school rock, even Niel Diamond jams! Black & White Night - Roy Orbison, This is another great collection of artists. Although I only have the VHS it is a great production. My next purchase will be Hell Freezes Over - The Eagles. I can hardly wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre_Roy Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I like the DVD . Roger Waters In the flesh -- Live . Very cool concert . Its a wide range of real old Pink Floyd Umma Guma to the newer album Animals . A very talented gathering of musicians that perform on this DVD, Rent it , and you will probably want to bye one for your collection . Im listening to 4 RSX--5 Satilites , RC--25 center chanel ( Still waiting for my rcx--4 center chanel ) and a RW--12 a Teac reciever AG-10d pushing 125w per chanel and the fricken room rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYRO Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Finally purchased RUSH IN RIO. Simply one great concert from Tom Sawyer through Working Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwoods Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Gotta' go with Peter Gabrial- Growing up. Overall exellance! DMB- Folsum Field, has great 5.1 audio. But the umpteen camera's won't focus on a single thing for more than 2 or 3 seconds. Really annoyed the 5h1t out of me. The sound and talent from this group should not be overlooked by anyone though, and the reason I mention it here. Is Central Park any different? Get the "Led" out. If your a fan, get it. Got it?, good. Rush- Have a read from a long time fan, Rip Rowan @ ProRec.com. Titled "Over the limit", not much about "Rio", but a good article with an interesting subject none the less. A good interpretation of why some of todays recordings don't sound so good. http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/articles/8A133F52D0FD71AB86256C2E005DAF1C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Central Park is very different. It's by far their best DVD yet, and an amazing 3 hour show. -Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitz Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I own : Rush In Rio Led Zeppelin AC/DC at Donnington Joe Satriani Live in San Fransico Yes Symphonic Live Roger Waters The Wall Out of those, Led Zeppelin is just on another level for me, but not necessarily for the sound, which is very good considering these concerts were from 20 to 30 years old. It's just a 'must have'. Roger Waters The Wall - a HUGE spectacle with great sound, peformed in Berlin. Yes Syphonic - Excellent sound but not quite the spectacle or excitement of the others. Joe Satriani - I'm a big fan, so I woulda been happy with anything. Luckily, the sound is great too. Rush in Rio - Big fan, looks and sounds fantastic, although in Tom Sawyer Geddy's vocals get overpowered a bit by the crowd and occasionally Alex guitar gets a bit indistinct in the mix. SEEING Neil Peart perform is an experience! AC/DC at Donnington - The ony one of the bunch that's disappointing. Looks , feels and sounds more like a music video. Going to get the Eagles next!

johnpbc Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Here are three that really do it for me: The McGarrigle Hour - Kate, Anna, family and friends -- some good old fashioned singing, playing, and just wonderful harmonies. One Night With Blue Note - the historic all-star reunion concert, NY, Feb 22/85 -- some great jazz artists and their talents. Diana Krall, Live in Paris - stunning presentation and performance.

rowooo Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Though it's a movie, you have to include U2's Rattle and Hum! Has some great concert footage as well as some behind the scenes stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas42 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Wow, I'm surprised at how many recommended Peter Gabriel's- Growing up Live. It IS a great DVD, (I have it) but I thought his earlier effort "Secret World Live" on DVD was a much better concert. Another often overlooked concert DVD is Yes' in the Houes of Blues (Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas). Worth checking out... Regards, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjoe24 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Anybody watched the new Rolling Stones "40 Licks" 4-DVD Box Set yet? Saw it in the store. Just Curious.....Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shmoe Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Yes, I have the Rolling Stones Best Buy Exclusive DVD Four Flicks. I think it's good also, kinda funny... Charlie Watts makes some pretty strange facial expressions while drumming. He must have trouble breathing through his nose or something? I guess you may have to see it to understand? Its a good DVD, you get your choice of Arena, Stadium, or club shows. Although I must also say that They were awesome in Toronto at the Sarsfest, as was Rush! I only wish Rush could have played for a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Charlies strange expression comes from the size of the wallet he has in his pants while bouncing up and down on his drum stool. OR maybe its just the prune juice?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I picked up Outkast for my daughter, and I gotta tell you it is VERY impressive Go figure, try it, you may like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtximages Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 ELTON JOHN "ONE NIGHT ONLY" Recorded at Madison Square Garden in 2001 and the sound quality is amazing. Recorded in DTS and DD. He plays all his hits as well as "Come Together" by the Beatles. Bass goes superduper low and drums are crisp and powerful while vocals are huge.
