unimorpheus Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 While in a Frys one day I heard the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" live concert DVD playing in the HT demo room. The system in question was a Harmon/Kardon dvd player on a Harman/Kardon A/V receiver w/ some high end Polk HT mains and sub. The system actually sounded pretty good as the Polks have a warm sound to them at moderate volume. This pretty much kicked the HT project into action as I have been planning to get to it for about five years. Well after a visit to the local Good Guys and some spectacular luck I was the proud owner of a pair of RF5s and an RWS-10 (which was latter returned for an RSW-12). The audio and video quality of the Eagles DVD is just spectacular. Now that I am totally hooked on this DVD concert thing can anyone recommend some titles w/ as good a presentation as this DVD. I went out on a limb an purchased a Sade concert DVD as I am a fan of her music. Unfortunately the quality of this dvd is so poor it looks and sounds like a bootleg. As far as musical taste is concerned, I am all over the map so I am open to any suggestions and musical taste. Thanks for the advice.

picky Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 These are probably listed someplace on gtDark's two threads: Not in any particular order: Led Zeppelin: DVD Heart: Alive in Seattle Peter Frampton: Live in Detroit Peter Gabriel: Growing Up Live Genesis (Phil Collins): The way we walk tour Just a notch down from the above: Fleetwood Mac: Live in Boston (Christine McVie is missing from the group and a rather uninspired showing by Stevie Nicks) Blue Man Group: The complex rock tour Live (The visual quality suffers at times due to all of the blue lighting).

Eardoc Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Roy Orbison's "A Black and White Night." I'm so glad he did this before he died. The love and respect he gets from his all-star backing band just shines through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David Copenhaver Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Metallica S&M- It is amazing to me how well heavy metal transposes to all of the instruments in a full orchestra. If you like that, look for Apocolyptica. This is four cellos playing Metallica, and a few classical pieces on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 NIN - And all that could have been King Crimson - Eyes Wide Open Both have so-so video quality, but GREAT sound quality. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 DJ Spooky - In Tune and On Time. You have to like this sort of music to appreciate it, but a really fun DVD to listen to. Also, he is from Davis, CA, which is kinda near me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 GEt this one I promise it wont'let you down Have your subwooofers in proper working order and play it in Dolby digital versus the DTS version. Enwhistles solo is worth the price alone. Great playing and some fine performances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that "Hell Freezes Over" in DTS has popping sounds on the Hotel California track. They are absent in Stereo, but the stereo mix has WAY more bass than the DTS and sounds un-natural. Has anyone else notices popping sounds on that track? I can't even listen to it anymore and play "New York Minute" as my favorite now.
