Do you prefer concerts or videos on Blu-ray?

[Tibor Lugosi]

I would have to go with videos on this one. As cool as some concerts can be, imo it doesn't get any better than the best video hits, remastered for the highest video and audio quality. Unfortunately most music releases are concerts, which is why I only have a few music DVDs in my collection (which I would gladly upgrade to Blu ray, if available).
What's your preference?

[Lemmy Lugosi]

I like them both. I'd buy many more music releases if the artists could release music video collections, especially bands/performers from the 1980's. In fact, why these remnants of record companies don't band together and start releasing volumes of various artists in their stable is beyond me, unless it's contractual. But if it's a contractual issue, why doesn't the person/persons who do own the rights release them? Maybe a possibility of poor sales figures on some sets scare them....I dunno.

I love both...in theory I guess. There aren't any bands I love with Blu-ray video collections, which sucks. Most of the bands I love are 90's or 80's so I don't know how their videos were shot. I'd love to see the Smashing Pumpkins videos as HD as possible.

I don't have Lugosi in my name but...

I prefer concerts. Sure, I grew up in the heyday of MTV, but a lot of that stuff doesn't have the same appeal to me it used to. I'm referring to 80s material here, but I should think getting HD versions of videos that were originally edited on SD video would be problematic.

I love live music and many of my favourite bands are far better in concert than they are in the studio owed partly to excessive dynamic range compression.

However my #1 choice would be...studio albums remastered from analog tapes into high resolution 5.1 and stereo, 24/192 where possible, otherwise 24/96.

I would love to see Zeppelin's catalogue for example reissued in deluxe Blu-ray audio discs.

I prefer concerts BD's....it's the next best thing to having been there. I wouldn't mind seeing a compilation disc of Peter Gabriel videos, but there doesn't appear to be a market for it (yet).

I agree with all you said especially the studio albums in hi-res.
