25th Anniv Rock & Roll Hall Fame Concert - Blu-ray Forum

Skafish · 09-25-2010, 07:30 PM

Any news on this yet? I was at show #2 a night I will never forget. I heard that Best Buy had the exclusive for Blu Ray for the first month and that it comes out this Tuesday the 28th. Can anyone confirm this?

The DVD version comes out on Tuesday, which is listed here:

and the site says that the blu-ray comes out on 11/2/2010, but the website is known for making mistakes in the past.

Picked it up today! Best Buy was clueless that they had it in the store, took a bit of time and searching before I was able to get my copy.

^ Thats a Blu-ray?

If so, I'm definitely stopping at BB on the way home!

Yes. Sorry for the crappy pictures, hard to see the blue band on the top of the box. You may have a hard time finding it. My store had no idea it came in, finally found the SKU # and they showed 15 in stock. All were in the warehouse in the back.

u_nick · 09-28-2010, 09:14 PM

Cool, thanks for the heads up, I had no idea this was coming out at all. My brother and sister in law are going to love it too!

skyofcrack · 09-29-2010, 03:50 AM

Thanks for this heads-up. Looks like BB will have the exclusive through 11/2 then others will get it. Still, not bad for $24.99. Thanks OP.

Time Life doesn't even have the Blu-Ray on their web site.

Does it have a master audio track, or is it just dolby digital? I almost picked this up a Best Buy, but I wanted to make sure.

It does have the 2channel stereo option, Played about an hour of it last night in DTS (box says Dolby digital, on screen menu is DTS) audio was amazing. The PQ may be the best of all the concert and for that matter any Blu-Ray I currently own. My wife even commented on how spectacular the PQ was. This Blu-Ray blows away the HBO broadcast that I watched a year ago. If anybody is a fan of Rock and Roll this is a must own.

Thanks for the heads up! I will be stopping by my local store tomorrow. I sure hope they have it in stock.

Cool! Checking out Best Buy tomorrow for this. Can't wait to watch Prince's guitar solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"!

Prince wasn't at these shows.

Then I guess the selections for the Blu are different from the 3-DVD set I read here:

http://www.readjunk.com/news/music/r...t-out-nov-3rd/

Prince is on disc 1 of the DVD, selection 14. Can you confirm this is not on the Blu? Thanks.

Those are the induction ceremonies filmed thruout the years, not the 25th anniv shows played last year at MSG. See the link at the top of the thread and the attached photo's.

Thanks for the clarification, Skafish. I wish they'd release those on Blu as well.

+1!

rick88 · 09-30-2010, 09:07 PM

I just got mine at my local BB. It was the last/only one they had left.

It rang up at $34.99 and had to remind them it was $24.99 online and they price matched. Great deal for a 2 disc set. Can't wait to check it out tomorrow. Sure hope it sounds good!

Skafish · 09-30-2010, 09:18 PM

Good deal! There was no price matching for me

Looking foward to your comments on PQ and AQ.

kmccleave · 09-30-2010, 09:37 PM

I went to my local BB last night and couldn't find it after searching that place for 45 minutes. Went home and their web site said won't be released until 11/2. The only BB in my area that even had the DVD was over an hour away.

I called my local store this morning and they had no idea about either the DVD or Blu. But then I checked again this afternoon and one of the ones about half hour away had it.

Can't wait to get home and check this out! Maybe stop at the liquor store first.

rick88 · 09-30-2010, 09:43 PM

I'll probably check out disc 1 tomorrow and disc 2 Saturday. No doubt I will enjoy several glasses of wine while doing so!
