how do concerts look in high def? - Blu-ray Forum

Itsmeshane · 05-13-2008, 04:46 PM

I just ordered Alice Cooper and Led Zeppelin live. Just curious as to how they look?

unjichan · 05-13-2008, 05:21 PM

IMO.. Just like the movies BD better PQ and AQ than DVD with more priority on Audio? maybe.

SquidPuppet · 05-13-2008, 05:24 PM

It depends. Some great, some not so good, and sadly some bad.

The Alice Cooper Live @ Montreaux is very very very nice looking but only has DD 5.1 audio.

It does look as if Alice is in your living room... turned out great PQ wise.

I once owned the AC/DC: Live at Donington on BD and I would say the audio quality is pretty good but the picture quality had a lot of grain. The best thing about the concert is all the camera angles.

I agree on this one. AUdio rocked but video was just so so.

Heart, NIN and Alice Cooper looked amazing IMO.

One to avoid... Motley Crue Carnival of Sins... it's a damn dvd in a bluray case... no difference between the dvd and BD as far as i could tell.

I'm one of the people that actually enjoys The Song Remains The Same. It's really cool on BD. There are several bonus features, including songs left out of the film, and the remastered soundtrack sounds great. The picture, for its age, is not bad since it was shot on film for the big screen.

Scripture · 05-13-2008, 06:42 PM

Not sure if you're fan of the Moody Blues or not, but 'The Moody Blues: Lovely to See You - Live' looks and sounds great, in my opinion. Definitely a nice disc to pop in when the occasion warrants.

SBrooks1 · 05-13-2008, 06:44 PM

I'm a huge concert Blu-ray fan and the ones I've bought so far have really impressed me with video and audio quality: Elton 60, Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey, Queen, AC/DC (grainy but it's film so it's cool), Justin Timberlake (audio mix wasn't very good, vocals suffered), Chris Botti (amazing audio), Nine Inch Nails (simply awesome). Can't wait for Korn and ZZ Top!!

Link · 05-13-2008, 08:11 PM

I have Mariah's and Love it - great picture and sound.

Colglizity · 05-13-2008, 08:52 PM

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds @ Radio City was AMAZING! Great PQ/AQ

BStecke · 05-13-2008, 08:54 PM

Nine Inch Nails is one of the best discs out there, concert or not. I'm planning on picking up Dave Matthews soon (although now that it's gone back up to 20 bucks from 13 I'm a little put off). Everybody raves about that one.

The Motley Crue Blu looked good on my screen. not AMAZING but lots better then the DVD IMO.

Crème Blu-ray · 05-13-2008, 09:19 PM

I have Chris Botti, Destiny's Child, Shakira, Legends of Jazz and Tony Bennett - and they're all fantastic! Excellent sound, great concert/lounge-style soundscape and crisp video.

QUEEN Rock Montreal and INCUBUS Live at Red Rocks have a pretty good picture quality. ROBBIE WILLIAMS (Live at Royal Albert Hall) (UK Import) is the best I've seen so far.
Regardless of the sound, the picture quality helps to upgrade the experience, so to get a concert in Blu Ray is worth it.

AC/DC Live at Donintong AQ is awesome!
