My new reference BD!

[Johnny Vinyl]

I've purchased a number of BD's (about 20) and most of them have been very good. Some didn't impress at all and I should have just bought the regular DVD version, but that happens!

Anyway, on to my choice for a reference BD! This film just blew me away in terms of both audio and video quality.

My choice is: DAVE MATTHEWS: Live At Radio City Music Hall

Everything about this concert film is 5-Star and its going to have a lot of views in the years to come. It felt like Dave and Tim were in my freagin' living room! Wow! Stunning! Spectacular!

good to hear, I am usually more impressed with live shows video quality over film quality. Something about live recording gives it more pop (especially in HD)

[JaylisJayP]

i totally agree...the Dave and Tim disc is pristine in every sense of the word.

Welcome to the site. Go Blu!

I haven't seen DM Band's blu but I guess it must be spectacular. I will say the movie that has impressed me the most is 2001. Knowing now how old that movie is was left in total awe!

Nice one, it really is fantastic.

Have you ever been to a D+T show or DMB show...at the Amphitheatre maybe?

I've seen DMB 33 times all across North America since November 1998 at Maple Leaf Gardens, but have yet to get to a D+T show.

Video yes but audio no way. Remember this was a 24/96 TrueHD track. I can only dream of movies using it.

ah good point. wasn't taking audio into consideration

While I'm not a big fan of Dave Matthews, I have to agree that this disc is both reference video and audio. The only live action on par with it for picture is POTC: Deadman's Chest.

Well, seeing that my wife loves DM, I went ahead and showed her this post and needless to say, took advantage of DeepDiscount.com and their 20% off sale. Got it for $15 shipped. Yeah!

You won't regret it, she'll love it.
Dave Matthews is a damn good looking guy and unlike some folk, he looks even better in high definition.

At least that's what I gather from my fiancee and some of her fellow Dave Matthews' adorers constant ooohs and aaahs and "damn he so sexy" comments throughout the Blu-ray presentation.

Me, yeah I think the guy is incredibly good looking, but it's the audio I was most interested in on this disc and the TrueHD 24/96 track is absolutely stunning. I can honestly say I have no heard any other HDM disc that sounds this good. I have to reach into my SACD and DVD-Audio titles to get something that compares to this disc. I only wish SonyBMG had put this out as a hybrid SACD as well as a Blu-ray and DVD.

I'm also pissed off to see the new DMB DVD from a September 2007 show (Live at Piedmont Park), "shot in high definition", is only being released on DVD and CD.
