Awesome posts everyone!!! Thanks a lot for posting! I will certainly be buying a few more concert blu-rays based on posts in this thread. It is nice to see a wide variety of different music blu-rays listed, I kind of expected to see a few of them listed again and again, but its not like that at all.

And, naturally, I own the BD. It's excellent!

Sweet!

Is R30 better than Snakes and Arrows Live, if so why? thanks!
BTW I have the latter and it is an awesome show.

I like R30 better (I have both)....like the song choices better, and better energy. I also saw them in concert during that tour and when I watch it it's like I'm back seeing them live again

1 Kings of Leon, Live at the O2.
2 Korn, Live on the Other Side.
3 Linkin Park, Live at Milton Keys.

[Ranger-R]

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City

[Todd Smith]

Eric Clapton Crossroads 2010 sounds excellent with lots of great performances.

Stop Making Sense is still one of if not my absolute favorite. Killer audio and amazing show. PQ is crap, but easily overlooked in light of how awesome it is otherwise.

Would love to get a well recorded/mixed RUSH show, but that has not happened yet Looking forward to the blu ray audio release of Moving Pictures though!

I probably am I like my concerts sounding like they are right off the sound board and not like I am actually at the show. One of my big pet peaves is a weak low end as well which is all to common with live recordings it seems on a calibrated system (sub in particular). Once I hear something like Stop Making Sense (studio track), This Is It or The Police Certifiable (to mention just a few), I want them all to have that type of presence/quality/low end power. Rush Snakes and Arrows in particular is the exact opposite of this...........WAY too much ambience not nearly enough direct. The low end is anemic (with an eq'd sub at least)............not personally what I look for in a live recording, but some like this sound which is fine obviously........these concerts are more subjective than anything I find as far as opinion goes.

1. Jewel: The Essential Live Songbook
2. The 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Concerts
3. B. B. King Live
4. Jeff Beck - Live at Ronnie Scotts

This list can (and does) change often, but #1 on my list never will...

I agree on that Jewel show......Awesome all around! Love the bonus Red Rocks footage as well.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I take it you have a nice subwoofer? I do, a Seaton Sound Sumbersive upgraded to an HP. What are you running? Kinda funny you mention the bass.....if you watch Certifiable then Snakes are Arrows you'd think Stuart Copeland is the better drummer, when the reality is Neil Peart is pretty much the best drummer alive. So yeah that anemic bass on Snakes and Arrows kinda sucks. Funny it never really dawned on me until you mentioned it.

have a good one bro.


(edit, btw I just noticed something..... Copeland and Peart are both 58yo. )
