Blu Concerts

[russ]

The Nine Inch Nails Beside You In Time is outstanding. The sound quality is outstanding. Can't say much about the video quality since I actually had it playing while I was cooking dinner, but this is essential for any NIN fan with a blu-ray player and a decent audio setup.

Yes it is. I have the BD and a co-worker has the DVD NO COMPARISON...

I also have ..

AC/DC
Dave Mathews (great picture .. too much whining though)
Chris Botti ... on order

[Chevypower]

Come on Warner, give us The Eagles, Farewell - Live In Melbourne on Blu Ray. I am sure it was filmed in HD. Make sure it's AVC video with DTS-HD on a BD-50.

Wow, we have similar taste, Beta.

There are lots of the Dead DVD's that I never got around to buying, so I will snap them up when they come out on Blu.

I have 3 blu concerts. I will for sure pick up more as the groups come out that I am interested in.

It's Image-Entertainment (not Warner) to whom you ask!
I have the DVD. I thought AQ is good but PQ is not with my PS3.

Found Gilmour's concert in my gold box at Amazon for a whopping $1.25 off so had to add that one to the cart.

whoa.. there's a metheny concert on blu-ray????

Sounds amazing I wish they would release keith urban live on blu he and his band sound great I never knew he was that good of a guitar player.

I have Led Zeppelin, The Song Remains the Same on bd. The picture quality is an improvement over the dvd, but what makes this an amazing disc is the soundtrack. Dolby HD, and it sounds simply amazing! Makes the old 5.1 track sound anemic.
Highly recommended for the sound (even tho it is a weak film)!

Well my DVD copy had Warner Entertainment and Warner Home Video on it, so I assumed it was released through Warner Music. But who cares, just release it on Blu Ray now!

I've got every one of them...... along with some "bootlegs" if I knew how to operate my laptop, I'd burn em' for you and send them along.....



One I forgot about......


YELLOW SUBMARINE.............

[darkpoet25]

I only have two so far and love them both. Nine Inch Nails and Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds. I just hope that if Iron Maiden's Live After Death comes out on Blu that they clean it up. I bought the SD version and the PQ wasn't too great although the sound was damn good. I'm looking forward to the day that Iron Maiden's Maiden England and Pink Floyd's Pulse get released on Blu.

that was an awesome show.. i was there.
i'm going to see Dave & Tim (& the Dali Lama) in Seattle in April.

[tmok2000]

I have Queen and David Gilmour. Both are amazing. I also got The Last Waltz as one of the 5 free discs. I haven't watched it yet. There are just too many backlogs for me. However, I watched it in the theatre when it first came out. I don't remember anything about it now, but I vaguely remember that I didn't enjoy it much. I am hoping that seeing it again will change my opinion. May be my taste has matured over the years.

[Blu Falcon]

I plan to pick up the Legends of Jazz and John Legend on Blu. I'll probably get Shakira and Beyonce for bootylicious eye-candy as well - I also like their music.

The only other concerts I've ever owned on other formts was Sarah McLaclan and Bob Marley.

I think The Roots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Gang Starr (DJ Premier's bangin' beats and Guru's butter smooth delivery deserve a lossless audio track!), Boot Camp Clik, Lenny Kravitz, Sade, TOOL and Alicia Keys would all be great acts on Blu.

Oh and the original Prince and Revolution. Not just Purple Rain the movie per se, but an actual concert reuniting all the original band members and playing all his hits that led up to Purple Rain. Oh yeah. I can dream.

Hey heh... I got one of those Cmoy amps as well. Great little piece of audio gear.

[kansas666]

I have Queen Rocks Montral and I have to agree with the others.

The PQ is outstanding. The audio is great as well.

The only thing I don't like about it is the period it was released. It came out when they were at their peak in America. But I thought their music was much better about 5 years earlier.

I saw Collective Soul's "Home" concert on HD-NET. It was spectacular. I am waiting for it to be released on Blu-ray.

I don't own any movies just concerts. I get bored with a movie after one viewing. But concerts are great time and time again.

The Last Waltz is EXCELLENT. I was very happy to find it was part of the 5-free offer, and I didn't have to get some crappy Bourne movie instead!

i agree with that...note to all...if you havent purchased last waltz you are missing out. i have seriously watched that thing 100 times in the past 6 months. to watch clapton play at his peak or to listen to neil youngs harmonica is something that will never get old. an absolute must own

I use this disc for demo, so I agree that the show is awesome, but for some tracks Dave is just whining rather than actually using words. It just gets annoying after a few demo's. I hope I did not offend you, enjoy the next show in April.

I just picked up Elton 60 Live at Madison Square Gardens. I ALMOST picked up Celene Dion(god knows why) but best buy wanted $32 for it and I passed. I hope now that bluray is the OFFICIAL HD movie format that will soon see a flood of concert films. I love rocking out in HiDef!!! I will be in heaven once Iron Maiden releases a concert in bluray! Maybe a transfer of the absolutely AWESOME Rock In Rio performance? Oh, hell yeah!
