What concerts do you recommend on Blu?

I also really liked the documentary on the road crew and behind the scenes for organizing the tour included on the disc as well.

However, be warned that the set list for that one ('En Vivo') is light on classics and heavy on Maiden's post-2000 material. If you like 'Brave New World' and their 2010 album, 'The Final Frontier', then it is a "must" buy. But if you just want to see Maiden play their 80s songs only, I recommend the 'Flight 666' blu ray.

I have both, and they both get heavy rotation on my system.

Thanks a lot. I picked up the iron maiden route 666 blu ray and it's pretty damn awesome. How are the newer iron maiden tracks on the dance of death album?

DAAAAAMMMMN!!!!!!

If you like instrumental jam sessions, run, don't walk to pick this one up!

Not quite sure what you are asking here, as Dance of Death came out back in 2003.... but the song 'Dance of Death' (the only song from that album performed on 'En Vivo') is one of the highlights of the concert.

I can't believe they pulled that one off so well on stage - I didn't think Bruce's voice could handle that song on tour. But the man impresses.

Oh I see, cool I might pick up the blu.

I'm thinking of picking up AC/DC No Bull bluray though.

Glad you liked but isn't the Audio just Lossy on this release (DD 5.1)

Not that that means this is bad, I'm sure it sounds fine, but I wonder why we didn't get a nice Lossless Audio release

I'll have to double check when I get home.

That's a great concert, but be warned that the video quality is not great.

AC/DC Live at Donington is the better blu ray, in my opinion.

Packaging clearly states DTS HD MA, my receiver says DTS HD HI RES. That said it's certainly not the best mix I've heard but far from the worst. The performances more than make up for any slight short-comings in the audio IMO. One of the best, if not the best bass solos I've ever seen on video in any format, simply amazing. Some of the reviews I read made it sound like only musicians would appreciate this release. I disagree, I'm not a musician and had a grin on my face from beginning to end. All of the solos seemed almost redundant. The chops shown in nearly every song would have made solos for most all musicians. Simply stunning to me.

Yea I heard or read that too. Lol, "Dts HD Hi Res"

I'll get it when the price is right eventually anyway.

Cool thanks for letting me know.

One musical related documentary that I would love to get on bluray is the Beatles anthology. Does anyone know if it's possible that it could be released?

Sorry for the question instead of a recommendation...

Does anybody know if Testament's Dark Roots of Thrash is coming out on blu-ray in North America?

I see it on amazon.co.uk here

But on amazon.com, it looks like just the DVD is showing...unless I'm missing it somewhere.
Thanks!
Jeff
