Yeah, unless they start releasing them with Digital copies in a high quality audio format I'm just not interested. Or the artists I collect, I have a lot of concert DVDs. But I've never actually watched one. I convert them to Audio and listen to them.

Wanna sell them?

I've always wanted to do this, but don't know how. Any tips?

The problem is that there aren't many concerts available on Blu-ray yet. I picked up David Gilmour's Remember That Night. It is fantastic.

[cartman781]

I have

Queen
AC/DC
Shakira
Bruce Springsteen
Celine Dion

They are all great

[surfdude12]

yeah, just got Dave Matthews, WOW!!!!!! definitely my #1 demo disk!!

[tiger roach]

I'm with you in spirit, but it will be a while before I have a good sound system for the home theater.

I did get the Sprinsteen on blu - it is a good one. Even Mrs. Roach likes that one.

[blu-backer]

Blue Man Group FTW!

I have the Justin Timberlake concert on dvd and then was browsing one day and it jumped off the blu-ray shelf. It was only $20 too! When I got home, I saw why it was only $20. It looks exactly like the upconverted dvd. It doesn't look like 1080 at all. It looks like they just transfered it to blu-ray with no upgrade in video. Hmmmm. Anyone else have this?

The BD looks pretty terrific to me (and noticeably sharper than the SD DVD). Peter Bracke thought so as well in his review on HDD. (Their site seems to be down at the moment, otherwise I'd provide a link to his review.)

I'll have to watch it again. Maybe I was just expecting more and was kind of disappointed at the time when I first watched it. I'll give it another shot!


p.s. Just got back 10 minutes ago with Dave Matthews. Last one at the store and it was hiding on me but I found it.

the NIN Blu ray......

[zdefonte]

Me gots:

Celine Dion
Chicago / EWF (HD DVD )
Chris Botti Live
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds
Destiny's Child
Elton 60
John Legend
Nine Inch Nails: BYIT
Queen Rock Montreal / Live Aid
Shakira

I think that's it. JT is coming, and Beyonce 'til further notice.

These concerts get the most replay in my home theater. Shakira is my fave, followed by John Legend. I just love to watch these with PCM selected and as loud as my ears can handle.

I was going to get Queen but found my DVD version is very well upscaled with my PS3. The DVD is Korean version and has a DTS audio track and subtitles (lyrics). So, I'll stick with the DVD. Interesting thing is I couldn't control subtitles on/off with my dvd player at all but now my PS3 can do it so easily.
