Music Performances - Blu-ray Forum

You've come to the right place my friend, and I'll be more than happy to share with you some of my favourite concert BD's.

I'll list them based on the highest number of times I watched and listened to them, although that infers my muscial tastes, which may be different than yours. Here we go.

1. Legends of Jazz Showcase - (JAZZ) The PQ/AQ are phenomenal. However it is not as long as I would have expected. The individual performances are top-notch and worth it based on seeing "Clark Terry's - Mumbles" alone. A classic scat!

2. David Gilmour: Live at The Royal Albert Hall - (ROCK) The PQ at times leaves a little to be desired, but the concert and AQ is unforgettable. A definate buy if you're at all a Pink Floyd fan.

3. Tony Bennett: An American Classic (JAZZ/SWING) - What can you say about Tony Bennett other than he is a true classic. Both PQ/AQ are outstanding and the guest performers are at the top of their game as well. A most enjoyble disc with a great "cheezy" factor that's actually enjoyable.

4. Chris Botti Live (JAZZ) - Superb AQ/PQ. Guest performers really put on a great show and you can tell they enjoyed the evening. For my money, Chris Botti does the best ever version of "My Funny Valentine" as well.

5. Elton John 60: Live at Madison Square Garden (ROCK) - What can you say about Elton John that hasn't already been said. The man is an amazing talent and has a flair that only he could pull off. PQ/AQ are definate showstoppers (just like the man) and it's a beast of a program with 33 songs.

I'll leave it to the others to post some alternatives, although I will add Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City simply because of its stellar PQ/AQ. If your a fan...this would have to be a first buy for you.
