Just got this today. Love this band!

[KilloWertz]

Cool. Kinda sucks that I won't be able to put it with the rest of my concert Blu-rays, but I already knew that from Best Buy's ad and website.

Does it list the specs for the Blu-ray on the back?

I remember seeing this band play at a local venue a few years ago, before they gained attention. They were terrible.

Unfortunately, it does not. I just shows the tracklisting for each disc. There are 15 songs on the CD and 12 tracks on the Blu-ray. Track #15 of the CD is a bonus track and is a cover of NIN's Closer.

Then go to a Michael Bolton concert where I'm sure you'll get more enjoyment.

That makes no sense, but thanks.

If you plan on watching it soon, you can post them after watching it.

I just checked and unfortunately there is only 1 audio track. 2 Ch. Dolby Digital at 192 kbps.

Wow, that sucks. How's the PQ at least? It seems to be MPEG-4 AVC with a healthy bitrate at least.

I haven't actually watched it yet. I just put the disc in to check the specs for you. There really isn't much to the menu either. It gives you 2 options: Play (to play the entire concert) and Scenes (to play certain songs). When I saw that there was no option on the menu for audio, I just had a feeling that there would only be 1 audio option.

I thought you were about to watch it. My bad.

I'm probably still going to pick it up after work tomorrow.

[RudyC]

i think this band is awesome...actually..maria brink is pretty much the band for me :P

my fav album is beautiful tragedy...the first song i ever heard from them was the title track...

imo..they havnt released a perfect album yet..but the first one is the closest. i always wanted it on vinyl but it was never released.

thanks for the heads up....its on sale for 11.99 right now.

[Blu Myers]

Just ordered through Bestbuy.com via in store pickup. Will have it in hand today. Love Maria. I saw them in concert last year. They were having a lot of sound problems though. The sound would completely go out mid-song and this happened numerous times. Maria was still good though.

I saw them on the Hell Pop tour last year and they were awesome, that should've been filmed since it's way beyond the show that was actually filmed and it was more theatrical. But I'm happy they have a concert on film out. Anyway, I really did not need another copy of Blood (I have the Hot Topic rerelease and also the vinyl) but for $12, it's worth the bluray alone. Wish they could've put the live audio on cd rather than on itunes but whatever.

I'm also disappointed about the menu design too, they could've been really creative with that.

[Scarriere]

I'm all over this!! Blood was in my top 3 albums of 2012! I never got to see them so this will be a nice compromise!

[Britnasty]

Picked this up myself. I'm normally not big on metal music but I love this band.

[jstxanothrxstory]

Managed to snag a copy before the sale was over.

[KilloWertz]

Finally watched my copy. While the audio was disappointing like expected, the PQ was better than expected. I was worried this was going to be similar to the Taylor Swift concert that was a Best Buy exclusive, but the PQ was actually pretty good. At least the audio was loud.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the release. It's another where you can't watch just the concert itself uninterrupted, which is unfortunate, but it doesn't hurt the flow of the concert too much.
