One of my best friends has it, and I just ordered it last night.

Thanks for the heads up, I realized that too. Took a bit of time to read through the reviews of each before placing the order. Too bad, Toto Falling in Between Live is currently out of stock as of this time in Amazon.

on the Bon Jovi @ MSG show which also comes with a great documentary called 'When We Were Beautiful'.

The concert itself is 5/5

frogmort · 12-21-2011, 03:35 AM

My personal favorites for the Performance/A/V trifecta are:

NIN: Beside You In Time
Dream Theater: Live at Budokan
The Big 4: Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, & Metallica
Time Life: 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame
Jeff Beck: Live at Ronnie Scott's
Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense (not the best video, but the best audio and presentation)

I'm a huge Zep fan, and I did upgrade my VHS version to a DVD version (SE with the news cast from the Tampa show and Celebration Day song live) of the Sound Remains The Same, but this is by far Zep at their WORST! Saw them on that same tour in Tampa, FL and well, how do you explain 58,000 people shaking there heads and saying "the sound, the sound, holy sh..!! Never anyone better in concert. They just were the title of their biography "Thunder of the Gods"!

I don't have but a few concert BD's but the one's I do have find there way into my player often.
The Killers at Royal Albert Hall. Great PQ and AQ plus a great concert to boot.
The CURE Trilogy. Love it, the best sounding and best picture quality concert BD I own.
U2 360 Great concert, just wish it had more of their earlier work,not knocking their new material, I just favor their material from Unforgettable Fire and before.

Sh*t I need to buy more concert Blu's !!

ultlife2013 · 09-26-2013, 03:13 AM

I really like The Eagles Farewell 1 blu.

Also Ladies and Gentleman...The Rolling Stones has a great set list.

The Last Waltz is awesome of course.

Does anyone recommend iron maiden in chile? I really like them and I been on the fence on that one.

rpatt · 09-26-2013, 03:24 AM

This is excellent. The AQ is great and the concert is very interesting. All accoustic with the wonderful accoustics of the Vienna Opera House. I've never heard of a nyckelharpa but it sounds cool.

I'll have to add this to my list. I love acoustical concerts and Joe can certainly play!

You won't be sorry. Joe is an amazing guitarist.

It's awesome. Great performance, insane crowd, lots of energy, and I like the unique "split screen" effect it has for some shots.

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.

I absolutely love it! And Bruce's performance on The Talisman has got to be one of his most passionate. As a hardcore Maiden fan, I'm also glad for some of the newer stuff on it.

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.

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!!!!!!
This one is freakin' GOOD!

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

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

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.

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

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

I still have a lot of concerts in my collection I need to watch. Offhand though, I watched and enjoyed these:

My copy of NIN's Beside You In Time is actually on DVD; I've been debating whether I should upgrade. It is a great concert.

I'm also tempted to list Nightwish's End of an Era, which is a favorite as well, but I heard the Blu-Ray is 720p, so I have no desire to upgrade my DVD copy.

These aren't concerts, but are still darn good musical presentations that I could watch over and over again:

I'd say this one is worth seeing once:
