Blu Concerts

[HRC]

Anyone else love concerts on blu-ray? I love firing up the home theater and rocking out! I have about 180 concerts on dvd but blu just blows them away! It's definitely a cool experience! I'm slowly building a collection on blu and I can't wait until they start releasing more...and more....and more. I won't be satisfied until I get Iron Maiden in HD!!!

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.

[tmok2000]

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!!

[HRC]

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?

[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!

[BRu-LAy]

Yea, I love them too. Being a Jazz enthusiast, I have both "Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis" and "Chris Botti Live". Great sound.

Anyone like me listen to these with headphones? I use the Grado SR-80s and the sound is awesome!!!

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.

[bjoneill74]

ohhh.. I'll have to try and score the DMB BD..
apparently Genesis is releasing their upcoming DVD on BD as well.

Love concert Blu-ray disk! I am also a Jazz fan and Legends of Jazz and Cris Botti Live are both incredible especially if you can put it through a high end sound system. I use them as demo and all of my friend's mouth literally drop when they experience the sight and sound from this two disks. I am sure it will sound incredible on high quality headphones.

I also have

Elton John
Celine Dion
Dave Matthews

I would say all of above are reference quality disk in sound and sight. I can't wait to get more. Sony please give me Dido! Oh and Blue Man Group too.

Well, the dimly-lit scenes, like the opening group 'discussion' and when the cameras go beneath the stage before and during the concert, are grainy (video cameras tend to get that way in low light) but the shots of the concert itself look pretty much flawless to me....

[yspkrk]

I have...

Elton John
Celine Dion
Chris Botti
Tony Bennette (coming)

I wish ELO/Zoom Tour would be avaiable on Blu-ray soon.
I also like watching classical music concerts. At this time, there's none to buy on blu-ray.

I highly recommend Grado headphones. I own the SR-80s and love them.

[Herr Schmidt]

Yeah Dido would be great. I have the DVD of her show.. That and Shara Mclackland (Eshh.. name butchering here)... the sound on the DVD was great.. but PCM (or TrueHD) is just another level..
