What is your favorite concert dvd and why?
Mine is David Gilmore in concert.It is an acoustic concert recorded in England with a killer band.It is about half Pink Floyd material and the rest covers.The video is clean and clear and the 5.1 track is solid.The real star,however is the pcm stereo track.In a word,stunning.
thanks

Patty Labelle Live from the Apollo Theater. Watching this woman sing live is like being electrocuted with 1k of power. Anyone who can lay down, roll accross the floor while holding one of the highest notes I have ever heard her sing, and not waver one bit in pitch is awesome in their own right.

Rush in Rio....not greatest in terms of sound quality, but its a rockin concert with a ton of fans.
Eagles 'Hell Freezes Over'...sound quality here is unbelievable. Not even a big Eagles fan, but this DVD will show off you HT like no other.

I have heard this statement before and thus put the disc on my Want List.....

From a purely technical standpoint, I would go with Boz Scaggs' Greatest Hits Live and Pat Metheny Group: Speaking of Now Live. From a purely performance standpoint, I would lean towards Bruce Springsteen Live In Barcelona.
The Boz Scaggs DVD was produced by HDNet for their high definition satellite broadcasts, and if any other concert videos that they might have produced look and sound this good, then I will definitely have to seek more of them out. My background with Boz Scaggs is limited to Silk Degrees and his latter albums, which used a multitude of L.A. session musicians that I used to frequently see around town. The DVD spans a much longer time frame beyond my familiarity, and as such, the music is a mixed bag with me. (But, the DVD was taped at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, which happens to be where I took my now wife on our first date, so I had to at least buy the disc for posterity's sake!) The technical production work at the video end on this disc is quite good, few visible flaws that I could pick up.
And on the audio end, the disc features 5.1 DD and DTS tracks, as well as a 2.0 track processed in SRS surround. The perspective of the audio mix takes more of an "artistic" approach, which does not limit the surround usage to ambient and crowd cues. This recording steers a lot of the keyboards, acoustic guitars, and background vocals into the surround channels, but also matches a lot of the lead instruments up front, which solidifies and stretches the side imaging perspective from the front soundstage back to just behind the listening position. While this creates a very convincing surround effect that plants the listener into the middle of the stage, it's not overdone and the ambient and crowd sounds from the backside are located exactly where they should be in the soundfield. Dynamically, the recording sounds great for an amplified live concert recording, and the layering of the different instruments is well differentiated with a very full sound (the use of two keyboardists and the good decisions in how the instrumentation gets steered into the surrounds probably contribute).
The Pat Metheny Group: Speaking of Now Live DVD is his third concert DVD, and this one was recorded in Japan inside of a concert hall with very good acoustics. This was also the first tour after Metheny revamped his long-time band lineup. Even though the album that this tour supported was unfortunately one of Metheny's weaker recent efforts, the displays of musicianmanship in this concert are very impressive and definitely pointed to greater and more exciting things to come from the new lineup. (Accordingly, the follow up album The Way Up is an absolutely astounding almost epic work that defies description, and one of his June performances of this album in Korea has been taped for DVD release -- can't wait!)
While the video quality of this DVD has its fair share of visible glitches, the audio is superlative. With 4.1 DD and DTS soundtracks, this DVD was mixed without the center channel, and compared to his two previous concert DVDs, it has a very open and ambient sound. Unlike the Boz Scaggs DVD, this sound mix takes the perspective from out in the audience and conveys the ambience of the concert hall very well. Dynamically, the sound is very clean with just the right amount of extension. In fact, when I saw Metheny earlier this year, I kept thinking how much I preferred the sound of the DVD over what his live concert rig sounded like.
The Bruce Springsteen DVD was filmed near the start of his 2002 tour in support of The Rising. Even though Springsteen has long been one of best live rock performers ever with one of the best jam bands around to back him up (they typically rehearse over 200 songs before going on tour, and Springsteen at any given moment might launch into any of them), this was the first time that he released a video that documented an entire concert (his concerts are typically over three hours long, and the playlist will vary from show to show). Even though his previous Live In New York City DVD probably did a better job at chronicling his "greatest hits," the Barcelona show was probably a better overall performance, and it highlighted The Rising which IMO perfectly captured the scope and meaning of 9/11, without resorting to scapegoating and poseur posturing that made its way into other 9/11-themed albums. The audio and video quality are both subpar, but the power of the performance is still evident.

I don't have a favorite, but of the 19 concert DVD's I own, these are the top 5
Tori Amos - "Welcome to Sunny Florida" is a pretty good snapshot of what her live performances are like, and how she turns a stadium into an intimate club setting. Not all her best songs made it, and the sound quality is only average or so (no DTS), but excellent all the same.
Dream Theater -"Live at Budokan", awesome performance, excellent Dolby Digital track, and a fantastic set. An absolute must for any DT fan, and highly recommended for long-time Rush fans
Rush In Rio - just great.
Metallica - S&M - This should have been their swan song...what a send-off it would have been...remembered for all the right reasons. It's amazing how well their old music works with a symphony accompanying.
Allman Brothers - Live at the Beacon Theater - These guys are incredible...excellent from beginning to end...Warren Haynes may very well be the hardest working and most talented musician alive
Dream Theater -"Live at Budokan"
That's probably my #2. Truly amazing
Some other greats, I have A LOT in my library.
Primus - Hallucino Genetics Live 2004. - If you like Primus, enjoy!
John Fogherty - Premonition. Not a huge fan but a great DVD
Roy Orbison - B&W How can you not like Roy?
Crossroads Guitar Festival - Cray, Vaughn (Jimmie), Guy, Clapton, King, Santana and even Steve Vai and others. What more could you asked for?
SRV - Live from Austin City Limits 95'. A must for any collection. The sound and picture pretty much suck but it's Stevie. You still get lost in his playing.
Norah Jones - Live in New Orleans. Put that puppy in the DVD player guys and your gonna get some from the old lady. And it's a great DVD.
Matchbox 20 - Show. I know, I know. But it's a good concert and the sound is pretty good.
Los Lobos - Live at the Filmore. Even if you don't like Los Lobos, you will like this DVD. Awesome sound and they really rock. Yes, they rock!
Depeche Mode - One Night in Paris. I was a huge fan in highschool and saw them about 5 or 6 times live. Great shows. This DVD has pretty good sound and video. Dave Gahan is the man when it comes to front men. The only real negative is they did not include some of their more lesser known "fan hits".
Anyway, just a few of my favorites.

Can't we clean up our spelling and language usage just a bit here? Shouldn't this be----and correct me if I am wrong----watching this WOMAN not WOMEN sing?

Actually, the whole thread kinda blew up before I even took a look at what was going on! Terrence, JSE, and several others on this board have seen Lex's periodic flameouts before. If you really want to go old school, look up the old AR forums and see Lex's trolling when he used to post under the screen name "To Live And Die In NY" in the Home Theater forum, and his subsequent denials when he reemerged on the board under his current moniker. One thread after another asking about how to calibrate an Onkyo TX-SR600 without using a SPL meter. His responses were quite comical and all too predictable, just as they have been on this thread.
Until JSE blows us all away with a blast of noxious fumes?

You're right, if Lex makes a definitive statement about a technical aspect of a dvd that is incorrect, then in the interest of potential consumers it should be corrected. But we all know what's gonna happen afterwards.
As far as the credentials go, I have my own beliefs about that, but I would rather not debate them. It's amusing to a point, but I can see where a newbie might be...well, you know what I mean.

If you really want to go old school, look up the old AR forums and see Lex's trolling when he used to post under the screen name "To Live And Die In NY" in the Home Theater forum, and his subsequent denials when he reemerged on the board under his current moniker. One thread after another asking about how to calibrate an Onkyo TX-SR600 without using a SPL meter. His responses were quite comical and all too predictable, just as they have been on this thread.
Yep, I remember him, but I couldn't remember his old moniker.

Los Lobos - Live at the Filmore. Even if you don't like Los Lobos, you will like this DVD. Awesome sound and they really rock. Yes, they rock!
This article might be of interest. It discusses how the 5.1 mix for that Los Lobos DVD was done. Sounds very interesting, and I don't have any concert DVDs that were done at the Fillmore. I've seen several concerts there, and it's a great venue.
The article also discusses the Boz Scaggs DVD that I mentioned earlier. Interesting point in that article about how sound engineers are shying away from heavily using the center channel in concert DVD soundtracks.

Dean,
I wasnt throwing ANY PHONY credentials around in anyone's face.....what you read are real, no BS assesments of the audio and video portions of these discs.....believe whatever you want Dean, but he is plainly WRONG.
If he wants me to DIE, believe me, the feeling is very mutual.......VERY mutual.......
The point is Lex, I don't care what your credentials are. You don't need to have credentials to post here. If I wanted credentials I would subscribe to a magazine or something. There are a lot of folks here who have opinions and have made observations of fact that are just as reliable as those from folks with "credentials." I read many of your reviews, but I don't take them as the last word on the dvd. That's not a knock against you, that's just being responsible for my own choices. Heck, you've obviously developed a style and format. Your concern should be getting ripped off by someone and not whether you can "prove" that a dts track isn't any better than a dd track when someone takes issue with you. Sometimes "OK, but that's what I heard" is all you need to say.
Oh, and no one should DIE over this. I'll be really pissed if I see something on the evening news and get a call from some homicide detective. The sword thing was an analogy.

Hey Whooch, thanks for the link. Interesting read. I really don't mind when the center channel is not used heavily. If your system is set up right, you hardly notice. Besides, I really like how my Boston's handle voices.
I'll have to check the Scaggs DVD out. Definitely check out the Los Lobos DVD. It's really cool and I am not really a fan of theirs but it's just fun to listen to and sounds so good.

Hey Whooch, thanks for the link. Interesting read. I really don't mind when the center channel is not used heavily. If your system is set up right, you hardly notice. Besides, I really like how my Boston's handle voices.
It seems that sound engineers moving from two-channel to multichannel have been debating among themselves whether or not to use the center channel. Lately, I've seen a consensus building to minimize the usage of the center speaker, at least with live recordings. Pat Metheny's Imaginary Day DVD-A uses the center channel to anchor the lead guitar sound, but at times will switch the center speaker off and deliberately spread the guitar tracks into the other four speakers to create a larger and more spatial sound.
I'll have to check the Scaggs DVD out. Definitely check out the Los Lobos DVD. It's really cool and I am not really a fan of theirs but it's just fun to listen to and sounds so good.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to look for a copy after work. I saw Los Lobos at a street festival about 20 years ago, and they absolutely floored the crowd, which was one of the most mixed audiences I've ever seen. At that time, they had a following with the underground punk/rockabilly crowd, as well as long time Latino fans who go back to their days playing Mexican folk music.

The more i think about it now the more i want it, think i will go buy it this weekend and just take a chance,.and one other thing is i seem to have a hard time finding 16x9 live concerts so i hate to let this one get buy me ,hate giving $25.00 bucks for a dvd but thats the way it is, if anyone has seen this concert let me know what you think of it . surely it would be pretty good being the eagles. thanks

OOHHHHHHHHH, the good ol' days...reading those previous posts are a hoot.
anyway, s.dog....i purchased the farewell tour DVD and enjoy it. They don't play the same songs as the 'Hell Freezes Over' DVD so I picked it up based on the sound quality of the first DVD. The sound here is close to the first, but not quite there. I'd recommend dropping the $25, heck...its a lot less than a tank of gas.

Another note of the Pat Metheny: Speaking of Now Live DVD that I wrote about earlier. This DVD uses the full bitrate version of DTS on its soundtrack (most music and concert DVDs that include DTS soundtracks use a half-bitrate DTS soundtrack because of space limitations). Comparisons with the DD soundtrack in this case, especially with the acoustic instruments and the ambient effect in the surround channels, show a pretty clearcut advantage with the DTS soundtrack (need to adjust the level by about 4 db to match the DD and DTS soundtracks).
In my listenings, the full bitrate version of DTS is the way to go. In addition to a handful of discs that Universal and Warner issued a few years ago, the only other place where I've frequently seen full bitrate DTS soundtracks is with DVD-A discs. Even if you don't have a DVD-A player, a lot of the DVD-A discs include DTS soundtracks, and those are sometimes the full bitrate versions.

"Lex, why would I want to read a review of an album/DVD I've already bought and listened to over and over and over again?"
First of all, Kexo, I dont understand the hostility here from you in particular --- I dont care about the other children in here who are bantering and tooting their own horns and making absolutely no crease in my credentials or spirit whatsoever, Im talking about you ---- you mentioned S&M so I threw that review up just because I thought you'd find it interesting. Is that cause for a response like you supplied? If you didnt want to read it, fine, thats all good.....I dont care; I was putting it up there for you to just read and somewhat enjoy or see if you found the same things IF you owned the DVD itself; I didnt know you would be so emotional about it. So dont read it, okay.
"I think maybe you're getting carried away a bit here."
How's that? I believe you are getting carried away yourself a bit by claiming that you wouldnt want to read a review of something you already heard instead of just saying "thank you, I kind of found the same results" or "thanks for thinking of the concert" or some other such response; I didnt expect you to react like this to a review I dug up specifically for you. Boy, lesson learned sir. Dont worry about it.
"Engaging in flame wars here isn't helping your cause any, either."
You're right, Kexo-----I start every one of these attacks when they appears in here-----Im just going to be sarcastic with you and say you're right (which is absolutely ridiculous but I'll do it)......it's funny how others' actions aren't looked upon as "flaming" when these issues come up and now my "cause" is at stake? LOL.....what cause would that be? Are you referring to a child that "virtually" chases someone around the internet and takes time out of his life (and I AM honored, BELIEVE ME) to find my name elsewhere as to my "cause" and the attempt to defend myself against him? I really am honored that all these people keep thinking about me all day, though.....it's great and refreshing. I'll keep writing what I write and do what I do, with no spirit, will or backbone broken.
And I seriously think you should re-evaluate where you are throwing that "flame" word towards and look elsewhere.

Whatever that means; add a space between your words where it's appropriate, please. Thank you.
Why can't you answer our questions? Oh that's right, because you are a LIAR! You live in your own delusional world where you created fake identities and worlds for yourself to make yourself feel better about your sad failed life so far.
Everyone has your number excpet you. You are delusional and actually sad. If you think you have 1 ounce of cred in this forum, you are wrong. If you think anyone believes your lies, your wrong. If you think anyone thinks you write for magazines, your wrong.
Your so easy to pick apart and discredit it's "almost" not fun anymore. So, carry on with your delusional ways and keep those lies coming. It is entertainment.

Why would anyone do that, the last review that you did, I fell asleep reading it. Too long, gave away too much, wow, after reading the review I didn't want to see the movie. Not a sign of a "professional reviewer" as you so often state. Sorry but there is no Scott Aruti working for Hometheater magazine. I checked out the last several months of issues. Do you wanna try another magazine?
So you know how to spell check. Why is telling the truth so hard for you?

Hahahhahahaaha......do you REALLY think I would give a real moniker? Get off it, please......I would NEVER.
Who cares about your opinion about the review anyway? And how can you fall asleep IF YOU STAYED UP TO READ IT ALL, can you answer that?

And for one who banters and accuses another of so much.....I've never seen any of Mr. K's reviews on here.....can he do better? Doubtful and unlikely.

"Superbit sale discussion madness,"
The comma goes outside the quote...
"What you're sacrificing on that Deluxe Edition is the Superbit's DTS mix, which is, as I will report, STELLAR compared to the bare bones edition's Dolby Digital 5.1 mix --- but, considering the extras you are getting on that Deluxe Edition, and if you are a history buff and are really interested in the facts behind this story, that Dolby Digital track will pack the necessary punch for you; in MY case, it was simply the AUDIO experience I was after, as this disc --- the SUPERBIT version that is --- continues to appear in Home Theater magazine's top discs for audio lists issue after issue of which I contribute my vote for it each time as part of their editorial staff."
Ever hear of a run-on sentence?
"BUT, that is NOT to take away from"
You don't start sentences with prepositions...
"and that's the appeal of the film; almost from start to finish this film"
Why is that semi-colon there? Shouldn't this just be two sentences?
Do you want me to continue? I just found those in your "review" of Blackhawk Down...

Kam,
I don't care about anyone's spelling. I type about 80-90wpm, and I may hit a wrong key here and there. These mistakes happen, and I don't spell check anything I write here. I also make no claim to be a professional reviewer, and the one who does should have no excuses for poor punctuation and spelling. The length of the reviewers, the lack of any technical information(bitrates) and the fact the titles he reviews are as old as George Washington makes me believe we have a perp on our hands. Professional reviewers get their review material long before it hits the shelves, not after I have worn out two copies of it.

Believe all you like about having a "perp"......and there's nothing wrong with re-visiting old titles; in fact, I was told by a member here that the old titles are more enjoyable to read a review of.

Answer the questions LIAR!
From day one on this site you have lied to everyone. You have never been anything more than a LIAR and a failure. Your pathetic attempt at being a DVD reviewer, your insistence on who you are and are not, your delusional rants and your sad sad life are just examples of how big of a loser you really are. You failed at living in NY, you failed at keeping a girlfriend, you failed at trying to hide behind different monikers, you failed to convince anyone on this site that you are anything more than an outright liar 100% of the time, and you have failed as a human being. YOU ARE A LOSER! Being a "beat on" member of these forums is the best your going to do at life, so get used to it. Friendless, sad and pathetic. Enjoy! Go cry to mommy and daddy. We all know who you are.
However, you can prove us wrong by giving us some names of magazines you work for. That would prove your only 99% a loser.

I say we just ignore him(but do challenge his reviews if they are not factual), and let's keep our film section clear of this silly crap. I think your post just about summed this up.

JSE -
I found the Los Lobos Live At The Fillmore DVD a couple of days ago and I must say that's quite a find, so many thanks for the recommendation! The performance was great and their reperatory is as impressively diverse as ever.
You were also right about the quality of the PCM track. Very well recorded with a strong center image on the mix. But, one very interesting note on the 5.1 DD soundtrack -- that particular mix virtually puts you on the floor of the Fillmore Auditorium. The way that the 5.1 DD mix was done sounds very reminiscent of how the house PA system at the Fillmore sounds. The LFE track in particular is almost identical to how the bass at the Fillmore sounds. And the imaging perspective seemed like how it would sound from the middle of the floor.
Again, thanks for the tip, I'm enjoying this! :D
