Only my best DTS concert dvd comes close to this realism.
I don't think it's because stereo equipment isn't capable of reproducing these realisms. It just can't be fully captured on present day recording methods.
Bars are not known for accoustics,so that may have something to do with it.Even if classical music is not your thing,i suggest hearing an orchestra in a good concert hall,it will change the way you think about live music.Talk about power.You can't reproduce that kind of dynamics in your listening room,or anyone's.
