the best music dvd video??
Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris (Roadrunning) is outstanding. It's a mix of Dire Staits with Emmylou's country/folk tunes. The song Nazareth Speedway just plain jams. Recorded live in 2006, Emmylou at the age of 59 still looks fantastic. The quality of recording is excellent. I use the stereo mix so I can't say how the 5.1 sounds. |
Try Black Eyed Peas Sydney to Vegas - good dynamics and actually sounds like a real concert rather than the usual crap. I also agree with the Eagles - excellent sound quality on that one. Of course without the surround channels it is a mute point as you will be missing the "concert experience" where you get to sit in the crowd. I hope you have a processor so you don't simply lose the surround info... |
The Last Waltz (The Band) by Martin Scorcese: 35 mm film transfer and audio is amazing Eagles: Hell Freezes Over Bob Dylan: MTV Unplugged: Excellent Performace Roy Orbison: Black and White with Bruce, Elvis Costello, KD Lang a who's who of rock Dave Matthews at Central Park Dave Waters (Pink Floyd): In the Flesh PortisHead at Roseland Ballroom NYC: Full orchestra, DJ's scratching: Great performances by all, very orginal music but easy to like and listen to Alicia Keys MTV at Brooklyn Academy Sade: Diamond Live James Taylor: Beacon Theatre NYC John Legend: House of Blues Norah Jones: House of Blues Massive Attack 10 Promo Videos OutKast: Great Videos Gorillaz Live John Fogerty: Amazing performance and energy Beatles: Yellow Submarine Pink Floyd: Meddle/Live at Pompeii Roger Waters/P.

This subject has been covered previously in multiple threads. Here's one of the latest threads which also has links to some the others. I've picked up a few since my last post that I would rate as "very good": Mike Oldfield "Live at Montreux 1981" Acoustic Strawbs "Live in Toronto at HUGH'Sroom" John Prine "Live from Sessions and 54th st" . |
Here are a few I like: Cheryl Crow-Com'on America Pearl Jam-Live at the Garden (Disc 2 is spectacular-and I'm not a big PJ fan!) Diana Krall-Live in Paris Blue Man Group-The Complex Rock Tour (good, but not nearly as good as being there) James Taylor-Live at the Beacon Theater (sonically excellent) U2-Vertigo Tour-Live from Chicago The Three Pickers-Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Ricky Skaggs) John McEuen & Jimmy Ibbotson-Nitty Gritty Surround (video and a DVD-A layer) Enjoy, TIC |
Well the old classics are The Eagles and Peter Frampton. The Eagles for sound - it's hard to beat that one - and Frampton because of the good show he put on. You used to couldn't walk into a place that sold middle and high-end equipment in the 90s without that Eagles DVD playing. Others hmmm, I have quite a few but I don't know how many stand out for sound. Most of the good ones are based on groups or an artist I like and the performances are sometimes old (sometimes not) but the sound is not all that great. The show is good and I like the artist so I live with it. Use Netflix to order DVDs you think you might like and then buy use that as a way to decide what you want to own. Another note: the performances on Austin City Limits are excellent and the sound is usually very good. You can find these shows a lot of times on DVD. |
