Any good concerts out on Blu-Ray?

[Tube60]

Now that I'm on the hi-def bandwagon, I'd like to know what's good out there for concerts! I'm fairly wide-ranging as far as my tastes in music is concerned. I avoid teen-pop and rap like the plague. Currently I have Sarah McLachlan's Afterglow: Live and Norah Jones and the Handsome Band 2004 on DVD. Wonderful works both by the way!

I have AC/DC live at Donnington. Dave Gilmore's Remember The Night is apparently pretty good too.

You have to get Dave Mathews/Tim Reynolds @ Radio City ...... the production is excellent - the sound is fantastic - and I happen to love the music....

Genesis Live in Rome is pretty darn good, and Joe Satriani Live is awesome too.

1) David Gilmour live at the Royal Albert Hall is very good. Same one Rich has on his list.

2) Chris Botti Live

Tom,
Are u a Toto fan? I saw this group twice in Chicago last year at the House of Blues. Once with Mike Pocaro playing bass with a obvious thumb injury on both hands. The second time with the legendary leland Skylar on the bass. What a incredible group of musicians!!! I have live in Amsterdam but I don't have a blu-ray player yet.............soon.

Doug - out

Yep.. I have almost all of their stuff.. Their earlier work is better, IMHO, but there are some gems in their later work too. The disc has some good "bonus" material also.... tour diaries, etc.

Chris Botti Live

Saturday night I picked up Botti's In Boston at Barnes & Noble on sale. I might watch it tonight if I have time.
I also picked up Nat Geo's Journey To The Edge Of The Universe which should be interesting. Not concert related of course!
I wonder if any of the Lincoln Center jazz concerts are out on BD? I didn't see any, and I haven't yet looked online.:band:

Actually DID see Chris Botti live - about the 7th row or so when he played a double billing with Diana Krall.... A fantastic show to say the least. He was great and really seemed to enjoy his band.

Ok, here we go:
Justin Timberlake - Future Sex Love Show (Good music cor the most part, great looking dancers, and crystal clear audio)
The Cure - Trilogy (phenomenal if you like the Cure)

I watched/listened to Botti last night. Great stuff! I'll try the Dave Matthews disc next paycheck, and keep an eye out for some classical and more jazz!:music:
