Finally, a blues legend on Blu-Ray:

B.B. King Live!, which is his last DVD release, recorded at his ripe young age of 82 and has gotten very good reviews.

Also, while not exactly blues, definitely Latin/Jazz/R&B with a heavily blues influence http://www.amazon.com/War-Greatest-Hits-Live-Blu-ray/dp/B001FBJUTU
War: Greatest Hits - Live. Looking forward to both.

Both can be had on sale for well <$20 at the 25% off sales.

Man, I though this was for the PBS series on the Blues that would have been really cool, but, it is good to see there doing more than pop, and boomer rock.

That wouldn't have been my 1st choice for a B.B. BD release, but it prolly does have the best image and audio quality of the lot. I hope they really went all-out on the audio.

That's what I was thinking.

That's what I was thinking.You're asking too much. That series wasn't even broadcast in HD, only widescreen SD. I have to wonder if there is even a HD master available for each film. There would have to be considerable work done for it to be made available. It would be a first for a PBS series.

Maybe the next one.
