Glad you love the show. You should have listened to me last May when I recommended it. You could buy it from Amazon US for $11.49 back then and it was in NTSC format.

lol - guess I'm a slow learner. Still wuz under $20 shipped to me door and NTSC is pointless for me now anyhoo. :p

You are correct I do follow jazz but not necessarily the jazz guitar. My radar never focused much on Methany, hence my absence for the last 30 years….nice comment. Actually as a player John Scofield catches my attention more.

My goal was to pass along information not to justify, debate or qualify my musical listening background because that’s personal. Like I mentioned in the beginning of my post this message is for those of us who have not been around for the last 30 years….

My 30 years comment refers to the length of time Pat Metheny has been recording and performing as leader of his own group, not the age of the concert on the Blu-ray you mention. You would have to have ignored jazz guitar altogether and failed to notice countless mentions of him and his innovations and music in newspapers, magazines, television, and the internet for decades now not to know that the Pat Metheny Group has been very prominent in modern jazz since the mid-1980s, regardless of whether his music is to your taste. I really was commenting on your adjective "side man" to describe him, as Pat Metheny has been his own bandleader for 3 decades now, in addition to numerous side projects he's done with other musicians. It would be somewhat like if I mentioned that I was familiar with David Bowie only from his work as a backup singer for David Gilmour's show at the Royal Albert Hall in 2006. :p

Derek Trucks is a 'side man' for Carlos Santana...... :p

Lol. He and his wife's band are touring right now. Ticketmaster sent me a notice that they will be be near me at the end of April, but I already have tickets to see Tom Petty that same night! Too bad, as I would have liked to see Tedeschi-Trucks. Revelator is a nice album, if you don't already have it.

Well I guess referring to him as a side man verifies I have not been a fan thus have not followed him. I’m pretty certain there are artists we are all are familiar with but not a fan of which we have lost touch with because of lack of interest (regardless of their media presence). I know this is the case with me.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but his playing just leaves me cold. I love blues guitar and play a tiny bit myself, but he seems so soulless. I loves me some Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, SRV (saw him live in '84), B.B., Albert King, and even blue-eyed English blues like Clapton, but I just cannot abide Joe B. I'm sure he'll get over it, but still...

Thanks, but I've long known about KWS (and I have one of his CDs, which no longer gets any play from me). Despite his meeting and being inspired by SRV as a kid, KWS is even more soulless than Joe B, in my opinion. It takes more than technique to play the blues. It takes soul, inspiration, feeling, heart. Eric Clapton has it. Stevie Ray Vaughn had it. Kenny Wayne Shepherd does not. Not an ounce.

I appreciate the recommendation anyway.

I appreciate the recommendation anyway.What's the phrase... vive la différence, I don't care for SRV in the least. I like Joe, not so much specifically for his playing, but the whole package, the sound of the band, songs, playing etc.

I'm glad there are so many options for each of us to find some we like.

I take it you've never seen Joe live, i've seen him twice on this tour and there is no one else playing today that can top his live shows. He plays for over two hours non stop and gives it his all. I own all of his studio recordings and agree that some songs sound just alright but played live they are transformed into some of the best blues/rock masterpieces that stand up to anything SRV or Clapton ever performed.
Sample anything from Live From Nowhere In Particular or the Royal Albert Hall concert to get an idea of what he is capable of, and yes, I pre-ordered Live At The Beacon on Wednesday. Now the long wait till I get hands on it.

KWS soulless... well I guess everyone has an opinion.
I'm not sure how you are defining soulless, I live in Chicago and have listened to tons of the old school guys.

I haven't seen him "live" live, but I've seen him in a live performance at Clapton's Crossroads Festival from the 2010 Blu-ray. I couldn't wait for his gig to end and for the next act to come on. Thanks for the recommendations. Maybe I haven't given him a fair chance.

Never mind, I found it. This will be my halftime show. No offense Madonna.

I've been listening and watching the Mississipi Sheiks Tribute Concert

http://thebluegrassspecial.com/archive/2010/november10/imagesnov10/mississippi-sheiks-vancouver.jpg

It's got some really good performances and the sound quality is decent. The stand-up base on Sweet Maggie goes really deep and is a great test for your sub system. Also allowed me to find a lot of the rattles in my room and brace them.

The DVD is not an immersive concert and the video is pretty plain vanilla but the song and performances are very good.

Never mind, I found it. This will be my halftime show. No offense Madonna.

Just did a quick run through. Wow, great show, sound and 3d adds to the experience. This will be in heavy rotation

Well now, since you bring up the Blues, here are some pics of the Johnny Winter show I went to last week at The Granada Theater in Dallas:

He's pretty old and frail now, but the band was tight, and he can still wail on the guitar.

Has anybody heard the Nine Inch Nails-live Beside You In Time? I was thinking about ordering it from Amazon.

I haven't seen him "live" live, but I've seen him in a live performance at Clapton's Crossroads Festival from the 2010 Blu-ray. I couldn't wait for his gig to end and for the next act to come on. Thanks for the recommendations. Maybe I haven't given him a fair chance.Have you heard his collaboration with Beth Hart? If you have and still call him soulless then something is wrong. By the way, the same thing was said of Clapton in his early years. Look it up, Rolling Stone panned him as not being authenic. I do think Joe can be a bit derivative, but hell who isn't. As far as KWS, he is intense for sure. Whether that counts as "soul", I don't know. Having seen some of the greatest guitarist in their prime (Duane Allman, Dickie Betts before alchohol took over, Clapton with early Cream ), Joe ranks up there with them all AND he can sing.

By the way, the Clapton 2010 Crossroads show was not in any way represenative. I was at the show, and Joe was just "doing his duty" as he wasn't given much time at all. Frankly, most of the Crossroads show is more a brief representation of an artist rather than how an artist does in their own concert setting.

Finally, one of the great unsung guitarist is Leslie West. Pick up any of his blues albums (solo only, I am not a fan of Moutain) especially his latest. It is awesome. In the last year, he lost his leg to diabetes, got right back up and is touring again. Now that in my opinion is "soul". If in doubt, read some of the things people have said about his jamming with Hendrix.

Has anybody heard the Nine Inch Nails-live Beside You In Time? I was thinking about ordering it from Amazon.

I have that on Blu-ray, and it's a pretty potent document of NIN in action. I recommend it for anyone who has seen them (but doesn't own it yet), and for those who wish they could have seen them lately.

It takes soul, inspiration, feeling, heart. Eric Clapton has it. Stevie Ray Vaughn had it. Kenny Wayne Shepherd does not. Not an ounce.

I appreciate the recommendation anyway.

There would be some that may say that for KWS ot Joe B to have the same "soul" in their playing as the great blues/rock legends, they also would need to truly live the life & have years of said life infect their playing.

Of course, I doubt either KWS or Joe B wish to enhance their soulfulness via years of waking up to a shot glass of whisky mixed w/ cocaine (SRV) or go on months long heroin benders (Clapton).

Well now, since you bring up the Blues, here are some pics of the Johnny Winter show I went to last week at The Granada Theater in Dallas:

So, I ordered it. Along with 2 other "People also view" blues DVDs :o

Watching my Mississippi Sheiks tribute CD, the second song is "Things about comin' my way" sung by Oh Susanna (apparently she goes by this name). Anyway, it got me in the mind to buy some more strong woman blues singers. Any suggestions?

Late to the party on the blues discussion.
Anyone on the fence about KWS should check out the "10 Days Out" DVD. Shows him on a 10 day journey through the south, meeting and playing with a great cross-section of blues artists - from BB King & Gatemouth Brown to an obscure old woman he jams with in her tiny kitchen. The trip ends at a church where he plays with the surviving members of Muddy Waters & Howlin Wolf's bands.
It is the 1st DVD I grab when I need a blues fix, along with Clapton's "Sessions for Robert Johnson".

I need to grab this, as I also really like the "Sessions for Robert Johnson" Clapton title. I saw KWS live a few years ago and really enjoyed the show.

Also, you true blues fans who have a universal player, check out Junior Wells "Come On In This House" (SACD) - excellent recording.

Double Trouble is great!
BTW, I'd like to recomend this blues documentary, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Double Trouble introducing very special blues musicians. Absolutely great!

I'm very surprised that Lars Ulrich would allow anything they do to show up on a free site. The audio and video are out of sync on my laptop here, but nevertheless, very cool vid vision-master.

I think it's time to finally add some good, live Metallica to my collection. DVD or BD concert recommendations appreciated...

The cynical answer is that there are no good live Metallica DVD/BD. The one I like best is "Francais Pour Une Nuit", and their disc on the Big Four release is alright. If they would ever release one where the drums weren't the loudest thing in the mix it would be nice, but we all know Lars isn't going to let that happen.

The times they are a changing......... :)

Actually, you're wrong........... maybe you need 8 to 16 gig of ram and an updated video card? You need a HDMM system? :p
So, instead of even acknowledging the fact that I expressed my gratitude about the video you posted, you decide to focus on my harmless, off-the-cuff comment about it being out of sync, and insist my equipment is out of date, and thus taking the thread way off topic. Really dude? :rolleyes:

Oh and, "HDMM"??? What's that? Enlighten me vision.

Nope. :)

Your streaming it my friend......
Not sure what that means. It's out of sync because he's streaming it, or because he could get in trouble with the FBI because he's watching it? If you're posting videos that were illegally uploaded to YouTube, the posts should probably be reported to a mod.

So you live in fear down there.
What the hell kind of remark is that?

Why not contact the FBI bc I'm watching aso called prirate rock concert on youtube. :p
Wow. Ya know what I've noticed dude? You seem to camp out in this thread pretty much exclusively. Why is that? What do you watch concert DVD's on? You also come across as a smart-ass most of the time too. Are there some new parameters for this thread that every other member who posts something that ends up drawing smart-ass remarks from you needs to be made aware of?

Oh I see. HDMM means HD Multi-media computer. Does your HDMM have a 57" screen? :rolleyes:

This isn't a concert, really but an amazing documentary with lots of music. You see me laughin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPlX2K1vl-A)

The post card included in the DVD is worth it alone.

$98 for 48 hours of music, this is a bargain if you're a Deadhead....

No good ones and the one I like best? :confused: :p

LOL.
I guess I should have said "the one I dislike least". Nice catch.

$98 for 48 hours of music, this is a bargain if you're a Deadhead....

How many Deadheads actually own a Blu-ray player?

Aren't most of them still using a Sharpie to label their latest score of some rare bootleg cassette tape?

:cool:

48 hrs of the Dead. :p

The Grateful Dead movie is enough for me. Imagine all those 1/2 hr songs... :D

Actually, a lot of us aging Deadheads are now doctors and lawyers. All of that great bootleg stuff is on the internet now in high res. Checkout archive.org sometime.

Heh. Yeah, I know. Just projecting from memory of my Deadhead buddies in college and law school. That was more than a couple of decades ago. I'm sure most of them are doing just fine. I'll bet a few of them even have BDPs.

:D

Are we sure they are BDs? 47 hrs of DVDs would be a great deal for $98, 47 hrs of BDs would be unbelievable:eek:

Just bc it's 'Bluray' don't mean it's better quality than SD. Old grainy video is still old grainy no matter what format it's in.

Are we sure they are BDs? 47 hrs of DVDs would be a great deal for $98, 47 hrs of BDs would be unbelievable:eek:

They are not BD, DVD only....

The only one of the discs that has been released on bluray is the "Grateful Dead Movie". I doubt most of the others would be released that way as most of them are taken from the NTSC video screens that were used next to the stage for the shows. Only a couple of the shows appear to be from a film archive, and for example, the footage from the Pyramid shows was pretty simple film, not high professional quality. Some of us old time Dead junkies have them already anyway, and some of the 'extras' were actually in a great collectors addition put out a few years back with some books and memorabilia and other items with some extra show discs included. It is a beautiful collection. This will be a great purchase if you are missing some of the shows though, as many of them have been out of print for many years (such as some of the 'view from the vault' shows) except on places like ebay and with some dealers who collected a bunch on release day.

Now if you really want to spend some hours with the Dead, I recommend the recent release of the box set from the Europe '72 tour. It came in a neat suitcase or trunk with stickers from the towns of all of the shows on the box. No video involved, but the box set has the complete recording from all 22 shows from the tour. They were made from the original 16 track tapes from the shows. WB had them lug around the 16 track for the entire tour, and they were used for some 'greatest hit records' back in the day. They were recently totally remixed, mastered at 96/24 and released in a box set unfortunately on HDCD discs, not Hi-rez. Some of the finest mixes of Dead shows I have ever heard. 73 CD's in all. Now that's what I call a "box set".

;)

Just bc it's 'Bluray' don't mean it's better quality than SD. Old grainy video is still old grainy no matter what format it's in.

Thats true but unlike old video the audio can be better in HD formats.

This title will be released on March 9, 2012.

It really blows that Europe seems to always gets music Bluray/DVD releases 2 months before the US market, and then many Bluray releases never even make it to the US.

Maybe it has something to do with the BULLCRAP US copyright laws and music industry contracts.

Hope it works in the Bluray player, otherwise it's time to purchase that Bluray computer drive for the HTPC. Something I've been meaning to do anyways. :p

Yeah just remember you need special software to play Bluray on a HTPC.

I've seen the Broadway version 3x but finally got a chance to get this BR after 25 years. It's a classic if you enjoyed the show. For some reason, I could only played DTS 2-channel, not 5.1. It was great to see Sarah Brightman doing one of the songs (Phantom of the Opera w/ 5 Phantom actors) in the finale.

Hi Folks,

I wanted to give some of you a heads up. I was searching for Blu rays versions of a couple of Phil Collins concerts today. I didn’t find what I wanted but he does have a new realase coming out next month.
Phil Collins: Live at Montreux 2004 [Blu-ray] -$15.49

From the site;
Editorial Reviews
Phil Collins has made a number of appearances at Montreux over the years as a solo artist, with his big band or as a guest performer with the likes of Eric Clapton and Quincy Jones. The main show on this Blu-Ray was filmed in high definition at the 2004 festival and captures Phil performing all of his best known hits from his solo career. The bonus material is a performance by the Phil Collins Big Band at Montreux in 1996. This is the first time any of Phil's big band material has been made available. This combination of all his classic songs coupled with the rarely seen big band material shows the breadth of musical genres Phil has covered in his career and makes a perfect celebration of Phil Collins association with Montreux. / Bonus Features: Phil Collins Big Band Live At Montreux 1996: 1) Two Hearts 2) That's All 3) In The Air Tonight 4) Invisible Touch 5) West Side 6) Against All Odds 7) Hand In Hand 8) There'll Be Some Changes Made (featuring Tony Bennett) 9) Milestones 10) Los Endos 11) Always 12) Do Nothing Til You Hear From Me 13) Sussudio / Track Listing: 1) Drum Thing 2) Something Happened On The Way To Heaven 3) Against All Odds 4) Don't Lose My Number 5) You'll Be In My Heart 6) One More Night 7) Can t Stop Lovin You 8) Hang In Long Enough 9) True Colours 10) Come With Me 11) A Groovy Kind Of Love 12) I Missed Again 13) Another Day In Paradise 14) No Way Out 15) Separate Lives 16) In The Air Tonight 17) Dance Into The Light 18) You Can't Hurry Love 19) Two Hearts 20) Wear My Hat 21) Easy Lover 22) Sussudio 23) It's Not Too Late 24) Drums Again 25) Take Me Home


So you may not be a Phil fan but the tip I saw posted by another Amazon.Ca customer was that Amazon.ca discounts pre orders and then once they are released the price goes up, but you save by pre ordereing. The difference can be $6-10.

Back to the concert itself. I’m anxious to get it as I have 2 of his Paris shows (1997 & 2004) on DVD and they are awesome. Like the 2 Eagles concerts, I was hoping they would come out on Blu Ray ( Yes I have read that because of the way and time they were taped, I shouldn’t hold my breath). So if his performance on this Montreux show is half as good as the 2 Paris dvds, then seeing and hearing it on Blu Ray will make me happy.

So does anyone know of any soon to be released Blu Ray concerts that you’d recommend ?

The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall [Blu-ray]

It was great to see Sarah Brightman doing one of the songs (Phantom of the Opera w/ 5 Phantom actors) in the finale.

Got this one because the wife loves the show (I admit to liking quite a few of the songs myself) and the sound is excellent; listened in DTS-MA 5.1 without problem. I wouldn't mind getting more stage presentations on Blu Ray if they were on par with this one, as it was very well done.

I'm a prude. :o I won't buy another unless it's 1080p and DTS-MA or TrueHD. The technical advantages go up exponentially with the capability of a system. For instance, at 14' wide, my DVD of James Taylor or Norah Jones look like @#$%. Doesn't matter so much on a TV. Once my eyes and ears have tasted a production like the Dave and Tim disc or David Foster, it's not worth the time to watch most others.

Problem is, it's such a slow trickle of these technical gems. Honestly, I wonder if I enjoy a fine production better than I do the band itself. I could watch ANYTHING at the quality level of DM and TR.

Which David Foster and friends is the best; Hit Man 2009 (BD) or Hit Man Returns 2011 (DVD). The BD by virture of BD, or are they both equally good?

Any other Foster recommendations.

They are fairly close in quality. The first one (2009) is the better though. Better performances and technically superior.

A must have , if you're an RT fan.

Adele- I very much enjoyed it. For content alone, it's one of my favorites now. She's a delight, making the concert very personal. Technically, it was a mixed bag for me. Particularly the faster tempo songs, were almost ruined by the goofy, busy video editing. Audio did some things very well and others not so much. Her voice was well presented and was the clearest and most direct vocal of any concert I have. On quiet acoustic numbers it was distinct and impressive. However, I did notice compression on the louder numbers. When the full orchestra joined in, it lost separation and simply became muddy. I also would have preferred a more solid low end. It wasn't as tight and potent as some. I boosted the LFE by 4db and it helped bring it out some, but overall it was sloppy LFE I thought.

Still, I would put this near the top of the pile as a great night of musical enjoyment that will get repeated viewing in our theater!

Thinking back, I remember that it defaults to 2.0 and you have to click 5.1, just like back in the day in the early days of DVD.

I second that. I liked it alot and now consider it in my top 10.

Ditto. I got this one on SD-DVD. Her voice was awesome at time. It's amazing that she was 21 when the "album" was released.

You ppl are sooooooo mainstream. 'Yawn'...........

I'm sure you're ribbing us, but I've never understood the "mainstream isn't cool" theory. As if popularity waters down talent? I really don't care how many other people like what I like.

I've said this before, my enjoyment of production value and the technical quality of a disc are in most cases more important than the content itself. I love to hear my system at its best. Don't think I'd listen to my favorite performer if it was only available in a thrown together piece of junk disc.

Why are all most all the Bluray concerts 1080i now? :mad:

Why are all most all the Bluray concerts 1080i now? :mad:

Because they look much better at 1080i60, vs the film look of 1080p24. The ones shot at 1080p24 that I have seen make it seem like you are watching a movie rather than a live concert.

Why don't you call Sony and find out? :p

So why the 1080p TV's? :p

So why the 1080p TV's? :p

Its about framerate, not resolution. 60i will always look more live, real and smooth compared to 24p. Bluray does not support 60p.

Santana live at Montreux 2011 blu ray. Excellent video and audio (see review at bluray.com). The concert is almost three hrs. long and spans the greatest hits of his career including the classics from the late 60's and 70's. I was a little apprehensive during his intro and then version of AC/DC "Back in Black", but then the real fun kicked in and I was in heaven (even a guest appearance by Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi). This may be the best sounding blu ray concert in my collection, the dts HD audio is incredible.

You forgot Carlos new wife (played with the band in one song). :)

They don't have the fire of new groups, very polished and more jazzy these day's..... BUT - One of the best live act's I've ever seen. :)

I just watched Santana live at Montreux 2011 Bluray this weekend everything about the release is top knotch.

It's in my Amazon cart. Just need another concert DVD/BD to get free shipping, but it's a toss up right now between Peter Gabriel's "New Blood Live..." BD & a Moody Blues BD.

Hmmm... the price of the Santana BD just went up two bucks since putting it in my cart yesterday. :mad:

The Moody Blues: Lovely to See You: Live from the Greek......... is a good one, even though Ray Thomas retired a few years ago.

It's in my Amazon cart. Just need another concert DVD/BD to get free shipping, but it's a toss up right now between Peter Gabriel's "New Blood Live..." BD & a Moody Blues BD.New Blood is very good. If you're okay orchestral arrangement's of the material, you should enjoy it. I really like the selection of songs.

The Moody Blues: Lovely to See You: Live from the Greek......... is a good one, even though Ray Thomas retired a few years ago.

I love that disc.Wish they would release new material and a new concert disc.

Heres a recommendation from left field.The disc I use to show off my Samsung 55 8500 is a concert by Take That called The circus Live.Its the biggest concert spectacle I have ever seen and must have cost a ton to produce.Its from Wembly stadium a few years ago.Kind of like cirque De solei combined with the BEE GEES if you can picture that.Robbie Williams used to be in this group but he is not in this concert.There is a second disc included where the group sings with acoustic instruments and strings at Abby Road studios and it really shows off the wonderful harmony and songwriting of the group that kind of gets lost in the spectacle of the circus show.
Concert is beautifully shot in HD with amazing PQ.I picked this up used on amazon Marketplace for under 10 bucks.Most entertaining three hours I have spent in a while.

The circus Live...........

Interesting, I'm in the mood for a huge production! :)

Just ordered a used (all regions) from the UK - shipped to door (under $10)........

Amazon UK?How did you get a US price on the disc?I would like to buy their new dvd Progress from last summers tour where Robbie Williams joined them.Still a bit high on Amazon US.but pretty cheap in pounds on amazon UK.Did UK take your credit card?
well anyway hope you like the Circus spectacle.I cant get some of their songs out of my head which is a good thing for music that i would normally ignore.

I just logged in as I do with Amazon USA........... Now Amazon Japan is another story.

So Amazon UK did the conversion into dollars and you used credit card to pay?I see a bunch of them on there for under 3 pounds.Is that what you bought?

You can click on a button to convert pounds to dollars.

I did nothing more than log-on as I do with Amazon USA. :)

thanks

thanks

I've bought several BD's from Amazon UK. Shipping is reasonable and the price difference can be pretty substantial compared to the US site. No worries.

New Blood is very good. If you're okay orchestral arrangement's of the material, you should enjoy it. I really like the selection of songs.

Can't say I agree. The pace is just too slow for my tastes...I was disappointed.

But on the plus side the video and audio quality are top notch.

Ok, why can't I purchase DVD's from Amazon Japan? :(

This one: and this one: are due to arrive tomorrow. Should provide for some good entertainment during my rain-soaked weekend. :cool:

Love them both! Have fun!

As always, when picking up a few things at Walmart, I stopped at the DVD section and see whats new or cheap for BD/DVD movies and concerts.

They had a Styx concert I never seen before (just like the Bachman/Turner one I got from there) and it was showcasing 2 complete albums. Pieces of Eight and my favorite Styx songs from the timeless classic, The Grand Illusion.

I havent played it on the HT system as I just sent my tweeters from my Studio's to Paradigm for an upgrade but I went thru a few songs on the computer. Picture and sound was excellent and the songs reminded me of days gone by.

Dont miss it if you're a Styx fan.

http://resize.like.cz/images/89_102_12_16_7-02-12-07-15-13_1328595313Styx.Live..jpg

Thanks for the review Yosh. I've had my eye on that one a little while now.

The audio and video are excellent on that new Styx Bluray.

No matter what you think about classic rock bands in the year 2012 or the absence of Dennis DeYoung, this is still a pretty good concert DVD.

I was quite impressed by Gowan and his keyboard finesse.....he got the tunes pretty well right on as well!

Yep just received my Joe Bonamassa Live At The Beacon today straight from Joe's online store. We saw them twice on this tour and I am ready to relive the moment.

The audio and video are excellent on that new Styx Bluray.

No matter what you think about classic rock bands in the year 2012 or the absence of Dennis DeYoung, this is still a pretty good concert DVD.

Imo, the absence of DeYoung is addition by subtraction. Most of the stuff Tommy Shaw fronted was honest to God rockin', while most of the stuff DeYoung did was girly-man shlock. A true Jeckyll 'n Hyde band. YMMV.

I actually lost most of my interest in Styx about the time that Shaw replaced John Curelewski. I'm sure DeYoung going completely schmaltz ruined them for a lot of others, though. But they had already kind of lost me by then.

DeYoung didn't really start out that way, though. Many, if not most of his tunes were actually pretty good back in the earlier days, and the band rocked more overall at that time. I actually saw them live then, once at my high school, and 2 more times at other, local ones, and they were pretty much a different band. Not heavy metal or anything like that, but definitely a bit harder-edged and more party-rockish, and not as slick, over-produced and calculating. The music was centered more around a "dual-guitar" sound. They had lost that entirely when they got Shaw (which, to be fair, really started being put into place a couple of albums before that, after they left Wooden Nickel records. It wasn't so much Shaw himself - I mean, he is good at what he does - it was that they chose him to take them specifically to where they were trying to get, and it just wasn't what I had been into the band for up until that time).

Iron Maiden's new DVD

Maiden have probably reached the peak of what is unbearably self-aggrandizing behaviour. At this point it's really about letting you know they're a big popular band. From the start there's the shots of the usual fans who will shout you down telling you that "OMFG MIADINE BEASZT EVAER!! FLACK OFF!!!!" with an over produced and numbingly senseless montage of some sci-fi sort set to Satellite 26. The music from Final Frontier was about the most pointless of their career but that doesn't matter when there's a great show to put on. It's not about the music. Throw in the comic relief elements of Janick and Nicko and you have the best entertainment a candy floss bearing kid could have. To see Janick doing pirouette after pirouette in close shot HD, and a midget singer doing split leaps and just managing to avoid soiling his pants on the not really high notes is worth the price of this disc and more. Maiden has everything Steve and Rod wanted, status, fan numbers, money, mock prog rock music. If you look at Maiden's real picture of Dorian Gray, you'll see a Fat Elvis, about to keel over on the toilet. This video is really the most shallow garbage released by Maiden and a step down even from the previous videos of the last decade. The split screens are like a tv show preview, just worsening the whole effect. It's like heaven for those who are faithful to a brand and have no brains or taste.

Looks like Amazon pulled this review? So much for being honest. Looks like Amazon cooks the books somtimes....?

Sounds like crap but sometimes a review like that might actually sell a product to people who love to watch train wrecks.

No...Steve Harris simply found the guy that posted the review & bashed his face in w/ a sparkle blue P-Bass, Jay & Silent Bob-style. Then Janick pirouetted over the reviewer's mortally wounded skull while shredding on an old Stratocaster, Nicko cracked a joke about it being "just a flesh wound", then Bruce dropped his shorts & attempted his Number of the Beast shriek while squatting over the bleeding "fan"...and you probably know what happened next..

Been a fan of Maiden since first discovering them in 1981 @ the age of 11. Been a fan club member for just slightly less time. Have seen them live many times over the years - and will again this August (and once again....killer seats...the real payoff of FC membership).

One thing I have known since around '81 is that IM will put out at least one live recording between each studio album/tour. I believe the Druids used to use the IM concert album/home video release schedule to mark the passing of time.

That said....I saw IM on the 1st US leg of the Final Frontier tour, which was about 2 months before that album was released. Great show- but only 1 tune from TFF (El Dorado) was played that night. I for one found TFF to be another great Maiden record - but then I have been a fan of the "melodic prog-metal w/ 3 guitars" thing they've been up to since the return of Dickinson & Smith in 2000. Hell..if a "fan" cannot tell you that they find 2006's A Matter of LIfe or Death not only one of IMs best records, but one of the best metal records on the last 10-15 years....they are not a true fan and their metal man-card must be revoked ASAP!! :D IM have grown as songwriters in the last decade+ (esp since Steve is not writing EVERYTHING these days). The music has evolved - but unlike Metallica's attempts @ musical evolution, Maiden pull it off (Metallica, when not playing fast, heavy thrashing metal can sound rather amateur-ish - esp Ulrich, one of the worst "great" drummers in rock).

(Boy - hope I pissed off a Metallica fanboy or 2 with that!!);)

Anyway - the show documented on EN VIVO!, which I picked up on BD yesterday, contains a few more tracks from TFF that I missed out on hearing live, as well as being just different enough from the setlist I saw them play last to make it worthwhile to own for me. What I won't need to purchase is the accompanying CD...outside of maybe the TFF tunes that I can get a la carte via iTunes, I have more than enough live Maiden recordings in the library at this point to hold me over 'til Armageddon....

If you love or even just like Maiden....and you maybe have not owned every live recording they have issued in the last 10 years or so....this is a solid purchase. I liked the multicamera thing they had going on. The documentary bits were interesting, too. And the DTS & PCM audio tracks sound great. If you dig Maiden, go get it!! A nice addition to the Maiden live collection, IMO But be warned....some random Amazon douchebag will claim you have neither brains nor taste when you buy it.

And Steve Harris will cry his way to the bank.

I'm just tired of the whole devil horns thing,,,,,,,,,, guess I'm just getting to old for these kinds of shenanigans. :cool:

Joe Bonamassa makes Iron Maiden look like another Kiss. :p

This.......

To each their own. At 42 as of today, I still enjoy my NWOBHM.

Of course, I find Bonamassa to be the reincarnation of Clapton....and I F@&KING HATE CLAPTON! Yeah, I know...blasphemy from someone who has played guitar for most of his life. Chops? Yes. Sleep inducing? Bigger yes! Only time a Clapton lick has really turned me on was when Ed Van Halen played them.

I love me some Maiden. Havent got a chance to see the new disc yet but I did watch the new Bonamassa. Damn good show! He's great and his band is really tight. I really like the new drummer as well. Great performances by Hart, Hiatt and Rodgers.

Live Iron Maiden is a over the top rock show with rich old rockers playing the same stuff as 20 years ago, anyone buying the new concert DVD should know that by now. I find nothing wrong with that I enjoy see all the old fart rockers on the new high quality Bluray releases.

If I didn't just buy their concert DVD last year I would have picked up this new release.

No flippn' way Bonamassa sounds like Clapton take a listen to Black Country Communion sometime.

I'll take another listen to the new IM when in the right mood, but yeah, these guy's seem to be playing the old card from 20 years ago.

I have. If there was a project JoeB was involved in that I sort of tolerated, it was BCC (saw a live recording on Palladia recently). But that had more to do with being a fan of Glenn Hughes and the sound of a Bonham on the drums.

My issue w/ JoeB is not his chops or lack thereof.....the guy can certainly shred. Hell, you're gonna pick something up if your first proper guitar teacher was Danny Gatton. But to me, his playing sounds very clinical & textbook. Spectacular control over the instrument, but all ersatz soul. Just my 2 cents.

Clapton has soul.....but 99.9% of his material just bores me. Much prefer his contempararies Hendrix, Beck, Page, Townsend, Harrison, etc.

Maiden's "historical" tours have been rotated in every other road jaunt since 2005, the most famous of course being the Somewhere Back in Time tour documented in FLIGHT 666. The alternating tours tend to however favor newer material. In 2006, when touring behind A Matter of Life & Death, they did that album front to back, followed by a couple of classics in the encore.

When I saw them last, during the 1st leg of the Final Frontier tour, they did close out the show with the a few classic tracks (cannot end a Maiden show w/o Number of the Beast or Run to the Hills, followed by Hallowed Be Thy Name), but 80% of that set was made of of tunes from 2000 forward with nothing "old" played until the initial set came to a close with Fear of the Dark & Iron Maiden. The next tour commencing this summer will be another historical one, based off of the 7th Son tour in the late 80s (documented in the Maiden England VHS release, hence the name of the 2012 tour). Quite a few older IM deep cuts are on tap this time - songs they have not played in about 20+ years. Looking forward to that!

So, yes - Maiden does play the 20 year old card....usually on every other tour.

Has "no soul" is such a overused term IMO, I hear it all the time about guitar players. I really do not understand the term for a guitar player and really think it’s just something to use when people don't like a player. I have seen this term used for just about every player out there.

It seems that the only players that escape this label are players that...

1. Came up with a certain sound or way of playing the guitar.
2. Were fortunate enough to be around at the start of certain genre of music.
3. Die at an early age in their career.

2. Were fortunate enough to be around at the start of certain genre of music.
3. Die at an early age in their career.

For me, the "soul" comment breaks down like this...bear with me....

When a guitarist plays - whether it be a billion notes @ Warp 9 or 1-2 well chosen notes - if the sound, feel, tone as well as the song itself outside of just the guitar - trigger a positive internal feeling...makes the hair on the neck stand up or otherwise feels like it has literally stroked my DNA.....that is what I consider "soul". That could be one wildly shaking vibrato/feedback note from Buddy Guy. It could also be the psychedelic prog/blues of David Gilmour. Or maybe anything the late great Randy Rhoads played. It was certainly something that happened the 1st time I heard EVH's Eruption (those first VH albums are the reason I picked up a guitar back in 1983-ish just before entering high school). But here are also plenty of shredders whose music also does little for me. Satriani is a flippin monster, but his solo work leaves me a tad flat in terms of the songs themselves. My fave Steve Vai material is not his wacky solo stuff, but rather his contributions to things like the Public Image Ltd record he played on back in the mid-80s, or the 1st 2 David Lee Roth solo albums.

Now, the effect the aforementioned work had or did not have on me will not be the same for others. We are all individuals. If JoeB makes the hair on your neck stand up...great! Crank that **** up & enjoy it!

He simply does not have that effect on me personally. I respect his abilities, but have no real interest in buying his stuff. Would not mind playing thru his live rig...and it was his playing thru Marshall's little Class 5 combo amps when the company debuted the line a couple years back @ a trade show (saw it on YouTube) that did help convinve me that Marshall's 5 watt "mini-Plexi" was exactly what I was looking for in an amp I could crank @ home to either jam or record without annoying/deafening the family or killing every small animal within 100 yards. I guess I can thank the guy for that at least!:D

I guess I can thank the guy for that at least!:DOther than Buddy Guy, the guitarist you mention aren't blues players. Is it possible, you just don't like the blues? I mean where do you mention Derek Trucks, BB King, Albert King, Freddie King? First and formost, I think Joe B is a blues player. His work with that white chick singer that was just released as an album (she is on his latest live bluray as well), is in my opinion very tasteful and tasty if you will. That said....everyone has their opinions and it is interesting to read others.

By the way, when I met Clapton back when he was with Cream, he had a little portable record player in his hotel room and all the records he had were Motown so he may not have had soul but he was into soul music.

I was going more for guitarists in general that I have enjoyed or been influenced by. I dig the blues just fine. Guy just happens to be one among the top of my list of blues faves. Also dig the 3 Kings, Lonnie Mack, Hubert Sumlin, SRV. Of the "wonder kids" in modern blues, I far prefer Trucks over JoeB. Again, just my opinion.

While not a guitar player, I also copped a few banjo licks back in the day from the recently late & always great Earl Scruggs & adopted them to loud rock guitar as best I could.

With most popular guitar slingers, you really need to differentiate between their live performances and their studio recordings. Most of them tend to over-polish things in the studio, and you really don't hear their raw talent like you do live. The same can sometimes be said of live performances recorded on video/audio, simply because they are aware they are being recorded.

Off hand, I can't think of a single great guitarist of whom this is not true. Studio recordings by nature tend to be "lacking soul". That's not to say that it's impossible to impart "soul" on a studio recording, it's just not done very often by very many artists.

Has "no soul" is such a overused term IMO, I hear it all the time about guitar players. I really do not understand the term for a guitar player and really think it’s just something to use when people don't like a player. I have seen this term used for just about every player out there.


It sounds like you might not grasp the concept. Calling it "overused" is a cop out.

Basically, it's like this. If a guitarist has chops and plays technically difficult arpeggios and runs and licks, but it doesn't express anything deeply emotional through his playing, then it's just wanking on the guitar. See Yngwie Malsteen as the prime example. He sure can play fast, but there's not an ounce of soul, i.e., genuine emotional expression, being conveyed to the listener in anything he's ever improvised.

On the other hand, some guitarists can express in a few notes, with vibrato, bending, releasing, hammering on or pulling off, or using other techniques or effects more than 1,000 words could convey. See some of B.B. King's short licks for example. Or check out some of David Gilmour's expressive and highly melodic solos for very emotional and expressive guitar playing. Even though he's playing with his fingers, Gilmour's playing comes from his heart (hence the term "soul") and is not mere technical wanking. Yngwie doesn't have anything to express, thus his playing is soulless. It's technical wanking.

Hell, listen to Robert Johnson or Elmore James or Son House or Lightnin' Hopkins. Those guys were getting out some really painful feelings through their playing, and you're pretty cold if you can't feel it while listening to them. That's soul. It has nothing to do with what we label "soul music." It's expressing your emotions through your playing and being able to convey them to your listener.

It has nothing to do with what we label "soul music." It's expressing your emotions through your playing and being able to convey them to your listener.My soul comment and Clapton was sort of tongue in cheek but it was surprising to see the Supremes as one of his listening albums. I do know the difference between soul music and what you call soul but I call authentic blues music.

I don't disagree with your analysis and I think Yngwie is the most boring musician I have ever heard. That said, I can enjoy both the "soul/blues" musician and the technical playing. In some cases, like Johnson, James, etc, I think some of their "soul" came from drink and drugs especially if you read some of the accounts of the blues guys that were playing in England as the Stones rose to prominence.

I do like Gilmour but not as much as you. I do think he plays from the heart but I don't find him as engaging as you do. Generally, some of what you talk about involves vibrato. I think Clapton used to be a master of it but he doesn't use it to as much effect on his more recent playing (or maybe he is just getting older). Sustain and vibrato do invoke emotion in music as does dynamics. One of the things I like about JoeB is that in concert he plays both loud and soft (for emotional effect) something you don't see many of the shedders do. The best I have ever seen as a band using it was the original Allman Brothers. They made it into almost classical sounding orchestral music. I also think JoeB is still evolving as I saw him quite awhile ago and thought he was pretty derivative. I still see some of that but he has such technical chops that I think he can pretty much go whereever he wants.

An example of a current banjo player who I think plays with "soul" but technically seems pretty crappy is Otis Taylor. He sometimes surrounds himself with good musicians but even with all his "soul" can get boring. KebMo seems to have a little bit of both soul and technical chops.

The recent PBS special blues at the white house was interesting. I don't think Beck, Jagger, or some of the others came off very well, but Tedeski, Trucks and Haynes had more what you would call "soul" than all the rest combined. Trucks solo was awesome in my opinion.

It sounds like you might not grasp the concept. Calling it "overused" is a cop out.

Basically, it's like this. If a guitarist has chops and plays technically difficult arpeggios and runs and licks, but it doesn't express anything deeply emotional through his playing, then it's just wanking on the guitar. See Yngwie Malsteen as the prime example. He sure can play fast, but there's not an ounce of soul, i.e., genuine emotional expression, being conveyed to the listener in anything he's ever improvised.

On the other hand, some guitarists can express in a few notes, with vibrato, bending, releasing, hammering on or pulling off, or using other techniques or effects more than 1,000 words could convey. See some of B.B. King's short licks for example. Or check out some of David Gilmour's expressive and highly melodic solos for very emotional and expressive guitar playing. Even though he's playing with his fingers, Gilmour's playing comes from his heart (hence the term "soul") and is not mere technical wanking. Yngwie doesn't have anything to express, thus his playing is soulless. It's technical wanking.

Hell, listen to Robert Johnson or Elmore James or Son House or Lightnin' Hopkins. Those guys were getting out some really painful feelings through their playing, and you're pretty cold if you can't feel it while listening to them. That's soul. It has nothing to do with what we label "soul music." It's expressing your emotions through your playing and being able to convey them to your listener.

... I grasp the concept.

Yeah I don't believe a word of all that, its all made up in your head. It helps justify who you feel is worthy of praise and who is not.

Yeah I don't believe a word of all that, its all made up in your head. It helps justify who you feel is worthy of praise and who is not.I agree and feel pretty much the same way.

People like some guitarists, don't like others, great. Why not just leave it at that? Why must people offer up all these other justifications - "no soul", give me a break.

It's like people are insecure in their own opinions and need to over hype to convince others. Who cares what others think, I like JB more than SRV. I really don't care if others agree or disagree. My enjoyment does not improve or diminish depending on how others feel.

I haven't heard it yet, but I did a thread on this in the Surround Music section you may want to dig up, since it will be available with a 5.1 mix...

The original Thick as a Brick is not included with the sequel.

I just ordered it from Amazon...... Due at my door April 3!

Ian is nothing but a classic flute shredder. All fanciful runs and wispy pretension. He prances around in a jaunty manner to distract the audience from the fact that he was a fraud. Thick as a Brick was his indictment of the audience who fell for it.

Saw him and his band live once in 1969. Sat close to the stage, in a smallish venue. Believe me, he was no fraud.

I also saw him and the band live in 1969, Newport Rock Festival '69, and you are right, no fraud at all.....

Anyone expecting TAAB II to be another TAAB I will be sorely disappointed.

For one thing, it's essentially a solo project (meaning no Martin Barre).

I have loved TAAB 1 since its release...
Unfortunately, after listening to the Amazon MP3 previews, I am not impressed with the sequel....:(

I received and watched Joe Bonamassa's BD Live from the Beacon Theater.

As far as audio and video, it sounds and looks much like his Albert Hall concert.

The set is almost completely different so from that perspective, it's nice. The songs, however, I'd rate slight lower then Albert Hall. As for his guests, I like one of the Beth Hart numbers, one of John Hiatt's and "meh" on both Paul Rogers '.

Joe's playing is top notch.

All in all, a worthwhile purchase.

I have the Albert Hall BD, and I'm watching a recording of the Beacon Theater concert right now which was on Palladia, so I've got enough Joe B. for the time being I think.

I'm pretty sure his drummer was one of many popular celebs seen in the audience at Cream's reunion concert at the Albert Hall in '05. Not sure who he is (I know, watch the credits at the end), but he's good.

Searched the thread, but no joy.

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Urgh! a Music War".

Mediocre audio quality, mediocre to awful video quality and some of the best 80's music ever.

Get it while you can

Joe's new drummer is Tal Bergman, who is more "rock" than his old drummer, Bogie, who to me was more precise. He is one of the two drummers on RAH, not sure which one though.
If all you have is the Palladia recording of Live At The Beacon, you need to rush right out and get the disc. It is excellent from start to finish.

The "other" drummer (stage right) on the RAH DVD is Anton Fig who has been in the Late Night With David Letterman Band since it's beginning.

Take Care

New Blood is very good. If you're okay orchestral arrangement's of the material, you should enjoy it. I really like the selection of songs.

I was a bit disappointed with Solsbury Hill. It just felt naked without the guitar. The rest of the performance was fitting for an orchestra and very well arranged. I like what the Stix did with the youth orchestra, Peter Gabriel matched it.

The sound quality is incredible and I recommend it for those who like Peter.

The "other" drummer (stage right) on the RAH DVD is Anton Fig who has been in the Late Night With David Letterman Band since it's beginning.

Take Care

Yes, he just escaped memory. The other drummer I was talking about was Bogie Bowles, who decided to leave the band. The two drummer set-up on RAH was outstanding, each playing off the other. It also seemed to increase the overall bass effect.

The "other" drummer (stage right) on the RAH DVD is Anton Fig who has been in the Late Night With David Letterman Band since it's beginning.

Steve Jordan was the original drummer for "The World's Most Dangerous Band," the Paul Shaffer-led house band on NBC's Late Night With David Letterman, from '82-'86. Anton Fig replaced Steve Jordan in 1986 and has been with Paul's band in various configurations since then.

Steve Jordan played with Keith Richards in the X-Pensive Winos, toured with Clapton several times, and backs up John Mayer and Pino Palladino in the John Mayer Trio. He's also produced a lot of great gigs. One of my favorite drummers.

I dig Anton, too.

recently picked this up.

the pcm stero track is very good. the 4:3 format and the quality of the video itself though....it's not worthy of what is a very good concert. Even the camera work I find to be substandard...

the audio portion of this is great, but the video is poor considering it was recorded in 2008.

Pick up "Songs from The Road" which is proper HD and also has a great audio mix.

Heart Soundstage

Does anyone have this on blu ray?

it seems that Lindsey Buckinghams's soundstage blu ray is coded for region A,B and C, despite it being advertised as region A.

can anyone, who has the Heart soundstage blu ray, check if this is the case with this release as well?

on beyond thanks

(or indeed, if it is the case of all soundstage blu rays..)

I like Heart - Night At Sky Church better - has more energy. :)

thanx alot for info! I'm surprised the retailers don't make a point about this fact - as a region A only release from the US is, unfortunately, not an option of many europeans

Do you happen to know if the A B C coding is the case of the other soundstage blu rays?

I was dissapointed.......

I totaly agree. i liked it so much i went and ordered the DTS version of the DVD- its even better.

hi

tonight i was at a fantastic Bryan Adams concert in Halifax. he really put on an awesome show. Afterwords my friend said he had almost all his concert dvds except one. It was a concert he did in Belguim in 1988.
It seems the only place i can find it is on a site called RockinDVD (dot com).

it seems they compile the recording somehow and burn them. The DVD is $18 plus $4 shipping. Has any of you heard of this site and any comments on its legitimacy etc ?

I pretty sure that is a bootleg site were they buy recorded concerts from people that copy them from brodcasts and then they sell them. They burn a disk for you when you order a DVD, and then you can download the DVD artwork and can print it out or whatever. There are a few websites out there that do this.

Then again, you can find about anything on the net - this one is 1080....

I wonder about them myself. A friend of mine buys these all the time, (cheaper place though, I think where he buys if you buy 4 you get 2 free). They usually tell you the quality and source and if pro shot or not. There seem to be alot from TV shows from Europe & Japan but he also get pro shot concerts.

would you mind checking with your buddy and send me a link to the site he uses.

He is not answering but if you google "rare dvd concerts" I think it is the first one. Again I am not sure if they are legal or not.

Those bootleg sites are on their last legs....... Who wants to purchase grainy old copies of VHS or fan produced videos these day's? Just go on the Net and you will find most of them 'free' on youtube.

Get a program like tubetube downloader and save em to your hard drive. Now if you don't have a real current computer, playback may be out of sync and or without a HDMI connection on your computer other problem may arise too.

Hi Folks

This note is about the Eagles Australian Farewell Tour DVD and HDTV version. I have the dvd but not the other version. I love the concert and the sound quality is excellenet. I hear the HD version is even better. I have a newer model panasonic Blu Ray (110 model) that I don’t think will play hd dvds. Does anyone out there have the HD dvd and what machine are you playing it on.

Are there any blu ray players that will accept it ? Also how hard would be (if I bought it) to convert and burn it to Blu ray ? I know it sounds crazy but I like the concert so much that I would seriously change or buy a newer player just for it.

"Are there any blu ray players that will accept it" - No, you need a HD-DVD player

"to convert and burn it to Blu ray" - I think it can be done, ask in AVS's HD-DVD section .

If you could find the disc are you really going to buy it and a HD-DVD player just for one disc? IMO, just enjoy the DVD, someday it may be re-released on Blu ray.

Maritimer...,

The Eagles DVD I was referring to is the DTS version.

Yes, it is great audio.

Enjoy!

I didn't. I'm done with Joe. Just a bunch of ppl banging on their guitars. It did nothing for me. Without vocals these titles are meaningles for me. Sure, Joe is great, he played with Deep Purple.....

Like Steve Vai, I'm done with him too. It's like cool, but where's the singer? :cool:

Tom Petty 30th Anniversary Concert from Gainesville Florida:

Performance - good
Audio - good
Video - fair (lot's of low level lighting)

Concert is just a little shy of 2 hours.


Haven't watched the doc yet.

I'm sure this may have been talked about already on here, but i couldn't find it. I just received this today(Blu Ray), and Gave it a listen. To me it sounds pretty good, but there is hardly any Bass to speak of, and it's just not presice bass....Kinda flat sounding. I also had to crank the level on the sub way up compared to most everything else i have, . Has anybody else experienced this? I mean it doesn't sound bad, but it is lacking in my opinion.

KISS is one of the Most influential bands of all time. Paul Stanley is one of the best frontmen of all time!

I feel that way about 4 out of 5 concerts I listen to. Sorry to hear it about Styx, as it was next on my list.

A while back we discussed me switching out my Farewell tour from DVD to HDDVD. I did just that. Got it for $18 and sold my DVD for $11. The picture is a world of improvement. However, I'm not too impressed with the audio. If anything, I felt the DVD was a little more robust.
