Ideally they would meet this criteria:
Anamorphic widescreen
Excellent surround mix, preferably DTS surround.
Great performance.

Thanks for your suggestions,
James

I don't think the emphasis was so much on new as much as what people would recommend based on his bulleted criteria.

My first concert DVD purchase was the Cream reunion tour DVD:





Completely fills my 57" TV, has a DTS track, and IMO was an excellent performance from three very accomplished musicians. I've had this DVD for a couple of years now, and it still sits very high on my list of favorites. There's a BD version, but I really don't feel the need to upgrade.

Ok, this should be legit.............

Sounds like Coldplay released this on youtube just because?

They say so right in the video.

It's a mp4 format, so if you can download this onto your hard drive and play it back with Windows Media Player, you have a great concert in 720p for free (I thought mine is 1080p) but you know how things are on the net. Now, if you have one of those really high speed connections, just stream it.

Pat Metheny Group, The Way Up - Live (blu ray) - I know this is a older concert recording so this heads up is for people like me who was not aware of it. I am familiar with Pat Metheny as a side man in various jazz units but not his group.

This blu ray (the standard DVD has DTS) has excellent audio quality, surround mix, video quality and video mix. The performance IMO is absolutely masterfully crafted.

Most excellent concert.

NOT NTSC.......

Twisted Music sent the title airmail from the UK for 1 pound postage.



Shpongle LIVE Roundhouse

Shpongle is an English psychedelic downtempo/psybient music project formed in 1996. The group includes Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram (one third of The Infinity Project). Their musical style combines traditional music from all over the globe and vocals with contemporary western synthesizer-based psychedelic music. When asked to describe Shpongle's music, Posford has responded that it is "like nothing you've ever heard before."[1] Shpongle's first track, "Vapour Rumours", was released on TIP Records' Infinite Excursions compilation in 1996.[2] Their debut album, Are You Shpongled?, was released in 1998 on Twisted Records.

Posford is generally responsible for the synthesizers, studio work, and live instrumentation while Raja Ram contributes broad musical concepts and flute arrangements. Raja Ram stated in an interview that "Shpongle" is an umbrella term for feeling positive and euphoric emotions.[3] Shpongle's music is heavily influenced by psychedelic experiences and frequently makes use of sonic textures that approximate psychedelic states as well as vocal samples relating to consciousness expansion, hallucinations, and altered states of awarenesss. The track, "Divine Moments of Truth," for example, contains a vocal sample of Raja Ram describing the effects of dimethyltryptamine (DMT).

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.

Agree the concert is incredible. Pat Metheny as a side man? Where have you been for the last 30 years? Sorry. Sometimes I forget that not all jazz fans are followers of jazz guitar.

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.

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.
