Like the title of the thread states… if you could only buy ONE reference Blu Ray Concert DVD to show off your set-up, what would it be?

 

[caupina]

I think I'd go for Chris Botti's "In Boston", that's one of my favorite BR, I especially like both the "Cinema Paradiso" and "Emmanuel" performances...those give me goosebumps

" Concert For George "

 

[JonFo]

 Porcupine Tree Anesthetize


Incredible surround mix, good audio quality and great music.

+1


Anything Steven Wilson is involved with is going to have very good production. Definitely my go to concert BR when demoing.

 

[holt7153]

The Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds BR is excellent, as is pretty much everything done by Steven Wilson/PT.

 

[kevin j]

Roy Orbison A Black And White Night.

 

[scolumbo]

Since PT Anesthetize has already been mentioned, I'll throw out another favorite - Talking Heads Stop Making Sense.

 

[mrcarnut]

Strat Pack 50th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster guitar and 'Billy Joel - Live At Shea Stadium'

 

[jeahrens]

David Gilmour: Remember that Night Live from the Royal Albert Hall. The video isn't always the best, but the audio sure is

 

[primetimeguy]


Nine Inch Nails - Beside You In Time

 

[Joe Hendrix]

I'd second "Concert for George". But the the "Crossroads" series of concerts are pretty awesome, too. Others which are good are "Lovely to see You" by the Moody Blues, and "Sittin' in Again" by Loggins and Messina.

 

[suffolk112000]

I just bought this Blu Ray concert.
Jeff Beck Rock'n'Roll Party: Honoring Les Paul.

The concert also has an appearance by Imelda May.

I had the chance to hear this Blu Ray last year at CEDIA and I thought it would make a nice demo disc for concert material. I'm thinking about getting Adele Live At The Royal Albert Hall when the price drops a bit more.

 

[zheka]

to show-off I often find myself playing the opening track on Blue Man Group: How to Be a Megastar Live! . It is a cheap way to the wows.


as far as good live concerts that I personally enjoyed lately I'd mention the following two:


Radiohead's THE KING OF LIMBS FROM THE BASEMENT

and

Lou Reed's Berlin

 

[Media Hostage]

The Police – Certifiable

 

[holt7153]

The Police/Certifiable is a good one as well. Although probably not reference quality, I've been enjoying the new Joe Satriani release. Apparently one of the few 7.1 concert blus.

 

[qwknuf6]

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds

 

[quattroatl]

Chris Botti "In Boston" is absolutely reference. It's in Dolby TrueHD 7.1 at 96khz. There is a quartet verson of Sting singing "Fragile" in the behind the scenes take that is pure awesomeness! Botti's other blueray is just as good with Sting's "Message in a Bottle" which stands out.

I have the Blue Man Group Blu Ray and yes, it is very good.

I Feel Love with Venus Hum is what I have turned to many times for a unique sound demo.

I've just seen to many recommendations for this Blu Ray to NOT pick it up.

I think I'm going to give it a shot.
