Billy Joel - The Ultimate Collection

Picked this up in HMV for £6.

LPCM soundtrack. Mixture of music videos and live concert footage. Billy Joel as seen on the cover of Piano Man to more recent less hirsute look.

Bargain.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged

Really great DVD - with LPCM soundtrack.

My wife came in to ask me something and just sat down for a couple of tracks.

Regularly spun.

Freebie with the Observer :Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense

ELP @ The Royal ALbert Hall.

Soft Machine - Legacy.

Kill To Get Crimson - Mark Knopfler, this comes with the limited edition of the cd.

Rush, live in Rio

Richard Thompson - Live in Austin

The Beatles Help.

Lovely to See You - The Moody Blues

DD 5.1 / DTS 5.1 / DD 2.0

Some classic tracks & Dustbin Hayward in good voice - bought back a few memories.


Live at Montreux - Johnny Cash

DD 5.1 / LPCM Stereo

I was introduced to JC by my mother via the Live at San Quentin album - and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have never actually bought ANY JC, but having watched 'I Walk The Line' I thought it would be good to see The Man in Black in concert. This DVD was £7 and records a concert from 1994. JC was not a spry youngster but still seems to be enjoying himself, and pleasing the crowd. A good selection of tracks I only wish he had included 'A Boy Named Sue'.

Last night....

Jeff Wayne's musical version of - The War Of The Worlds - Live on stage.
Quite superb and a bargain at £5 from FOPP.

Live 8 Concert



Hired the set - not sure whether I will actually buy it, although there are some definite high points, the temporarily reformed Pink Floyd being one of them.

Problem is that there is some padding, and the high points are too short - great to hear Comfortably Numb with both the right voices though.

Picked up Beatles - Help

newly remastered, looking forward to seeing it this week.

Eric Clapton - Crossroads 2007

watched the first disk last night. eighty-one year old BB King makes an appearance towards the end of the first disk. lots of good guitar playing on this one.

Found this posting on Steve Hoffman's site. I don't think it is accurate - my version of Pulse just has Dolby Digital:

I Like these live performance DVD videos - ALL have very good sound tracks @ 24bit/48K or better:

Clarence Brown
Bobby Parker
Buddy Guy

... Van Morrison 2 disc:
"Live at Montreux 1980"
"Live at Montreux 1974"

Bonnie Raitt "Road Tested"

Martin Scorsese Presents "The Blues" 7 discs
Overall -
"Red White & Blues" disc

Peter Gabriel "Secret World Live"

Simon and Garfunkel "Old Freinds Live on Stage"

... Not that great: mistakes I have made ...

Simon and Garfunkel "The Concert in Central Park" - bad source, bad sound track

Cyndi Lauper "Live ... At Last" - a good show, a bad sound engineer

Blind Faith "London Hyde Park 1969" - video and sound not good enough for commercial release.

John Mayer "Any Given Thrusday" except that almost all tracks sound the same, tiring to listen to after the fourth of fifth track (Mayer is much better on "Crossroads" w/ Clapton backing him.

Steve Miller Band "Fly Like An Eagle" - Sloppy live performance, not yet ready for prime time (The CD is good as it ever was ).

Willie Nelson & Friends "Outlaws and Angels" - a big drunk including the stage hands and engineers, not worth it more than once.

Roy Orbison "Black and White Night" - performance - sound - song selection ... but I hardly ever listen to it anymore, maybe its me.

Tina Turner: One Last Time Live in Concert

DTS 5.1 / DD 5.1

Great set from one of the best liver performers, sadly let down by a second string DTS soundtrack, I'll try the DD tomorrow.

I've got some excellent DTS tracks, this isn't. Its not offensive but I was glad to put on a CD.

M

Cowboy Junkies & friends - Trinity Revisited

Today we've watched...

Foo Fighters - Skin and Bones. Semi-acoustic set at the Pantage Theatre in LA. Quite good.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense. Loved this LP as a teenager and we picked up the DVD free in The Times or such like. Brilliant! Especially the audio track commentary, quite fascinating.

John,

Waiting for my copy to arrive from Amazon.
(along with the 2004 version).

Pete

The last Kelly Jones cd(aka sterophonics fame) is combined with a dvd really great sound well worth looking for.

REM - Live, the DVD with the Double CD+DVD package

ZZ Top Greatest Hits DVD - great music, great band, great cars, stunning 'chicks'!! Why is it that my whole life I just love those kind of women...

Reminds me of my youth and definately makes me want to bugger off across America on a Harley!

Nils Lofgren "Acoustic Live" - great playing but pretty lousy sound & a totally naff picture qual
