What Music DVD Are You Watching?

Tears down my cheeks for one of the greatest nights of my life. I haven't been moved by music like this for a long time. Isn't it just great, lol!

Somewhat pretentious, (duck) but obviously they were having fun with fame and money.

It's a preposterous film. That's what makes it kinda great. It could only have been made in the mid 70s, and only by Led Zeppelin.

Now the double DVD from 2003... that really is spectacular.

Just had to watch this again. When "knocks me off my feet" comes on I fill up again.

Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky.
This is the DVD which comes with the CD in the Digipack.
The footage of the guided tour around Mark's recording studio - British Grove is very interesting, as he pointed out he want's the best of analogue and digital recording and mastering equipment in order to remain true to the original sound as he and Chuck hear it.
Well worth watching, and there's music too.

Earth, Wind & Fire Live in Japan.

Just awful. It's not half the band it used to be. Voices are shot. Too old. It made me sad.

Jethro Tull - Live At Madison Square Garden

I have an admission, I think The Tull are great. I first fell in love with their music at the age of 14 when my brother bought Aqualung.

This DVD is of a concert from 1978, when the group were at the top of their game; The concert was televised by the BBC.

The DVD includes a first rate LPCM sound-track.

Excellent stuff

JAMES HETFIELD: "Did you come here to hear some heavy sh*t?"

Quite possibly the greatest Rockumentary ever made.

Still stunned

On Blu-ray. A great concert movie. Perhaps the best ever. Sound quality on Blu-ray is very, very good.

Gianluigi: what a great way of dealing with a cold and rainy Sunday

I originally had "Pulse" on a laserdisc, which was quite excellent, so I waited with increasing anticipation for the DVD to emerge, which it very belatedly did after many delays.

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement! It was in 4:3. Sound was a bumped-up DD (rather than dts), and for some reason known only to the people who mastered for DVD they used different and most definitely inferior 'takes" of the concert, presumably from different nights to the laserdisc.

Much as I loved the concert (and I was there on one of the nights in question - the night before the seating fell down...) I just can't bring myself to watch it again.

Tony - I picked up the DVD a while back when I spotted it whilst on a shopping/visa-run w'end in Singapore - haven't got round to watching it yet, though of course I know the concert/tour well from the double CD and VHS video...!

On the back of the DVD it makes a point of the fact it is RESTORED to original 4.3 aspect ! That certainly dates it - the only thing that seems to be shot in 4.3 these days is European football !!

Steve.

Well, I bought Pulse on video-CD a long time ago. Then I bought the DVD when it came out. Both look the same (while DVD sounds worse than the video-CD). My guess it that the DVD version is a transfert of the video-CD on a new medium, period.

Any good Adrian?
