What Music DVD Are You Watching?

Another vote for "Heart of Gold". Wonderful concert, pretty good picture and great sound. It's going really cheap on Amazon right now so don't delay...

just checked munch, in my wifes order on play it says the 2 disc version, perhaps they only had one in the sale,

Mrs D was away in Prague this week so I watched the following four music DVDs (and about eight episodes of "Yes Minister!")

Antonio Forcione...Quartet in Concert......(4B)
Roy Orbison........Black&WhiteNight........(4A)
Cliff Richard......The Oh Boy! Set.........(4A)
Paul Simon.........Your the One in Concert.(3B)
The Royal Ballet...La Fille mal Gardee.....(3A)

Numbers indicate technical quality, whilst letters indicate artistic merit - both very subjective

Cheers

Don,

Just to be explicit:

1 = best
A = best
??

In a scale to?

M

Ah ha!!

4 = Best in scale 1 to 4
A = Best in scale A to D

If I had been more careful I would have reversed the numerical scale (1 = Best). The score card would then look like:-

B1
A1
A1
B2
A2

Again, very subjective!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, both the technical score and the artistic score cover both the audio aspect and the visual aspect of the recording. I suppose that I should have separated these out and given scores like Ab3iiii or Ba1ii. How do the "professionls" score DVDs ??

Cheers

Don

just watched live version of war of the worlds, thought it was very good, listened to it in dts, will try the dd 5.1 next time,

I enjoyed it so much I booked tickets for December!

M

should be realy good to see it performed live.

mr underhill, i've just booked a ticket for the o2-arena also in december, looking forward to it, wifey didn't fancy it so going on my own.

Megadeth - Live in Buenos Aires.

We hear so much about PRaT on this forum, and this band and performance are PRaT in it's most aggressive form. The rhythm guitar is brilliant and the guitar solos are great also. The vocals can be a challenge at some points...but can be great in others. The audio product is quite good, I have no complaints. Give it a try if you like Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.

Yes - I got and watched that too. It's excellent.

Hi John,

Yep - we're looking forward to it. Fortunately my wife likes the music.

The girls didn't really get on with it - until they saw the DVD. My eldest daughter (16) was in tears when the Martians were slaughtering the humans.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - "The Abbatoir Blues Tour".

Went to this concert at the Manchester Apollo. One of the best concerts I have been to, by one of my favurite artists. DVD is excellent, from the DTS quality to the extra features and bonus live cd's.

Belle & Sebastian 'Fans Only' - excellent. Also have a Rodriguez e Gabriella DVD to watch which I am very much looking forward to...

And the latter are live in Bristol on May 27th

hi munch and ROTF, i have also just ordered ELP beyond the beginning, seems like you both rate it.

On a whim, I bought Procol Harum "Live at the Union Chapel", recorded a couple of years ago.

Staggeringly good, both picture quality, sound and performance!

Hours of entertainment - I thought it was great value, but then I've always liked ELP.

Yes - Symphonic Live.

.....Devo "Live In The Land Of The Rising Sun" ...Devo reformed and toured Japan a couple of years back .....plenty of D.E.V.O. highlights here inc. "Are We Not Men" "Satisfaction" "Whip It" etc. Strangely enough my 10 yr old love's it to bits! and play's it constantly ..I thought he would find them far too quirky but he seems to "get" them
