Topnotch BluRay Concert.....


I recently bought Adele on Blue Ray live at the Royal Albert Hall. Simply spectacular 5.1 sound. Anyone experience good 5.1/2.1 concerts feel free to explain in detail and even direct where to buy.....thx in advance:)

Here are some Blu-rays that I use for reference discs, both audio and video.

Heart Live in Seattle, label is Image Entertainment. This concert is one of the rare 5.0 only DTS HD Master but believe me, it lacks no bass.

Rush Snakes and Arrows, label Anthem Entertainment. 5.1 DTS HD Master. Spectacular audio and video if you are a Rush fan.

Stevie Nicks Live, label Soundstage, 5.1 uncompressed PCM, awesome sound and video, good mix of Stevies's solo stuff and Fleetwood Mac favorites.

If any of the above artists appeal to you, I highly recommend you check these out.
I also have Return to Forever's live at Montreux 2008. Great sounding disc and I love RTF, BUT for me I do not like hearing instruments in the rear channels! I was around when Quadraphonic was new and had a flashback to that era when listening to this disc the first time. They should have just used it for venue ambiance and audience feedback to get the feeling of the venue they were playing at!
Worth repeating as the others have stated. I have Jeff Beck, Dave Matthews-Tim Reynolds,and John Mayer. All of those I have used as a demo at one time or another. The David Gilmoure live at the Royal Albert Hall is very good especially if you like clean and clear vocals thru your center channel. I have to say that David Crosby and Graham Nash who are on the disc add excellent vocals. The opening low end is great on the first song which is Breathe(In the air) and is much more dynamic than when first heard years ago on Dark side of the Moon played on vinyl thanks to uncompressed audio and good subwoofers these days! Great up front vocals with hall ambiance around you.I'm going to pickup Led Zepplin, The Police, and the Rush recommnendations, thanks for starting this thread!
Statman, I did not notice any instuments mixed directly on the surround channels on the RTF blu ray. It sounds very balanced in my system. I will listen to it again to hear if I was missing something.
Botti's BR comes immediately to mind.
There are a few others to note Les Paul's bithday BR is exceptional value, Billy Joel in the last great concert at
Shea stadium, Eltons 60th brithday bash at MSG, David Foster's hitman Bluray,Etta James for an older BR is quite good,The Ojays, War,Fca 35 Tour: An Evening With Peter Frampton ,Blu-ray, most classical concerts are god with exception of Aix's house bands border on boring although good in sound and video.
To that end here are some classical favs:
New Year's Concert 2012 Blu-ray,
Flute Concertos at Sanssouci - A Tribute to Frederick The Great [BPhilharmoniker & Yutaka Sado Blu-ray, (2011,Mahler: Symphony No 8 Blu-ray 2012,Abbado Conducts Mahler: Symphony 5 Blu-ray 2011
Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 7,8 & 9 Blu-ray (2011)
Maybe with a collection o fover 150 BRs I should not what not to buy! lol
Three that come to mind are , Lou Reed, ELP, and David Gilmour.The first is nothing short of horrible.
