You made a good point. I think one thing missing in audio is actually seeing the performance. I imagine audiophiles in an ideal situation would have a holograph of the group and that coupled with a 3d sound presentation would be pretty amazing.
Better off not being seen
I enjoy music DVD's and if they're well recorded, find them the most realistic form of music reproduction. That being said, I recently come across some dreadful DVD's that might be enough to sway anyone off the concept if they were the first ones they saw. My take -
Diana Krall - Live in Paris - my first exposure to her. Assumedly my last. I trust the CD's are better, or else I don't understand the attraction.
Eagles - Farewell Tour. As good as the first DVD was, this one should be called "Once more without any effort". Yes the production is excellent, but the performance is like sleepwalking, and Joe Walsh unfortunately makes a complete buffoon of himself, with Don Henley as smarmy as ever. Yuck. For absolute diehard fans ONLY.
Fleetwood Mac - The Dance - Great production, but Stevie Nicks and her one-octave, fingernails-on-the-blackboard voice makes the off button the only safe place on the remote. The quicker the better.
Any other DVD's to avoid like the plague before I invest $25?
