I own several of the discs above and can say the Fleetwood Mac cd version has better sonics than the dts sound and it,s a realistic soundstage as the rears in any mix to date although initially impressive,are not realistic or well placed.I can also tell you neil young is the most anti digital artist there is,and prefers analog.He also said that he wanted to release his material in sacd,not dvd-a but warner gave no choice.Even neils old abused ears can tell that sacd is the superior format,and if there is going to be multi channel music that gets it right,it will probably be sacd multi channel,assuming they ever get the rear placement of sounds right.All of this being said,my favorite music dvd is stevie ray vauhn and its in two channel dd and has a average video,but what a performance.
Top Music DVD s?
There aren't a lot of good music DVD's around, i.e., ones that are well recorded AND have good music. Last night, I listened to the DVD of "James Taylor: Live at the Beacon Theater", and highly recommend it for those that enjoy Taylor's work. To be honest, I am not a great fan of Taylor, but I still liked the DVD very much. The audio quality of the disk is very high, with just enough sense of the theater acoustics to sound like a live concert. I've also heard (several times) the DVD's by Talking Heads (Stop Making Sense), and Pink Floyd (The Wall), and liked them also. I have rented the DVD of Tina Turner's live concert, but have not played it yet. Does anyone have other favorites that meet the criteria for having good music, being well recorded, and generally less known? (No need to include the live concert "The Eagles".)
