Watched the BluRay version two nights ago. Amazing performance by a 60 year old man with nothing left to prove. Easily the best concert DVD he has put out.
I wish he had asserted himself more along those lines when his record company produced "The Rising" and "Magic" for him, and he heard what it sounded like. Great music, crappy sound.
Ditto on Metralla's comments about "great music, but crappy sound". From a sound quality perspective, the Boss's recordings have been a huge disappointment!
I agree about the sonics of the Hyde Park Blu-Ray, and of much of Springsteen's recordings. Magic in particular is simply awful! Incredibly compressed and harsh sounding. I don't understand the comments about The Rising, however. Certainly not audiophile quality, but really quite good for a rock record - IMHO.
