"The Allman Brothers Live at the Beacon Theater" (Oct 1st release) is my latest new standard music DVD. Culled from their annual series of shows at the Beacon Theater, New York, in 2003, this new "revived" band features wunderkind guitarist Derrick Trucks and returnee Wayne Haynes. Their guitar interply is the Allman Brothers best days with Duane and, yet, good enough to stand in their own right! The entire band is reinvigorated. The DVD production work - sound mix, visuals, and editing, are all first rate. If you love rock-blues guitar playing, jaw-dropping slide guitar work, and growling vocals, this is your disc. Add this recommendation to all the excellent earlier suggestions.
concert DVD recommendations
The new Led Zeppelin(DTS) really rocks. The sound quality is incredible. A must have for Zeppelin fans. U/2 Revelation Tour(5.1) video and audio are as good as it gets. This concert really rocks. Its a great performance by a great band. The Freddie Mercury Tribute(DTS) Awesome sound and video. This is a very well done concert live from Wimmbley Stadium-Robert Plant/David Bowie/Elton John/and a ton of other stars. They really put their hearts into this,and weren't just going through the motions. Eagles-When Hell Freezes Over(DTS)- Enough said. Steely Dan-Two Against Nature(DTS) A lot of their older hits mixed in. Very nice performance. Others in my rotation- Sade/Norah Jones/Cheryl Crow(DTS)/Sarah McGlocklin Mirror Ball-The audio is not the best. Would love some suggestions for other great concert DVD's(especially in DTS) I get the most mileage out of these when company is over,and I get to show off the system. Its easier to hold their attention with a DVD as opposed to 2 channel. Peace
