Bad Company Merchants of Cool. Pretty good DTS track. Never bought any of their stuff when they came out and picked this up on a whim. Pleasant surprise...these guys cook ('course they been practicing these songs for nearly thirty years so they ought to have it down by now)

Some of my favorites would include:

Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live -great DTS track and as always a killer band.

Dejohnette/Hancock/Holland/Metheny - primo jazz outing shot in 16x9 back in 1990, personally I prefer the stereo mix over the DD5.1 on this one. Four jazz legends collaborating on some fantastic tunes

Grateful Dead - Closing of Winterland - a nice DTS track, especially considering the recording dates from 1978. The video quality is only fair, as it is taken from video tape from the KQED archives which carried the show live.

Pat Metheny - Imaginary Day Live - some people can't deal with the kinda cheesy video effects that Steve Rodby used here and there on this DVD, but the music is great and includes a primo DTS track. I only wish it had been shot in 16x9.

And even though you said no DVD-A, I've got to include Porcupine Tree's "Deadwing" DVD-A (it includes a DTS track for those of us without a DVD-A capable player). The 5.1 mix absolutely brings this densly produced album to life and makes me think that the band considers this to be the definitive mix of the recording.

Tell me about "One more car one more rider"
Is it really that good??

Brilliant in every respect (audio & video quality). Dolby Digital and DTS at the best.

Cheers,
Demetrio.

ditto for
Secret World - PG
Symphonic Live - Yes
In Absentia - Porc Tree DVD A - (haven't picked up Deadwing yet)

I just went and ordered the Clapton - One more car one more rider DVD from Amazon, hey its Clapton & DTS and only $9.99 for new ones! Can't get any better than that. Looking forward to sittting down and listening to it. The write up didnt say DTS but some of the reviewers mentioned it, so hoping it has it. Also went ahead and got a used copy of the enhanced CD for $7.50.

Clapton...

Anything Eric Clapton I've heard has been great!

I hope "RUSH LIVE IN RIO" souds better than the cd. (sounds ok but was wanting more) Rush sound quality has gone down since "VAPOR TRAILS". Too little base and that wishy washy guitar sound. Whats up with that!?!?

Still there are like family gotta love them!!!

Favorite concert DVD's

I love, among others

Steely Dan -- Two Against Nature
Peter Gabriel -- Secret World Live
Peter Gabriel -- Growing Up Live
Blue Man Group -- The Complex Rock Tour Live

The Steely Dan live gig is the DVD that sold me on surround music (although there is an annoying tendency to put the backup singers in the rears). Rock solid...give me a six pack, a dark room, and that DVD, and I'm on my way.

Peter Gabriel is a master at image and sound, and the two concerts listed are enormous. Enormous.

The Blue Man Group concert is both hilarious and butt-shaking.

Concert DVDs

1. Steely Dan - Two Against Nature - Hey, it's Fagen & Becker! They're a little long in the tooth, but you can watch the backup singers instead.
2. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Live from Austin - Even if you never really like SRV, it's hard to not be a fan after watching this guy during and after drug abuse. No other guitar player I know of plays lead & rhythm at the same time.
3. Led Zepp box set - I was sick of these guys 'till I saw this series. Jimmy Page (even on junk) was the hardest workin' guitarist in rock.
4. Clapton Unplugged - this guy has aged well
5. Roy Orbison Black & White Night - timeless, bittersweet. 6. Beatles Anthology - OK, I'm a child of the 60's. You could put a Beatles title on a brick and I'd buy it.
7. Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense. - try staying seated with this stuff

Being a Beatles fan, have you seen and listened to the latest renewed Yellow Submarine DVD in DD 5.1??
I want to get it
