I prefer to watch Blu-rays or DVDs of better performances at home.


I have an extensive collection of concerts on DVD and blue ray. A musician friend condescendingly asked me why, as a bass player, I never go to concerts (he was going to a stones concert for which he paid a very respectable three figures per ticket). I said my limit is $25 per ticket. Once they went over that, I just stopped seeing major acts.

But I have every Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Who, Blacksmore’s Night, Berlin, Loreena McKennitt, George Straight and a miriad of other artists concerts and videos on Blue Ray and DVD.

And they all get me right on stage and sound a LOT better than the “colliseum” or many other live experiences.

One problem is that the video stream is mixed like it was done by a three year old with ADD. The maximum attention span of the editor is about three seconds.
