For anyone who has seen this show on Blu Ray, DVD or on AXS TV it is remarkable. The musicianship and vocal arrangements are incredible-just an awesome live set. Yes, we know DDY is gone, but this is so great it's not even funny and very, very powerful.

This is a must have as we were discussing in the 2013 Concerts thread. Seriously amazing stuff.

You are so right IP, got this on Blu-Ray. This set kicks ass!

Does the BR have a hi res audio 2.0 option?

All it says about the 2.0 is it's LPCM[i'd imagine it's 24/48]

I find it frustrating that's the case with a lot of BR's (non disclosure of the sampling freq & bit rate) & my Oppo only reports the text info embedded in the disc by the mastering engineer as opposed to the actual bit rate ; so even that way at times it's hard to tell. My old Pioneer (SACD & DVD-A, but NOT blu) reported the true bit rate.

I have the DVD version and I agree that it's great. Not sure I need a CD copy, but for anyone who hasn't seen or heard them lately, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised at how good they sound. However, I think the concert they did with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra & Chorus ("One With Everything") is even better.

I think it took a lot of trust in the audience to do this playlist. Look at the power line-up in 4 of the first 5 songs, and then no raidio played stuff for the next 8, but if you played these albums as much as I did, it works.
