    If anyone's looking for a little variety, I highly recommend both of David Foster's blu-ray concerts done in Vegas at Mandalay Bay. Hit Man and Hit Man Returns look fantastic on blu-ray and sound even better. Just some great acts, Boz Scaggs, Blake Shelton, Josh Groban and on and on. Hit Man Returns has Jackie Evancho, Earth, Wind and Fire, Neyo, Seal, Kenny Logins, Chaka Kahn, Gary Wright and more. This disc also has one of the last appearances by Donna Summer. They are 2 that get a lot of replay time from my library of concerts. Both these discs are those rare ones that you can sit down with your significant other and both enjoy the music. You've heard of date night movies? Well, these are date night concerts...
    TR, I was checking out the David Foster Hit Man and OutCastColt's Chris Botti blu ray selections and noticed the lovely and beautiful Renee Olstead sings some songs on 2 of them.

    Isn't she something? She's on the first Hit Man, right? Don't think she was much more than 19 at the time. I was counting the other night and discovered I have 125 blu-ray concerts now (it's a sickness, apparently) but don't have that early Chris Botti one, just his Live In Boston BD. Would you recommend it?

    I don't have that earlier Chris Botti blu ray, but have seen some of it on YouTube and it looks and sounds good. I will_ be buying it and David Foster Hit Man BRs:). Another suggestion to throw out there and this is only on DVD right now is Mario Frangoulis singing with The Boston Pops in concert. Might have been a PBS release and hard to find now. It looks and sounds great on YouTube. There are a few songs he does with the ever so lovely and beautiful Hayley Westenra that are awesome. I would love to see this one out on Blu Ray.

    The Dukes Of September: Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Box Scaggs. Live from Lincoln Center
    Watched this last night, just excellent. Great video for a concert, can't say anything bad about it. Audio as well, listened to the DTS HD Master 5.1 track. Great separation, though not much going on in the surrounds but audience applause, as it should be. Found I had to crank the volume a bit, but fantastic sound. They play each other's songs with wonderful results. Highly recommended if you're a fan of any of these 3. Set list:

    People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul
    Whos That Lady?
    Sweet Soul Music
    I Keep Forgettin
    Kid Charlegmagne
    The Same Thing
    Miss Sun
    You Can Never Tell
    What A Fool Believes
    Hey Nineteen
    Love T.K.O.
    Peg
    Lowdown
    Takin It To The Streets
    Reelin In The Years
    Lido Shuffle
    Pretzel Logic
    Them Changes

    I picked up the new Celtic Woman blu ray titled Emerald from Amazon. Looks and sounds great, definitely worth a spin.

    I know it's not a BD but the Nirvana live and loud DVD is fantastic. My only beef with it is how they said everything was previously not released. Total bs as I hold my 93' bootleg VHS, I count that as released!!!

    Jethro Tull * DIO * The rolling Stones *The Doors *AC/DC * and now Queen*
