 Save your money October 17, 2008

If you have any ear for audio, save your money and do not buy this blu-ray. The mix is awful. The only difference between the Dolby and the DTS tracks are that they have turned the dodgy vocal echo effects up a little. Other friends in audio studios have said the dvd was terrible and now I know that all the blu-ray does it give it a clearer picture with the same horrendously mixed soundtrack. The band are great, but this blu-ray won't even make a good coffee coaster...
 A Must for any collection October 10, 2008
Again I was able to add another fantastic one to my collection, this one is so awesome. The boys, Dusty, Billy and Frank have given us a tribute to a great band, wonderful performance, awesome purchase.
Will never see my DVD Player again. October 5, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I rarely review, but felt compelled to save people from this one. The audio is horrible. I tried DD, DTS, stereo, etc. Muddy, muddled, echo'y...not sure else how to describe it. The vocals are completely a mess...like they are singing thru a pillow, while the instruments are wide open. The video is crisp and clear, but often, it shifts scene to scene every 2 seconds. I could make lots of comments about content, but it is useless due to my above comments. I like ZZ!. But this is a disaster.
 Does Billy have arthritis? October 2, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I always knew these guys were getting long in the tooth because they were my rock heros when I was in diapers, sucking on fudgesicles (I'm now 46). I have to think that Billy Gibbons is suffering from arthritis because his timing and accuracy in hitting guitar notes is just awful. It's actually painful to hear these guys play. Frank Beard (drummer) looks like he'd rather be attending a funeral than playing this gig. With all the other reviewers complaining about the poor audio mix on this disc, I can't beleive no one else noticed this lackluster performance of the "L'il Ol' Band from Texas."
Crappy Sound Mixing! October 2, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've heard some good and some bad recordings of live performances. This one literally stinks it's so bad. I tried to remain enthusiastic but it never got any better throughout the entire DVD. (In my particular case it certainly can't be blamed on the equipment. I have top of the line Polk Audio speakers & subwoofer set up for 5.1 Surround and driven by a Sony 770w receiver.) It's crappy recording and mixing. Not at all what I'd expect from ZZ Top.
