Music For Montserrat Live - Dolby Digital & DTS

Summary: Wish I was there..
Review: A very polished, well performed, concert. Outstanding digital sound and video quality combined with a great performance make this one of the more enjoyable DVD concerts I've seen. Whether you are a fan of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, or Mark Knopfler, one can't help but enjoy seeing them together on stage. The artists enjoyed it, and you will too. The Hey Jude finale with Paul and Elton and Sting trading verses will give you goosebumps! Sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy this one!

Summary: Great music... but the sound engineer should be fired!
Review: With such an excellent assembly of artists and such a great selection of music, this extremely poor quality audio recording wasted what was a tremendous opportunity for an outstanding concert video. Specifically, certain vocal tracks and mike feeds were not captured at all or with very little presence. Two examples are not hearing Sting's classic "I want my MTV" during Knopfler's "Money for Nothing" and not hearing Paul McCartney in a later verse in "Hey Jude". The music was great but these disappointments significantly flaw the DVD.

Summary: Great artists, great songs,great mood, terrible recordings.
Review: For a DTS Dolby Digital recording the sound recording is a let down. What a wasted opportunity. The mood of the concert was extraordinary and so were the singers.

Summary: All-Star Lineup
Review: This is a very good recording of a fabulous concert. The sound and picture are first rate and the list of performers is, simply, a stunning collection of British rockers. McCartney singing "Golden Slumbers" is alone worth the purchase price. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Superb!
Review: One of the best DVDs I have purchased so far! Where else could you get this calibre of talent on stage, all in the one sitting. I was simply mesmerize for the entire DVD. I hope that these gentlemen have passed on their talents to their children, otherwise what loss.

Summary: Great music by all my favorite artists
Review: This is a great DVD to pop in and just listen to after a hard day at work. The music is great, although I may be biased, seeing as how all my favorite artists are featured, especially Mark Knopfler. Sting's performance is another highlight, as he sings his standard "Message In A Bottle". You may want to skip Elton John after he does "Your Song" to get to Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. All in all, a great concert.

Summary: An Excellent DVD Concert
Review: As a survivor of the Woodstock generation these artists play the music I love to hear. The musicians are in excellent shape, the line-up is superb, the selections are well-chosen and the DDS 5.1 mix is a showroom example of a proper live concert mix. Ambient and live but clear and focused. All in all an excellent sounding DVD of some top-flight musicians and songwriters strutting their finest stuff with Sir George Martin adding some very fine string embellishments to many of the songs. If you like these artists and their music this DVD will not disappoint you.

Summary: Don't Pass Over This One
Review: This DVD blew me away when I watched it at a friends house. Where else will you see, sting, elton john, eric clapton, phil colins, dire straits and paul maccartny all on the one stage, performing the one song.
