Frage vorab: haben wir eigentlich noch keinen eigenen Thread für Musik-DVDs und -BDs … ?
Auch wenn es diese Aufnahmen auf CD gibt – entweder als 4CD- oder als 2 DCD-Sets – an dieser Stelle eine Empfehlung für eine BLU-RAY:
On October 29th and 30th, 2009, rock ’n‘ roll royalty held court at Madison Square Garden for what have been called ‚the best concerts ever,‘ where ‚rock ’n‘ roll history was made.‘ Recorded live with 30 camera angles plus state-of-the-art recording, we captured the sights and sounds from these electrifying and historic concerts in New York City.
Now, this critically-acclaimed and highly-rated HBO special is available on Blu-ray for the very first time! ‚THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME CONCERTS‘ features all 51 performances from the acclaimed HBO special, plus 16 performances not seen on HBO, all in a 2-disc Blu-ray set.
In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the concerts featured a who’s who of rock from the ’50s to the ’90s and included artists performing together in unique combinations that will most likely never be witnessed again.

„25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Concerts“ ist in den USA erschienen, dies erfreulicherweise auf BD unlocked :bier: , die Bildqualität ist hervorragend (gerade auch was Schwarzwert und Rauschen angeht) und der Inhalt an vielen Stellen sogar auch irgendwie amüsant (wobei ich gerade automatisch an Springsteens’s Darbiertung von „London Calling“ zusammen mit Morello denken muss).
Bei dieser Gelegenheit Frage an diejenigen, die die Aufnahme bereits kennen: wer ist die junge Bassistin bei Jeff Beck ? Seine Tochter … ???
