Don't get excited. The final disc in the Neil Young Archives Blu-Ray box is a Blu-Ray disc of Neil's film "Journey Through the Past". The soundtrack is a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix.
However, the rears are used for some sound effects (cars driving by and through the listening area), but not so much (if at all) for the music portions.
This is a strange film. I've had the LP since it came out in the '70s, but I've never seen the film. I don't think it had a very wide distribution.
The scenes with Buffalo Springfiled, CSN&Y, and Neil performing are great. The film bits in between range from interesting to downright dull.
As for the video, it does not do justice to Blu-Ray, so those with the DVD set will miss nothing by having plain DVD-Video. The aspect ration is 16x9, and the quality of the print is great.
Just don't expect much from the surround speakers!

, but I was looking forward to checking it out again. I had been excited by the DTS-HD Master Audio, but this is disappointing news. I had this set pre-ordered for the longest time and cancelled it last month. I'd still love to have it, but it's getting harder to justify.
