I get your point but still find excessive stage patter annoying. Glad that Phil was happy! Some might consider it self indulgent.

That's interesting. What's the surround mix like?
Been awhile since I listened. Primarily Dance/Electronica synth washes in the rears - great sub action as well.
Two Against Nature Steely Dan's Plush TV Jazz-Rock Party in Sensuous Surround Sound, there's a bit of talk and interview stuff but if you hit the advance button, all is good. Just wish they'd included West of Hollywood and given Chris Potter his moment.
Yeah that's a great disc. I ripped the audio to FLAC and cut out the interview segments (this interrupting-concerts-with-interviews &%@# is actually one of my biggest pet peeves). Now, it's a perfect 10 for me.
I hate those discs that have these "interviews" between songs...I have to use my trusty remote and skip them...I don't know if they are trying to increase the "running time" of the concert by doing this or what...they should be included in extras or bonus parts...my other pet peeve with concerts is the "whip lash" camera shots...because they have multiple cameras they feel the need to keep switching them every 30 seconds....most older concerts don't have this problem because they didn't have that many cameras...
um, so given all the listings here, some of which are technically 'discrete' but from a mix perspective are band-in-front, audience-in-rear, what did the OP mean by 'discrete'?
This seems to be more a list of 'live albums available in surround'.

Sorry, but none of my listings are "band in the front, audience in the rear".
Band in the Front, Band in the Rear; best describes my listings. With audience in the rear.

You guys are killing me....I haven't watched a concert on my new 65" TV since I got it... (well, did watch Porcupine Trees)..but nothing else. Taking today off work to get some things done ahead of my business trip to Argentina. I think I'll dig out my concerts and watch one.

I remember this has a sort of fake surround.
Nobody yet mentioned Pink Floyd with Pulse.
Listen again to "What is and what should never be" .
On both the dvd and dvda, impressive surround with Page's guitar, demo'd in each speaker separately. Jimmy Page/Kevin Shirley mixed this in surround as well as Page/Plante-Unledded.
-and there is more, but nothing fake about the surround in my observations.And they are not the same concert dates of course, but the technique is evidently similar.
I second Nirvana Unplugged, stellar sounding disc and yup, it's definitely discrete. I also like Alice In Chains Unplugged, while I don't recall it being a discrete mix, it sounds great nonetheless.
