About a year and a half ago, I posted a thread on the news of Full season of Elvis Costello's "Spectacle" coming to Blu Ray. You can read my comments here;

Great show, great 4 Disc BD set with spectacular DTS HD MA sound -featuring talk and over 40 tracks from the best of the best. I loved it - it rec'd a total of 5 responses on this forum
But hey - relatively early days in the evolution of Blu Ray as a competing format for surround.
So here goes again. The full Season 2 of Spectacle is to be released on Jun. 7 of this year. It will be a 2 disc set and will feature all 7 episodes with interviews and performances from;
NEKO CASE, SHERYL CROW, RON SEXSMITH and JESSE WINCHESTER
• NICK LOWE, Richard Thompson, Allen Toussaint and LEVON HELM
• BONO and The Edge of U2
• Mary Louise Parker interviews ELVIS COSTELLO
• JOHN PRINE, LYLE LOVETT and Ray Lamontagne
• BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Part 1 & Part 2
Details have not been fleshed out but I will assume the same format as season 1 - which means 5.1 mix supervised by Elvis Costello and tons of bonus performances not aired on the original show. I had the privilege of attending the John Prine/Lyle Lovett/Ray Lamontagne taping at the Apollo in Harlem, NY - a very special evening.
There is a very cool site within Wiki that gives a thorough overview of the show and includes a complete listing of every artist, side man and song performed - including those not seen on the original airing of the episodes.

I can't recommend this highly enough.
