I used to think that too, but I have a different view on it now.
I just love seeing Phil so happy up on that stage playing and singing Genesis music. Contrast that with almost everything he's done since then (including the rather mediocre covers album "Going Back") and not only has he not done anything that great since the tour, but he's also been completely miserable at times, almost to the point of being suicidal (something that's been on my mind a lot lately with Emerson's death) so I now see the between-song patter as an extension of the joy he had up there on that stage with the other four guys celebrating an important part of his musical career, all while the audience is absolutely loving it.
Also, the between-song patter is the kind of thing that doesn't work well on a DVD but works great when you're actually there in the crowd.
(The only bittersweet thing about all of this is that I couldn't make it to a Genesis show that year, and I'm still mad at that missed opportunity.)
Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour
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.
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'.
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.
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.
