Got the Blu-Ray. Sorry to say it is Dolby Digital 5.1 only, with PCM 2.0 stereo. Also 720P, not 1080. Sound and picture are excellent, but who knows if it could have been better in lossless with 1080P. Won't give a thorough review until I've watched it all.

If you're a big fan of Vai like me, I would also recommend picking up the 4- hour 2-disc Live In Astoria, London DVD (2003) as well as the Visual Sound Theories DVD (2007) which puts Vai amongst the massive Holland Metropole Orkest rather than his typical 3-4 piece rock band and features a better DD 5.1 mix done by Vai himself.

So as usual, after saying that, I bought it anyway. My collection was missing it. The video is okay. Not the best concert PQ though. Close shots look pretty good and far away shots look soft and out of focus. I see no black problems really. Also, I noticed that the bit rate is really quite high for an MPEG2. It hovers in the high 20's most of the time. The audio as pointed out is I guess 640 kbps max. Considering this fact, the audio is really quite good as well. The one violin that is not electronically juiced as much sounds pretty clear and lifelike and you can hear all the instruments separately in the mix most of the time. There is still this kind of "veil" on everything though in comparison to a normal DTS MA or Dolby HD track. In total this BR release comes out as generally acceptable unless you play something like Return To Forever before it because then you will notice the difference when you put Vai on afterwards.
What IDIOT decided to release a MUSIC video with 1080p video & 640kbps Dolby Digital?
