Why are all blu ray music discs live ?

Slash Made In Stoke Blu-ray is out of this world!  Best I have heard!  Iron Maiden Flight 666, Amy Winehouse and Keane.

Iron maiden's flight 666 sure is a belter, Tarja (Turrenen) act1 is probably the best music blu ray i have seen so far - pq & sound are amazing (awesome vocalist & band)- AC/DC live at donnington, AC/DC live at river plate all good stuff

I thought I forgot one!  AC/DC Live at Donnington is brilliant!    One of my favourites too.

I've just got Neil Young's Psychedelic Pill on blu-ray, pcm stereo 24/192. Sounds ok but quite different when sent to hi-fi via rca. Thinking of getting a dac but looking at the manual for my sony s760 the digi out it appears to downgrade the signal. [48khz/16bit - outputs audio signals of 96khz sampling as 48khz/16 bit. or 96khz/24bit - outputs audio signals of 96khz sampling as 96khz/24bit. However the signals will be output as 48khz/16bit if the source is copy protected] Whats that all about? What is it sending via hdmi?

Just ordered this one. i was going to buy at HMV and support my local shop, but £18.99, compared to £11.99 on Amazon ? 

My money went online, and please don't say it's because of VAT - that would only account for a £2.50 difference

Just got Metallica Black Album on DVD AUDIO I just sat there with my mouth wide open enter the sandman has never sounded as good the bass was so deep and guitars coming from every speaker 

Is it this one?

Yes that is it just listened to enter the sandman again worth it just for that !

Celine Dion, blimey you are brave to tell anyone that ,lol

My girlfriend wanted to see her when we was in Vegas but could not get tickets so I thought I would by the blu ray hope it sounds good 

That's my storey and I am sticking to it

Best music Blu-rays I've heard:

Neil Young's Archives Vol.1 - stunning but pricey. £200 for 10 Blu-rays. Not just music, but it's all I go back to once I've viewed the film and photo footage. 

I'm quite disappointed with the SQ of the recent Zep Blu-ray. I think the CD sounds as good/bad. Shame as they sound on fantastic form. 

Other higher-rez formats I've enjoyed:

1) Neil Young's studio albums of the last decade. Most seemed to come with a DVD-A disc too. They sound great. Prairie Wind in 24/96 sounds fantastic. 

2) Likewise all the remastered Talking Heads' CDs from a few years back also contained a DVD-A of the album. They sound great. Personal favourites are True Stories and Speaking In Tongues. 

3) King Crimson's Crimson King re-issue contains a 24bit hi-rez disc too and that sounds excellent. 

4) American Mavericks - Michael Tilson Thomas/SFSO. Modern orchestral music on SACD. Wonderful sound, dynamic and ever so slightly unhinged music. 

5) Steely Dan's Gaucho on DTS-CD. I bought this by mistake a few years ago. It wouldn't play in my PS3 but my Denon UD had no problems. 

Sounds fantastic, then again it would sound half-decent on a mangled TDK C60 tape too. It's a great recording, if you like your music in ultra-arid, knowingly  etoliated form.
