+1 for Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's Blu-Ray. Wonderful sound and video quality, excellent musicianship and so tight. Fun and interesting interview with Jeff Beck too. The extra rockabilly concert is not really my cup of tea. This is one of the best value purchases I've made in a long time ($15.99 from Amazon.com).

I've enjoyed the David Gilmour concert at The Royal Albert Hall a lot too.

I picked up Dire Straits' Alchemy Live recently too. I've always enjoyed this concert, but my memory of the LP and VHS soundtracks was that both were much better than CD, which sounds unpleasantly 'hot' in comparison. This is better on the Blu-Ray, but still not as good as my memory of the LP/VHS. Quite frustrating, as the sound quality is generally quite good on Knopfler's work. The interviews are a great blast from the past. This was a lot cheaper to buy from Amazon.co.uk and have shipped to the US than from Amazon.com.

Porcupine Tree have been getting a lot of play time of late. I don't think there's anything they have done that I don't like more the more I listen to it. I really wish it was easier to see them live over here - something else for the Bucket List.

Cheers, Ian
