I just watched it this week, after having recieved it 2 months ago!
Great performance by everyone in the band, but you already knew that...
Quality-wise, the picture didn't bother me since I have a 4:3 tv, but I know these dvds don't come out too good zoomed-in on a 16:9. I'll probably settle for a very small picture when I do watch it on a 16:9....
I listened to it with the 5.1 track, and yes, I was disappointed..... It only seems like reverb and crowd noise coming from the surround speakers. I know this is done to re-create the feeling of being in the venue, but it didn't quite work well in this case. I'll give the PCM track a try next time around.
The 5.1 mix on A Sound Relief was so much better. Like you are on the stage with the band, and get this, are surrounded by the music!, and still hear the crowd. I absolutely loved it. In fact, that's one of the dvds I play to people who want to know what a good surround mix sounds like!
And A Sound Relief has the 5.1 mix in DTS. A Noise Severe only has the dolby digital track. Another drop in quality from the previous release....
I know I come off like another complainer, but I just expected the same level of quality that I got with ASR. Like I said, I'll watch it again with the PCM track, and will probably enjoy it even more, 'cos it is a fantastic performance.
