Back On The Scene [DVD Audio] - T-Bone Walker

Advantages: You can see the concert on DVD
Disadvantages: You get a lot of audience shots and documentary

...Paul McCartney’s ‘Back in the US’ concert tour of America in 2002 was captured on DVD. An icon of pop music, he changed countless lives and carved his name through whole cultures. Here he can be seen playing over thirty songs, live in front of huge audiences. Paul McCartney is a giant of musical creativity and a great singer and performer still rightly venerated by most of the world forty years after he first became famous. For those of us who were fortunate enough to have grown up in the 1960s there were other giants. John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, The Who, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin… the list goes on. What we didn’t know then is how spoilt we were. We thought that this standard of song writing and musical innovation was quite normal. Time has marched... Read review

Disadvantages: DVD-Audio format restricts transfer to MP3 players

In 2005, software developers created a way to decrypt the protection, but this does involve patching your media players illegally - don't be naughty... It's up to you if you consider buying the standard CD-Audio, which is perfectly good quality in it's own right. Another slight drawback about this... Read review
