FRANCIS my pal, you're bound to find the Blu Rays I cited from amazon UK, original Amazon (US), and if you wanted an alternative source - from CD-Wow UK. Cd-Wow, I have to cautioned you, is not as reputable as Amazon, but they'll never cheat on you. The worst they could do is curse-inducing delays. As to CSN, Paul McArtney & wings and the other concerts you cited, wala akong nalalaman na may BD sa mga taong ito. There's two CSN concert DVDs I know, but I have not gotten any one because this group is despairingly ageing and there's the third member whose musical juice is hopelessly sapped out a long long time ago, by drug abuse. I would not care to watch a living wreck like that. As to Paul McArtney, I have the 2-disk THE MACARTNEY YEARS VIDEOGRAPHY DVD. The most complete and only one compilation of Paul's videos, a godsend for completist. This is a treasure for the strong fans - it has the classic videos for Ebony & Ivory, Take It Away, Blackbird (from Band On The Run), and dozens more. But its not on BD hence you have to make do with the average quality of these resurrected short films.
The music BDs I touted to you are good collectables because they could be enjoyed even by your older or younger family members. The bad thing about rock music is that it polarizes the young from the not-so-young and the elderly because the elderly will likely to find its beat, melody and rhythm as repulsive. Di tulad noong araw, music can be enjoyed by everyone in the house. Kaya if you're going to spend lang for concert BDs, pilii mo na yang ma-appreciate kahit medyo bata at medyo may edad na. There's ANDREA BOCELLI VIVERE - but this BD has a technical defect, in the duet numbers with Sarah B, the closeups is not as crisp as the picture resolution of general stage shots. Brief sequences are also present where the resolution looks "ngongo" or visually blunted. Its annoying and very few pieces are musically ear-friendly.
DAVID FOSTER'S THE HITMAN is a very good collectable. On this BD, I saw around EIGHT FILIPINOS among the audiences. I couldn't be mistaken about it - those are Pinoys on the audience. They're present on the Chaka Khan I'm Every Woman number, and the last two songs from Donna Summer. West-bound Pinoys looked they truly loved Foster - or maybe they're present to add more clapping force to that overrated Pempengco girl. Kung di pa ako nagkakamali, kabilang din sa audience ay yung retired US Women Volleyball champion na si Gabrielle Reece yata yun, at yung bidang babae sa isang 90's US sitcom. Hence Hitman is worth having for its Pinoys-in-the-audience curiosity factor.
CHRIS BOTTI BOSTON is good visually but the numbers are "uneven." Botti is able to make his BD a worthwhile musical with fair repeat viewing factor - but for every Yo Yo Ma and Lusia Micarelli (both violinists) there's the meant-to-shock invitee like the Aerosmith lead singer which ruins the show, that satan-worshipping junkie with a face like a chihuahua's skin.
