Reviews:
Knew of Chris Botti, but this made me a fan
I purchased this Blu-ray from Amazon before the holidays and will confirm that it is of the highest quality. Perhaps the best review I can give is that my wife and I have watched it at least 6 times together and it has such good parts that we've shared it with friends when they are over for the evening. A lot of my friends are musicians, so the evening turns into "You have to see the drum solo on the last song," or "There's a part where Josh Groban messes up Sting's lyrics during a duet with Sting in the bonus features!"
* Performance
- My faves are Josh Groban, Sting, Steven Tyler, and in general, Chris Botti, his band, and the Boston Pops. Wow. So good.
* Video quality
- Not only does it sound amazing, but as a musician, I really appreciate the long, detailed camera shots of Chris Botti's 4-piece band. Drums, bass, guitar, and piano. These players are not only technically fantastic, but they are so expressive when they perform. It takes the show to a whole new level, and I much prefer it compared to David Foster's Blu-ray where the band is mostly darkened near the back of the stage. Looks great on my 54" Panasonic G-10 Plasma. I'm using a PS3 to play the Blu-ray.
* Audio
- I currently only have 2.1 audio, but the mix sounds good to my ears. It certainly is quality enough to be made a live, audio-only CD album.

Joyce Unable to View Blu-Ray DVD
I'd seen this performance on PBS and decided to order two DVD's for Christmas gifts. UNFORTUNATELY, I found out too late that a Blu-Ray player is necessary to play it. I'm surprised you don't sell a DVD that plays on a regular DVD player, or at least explain that Blu-Ray doesn't work on a regular DVD player.
