Pat Metheny Group: The Way Up - Live [Blu-ray]
Date undefinedI have to say I'm really surprised that nobody else has complained about this but I felt the camera cuts were OBNOXIOUSLY frequent to the point that I honestly can't watch the dvd. It sounds ridiculous but I actually recorded the audio into my computer so I can just listen to the concert. The camera cuts to a different performer an average of once every bar through the entire concert and it is common as the intensity picks up for the camera to cut as frequently as every beat. We have to be talking thousands of cuts over the length of the performance. Do we need this? I think the average jazz fan has a longer attention span than most; why do producers always feel the need to "inject" excitement into live music dvd's when the good performers (like these guys) can do that themselves?
Speaking of the performance-as you would expect and as seemingly agreed upon by everyone else, the musicianship and performances are outstanding. Nothing left to be desired there. I really enjoy listening to the CD I made of it!

Date undefinedOnce again, Pat Metheny and his amazing bandmates prove that they are the greatest group of today and possibly, ever. If performances like this one are put in a time capsule or launched on the Voyager,future generations or other life-forms may think we had SOME good things about us. Buy this.

Date undefinedIf your looking a visual experience than unless your a musician your probably going to be disappointed. This is an audio experience. These guys play and that's all they do. But the playing is an experience. The This Way Up CD is a masterpiece and to see that it can be played live is a real treat. Sound wise I have to use Dolby Digtal 5.1 II since I have an older receiver (No HDMI) so I using the optical output from a PS3 and it sounds great. The 5.1 mix is also very good. Honestly I bought the DVD so I could get a 5.1 mix of This Way Up. But the live performance is an improvement over the CD.
