Ordered the blu ray and got the amazon stream. It'll be an experiment to see which sounds better, and if it's worth buying blu rays.

Didn't know who he was but we recognize all his stuff! Best share YET! I guess he does the music for all the best movies?

I encourage others to listen to this!

Is that only available in audio? or is video too?

Hans Zimmer - “Live in Prague “ is a must listen for everyone! It's fun and it really lets yours speakers roam around a bit to areas not normally visited. turn up and enjoy... thank you Jeff!

Sorry - shut up and play the hits is a doc, but discs 2 and 3 are the concert at madison square garden.

Makes sense. I watched some of the doc, it's not bad.

Hey Rebulx,
I'm glad you enjoyed it. One of my favorite concert disks. I would have a difficult time choosing a favorite track, maybe Journey to the LIne or Interstellar or perhaps Inception. As I said difficult to choose.
This concert performance is an auditory feast, from the simplest of orchestrations with minimal instrumentation to the most complicated of scoring with over 70 performers contributing. Good stuff!
Played on a decent pair of floorstanders it can be quite an intimate experience.
And yes he or one of his associates (Remote Control Productions) have worked on many successful well received films.The list of current and former composers working at RCP is fairly long and notable.

An interesting facet of his career. Late in the 70's Zimmer was the keyboardist in a band called the Buggles.
In the early 80's their single "Video Killed the Radio Star" was the first music video played on, you guessed it, MTV!

Another concert disk I enjoy is Peter Gabriel "Secret World Live". First time I saw it was on a PBS special presentation, years later found it on DVD, more good stuff! Gabriel, although not as theatrical as he once was as a member of Genesis gives a stellar performance backed by a group of extremely talented musicians from around the world.

cheers
Jeff

Hey Jeff,

That was a neat tid bit about Han's, small world I guess! He has the skills to pay the bills!

Looking forward to trying your second suggestion. Your first was without question the BEST we've heard. I've steamed several times and also ordered the dvd. Hope Peter Gabriel is just as good.

Hey Rebulx,
I can’t say the Gabriel is just as good. I know that I’ve always enjoyed it. Perhaps you will too.

enjoy,
Jeff

Hey Jeff, Han's blu ray arrived today...damn kids are in bed so it'll have to wait till tomorrow, lol, looking forward to comparing the streaming to the blu ray. That was one of the very best concerts i've seen to date. thanks for that!

Rebulx,
Are you listening in stereo or Atmos?
I’ve only heard this in stereo. I also have this on cd. To me, the stereo mix on the cd is decidedly better than the Blu-rays stereo mix.
But both are good.
Would like to hear the Atmos mix at some point.

Jeff
