I'm surprised the Monterey disc would sound good considering it's a live recording from that period.

I'll have to check it out!

Anything by the Dave Matthews Band is awesome!
Metallica - Cunning Stunts, Symphony & Metallica (S & M)
Stay away from Emerson, Lake & Palmer (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)! The sound is god awful!!!

Ditto bigjohn's suggestion for the Eagles HFO in DTS 5.1

I listened to Steely Dan - Two Against Nature - DTS 5.1 last night. If you are a Steely Dan fan like I am and have been for over 20 years this is a must have. Some of the interviews are a bit cheesy and poorly done but when the music kicks in you better hang on. As I mentioned earlier, I have been listening to this band for over 20 years. I was trying to clasify it in a genre. Is it jazz, funk, blues, rock or all the above? All I know is this DTS disc kicks butt.

Another favorite worth mentioning is Fleetwood Mac - The Dance - DD 5.1 Classic Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham doing what they do best.

Do you have "Everything Must Go"? I'm curious as to which is "better"?

No Mark, I don't have that one. Was that released on DVD? I thought it was CD audio only.

I have it on DVD Audio. It's probably one of the best sounding discs I have, but the music itself just doesn't "work for me" as much as their older stuff.

I think both these releases won Grammies, so I don't think either is bad.... I was just curious about the comparison if a Steely Dan fan owned both!
