1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste!, January 30, 2006

Paul L. Resnik (Orlando, FL.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: BB King Blues Session (DVD)

First, the DTS sound is misleading. It's very distorted and hard to hear any channel separation. The video looks like it was originally taped on VHS from TV. The reception is actually "snowy". A big disappointment! I have a VHS copy of the original Showtime broadcast from 1987 taped from C-Band satellite with dolby digital audio, and it blows this DVD version away!

1.0 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE DVD TRANSFER, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!, March 1, 2006

D. B Cowan "lelublue" (San Antonio, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: BB King Blues Session (DVD)

This is a fantastic show with an once in a lifetime grouping of legendary blues musicians BUT this new version on DVD is horrible quality with bad picture & audio. The VHS & especially the laserdisc versions are far superior. Hopefully someday a true re-mastered version will appear.

1.0 out of 5 stars very bad dvd, September 4, 2005

Gonzalo Ramos Guti�rrez "Straight To Hell" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: BB King Blues Session (DVD)

This is a poor transfer of that 1987 show with Albert King, Etta James, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Paul Butterfield, and so on. Everything is bad in this release, poor audio, poor video, that horrible cover. Even the menus are painfull, you just can't even read some song titles. I have also the original videotape and it's much better than this.
