5.0 out of 5 stars Essential on Blu-Ray, October 29, 2008

This review is from: Jewel: The Essential Live Songbook [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

If you have a blu-ray player and a surround sound system this is a must buy. These discs will be what you use to show off the quality of your system.
Included are two full concerts (on two discs), 8 songs with a live chamber orchestra and a few extra performances exclusive to the blu-ray version. The video is a flawless 1080p and the audio is lossless DTS-HD master 5.1. The difference between the blu-ray and the DVD is beyond comparison. Much like the Planet Earth series, you really have to see (and hear) it to believe it.
For Jewel fans, there is no reason not to buy this. Although the price is a bit steep (in line with most blu-rays), this one is worth every cent. You are essentially buying two full concerts and the all around quality is beyond anything you'd expect. Even if you don't like Jewel, but can appreciate well written and performed, quality music, you might want to check this one out, because the high standard of this presentation might make a fan out of you. The few songs with the orchestra are worth it alone.
It really is quite strange that this release didn't get more promotion or hype, because it really is one of the best video concerts available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, January 2, 2009

This is a must have item for any Jewel fan. The video quality and sound quality is amazing. The direction of the video is extremely well put together with great angles, closeups, and fade in's/out's. It gives you the feeling that this collection wasn't casually put together and great care was taken with it.

The blu-ray extra concert footage is a nice treat as I've always wanted to see what Red Rocks is like in concert.

You simply can't go wrong with this purchase and if you like Jewel's music and have never had the pleasure to see her live, this is your window to that experience.

This blu-ray is best of all my music dvd collections. I rate it better than Dave Matthews and Incubus. Not only for the sound quality but for the HD picture and video production. Also you get two disks, and lots of extras.
