Live on the Queen Mary

This is a very well done Blu-Ray concert. Audio and mixing are spot on and it sounds fantastic. Picture quality is also very good. I've only listened to this album through my 2ch system VIA my Oppo 103 to my Musical Fidelity M1 SDAC so I can't comment on any multichannel playback. It does list DTS-HD Master as an audio option but it does list if it's 2ch or Multi.As with most acts, I prefer live albums to a studio release. More energy and a raw beauty to the music that is MENT to be there, not a polished and sometimes flat recording that you all to often get from too much time in the studio.You can clearly see and feel that Hugh and his copper bottom band have a great time playing live and entertaining a crowd. This recording does a great job highlighting each band member and lets all of them show off here and there. Gabby Moreno has been a very welcome addition to the line up and she adds a sultry layer to the band that works great with Jean McClain's power house vocals.This recording shows how Hugh has grown in terms of his vocals and how he just as much as anyone in the audience, loves to sit back and watch his band show their stuff and just enjoy the music.If you're looking for something that you can sit down and be glued to your system while you critically listen this is a great album. If you're looking for something that you can turn on and enjoy while you get stuff done around the house or as background music for any reason, this is still a great album. You would have to me a pretty close minded individual to not be able to enjoy this in my opinion.

I am so glad I bought this!The Disc: New condition & played well. Just your normal disc.The Content:Wow! After watching all eight seasons of House and then going directly to this. . . just a huge smile! Hugh doesn't sing your typical songs, and he does quite well with the bluesy music. He plays the piano. He dances a bit. He can't stop smiling and the joy he's feeling exudes not only across the live audience, but to the viewer of the disc! The ensemble band look like they are having a great time and bring such an authentic sound to the music. Seriously made me want to start dancing, too (and I don't dance). The ladies who sing are a lovely treat to the ears.My husband actually started watching this with me, and he isn't normally "into" my music videos, but he said he rather enjoyed it.There's an included interview with Hugh Laurie, that's very. . . "high brow" to my mind, but he is just so much fun to watch, and still slips jokes into the interview with his impeccable comedic timing. I was very glad to have this feature available to watch.If you're looking for something different from what plays endlessly on the radio, this is it! A nice variety of bluesy/jazz songs, and Hugh sings with an unexpected voice (a little nasally for my tastes, but it's Hugh Laurie, so I'll take it!) that lets you "feel" what he is singing.

I loved it more then I thought I would. Very talented man . Not for everyone but what is, I could watch that DVD over and over and never get bored, I think its very good and I highly recommend it.

Great blues video. The cover photo shows one man but this video is about a band with a leader and has all the appearance and sound of an experienced, polished band. Laurie is the band leader and also a band member here and has definitely grown from his earlier music releases. His audience performance is more polished and professional, as you would expect from a band playing on the Queen Mary. Several band members, including Laurie, change instruments from time to time and show their varied skills. The vocals are shared and all first class. You will want the CD of this! Many songs you might not recognize but all are well done with true deep blues feeling. All the arrangements are uniquely done in a pleasing way emphasizing the musicians' skills and instruments. I enjoyed my evening with this video and look forward to more in the future.

exelentes temas, calidad de video exelente, el sonido un poco bajo pero dando un poco mas de volumen se disfruta

This is a very good concert for those who did not have the opportunity to watch him (and his great band) play live! He creates an energy and a synergy with the crowd that was not captured well in the DVD and/or Blu-ray! Maybe the Queenmary was not the best place for the concert, don't know! So, if you have the opportunity to see him playing live, I can guarantee you will have much more fun! Otherwise buy this fantastic concert and imagine yourself right in the middle of the crowd!!

I loved this music. I'm a fan of the man because of his TV show, then I found him in movies & now he sings & plays music! I have added another CD of his to my collection. This rave coming from a fan of bands like 5 Finger Death Punch! Variety is the spice of life!

I am a fan of Hugh Laurie... I noticed in someone's review, they said that he seemed smug / smiled as if he were showing off, etc... I do not believe this to be true... When you are playing music / jamming with friends and making great music, smiles and good times happen... Track 2 is my Favorite... It was a good show / concert for me...

Absolutely amazing live performance with a great selection of tracks.Both the video and audio is good. I really enjoyed the extra interview with Hugh Laurie.I definitely recommend this!.Product was shipped all the way to South Africa with absolutely no problems. Packaging was good and was shipped to my door and arrive like a week+ before estimated arrival.

Perfect Present for a Blues Lover

Brilliant DVD by a brilliant performer. I was lucky enough to see Hugh Laurie play live at Cheltenham a while ago, and met him afterwards. The DVD, and his CDs are a great pleasure.

Liked the disc.

I had heard a few tracks from Hugh Laurie and not impressed enough to purchase CDs. This blu ray is something else. If you enjoy good music - no matter the genre - buy it.
