This is a live DVD-V in 6.1 DTS-ES.
Typical live mixing with ambience in the rears (I assume the 7th channel is incorporated into the rears, as I only play up to 5.1 on my systems?)
But if you haven't seen this film, seek it out, really special IMO.
The performance by Joan Osborne of "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" is a show stopper that will melt you!

Here's the wiki on 6.1 DTS-ES:
DTS-ES Discrete provides 6.1 discrete channels, with a discretely recorded (non-matrixed) center-surround channel; in home theater systems with a 7.1 configuration, the two rear-center speakers play in mono. To maintain compatibility with DTS decoders which do not support DTS-ES, the center-surround channel is also matrixed into the left and right surround channels, so that the rear center channel's sound is still present when played in 5.1 on a non-ES system; an ES decoder removes the matrixed audio from these two channels when playing back DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks. DTS-ES Discrete is sometimes notated as DTS-ES 6.1. Only a few DVD titles have been released with DTS-ES Discrete.
