5.1 has been a revelation, I only wish I joined the team years ago. Guess I will change my avatar to reflect my plans for the winter

Mr. Wilson you are a genius. A work of art....

Electronic space rock? It's a great mix. Try it....

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.

Damn straight, Pupster. A fantastic homage to an incredible group of musicians. James Jamerson - I mean DAYUM! And Joan’s performance of Brokenhearted still blows my mind 15 years later!

the Deluxe Edition 2CD set of this one has some amazing isolated elements from the mastertapes.

also, might be worth mentioning just in case, do you have all the Motown Greatest Performances DVDs already?

Did not know about this. How is the surround on this?

 

[Beefalo]

Wow. I forgot about this one. Discrete, immersive & affordable. I've got a single dipole in the middle for rear surround so this DTS-ES is perfect.
