My problems were with disc 2 only, and it would not even get to the menu. Haven't had time to try the replacement disc yet.

I have that concert here on regular DVD and also on VHS....

This concert has been issued many times and this isn't the first Blu Ray release. It was available on LaserDisc too.

I didn't think Laserdisc came in more than one size, they're the same size as an LP. For a long time a laserdisc rip of this concert was the best that was available. When the DVD came out I felt it looked and sounded (due to full rate DTS 5.1) better, but other disagreed especially if they only had a stereo sound system. It was only when the first Blu Ray came out that people finally stopped claiming the Laserdisc rip was the best copy.

They did. Same format made for music videos and such. EP sized.

EP sized? I have 2 vinyl EPs, one is the same size as a 45rpm single but runs at 33rpm so has two tracks on each size. The other is 12" and runs at 45rpm, also has two tracks on each side. So is EP sized one of those two, or something else? The same size as a 45rpm single seems too small to be useful for laserdisc and my other EP is 12" anyway.

That is what it was called. Not because of the size compared to a vinyl album, but its function.

RCA made a unit that took discs that were a vinyl record and were enclosed in a sleeve which had to be inserted into the machine and then the jacket would eject leaving the vinyl disc inside..the unit used an optical needle and it played just like a regular LP.....the needles were expense to get and apparently wore out faster than a regular turntable stylus....the laser disc I have here is 12 in....there for awhile back in the early 2000's you could rent all kinds of movies and concerts on this format...I remember watching Live at Donnington with AC/DC in concert.....there are two sides to the disc same as an LP.......I still have the disc and the player...o=it is a Pioneer brand....will dig it out and get the model number for you and post it here......
