This disc gives you 22 live classics from Vegas, with Count Basie and his orchestra as the backing.
There is a 24/96 MLP Surround track, an MLP Stereo one and a Dolby Digital 5.1 - no Dolby Stereo.
It's been remixed from the 4 track masters in 24/192 resolution, and has been exceptionally well done - Craig Anderton did the honours for the DVD Authoring and the way Frank's voice is all around you, yet the orchestra is a lot more subtle, makes you feel as if you are truly in the room as it happens. When you remember it was all from a 4 track, you cannot help but be impressed.
The audio is pristine, it really is. I have had a DTS version of this for a while, but the DVD-A blows the DTS version clean out of the water. I can only assume the DTS is a reconstituted version from the Dolby, as there is no DTS version on this disc. Hence the 9 instead of a perfect 10.
These days, there is just no excuse for not having both alternatives included.
If you like this sort of thing - go buy this disc.
You may have a bit of a wait though, as it seems to be almost permanently OOS at Play.com - I had to wait 2 months before mine arrived.
