 Do not buy this DVD!!!Nov 24, 2006

One star for Miles? One star for his music? NO WAY! One star is solely for Immortal for issuing the same concert of Miles Davis, recorded in Munich 1988, three years after it was issued by Pioneer (Miles Davis, Live in Munich, Pioneer PA-11853, 2002, 2-DVD pack). It will be no problem if Immortal DVD was a little better than the Pioneer DVD. But unfortunately it was not the case. Far from that. Immortal DVD is even shorter (100 minutes compared to 132 minutes on Pioneer DVD). The tracks that are missing are: The Senate, Me & U, Wrinkle and Time After Time. The picture is also much better on Pioneer DVD. The dark parts of the picture on Immortal DVD are greenish and too bright. Both DVDs have Dolby Digital stereo and 5.1 surround audio tracks but again the audio of Pioneer DVD is better mastered. Extras? Immortal DVD has none. Pioneer has The Art of Miles Davis, Biographical Timeline, Liner Notes by Adam Holzman and Rare Interview with Miles Davis (32 minutes on second DVD).
Recommendations? Do not buy this DVD even if you are a hard core Miles fan like me; browse Amazon for the Pioneer DVD.

 There was only one Miles.Mar 11, 2007
By W. C. Lees
It's hard to tell what Miles was searching for but fascinating to watch and listen. Close your eyes and you only get half the performance. That would be enough to be sure. Even better when you get to watch the interaction between this iteration of the band and the man with the horn. How many graduates of the University of Miles have there been? More than a few and in this performance and others I've seen they seem to be almost nervous about getting it right. They get it right for us but do they get it right for Miles? I don't think anyone really knew what was going on in his head. It wasn't hard to understand why he quit performing all those years but rather why he started again that is the mystery. Was it fun for him? Did he do it for the musicians? Surely he didn't do it for the public. Whatever the reason, we are lucky indeed. I'd give this DVD a 5 if the video quality had been better but it's a 4 I wouldn't want to be without.
