and just hoping it might help someone give me advice regarding a good TD dvd. It'd be cool, imho, although I wouldn't quite expect it, if one of the concert dvds demonstrated the band going through several different styles (a bit like ye olde td live, up to 83 or whatever), with upbeat sections, experimental/improv sections, and more orchestral settings, more so than a kind of "one tempo, one vibe" sound..Which concert DVD would you recommend?

Which concert DVD would you recommend?
Of late, I've been searching quite a bit for interesting later TD releases (I have all their ones up to 1988). Some, like Quinoa, Mars Polaris, Jeanne d'Arc & Angel from the West Window, are really good albums, imho. I'm glad I got them. Others, like Views from a Red Train or the Hiroshima series, do not sound good to me from what I've heard, although I have not heard the complete albums. I got one Booster album (no.3) but I was very disappointed in it, while the Tang-Go and Electronic Journey compilations I also find quite disappointing. Which makes me think that one of the concert dvds, with 3 hours of their recent music, might make a better purchase: maybe this style of TD is more entertaining to watch than to listen to? (although I'm definitely a cd listener rather than video fan). I'm wondering which of the concert dvds since 2006 would interest me most? One thing I'd say is that while I don't mind the TD electronic drum-kit heavy style of recent years, I'm not a fan of the sort of metal guitar thing they've done, it seems, in concerts since the 1992 US tour. That's not due to an aversion to guitar (I have hundreds of guitar music albums, just not in that pop-metal style) but because I find, in a TD context, it makes the music sound more like run-of-the-mill, post r'n'b, American rock'n'roll (for want of a better term), and I find that boring. Well, I've probably said too much: just firing out some general comments about "my taste in TD" and just hoping it might help someone give me advice regarding a good TD dvd. It'd be cool, imho, although I wouldn't quite expect it, if one of the concert dvds demonstrated the band going through several different styles (a bit like ye olde td live, up to 83 or whatever), with upbeat sections, experimental/improv sections, and more orchestral settings, more so than a kind of "one tempo, one vibe" sound..

aren't all the many other dvd's much in the same vein..??? I loved the Lisbon dvd and didn't find it at all boring..
