The problem is, especially with 5-channel DVD-A's recorded "live," is two-fold:1) Different camera angles that show, for example, the guitarist on the left, then on the right, then in the middle, while the sound mix doesn't change. Very disconcerting.
2) Sounds not coming from where they're supposed to. For example, on the Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over," the percussionist is to the far left and behind the band. However, on the soundtrack, the sounds he is making emanate from the rear left speaker. Again, quite disconcerting.
When you go to a symphony or concert, the orchesta/symphony/band is right in front of you. The only other sounds you'll hear are either echoes (indoor venue) or crowd noise etc. Otherwise, everything else should come from the front -- which is why two-channel is still superior.
