I agree, the surround placement does not match the video. I like to listen 2 channel with a moderate amount of DSP fill in the rear. You may criticize the sound quality, but this is one of the better music DVD's I have heard. Sure does sound a million times better than the Two Against Nature CD ! The bass and overall impact on Babylon Sisters and Jack of Speed is IMHO, excellent (I use 2 Hsu TN1220HO on the low end crossed over at 40 hz ... they pump some very tight low end. Overall, though, there is a lack of emotional "lock" due to the processed feel of this DVD. Could have been "so outrageous", but I still enjoy it.
Comically, but very true, one the the overall best is Tommy James Live at the Bitter End. The audio quality, impact, and ambiance is excellent. TJ is very good, but his backup band is a bit animated. In particular, they got the surround mix right for that club. Even though the video production is home video like (the actual quality of the video is not bad), I really got into this DVD. Adds a "you are there" feeling to this unique performance. Give it a shot... if you are over 35 and know who Tommy James is, this may surprise you.
