Billy Joel: Live at Shea Stadium(2008)
To mark the closing of New York's historic Shea Stadium in 2008, Billy Joel drafted an all-star musical team, including Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, John Mayer and Garth Brooks, for a last play at Shea. This hits-packed feature is a grand slam! For more about Billy Joel: Live at Shea Stadium and the Billy Joel: Live at Shea Stadium Blu-ray release, see Billy Joel: Live at Shea Stadium Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on March 10, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Director: Jon Small Starring: Billy Joel Producers: Jon Small, Steve Cohen, Cara Costentino » See full cast & crew Billy Joel: Live at Shea Stadium Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Billy Joel Live at Shea Stadium looks absolutely fantastic on Blu-ray courtesy of an AVC encoded 1080i image in 1.78:1. This is one of the clearest and sharpest looking concert Blu-rays in recent memory and once again proves that Sony does these live concert Blu's like no other label. Colors are bright and bold and fine detail is often amazing. Close-ups of Joel reveal copious perspiration as well as what looks like a recent "ding" to his head with its attendant scab. Camera coverage on this concert is stupendous. We get multiple angles, including what must have been helicopter or blimp shots over the entire stadium, and the sharpness and clarity of the image is really amazing. There are one or two very brief moments of aliasing on the huge projections which back Joel and his band, but otherwise this is a spotless video presentation. Billy Joel: Live at Shea Stadium Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Three audio options are offered on this Blu-ray, and two of them are stupendously robust. The lossless LPCM 2.0 and 5.1 tracks (both 48kHz/24-bit) are brilliantly alive and incredibly dynamic, sporting wonderful, near reference quality audio and extremely faithful fidelity. The one bad apple in this trifecta is the alarmingly bad standard Dolby Digital 5.1 mix, which strangely is the second option in the audio menu. In fact, I wonder if our user review mistakenly chose the DD 5.1 track by mistake, because it is woefully inadequate and not just in the lower frequencies. The two uncompressed tracks are both fully robust throughout all frequencies. The 5.1 track is beautifully positioned around the surrounds, with the piano sounding clear and precise. The band sounds absolutely fantastic and the balance is very artfully handled. Though this concert was played before mammoth sized crowds, very little obtrusive audience noise penetrates the performances themselves. Note: After the two unhappy user reviews, I have gone back and rechecked my disc's two uncompressed audio options and I again do not hear any major differences. The bass and low end are certainly more diffused on the 5.1 track, but there is abundant low end, at least on the disc I got.
