Three Days Grace - Live at the Palace
The "movie"
Filmed at the Palace in Auburn Hills, MI, the concert features the following songs:
1. Animal I Have Become
2. Pain
3. Just Like You
4. Let It Die
5. Wake Up
6. I Hate Everything About You
7. Rooster
8. Riot
9. Get out Alive
10. Never too Late
11. Scared
12. Gone Forever
13. Home
Interview sections are presented between each song. This is frustrating and an option to view the concert as a whole without interruption (via seamless branching) would have been really nice. Even without seamless branching, I would have preferred to have the interviews as extras rather than included in the main feature.
Video: AVC (if I remember properly)
Picture quality of the concert footage is pretty good with a clear "live" picture giving you a "like I was there" feel. Unexpectedly, the lighting is very bright for a concert (I suspect that the lights were put up specially to shoot this feature avoiding low light situations), this reduces a bit the "light show" part of the concert.
Some footage (backstage, etc) does not share the same picture quality as the concert, which might be due in part by low-light situations and perhaps some content coming from DV cameras.
Audio: PCM 5.1, DD 5.1
Audio quality for the concert footage is really good. The overall sound level during the track seems to be quite high. The sound is clear and representative of the source be not as polished as a studio recording (as expected). Like the video part, audio is not consistent between the interviews and the concert footage.
Summary
This blu-ray is a definitive buy for Three Days Grace fans. This concert could have a great way to introduce the band to new fans but the interview parts remove the fluidity of the concert and makes this feature less enjoyable.
