Guy,
I agree with your comments - I have a number of 5.1 recordings and they
really do add to the ambience of the event.
There are quite a few DVD's of live recordings with a true 5.1 soundtrack -
a good one is Eric Clapton's 'Unplugged' or 'The Three Tenors - Live in
Paris' - the sound stage is great and the audience/venue ambience from the
rear channels is excellent.
There are also a number of CD's encoded in 'DTS' - you need a DTS decoder
to listen to them.
I have a Bonny Raitt double CD (DTS) of a live concert and it sounds as
though you are right there on the front row of the concert...
OTOH, there are some DVD's & DTS CD's of concerts where the various sounds
of the band are 'routed' to the rear channels.
IMHO, these recordings are a bit gimmicky, not what you would hear at a
live venue (unless it was a Pink Floyd concert or similar), but enjoyable
non the less.
