After the VH-1 "Storytellers" edition featuring Steely Dan, I honestly didn't have too high hopes for this DVD.  "Storytellers" left me wanting for better sound (of course...TV, what could one  expect? ), and quite frankly, something that didn't smack of simply  "PR" for the new disc.  This disc, however, laid all fears to  rest.  From the opening moments of "Green Earrings", I knew this  one was a true winner.  This disc features "bang-on" performances  from the entire ensemble...no slackers in this crew.  Where do they find  these guys, anyway?  Is there some top-secret underground facility that  cultivates and raises top-notch session musicians for Becker and Fagan's  private stock?  Hmmm..... Sound-wise, there are three choices of mix: Dolby  Digital 5.1, which seems to be the most balanced; DTS 5.1, which features  far better separation of channels, but typical "overdone" bass;  and 2- channel PCM Dolby Stereo.  The folks at Digital Theatre Systems  (DTS) seem hell-bent on demonstrating the extended headroom DTS is touted  to offer over Dolby Digital by trying to blast viewers out of the room with  bottom end.  While it works wonders for movies such as "Saving Private  Ryan", it really is overkill here.  The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is  well-balanced, and just about as good as it can get for a live performance.  Highly recommended for Dan Fans!
