Here are my 2 cents on the Blu Ray - I got it yesterday and watched it once.
For me, this is the best live DVD/Blue Ray/VHS we got from DT. Even though Score is something very special, this one is better for be because of the - for me - weaker first set on score. Yes I adore Budokan as well... but this... for me it is better!
Someone above posted that the orchestra is too quiet. I fully disagree. For me it is just perfect.
The drumsound is the best drumsound we had on a live release!
Even though I saw the show twice - seeing the drumming here makes me appreciate MM even more - the are so many subtle things going on, incredible!
For me JBL is sounding great. If there is pitch correction, it barely noticeable.
The cutting, the videos, everything is perfect...
... and then you come to the point when Illumination Theory starts....
I nearly shed a tear. THAT CHOIR!!!!!!!!!!!
All the songs with the orchestra and the choir lift the respective songs to a new level. IT and Finally Free are the highlights, but also Overture 1928 with the choir parts is simply amazing.
There are two thing which could have been better: Use the choir and the orchestra for the whole concert.
Second: Yes you can hear the audience. But from time to time when you HEAR the audience you really ask yourself - is that the audience I SEE??? They are cheering really loud - but visually nearly nothing is happening.
Besides this: Perfect Release.
