Just recently got and played a 2nd BeeGees Blu-ray, "One for All Tour", Live in Australia 1989. This edition has been re mixed and re mastered.The recording I already had was "One Night Only" from 1997.
The remastered "One for All Tour" makes better use of surround, but both are good . "One Night Only" doesn't make much use of the center channel, but the Ref's sound stage is so big and wide with spot on center fill, that the only way I can tell the voices are coming exclusively from the fronts is to walk right up to the center.... it's not playing. But sit at the PLP, and it sounds like a gorgeous center channel just HAS to be playing!
SQ is good on both, probably 4-4.5/5. PQ is good, not exceptional.
Robin had a full head of hair in the 1989 recording.
For any BeeGees fans, either Blu-ray is worth having. Surround sure brings the concert home. Beats any CD versions I've heard.
Recommended.

Edit: I just played a number of the songs from "One for All Tour" at closer to concert SL's. First listen was at upper's 70's db's where I often listen. Wow. At 90+ db's dynamics blossomed, bass slam got amazing. Wayne and Anthem, my apologies. You keep reminding us that the GEt's LOVE playing loud. Well, at 90 ish db's.this Blu-ray rocks! Highly recommended to get you to the concert!
