As David says below, the advanced audio codecs on Blu-ray may very well change the way you think about multi-channel concerts. All channels are lossless (either 5.1 PCM, DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD) and contain more detail than the lossy codecs on DVD. Because of the high transfer rate capability and space on Blu-ray, 5.1 channels of 24/96 PCM can be had along with 1920x1080 resolution for the video (check out Chris Botti's concert BD).

If multi-channel music is not your thing (it's not mine), there's often a stereo PCM track to accompany the 5.1 track. And even on the BDs that don't include a stereo PCM track, the 5.1 track can be down-mixed to stereo and still deliver an audio presentation that beats the audio on nearly every concert DVD.
