The picture quality of the early live videos is not very good, but is to be expected. They slowly improve in quality as the year gets higher. The 5.1 sound is ok. While it definitely sounds better than a cd, this is not Steely Dan or the Eagles. The rears are mostly just a faint echo of the bass drum for most songs that's barely audible unless you crank the rears. A few songs from Tunnel Of Love had some instruments echoed in the rear, but again not really that much. So it's not really great 5.1 sound, but still way better than this music has ever sounded. At 2:45 running time, it's definitely worth it to any fans of the Boss. I really liked the live Thunder Road & The River.
