Technically there is extremely little to complain about with this solid Blu-ray presentation. The 1080i high definition video, while not stunning, is very strong. The blessedly simple videography is sharp and well lit. There is a bit of visual noise from time to time during darker shots, but nothing that really detracts from the overall look.
Audio choices include DTS HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital 5.1, and LPCM stereo. You can't go wrong with any of these tracks, but most highly recommended is the DTS. Crank it up and close your eyes - you'll practically feel like you're at the concert. It's truly representative of a live performance. I sampled the Dolby track and found it to be lacking a bit of punch in the vocal department. For those without a surround sound system, the LPCM stereo track is still quite impressive, with a clear and full sound.
The Black Crowes rarely seem to get the respect they've earned over the years. For those who doubt they are a great classic rock band, Warpaint Live should be all the evidence needed to convince them otherwise.
