Better off not being seen

I enjoy music DVD's and if they're well recorded, find them the most realistic form of music reproduction. That being said, I recently come across some dreadful DVD's that might be enough to sway anyone off the concept if they were the first ones they saw. My take -

Diana Krall - Live in Paris - my first exposure to her. Assumedly my last. I trust the CD's are better, or else I don't understand the attraction.

Eagles - Farewell Tour. As good as the first DVD was, this one should be called "Once more without any effort". Yes the production is excellent, but the performance is like sleepwalking, and Joe Walsh unfortunately makes a complete buffoon of himself, with Don Henley as smarmy as ever. Yuck. For absolute diehard fans ONLY.

Fleetwood Mac - The Dance - Great production, but Stevie Nicks and her one-octave, fingernails-on-the-blackboard voice makes the off button the only safe place on the remote. The quicker the better.

Any other DVD's to avoid like the plague before I invest $25?

Did anyone ever catch a clip of Grace Slick's last performance that caused The Jefferson Airplane to break up?

It was in Germany, where she baited the audience about being Nazis, and spewed other nasty assorted insults. She was so stinking drunk that she could barely stand, and her "singing" sounded like alley cats fighting...no wait...that's an insult to alley cats. The concert ended prematurely, after a riot nearly ensued.

Dreadhead, I saw it on one of the many "History of Rock & Roll" specials. I don't know if the footage has ever been released commercially. When I say bad, I mean Sid Vicious in his post Sex Pistols hitting bottom bad...except that she was WORSE on this night!
