Bela Fleck and the Fleshtones, Live at the Quick. Tower Records
What concert or music DVD's are worth having?
My brother and his wife (how own a copy of every DVD ever made) make fun of me because the only DVD's I have are music videos or concert footage.
I have:
Alice Cooper 'Welcome to my Nightmare' which is not very good.
Jethro Tull 'Living with the Past' worth owning!
Midge Ure I forget the name, but it's pretty good
Queen, very dated
I think there are more but I'm not sure. What concert DVD's do you have that are worth owning?

Morcheeba: Brixton to Beijing http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009L844/qid=1097347506/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-4265972-1280116?v=glance&s=dvd The fidelity is among the best DVD I ever heard. Skyes' voice is recorded extremely well and is very close to the audio CD. This DVD includes coverage of the band's live performances in Brixton and later in China. The DVD is interspersed with actual music videos, a couple duplicating what you've just seen performed live in the same DVD. It will make you a fan. |
I just started collecting this year after setting up my first home theater. Here's the concerts I have and like. Obviously it's gonna depend as much on your taste in music and bands, but the shows in the "best" group are all excellent. I have a couple of DVDs that the shows or the recording just are too poor to even recommend Best: Concert for George (this is an unbelievable concert) Allison Krauss & Union Station Live Peter Gabriel - Growing Up Live Cowboy Junkies - Open Road (this is only Stereo/Pro-logic) Neil Young at Red Rocks Metallica S&M above are sort of in order preference - but all great Also good: Steve Hackett: Somewhere in South America King Crimson - Eyes Wide Open Procol Harem Live |
For Reference - Stop Making Sense is the standard for all concert videos. Steely Dan - Two Against Nature - check out Donald Fagan's canine's. Roger Water - In the Flesh - good Pink Floyd production. Eagles - Hell Freezes Over - cheesy music but great A/V production Band - The Last Waltz - a classic For Fun - Rolling Stones - At the Max - the original IMAX movie Rolling Stones - 4 Flixs - 3 venues of their concerts Led Zeppelin (3 disc Set) -a classic Sheryl Crow - Rocking the Globe Live |
Grateful Dead-View from the vault series Nine Inch Nails-All That Could Have Been Steely Dan-2 Against Nature James Taylor-Live at the Beacon Theater Roger Waters-In The Flesh and many others...I like you have more concert/music videos than movies...a lot time I just cue them up and then turn off the t.v. just so it can sound even better.

Talking Heads STOP MAKING SENSE. Directed by Jonathan Demme, the sound, lighting, staging changes, costuming, and flow of this concert movie are all outstanding. I have this on Laser Disc, but I have been told that there is a DVD version that is also great. I would also recommend the Talking Heads compilation of videos called "Story Telling Giants", but I don't know if this one is available on DVD. |
