Great Concert DVD's

[Berrie]

Can anybody give me some tips on great concert DVD's?

I recently bought a very good home cinema system. And I really love to watch concert DVD's. I already loaned a couple DVD's from my father and sister, but I'm now looking to buy or rent a couple myself.

Criteria:

- The style of music isn't that important. I have a very wide taste. As long as the performance is great and there is something interesting to watch, it's okay for me.
- The recording (sound and image) must be perfect. Preferably with DTS surround.
- Widescreen not important
- DVD available in Europe

Thank you for your help

A music buff should know this one:

Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads. A concert movie.

Available in Europe.

Keep them coming

The Pulse tour by Pink Floyd?

I'm rather fond of Live in Berlin: The Wall by Roger Waters.

The Song Remains the Same by Led Zeppelin.

Alot of good Pink Floyd concert DVDs, like Pulse.

EDIT: Ahh, trooper beat me to that.

I have another little request. Most bands that have been suggested this far I know well, but if you suggest something more 'obscure', could you please give a little background?

Thanks!

Dream Theater - Score was fantastic. Also their Live Scenes from New York DVD is superb.

Metallica - S&M is also worth a watch

Slayer's Still Reigning DVD.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Live at the Quick.

Rush in Rio is a good one.

It has become cool to hate them around here lately, but Green Day's American Idiot tour was really really good. I saw that show twice thanks to a friend of the tour's manager and I bought the dvd of the show as soon as it came out. It's big, it's flashy, it's loud, it rocks.

I've seen so many great ones.

The Who--The Kids Are Alright
Various Artists--Listen Up: The lives of Quincy Jones
Radiohead--Meeting People is Easy
The Band (and friends) --The Last Waltz

and if you'll consider them.
This is Spinal Tap
Bird--A movie about Charlie Parker

Just whatever you do, stay away from The most recent Switchfoot DVD, it's the most pathetic concert I've ever seen (discouting the local scene)

I actually kinda like "This Disaster-Live in London" by New Found Glory...I assume it's in Europe considering it was filmed in London. May not be your thing though...

Radiohead--Meeting People is Easy

Not a concert DVD. Live at the Astoria is well done, though I don't much care for the music.

Bullet in a Bible- Green Day

Try the original Live Aid DVD, or the George Harrison Tribute.

 

[Azash]

Also, for amazing instrumental music, Steve Vai's Live at the Astoria London.

 

[Berrie]

Try the original Live Aid DVD.

Seen it. Very nice indeed.

Not really my kind of music, but I can recommend this: Zucchero & Co. at The Royal Albert Hall => great 5.1 DTS sound and overal very good performance by the guest artist (Solomon Burke, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti,...)
