Other than Prince, what are your favorite concert dvd's?

I love Santana's live from Mexico. Very hot.

I recently saw U2's Vertigo live from Chicago and was very impressed.

Stop Making Sense

Ben Harper (Can't think of the name)

This one is great to watch. Sound is great and I love the editing. Too bad Sioux's voice was in such bad shape.


Goldfrapp - Wonderful Electric
There are two concerts on this one. Goldfrapp sound amazing live.


Fields of the Nephilim - Revelations/Forever Remain/Visionary Heads
I like this one because you get a lot for your money--two concerts and all the Nephilim's videos.

I don't know how to put the cover art in this post, but..

1) Loggins and Messina..2005 tour..reunited after 30 years, they didn't miss a beat

2) Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter...altamont..keef rocking hard...

3) Police Synchronicity...at their peak

4) Rolling Stones..81..Mick in football pants..

5) Paul McCartney...toss up between back in the ussr dvd, or the Driving Rain tour...Sir Paul is just classic

The Cure "Trilogy". They played three of their best CDs on one evening in chronological order, Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers. Really great stuff.

LED ZEPPELIN DVD - so damn good

Live at The Rainbow - Bob Marley

Bob Marley- Legend

Peter Tosh- Captured Live

This was one I was going to mention as well. The sound and editing are about the best I've ever seen.

"The Cure In Orange" is pretty fabulous too.

Sign "O" the Times still rules my world.

I love the Cure Trilogy and have a live Tori VHS that is exceptional. And, the David Bowie Reality Tour I just watched is pretty darn great too!!!!

not necessarily all time favorites, but here are some that I've been enjoying a lot lately


Gil Scott Heron - Tales Of Gil

Earth Wind & Fire (early 80s, should be the same Slave2DaGroove listed)

Curtis Mayfield - Live at Ronnie Scotts

Trouble Funk - Live in Japan (OK, it's on VHS... does it also count?)

Anita Baker - One Night of Rapture



honorable mention Bonus DVD: Babyface - Unplugged

Michael Jackson - Live in Bucharest

George Michael - Unplugged

Sister Machine Gun - 6.5 Record Release Show

Did you make it through the whole thing? I think it's a stunner. I can't believe how well they captured the energy of that show.

The finest band ever to come out of Australia is the Go-Betweens, I reckon. That Striped Sunlight Sound catches them playing a 'greatest hits' set in front of a home town Brisbane crowd. Terrific songs played very well, and it looks and sounds fantastic as well, which is something of a surprise considering the budget for this thing must have been on a shoestring. Big plus - unlike 99% of the concert DVDs out there, shots are actually held for more than 2 seconds. I can't stand watching most concert DVDs due to the fact that every one of the bloody things seem to be cut at a rate that makes my head spin.




Wire on the Box has British art-punk heroes Wire playing a set for a German television show called Rockpalast in front of a bewildered-looking audience.

Seal - Live in Paris
Janet - The Velvet Rope
Michael Jackson - Live in Bucharest

PrettyMan72 said:

Great choice! I forgot this one! Add it to my list also!

And

Inxs - Live Baby Live

Pink Floyd - Pulse

Foo Fighters - Everywhere But Home

The Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Tell Me What Rockers To Swallow

Drowned World Tour baby. that's where it's at. a real film of a concert that takes you on a fuckin journey. you better bring out the popcorn for that shit.

The best concert DVD ive seen in terms of a film capturing the music
and atmosphere is Bruce Springsteens Live in Barcelona. Its a fantastic
atmosphere and a great great show, in comparison his NYC one, although
its a good show the audience r nowhere near as enthusiastic. Id recommend
Bruce Springsteen and the E street band Live In Barcelona

I would also recommend Queen live in Milton keynes bowl. Great show.
