I like to see more MTV Unplugged, including Paul McCartney, as well as Storytellers. Perhaps even some of the In Concert shows from ABC in the '70s.

i really like
Switchfoot Live in San Diego,
Lauyrn Hills M2 Unplugged,
Ben Harper Live at the Hollywood Bowl,
Brian Setzer Orch. Live in Japan,
Stray Cats Live,
Jason Mraz Live that came with the live cd,
Dashboard Confessional Unplugged,
and the Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins Video Collections are great with awesome extras and goodies, too bad Green Days was barebones I was really dissapointed.

and for laugh lets not forget This Is Spinal Tap even tho its not at all really a concert.

My favs:

The Wall Live in Berlin
The Cure Trilogy
Concert for George

I have Led Zeppelin 2 DVDs set which I enjoy, also have Judas Priest Electric Eye which I don't care for although i'm a fan, I wasn't impressed with the concert from Texas that is on there, loved the two early videos though of Rocka Rolla and Dreamer Deciever they were excellent and the only reason why I still have the DVD today. I would like to get Iron Maiden the early years and also the old California Jam of the late seventies which would be great and last but not least something from Deep Purple from the 70's-80's

i really liked the pearl jam live from msg concert more from a technical aspect then anything. its the one concert dvd thats not cutting every other second to make people nausious, so we actually get to the full guitar solos without all of the fast cutting that i can't stand

I'll second that one!

Also:

Dream Theater - Live At Budokan
Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio
Angra - Live in Sao Paulo
Rush in Rio

Haven't watched it in a while, but I remember it being good. Also great is the video collection that comes on the Manson Greatest Hits 2disc. It's missing a couple of videos ( (s)Aint being one of them), but other than that, it was an awesome disc.

mine are mostly hip-hop oriented....

50 Cent: The New Breed
Atmosphere: Sad Clown Bad Dub 4
Def Jux Presents: Revenge of the Robots Tour
Dispatch: Under the Radar
Eminem All Access Europe
I am Trying to Break your Heart - Wilco (disc 2 has some great performances)
Jay-Z/Linkin Park: Collision Course
Jay-Z: Steets is Watching
Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers
Michael Jackson: Number Ones
Scratch (not really a concert, but still has some ridiculous DJ performances)
Tiesto in Concert

and my favorite..... The Up in Smoke Tour..... also waiting anxiously for the Jay-Z: Fade to Black concert/movie...

In my opinion music videos and concerts are kind of an unknown treasure trove to the masses.....there are SO many INCREDIBLE shows by hundreds of great artists and bands on DVD, and with a good home theater it's the closest thing one could get to being at a show....only you don't have to spend $50 (and much more) to be in the audience- hours of entertainment for great prices.....hopefully the Live Aid box set opened up some eyes to buying concerts on DVD. Tons of titles already in this thread I would have mentioned; some of them I need to check out :). Sorry if I add anything that's already been listed.

HBO without a doubt has some wonderful concert material in their archives that I've seen in the last 25 years that need to find a release on DVD.

Absolute must-haves for old geezers (like myself):

Abba - The Definitive Collection
Bee Gees - Live! One for All (EXTREMELY difficult to find)
Bee Gees - One Night Only
Bee Gees - Live by Request
Fleetwood Mac - The Dance
Carol King - In Concert (as others have mentioned)
Gordon Lightfoot - Live in Reno

Foo Fighters- Everywhere but home

Slayer- Still Reigning

Iron Maiden: Early Years

Incubus: Morning View Sessions, Alive at Red Rocks

NIN: All that could have been

Alison Krauss: Live

Led Zeppelin: Live


I can't wait for Iron Maiden's LIVE AFTER DEATH!!!!!!!!
I think it's supposed to be part of the next "Early Years" part II release.

Some of my favorites are:

ELO-Zoom; The best from the master of melody.

John Fogerty-Premonition; If this one does not get your air guitar moving your heart may have stopped.

Queen-We Will Rock You (later version in dts); Very clean sound and crisp picture.

DooWop 5-PBS concert of original hit makers; To see some of these guys perform those hits live and sounding just as good or better than they did in the 50's is wonderful.

Cheap Trick-Live in Australia; Not great but only Cheap Trick concert on DVD that I know of.

Paul Simon-Your the One; Perfection, great percussion, great tunes, great guitar work, Paul still sounds good after all these years.

Down from the Mountain; Must have dvd, great performances, great artist, a look at the birth of many forms of music.

The Monkees-Live Summer Tour; I saw them live on this tour and although this dvd is not the best it does have a concert feel to it.

Fleetwood Mac-The Dance; To see Nicks and company play out years of realationships on stage is revealing and intimate.

Eagles-Hell Freezes Over; What a band, still!

The Moody Blues-Hall of Fame; One of the better Moody Blues concerts.

Carol King-Concert; Neat concert and fun to watch her and Slash work it out.

Roy Orbison-Black and White Night; Memories from the master.

Backstage Pass-Concert Collection Vol 1; Some keepers by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimme Vaughan, and many more.

My favorite concert DVDs:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live at Slane Castle
Oasis - There and Then
Oasis: Familiar To Millions - Live At Wembley
Pearl Jam - Touring Band 2000
Rage Against The Machine - The Battle of Mexico City
Mötley Crüe - Lewd, Crued, and Tattooed

The only concert DVD I have is Luis Miguel: Vivo.

In regards to music videos, I have Thalia. I'm thinking in purchasing the Shakira: Unplugged DVD.

I would recommend it. My only complaints are that the picture was full screen and the songs are basically live audio edited in with different video shots from different cities.

almost forgot to mention live aid! a must have and probably the most important and significant concert ever. some really great and heartfelt performances in there by a vast array of performers.

my favs
-Dave Matthews Band: Central Park
-Charlie Hunter: Right Now Live

Great list people...

If you could, please list your dvds in this format and I will try to compile a list...

Last name, first name - dvd title

Thanks...

UGH!!!

We're on page 2, and the virtually undisputed greatest concert DVD ever shot has not been mentioned.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Directed by Jonathan Demme...yeah, the Silence of the Lambs guy. Talking heads aren't even one of my favorite bands, but this concert was simply brilliant.

The sad thing is, the Bee Gees don't play 'Emotion' on any of those performances.

There are 3 other CT concert dvd's that are out there -

Silver - Recorded in 1999 in Rockford, ILL for their 25th Anniversary. IMHO their best one because it features 29 songs spanning their career, as well as special guests (Slash, Billy Corgan, Art from Everclear).

Music for Hangovers - Recorded in 1998; 14 songs during their 4-night "album show" stand at the Metro in Chicago. It's not bad, and the commentary is funny because they seem to be stoned.

From Tokyo To You - Recorded in Japan in 2003. Okay, but it doesn't feature the full songs - just clips, mixed in with mock interviews.

And in keeping with the thread, my favorite concert dvd's (well - besides listed above) are -

Weird AL Live
No Doubt - Rock Steady
The Who from Royal Albert Hall
Ringo's All Star Band 2003
U2 - Elevation
REM - Road Movie

I love my Monterey Pop: Criterion set. :)

Dream Theater - Metropolis 2000 is fantastic, aside from the annoying Winamp-style effects. I love the commentary, though. "And now [John's] in nineteen sixtyfour" "he's not talking about the year..."*

Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been DTS is also a fantastic set, though they should have filmed it in 16x9. Oh well. Next time.

Rush - Rush in Rio is probably the best concert DVD I own, even though it's non-anamorphic (which is a big negative). This (with NIN as a close second) is the loudest DVD I've heard as well. I have to turn the volume down by about 10db just to have it at a level that sounds slightly higher than what I normally watch DVDs at.
