Touring Band 2000 -- Pearl Jam

The Video quality is not all that great...but the sound...

Play it Loud!

I recently bought Queen: We Will Rock you DTS and The Corrs: Live in London with DTS option too and they're both great discs.
Also have Journey: 2001 which is surprisingly good even though it's no longer Perry on the mic. And I also have Bon Jovi:the Crush tour. That one's awesome too.

Discussion on concert DVDs belongs in Music Talk. You might want to do a search in there, because this thread sounds familiar.

Moving thread.

I'll second Nine Inch Nails...and All that Could Have Been. The sound is just incredible. Others to look at:

Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense - one of the best rock movies ever made and a great DVD edition

The Last Waltz - Sounds and looks incredible for a low-budget 70s film

Widespread Panic: Live at Oak Mountain - The 5.1 is just great on this one. I've seen them live a bunch of times, and they sound nearly as good in my living room.

Uh... the Eagles? Anyway, Last Waltz is the obvious choice. Just got it as a gift although I haven't watched it yet. I have seen the film. Excellent, even though I'm indifferent about The Band. But what do you expect? It's Scorsese

I second that one. His "Austin City Limits" performance is noteworthy as well.

I also just picked up B.B. King - Sweet 16 (Live in Africa 1974). That was one killer show as well.

The Band (and lotsa other artists) - "The Last Waltz"
The Who - "Maximum R & B Live" (if you can find it) and "Live at the Isle of Wight"
And Bjork has a few concert DVD's, I'd recommend "Live at Cambridge".

Couldn't agree more! Pearl Jam's Touring Band 2000 also gets a nod.

I'll second Stop Making Sense, possibly the best concert movie ever made.

The Last Waltz is also quite excellent.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about DVD's, but I do know about these films...

The Paris Concert for Amnesty International
It has DTS
Performers include:
Robert Plant & Jimmy Page
Peter Gabriel
Bruce Springsteen
Radiohead (who do an insane Paranoid Android)
and more

A review of the disc:

I agree with the review all the way, except that it doesn't mention the DTS track at all. I don't know why, as my copy has one - and it rocks.
