"Stop Making Sense", great call Giles. That should be number one on everyone's list. It's still the best filmed concert I've ever seen.

Maybe not "must haves", but I find the following rent worthy at a minimum:

The Pretenders "Loose in L.A."
Best of Bowie
Depeche Mode "101" and "Live in Milan" ("Devotional" for the cinematography)
The Cure "Trilogy"
NIN "And All That Could Have Been"

U2: ZOO TV, LIVE FROM SYDNEY

Prince: SIGN "O" THE TIMES (only available in Canada, but it is an official release)

Giles, you left out the Manic Street Preachers - Leaving The 20th Century - Cardiff Millennium Stadium 1999/2000.

I own the following. I'd recommend any of them to someone who's a fan of the specific artist and the bolded ones to any one that's just a big music fan in general, i.e. the ones I consider 'must haves'.

Bruce Springsteen - The Complete Video Anthology
Doves - Where We're Calling From
Death Cab for Cutie - Drive Well, Sleep Carefully
Eels - With Strings: Live from Town Hall
Elbow - Leaders of the Free World
Jimmy Eat World - Believe in What You Want
Jump, Little Children - Live at the Music Farm
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same
Our Lady Peace - Live
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium
Snow Patrol - Live at Somerset House
Spend an Evening with Saddle Creek
Travis - Singles
U2 - Go Home: Live from Slane Castle
U2 - Rattle and Hum
U2 - The Best of U2 1990-2000

The Saddle Creek DVD isn't a collection of music videos or a concert film, though it does feature some live performances. It's more a loose documentary showing how the label was formed and has a bunch of interviews and earlier performances from the likes of Bright Eyes, Cursive, The Good Life, Now It's Overhead, Son Ambulance, Desaparecidos, The Faint, etc. It's a pretty cool look at how a bunch of high school and college kids started their own music label and have experienced a fair degree of success.

'Doh!'

Giles

oh and of course the concert I was at

Stereophonics - Live at Morfa Stadium (Region 2 PAL)

Giles

Gorillaz: Demon Days Live is also an incredible performance, highly recommended!

Really like the Portishead DVD, the concert is awesome and has alot of the videos.
I would add all the Depeche Mode live DVDs and Metallica "S&M" with the SF orchustra(sp?).

cdollaz

Bad Brains - Live @ CBGB

Michael Corvin

Metallica - "Cunning Stunts" is amazing.
Queensryche has a couple of great ones as well as Dream Theater's "Score" & "Live at Buddokon" sets.
