can anyone recommend to me any more live DVD sets along this vein?

along the lines of Live Aid, Live 8 and Live Earth

I am a fan mainly of 70's, 80's and 00's (I spent most of the 90's going to school so I missed out on a lot of music before iPods and headphones for the computers came along and I started reacquainting myself with music) and mainly rock and pop, with some r&b as well. I have the three Live sets as there are so many favorites old and new on those sets, such as Madonna, David Bowie, Coldplay, U2, Paul McCartney, Scissor Sisters, Queen, Pet Shop Boys, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, Annie Lennox, The Killers, Pet Shop Boys, Bjork, John Mayer, Elton John, George Michael, R.E.M., and so on... you get the drift.

Are there any other live sets similar to those out there with various artists (as opposed to standard artist-specific live collection) that I would probably like?

There is a Live 8 set for each city also, if you can find them, that cover more than the general set.

Others:
Woodstock 1999
Freddie Mercury Tribute concert
Concert for Diana

There are a few collections of live performances from British tv shows (The Old Grey Whistle Test from the 70s & early 80s & the more modern Later...With Jools Holland). I think they might be out of print.
