Anamorphic WS Concert DVD's?

I am interested in getting some but it seems like concert discs provide very little info on the box.

Please list known some favorites in all musical genres that meet this criteria.

Don't know about other genres, but since I'm a lifelong metal fan, most of my concert discs lean toward the hard/rock heavy metal side of things.
Almost every title I have is full screen, with the exception of Godsmack: Live which is 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen.
While it does seem a but odd at first watching full screen, it's obvious these concerts were shot that way and I don't have a problem with it.

I have Oasis: Familiar to Millions which is quite good, but I am a fan.
I know there is more, since they review them in Widescreen Review.

Diana Krall: Live in Paris

It's anamorphic widescreen with DTS, DD5.1 and PCM.

2 hour concert, with 2 music videos (also in anamorphic widescreen).

Great disc. Highly recommended.

Most are done full screen with a few exceptions.
The Godsmack DVD is a fine example of how they should make concert DVD's.
While most productions don't really have a preference as to the aspect ratio for them,you would think they would.
A live concert is more than looking at the performers,it the set design as well as the crowd.
Maybe with the specs of DVD,producers may look into releasing and filming in widescreen.

Thanks for the feedback I think I may pick up the Diana Krall disc.

How is the Godsmack concert?(I am also a banger). Good quality? Good show?

Does anyone have The Song Remains The Same?

This has to be the best looking DVD I have seen!!(Godsmack)
It crystal clear/sharp/3-D looking!!!
Its almost as if you were there!
The sound is awsome.
You get a DTS track that is unreal.
If you like them,get it!!

Let's not forget Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense," or The Band's "The Last Waltz," two of the greatest concert films ever made.

"Paul Simon: 'You're the One': Live in Paris" - in addition to being anamorphic widescreen, this disc is the only one I know of with DD 5.1, DTS 5.1, and PCM stereo soundtracks.

The only problem with the DVD is that the vocals are turned down to the extreme, making them sound very echoey. Now if this was done on purpose to make it "sound" like a stadium experience, im not sure.

Dr.Dre Presents The Up'N'Smoke Tour is the best ive seen and heard out of about 20 concert DVDs ive seen so far,but if you dont like rap you wont like the disc but its DTS and you will not hear anything better its pure earcandy,give it a rent you will be pleased.

Can't speak for the rest of these, but the NIN disc is definitely full screen.
