Best Concert Movie?

Just saw Bjork's "Biophilia Live," screened at a local theater. Amazing. Will it become my favorite concert film? I don't know. But it is amazing music-making, especially Manu Delgado's percussion, which it really helps to see.

There are some showings in various places over the next month or so (check it out here: http://www.biophiliathefilm.com/), and then it will come out on disc.

 

The Allman Brothers Live At The Beacon Theater 2003

 

Queen - Live at The Rainbow (BD) ... Best image possible from a videotaped source circa '74 (looks better than it should) & the recorded sound is nothing short of remarkable.

 

Beloved Invaders

Lots of the Ventures on stage, and these opening credits:

 

Love Forever Changes Concert Movie amazing!

 

I was thrilled to get T.A.M.I. on DVD! fabulous!

 

Is Celebration at Big Sur on DVD? Love this!

 

bought this for my wife...she loves Michael!

 

It sure is. It escaped my attention for a long time as well, and I was quite pleased to eventually discover that it had finally gotten an official DVD release several years ago.

I really like the Woodstock movie, but my biggest beef with it is the style that musical performers were shown on film in that time era; With the camera right in their face. Minutes and minutes of footage of the one person singing and almost nothing of the band playing behind them or other things happening on the stage. ie. No perspective.

 

Devo - Live 1980
Cure - Concert

 

great! Thanks...the time says 57 minutes? I though t it was longer than that when I saw it on PBS years ago..it wasn't shown during the pledge drive. IMDB has it timed at 82 minutes...HUH?

The run time in the Amazon listing is wrong. The back of the DVD case says 83 minutes.

 

OK, thanks...yes, Amazon is good for that!

 

I love this one too. It does look better than it should considering the video source and yes, it sounds really good.

 

Woodstock for the fun of it.

Roger Waters - In the Flesh. The best sounding concert film ever and the picture and visuals are just amazing.

 

Case in point:

 

+1 for beloved invaders

Two more: Let the Good Times Roll. Have not seen it in years, but the striking thing about it is that the acts are still mostly in their thirties. The scenes with Bo cooking chicken in the motel room and Little Richard's drummer tantrum need to be seen; cannot do them justice with a description.

Jazz on a Summer Day. Newport Jazz circa 1957. 1950s Woodstock.

Ditto, builds beautifully, love it when the whole band with the backup singers finally kicks in, great great movie....and I prefer these versions of the songs over the studio versions, for the most part...

 

Why does this remind me of Tarintino ??
Is "Beloved Invaders" the name of the movie ??
I have never seen this before ...

 

Besides Stop Making Sense

Kate Bush - "Live at Hammersmith Odeon"

Gary Moore - "An Evening of the Blues" with Gary Moore & Midnight Blues Band – featuring Albert Collins & Albert King

 

Out on a limb here, but I really liked U2's Rattle & Hum. I know many feel U2 were being rather pompous, but I just like it for what it is.

 

Until we get "Roger Waters: The Wall"..... y'know, when hell freezes over. :-(
