Your TEN/10 favourite Concert DVD's/Blurays

Hey guys, let us know the format, because a ton of these I had no idea were even available

 

I’m assuming several are unofficial releases.

 

Hey! I'm in the audience in the Gabriel's DVD!

 

That's very cool. Envious you got to see that. what a great show ...
I have to ask, did you notice anyone crying during Come Talk to Me?

 

One thing people may not have noticed with the DVD of Roger Water's In The Flesh is that it includes a 20 bit PCM track!

Thus this has better resolution than a CD (and it has great dynamics as well).

Another great solo Pink Floyd DVD is Dave Gilmour's In Concert (2002) and this includes a 24 bit PCM track (and great dynamics).

Another concert I really enjoy which has amazing audio quality is the SD Blu Ray of Lou Reed's Live at Montreux from 2000.

This was only shot in standard resolution, but the BR is amazing because it has a lossless 5.1 mix with a great mix which further into the concert has Lou's guitar slightly forward. This band is incredibly tight.

 

Gordon Lightfoot - Live In Reno
Bee Gees - One Night Only
Queen - Live in Montreal
Alison Krauss - Soundstage
Kate Bush - Live at Hammersmith Odeon
Bob Dylan - All and anything

 

Yea Alison Krauss and Union Station Live dvd is brilliant. They made Shania Twain sound pretty damn good too on one or her concert dvd's

 

Yes indeed, that one slipped my mind, I would have included it in my list too.

 

All available on blu-ray except where noted

Monterey Pop Festival
Grateful dead — Sunshine Daydream
Talking heads - Stop Making Sense
The Last Waltz - The Band
Woodstock

Ladies & Gentlemen The Rolling Stones
Led Zepellin - Celebration Day
Roy Orbison B&W Night
Elvis 68 Comback
Nirvana Unplugged - dvd only


More ...

Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii - dvd only - blu available from early years box
Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps
Iggy & The Stooges live in Detriot - dvd only
The T.A.M.I. Show
Ziggy Stardust & The spiders from Mars
ACDC Live at Donnington
Supertramp live in Paris ´79

 

Black and white night is another classic as is the Supertramp

 

Yes, forgot to add: Tom Petty & Heartbreakers Soundstage is a complete wealth of audiophile and videophile greatness. The band was absolutely as tight as a band can be and the BluRay looks like an 8k presentation. Sublime. Must have for music lovers.

Here's a taste, but you're not going to see how beautiful the video is from this clip, but the performance is out of this world.

 

Cool. i have never actually seen it. Love Petty, but whenever I looked at his dvd's it seemed like a bunch of stuff I was very unfamiliar with. I was much more familiar with his first four or five albums.
I'll check it out. Cheers

King Crimson - The Noise - I enjoy all of their live videos, of course, but although it's shorter, this one is just magic from start to finish. (DVD)
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (BR)
Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians - Gotta Let This Hen Out - Some of the video effects are dated and distracting, but the performances are nothing less than incendiary. (DVD, sadly out of print now)
The Band - The Last Waltz (BR)
Van Morrison - It's Too Late To Stop Now (DVD)
The Rolling Stones - Ladies & Gentlemen. . . (BR)
Brian Wilson Performs Smile (DVD)
Can - Free Concert (DVD)
Magma - Mythes & Legends series (DVD)
Zappa - The Roxy film (DVD) - As great as this one is, it is missing a few key tracks, most notably "Dupree's Paradise"

 

It's in the 1973-2007 Live box set... bonus DVD to the original Genesis Live album

 

There's a 5.1 DVD there, but no video, afaik. There are some other filmed performances from the Gabriel era like Shepperton.

 

I don't have a top 10 to list, but I'll mention these:

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Fleetwood Mac In Concert - Mirage Tour '82

Kate Bush - Live at Hammersmith Odeon

Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii
