Favorite Concert/Performance DVD's

**08-28-06, 01:24 AM**

I have experienced the Eagles and their Hell Freezes Over at Pupton's,
he has a much better system than I do, and I can say that the guitarwork
sounded great.

On my own system, the best I have heard so far is Hillsong/Delirious: Unified Praise.
I am so new to HT that I have not had a chance to catch others yet.
I am looking forward to trying out much more.

But Bob, I wonder if a DVD can catch the mood of the days when you could
walk down shadyside late 60's/early 70's and stop in at a club in the afternoon and sit and listen
to the musicians rehearsing for their upcoming performance that night...

My two favorites (both mentioned already):

Eric Clapton - One More Car, One More Rider (DTS track is awesome)
The Eagles - Farewell Tour (This and Hell Freezes Over have the best sound mix of any concert DVD I've heard so far.)

Clapton's One More Car, One More Rider, is far and away the best DVD soundtrack I have ever heard. The whole DVD is great but if you want to impress your buddies (or customers in my case) put on tracks 15, 16, and 17 (Cocaine, Wonderful Tonight, then into Layla) which is beyond intense.

And you may laugh, but Cyndi Lauper put out a DVD not too long ago called Live...At Last, and while overall its a decent DVD sonically, Track 12 (True Colors) for some reason rivals even the best Clapton or Eagles song in terms of sonic performance. Just listening to those vocals on that one song is reason enough to buy it.

Pink Floyd- The Pulse
Neil Young- Heart of Gold
Led Zeppelin- 2 dvd set
Queen- Greatest Video Hits 1
Peter Frampton- Live in Detroit
James Taylor- Pull Over

These are some of my favorites and some are even recorded in DTS

Bobby McFerrin | Live in Montreal

This is Bobby's performance at the 2005 Montreal Jazz Festival, and it's simply astounding. I think Bobby McFerrin is one of the most talented vocalists I've ever heard. Excellent tone, perfect intonation and pitch, and very creative.

**goatfarm** · **06-06-07, 07:17 AM**

Concert DVDs aren't something I purchase with any regularity. They have to be timeless and appeal to my musical tastes as well. And my tastes are far from mainstream. So aside from the aforementioned Eagles disc my two favorites are:

Mahler: Symphony No. 2. Staatskapelle Berlin; Pierre Boulez, conductor
Euroarts DVD 2054418

Jazz Scene USA: 1962 recordings of Stan Kenton and his Orchestra (including mellophoniums!), and the Frank Rosolino Quartet.
Shanachie DVD 6311

**JRace** · **06-08-07, 01:09 PM**

Pulse - as this was my first real concent I ever attended...
Primus - Hallucino-Genetics Tour...a must for any Primus fan. Frizzle Fry in its entirety and Tim on Drums!

Awaiting my copy of Les Claypool's Fancy band DVD - The concert in Vancouver was intense.
Also awaiting Jesse Cook's DVD

**rcarlton** · **06-23-07, 10:08 AM**

Just saw Heart, Live in Seattle. Terrific video, Nancy is the most beautiful woman in Rock. Ann looked good, from the knees down, but boy can she sing! She might have lost some weight.

Presented in DD and DTS 5.0.

**06-28-07, 06:48 PM**

Diana Krall - Live in Paris DTS edition

Great music with excellent sound stage. I am not even a fan of Diana Krall, but this recording is phenomenal.

Agreed, Ann's performance was incredible.

**06-28-07, 10:04 PM**

Not mentioned was:
Queen - We Will Rock You.
It was recorded in 1982, but the audio is still awesome. You have to get past Freddie Mercury losing clothes as the songs go on, but a real good concert.
I played it for a friend about two years ago, he still talks about it (the sound, not Freddie)

Yanni Live-The Concert Event

Don't laugh - it's a stellar DVD, a concert of epic proportions. Very high quality and a great musical experience. I have played this for people that point and laugh when I mention Yanni and they end up buying it for themselves. Also recorded in DTS. Best $20 I've spent in years

**rcarlton** · **07-16-07, 07:28 PM**

Just got this Deep Purple DVD. Will give it a spin.

**OvalNut** · **07-16-07, 07:31 PM**

This one is "put the remote down and just watch/listen" kind of good. Remarkable musicianship and composition.

**jvc** · **07-16-07, 11:24 PM**

My favorites are:
Hell Freezes Over by The Eagles. I prefer this one over the newest one.
One Night Only - The Greatest Hits Live at Madison Square Gardens by Elton John.
The first and second dvd concerts by Norah Jones. Looking forward to the third one.
Pulse by Pink Floyd.
Back In The U.S. by Paul McCartney.
Live at Royal Albert Hall by Cream.

I have quite a few more, but these get played the most.

Oh yeah.......I forgot Live in Paris by Diana Krall. It's hard to believe she's married to Elvis Costello!

**07-31-07, 12:30 AM**

Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere
Great band, awesome songs, by far the best sounding concert DVD (ever), great performance (and slightly quirky video editing which leaves some people cold)

Eric Clapton & Friends - Concert for George
Wonderful stuff, also a bonus performance by Monty Python (John Cleese's stand in was... Tom Hanks)

Pink Floyd - Pulse
Rush - in Rio
Led Zeppelin - DVD

**07-31-07, 03:28 AM**

The Band - the Last Waltz : saw this in the cinema when it first came out

Im a big Jazz fan,
Lee Ritenour features many guests including Dave Grusin, Abraham Laboriel and many other great jazz musicians. He recently came out with a DVD called Overtime and its just fantastic to watch and is in DTS widescreen filmed with High definition cameras.

I also have a DVD for all you Christians on here by Michael W. Smith called Worship that was recorded here in Edmonton Alberta Canada at an event for young adults called YC where 17,000 attended and is in Wide screen with Dolby digital. I highly recommend it.

**11-13-07, 03:15 PM**

Some of my favs:

Phish-It (live performance disc)
Phish-Live in Brooklyn
String Cheese Incident-Live At Austin City Limits
String Cheese Incident-Live At The Fillmore

**SteveB** · **12-16-07, 12:51 AM**

tonyvdb, why did you have to do that to me? I read all these lists and thought there were some I'd like to try and then I see your post and see Lee Ritenour. Now I have to go spend more money.
I'm sitting here listening to Fourplay on the ipod and never knew that Lee was the guitarist in that band. I knew there was a reason I liked their music so much.

**vicmacb** · **01-04-08, 01:06 PM**

I have a rather large collection of concert DVDs and after reading the lists above I guess I'm going to have to add to it. I'm surprised to see no Springsteen DVDs in the list to date. Springsteen DVDs were the reason I got into HT in the first place. When I saw the double DVD Live in New York concert I decided right there that it was time for a big screen and a 5.1 system. If you have never seen The Boss in concert check out Live in NY or the Rising. Nobody puts on a show like Springsteen and his DVDs are always top class. In saying that my five favourite DVDs

Springsteen Live in NY
Springsteen The Rising
Springsteen live in Dublin
Springsteen Storytellers
Pink Floyd Pulse

Other notables: Bob Marley Legend, Peter Gabriele Growing Up, Secret World, The Last Waltz, Cat Stevens Majicat, Eagles HFO, Annie Lennox.... The new Celine Dion live in Vegas is good too as well as Sarah McLaughlin's live show in Toronto....
