My two favorites are :

Roger Waters - In the Flesh

Eagles - Hell Freezes Over

The quality of the DTS soundtrack on both of these is fantastic.

I also enjoy Pink Floyd - PULSE, but the quality isn't great in comparison.

Pink Floyd- Pulse

Well, I'm surprised no one mentioned "PARTY AT THE PALACE". recorded a few years ago in England featuring EVERYONE!!!. Recorded in stunning 16x9 and DTS. It's a real treat.

Also, of course, Roy Orbison-Black and White Night - now on Blu Ray and in WIDESCREEN!

There are two classical Blu-Ray orchestral concerts out now.

A third will be released on February 9.

The Pyong Yang concert is very good. Not the best performance I've ever seen, but very good. The audio quality is excellent. The second movement of the New World Symphony put a lump in my throat. The "making of" extra was every bit as fascinating as the concert itself; a documentary of this historical event.

The Brandenburg Concertos are performed in a prettier venue, so the HD video is definately more pleasing to look at. The performers stand to play, and there are some virtuosos in this group. Jaw dropping talent to a novice like me. I enjoyed this thoroughly.

Here's a site that shows all of the classical blu-rays by type. LINK

Not my absolute favorite but I just watched Elton John's the Red Piano concert on BR. It's worth a watch. He does most of the hits and favorites. The stage and backdrop is really nice and the SQ is good.

Other favorites of mine among MANY are...
Rush: Live in Rio
Pantera: All 3 DVD's
Neurosis: A Sun That Never Sets DVD

Andrew Lloyd Webber - the Royal Albert Hall celebration. Don't own it but have seen it once. Would like to find it.

Eagles - Farewell Melbourne Tour. Got it for Christmas. Can't stop playing it. I hear raves about Hell Freezes Over but have only heard the audio CD of that one. Can it really be better than Farewell Tour? I liked the song selection better on Farewell Melbourne.

**nitrox1** · **02-21-09, 12:59 PM**

The farewell tour is great hard to imagine better.

**Zen Traveler** · **03-22-09, 01:58 PM**

Both Eagles Concerts
Pink Floyd Pulse
Sarah McLachlan Afterglow Live (again;-)
Dido Live

On any given day one of these could knock off one of the above:

ZZ Top Live From Texas
depeche Mode One night in paris
Peter Gabriel Growing Up Live

Fwiw and imo, the various Elton John, U2, The Who, Genesis, Queen and Clapton DVD concerts are pretty good, but sometimes the crowd noise becomes a little too encompassing imo.

Some concert DVDs I've enjoyed watching:

Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere...
Blackfield - Live in NYC
Opeth - Roundhouse Tapes
Nine Inch Nails - Beside You in Time
Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been
Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged
ISIS - Clearing the Eye

I read this thread thinking I'd get some ideas of concert DVD's to purchase. My entire HT "enthusiasm" was due to the release of "Rush in Rio". Now that the actual, dedicated HT is almost finished, I am looking forward to many a concert evening. Concerts were THE reason I got into HT. Here goes... in no particular order.

Sting: Brand new Day. (Has an incessent buzzing sound but for "Desert Rose" I crank it anyway)

Andrea Bocelli: Tuscany. (DTS, great recording)

Bonnie Raitt: Road Tested (It's OK)

Paul McCartney: Back in the US (Not a big fan, impluse buy, $10?? PM Me)

Celine Dion: A New Day (Great fidelity but wierd costumes, her "Frenchness" really shows)

Eric Clapton: Unplugged (Not great quality)

Bee Gees: One Night Only (Wonderful video, outstanding DTS audio)

Rush: Rush in Rio (Where it all started!)

Rush: R30 (They got this recording right, unlike Rio)

Rush : Snakes and Arrows (Even better than R30)

Seal: Live in Paris (Pretty good, in DTS)

Don Henley: Inside Job (I watch Hell Freezes Over too often to enjoy this one)

Harry Connick Jr: Only You (Pretty video)

Roger Waters: In the Flesh Live (Amazing...and cheap too!)

Pink Floyd: Pulse (The Standard by which I judge all others)

Diana Krall: Live in Paris (Bought before HT completion, unwatched)

The Doors: Live in Europe (Bought before HT completion, unwatched)

Van Moorison: Live at Montreaux (Bought before HT completion, unwatched)

INXS: Live Baby Live (Michael Hutchence, the last true rock god...in starred leather pants no less)

Eagles: Farewell Tour Melbourne, (Don't watch it much)

Eagles :Hell Freezes over (The reason I don't watch the above concert much)

ELO: Zoom

Sade: (NICE for romantic evenings)
