Best Concert Film


I never seem to tire of Talking Heads great concert film, "Stop Making Sense". Never ceases to get the adrenaline pumping, the foot taping, and a smile from ear-to-ear. I used to have a VHS tape of it long ago.

Any other nominations for "Best Concert Film" of all time? I couldn't find any threads in the archives on the subject.

The Rush "R30" and "Rush in Rio" DVD's were meticulously filmed and mastered for the best possible experience. I haven't finished the R30 DVD's but so far they look to be as good as the Rio show.
The new Rush DVD R30 is blowing me away. These guys have gone from great to exquisite on their 30th anniversery tour. The sound is perfect, the performance is stunningly virtuosic, and the camera work is elegant, HD, and focused on the Players.

Alison Krause Union Station Live is great too.

Problem with The Last Waltz is that 90% of the show is studio overdub, thus not truly a live show.
any Dead Kennedys films out there, whether bootleg or official release get my vote.
Best musicianship: Rippingtons - Live in L.A.

Russ Freeman, Tony Morales, Kim Stone, ect... All exceptional musicians. Other big jazz/fusion names were associated with this group in the early days, such as.... Kenny G, David Benoit, Gregg Karukas, and more. If you like this genre, a live concert by this group is a must see.

The video is OOP, and was available only on VHS at that, but it is a clinic in fusion musicianship. The sound is very good, but the picture is typical VHS quality........OK for small TV, but forget it on the 50" Plasma.

The CD is still available, but interestingly enough, the sound on it doesn't seem to be as good as that on the VHS tape. Go figure.
