Good DVD Concert?

I bought the U2 Live in Boston DVD awhile ago (when it first came out) and am impressed everytime I watch it.

Does anyone know of any similar DVD productions of single concerts (not compilations of many concerts or music videos) which are of such excellent quality? I bought the Yes: Symphonic Live concert DVD and was dissappointed in the lack of energy that I immediately put it on Ebay after I watched it. It makes me not even want to listen to my YES CD's.

I want something similar to the U2 DVD, high energy and emotion with excellent sound and video shots as well. Of course the music is important too! I like rock music (or otherwise upbeat stuff).

Thanks in advance.

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City on Blu-ray. Fantastic Dolby TrueHD transfer displaying great imaging with Tim's virtuoso acoustic guitar playing eminating from the left front and Dave's guitar from the right with his vocals centered primarily through the center. Very liquid video that makes you feel you are right there.

I'll put in two where I have found excellent to video and sound.
The first is Jeff Beck(live at Ronnie Scott's)Bluray.
If your system is up for it,the kick drum should sound like you are there+plus the rest of the kit.
I had used other well known subs for this audio track and it was just bad.
This dvd and if you crave the live sound,then this is superb to see or hear if your system can deliver the goods.
Getting carried away,
The second dvd for great camera and sound is The Eagles:
Farewell 1 Tour(Melbourne Australia).

I know this is not rock but the energy is amazing, video quality is perfect, Dolby True HD blows my system out of the water and when Steven Tyler walks out my hair stood on end. Chris Botti live in Boston.
