Best sounding concert dvds

I love concert DVDs that are recorded well.  I'd like to hear your opinions on some of the best.  Not which music you like the best, but the best as far as presentation and what you'd pull out if you were to demo your system to someone.

Note: I don't care for Metal or obscure poorly recorded music. 

My favorites are:
Elton John One Night Only (most of his DVDs are recorded "pretty good" to "great")
Elton John at the Royal Albert Hall with orchestra (excellent recording)
Les Miserables (10th anniversary w/orchestra and choir)
Meatloaf 3 Bats Live (Aspen Miller and John Miceli is awesome on drums.. good recording)
Rod Stewart One Night Only (great recording, dynamic, and makes you feel like you're at the concert)

Anyway, those are some of my favorites, you can kinda see what kind of music I like live. 

I with Billy Joel would release a well recorded DVD in 5.1 but the two I had of him were brashy and thin sounding.

@grey9...I was going to suggest "A Black and White Night" as well but decided not to because, as compelling as the talent line up and song selections are, I can't honestly rate the sound as all that and a bag of chips. Quite satisfactory, though. There was more talent on that stage that night since any time after Woodstock. Oh to have been one of the lucky few.

I really like Eric Clapton's "Crossroads Guitar Festival" videos. I have 3 different concert, 2 DVD and 1 BluRay and they all sound excellent. A good way to see a variety of top notch musicians.

2 Jeff Beck DVD's

Live at Ronnie Scotts
Jeff Beck's Rock and Roll Party(Tribute to Les Paul)
Jeff does excellent covers of his favorite 50's R&R along with guest performers.

I revisit these 2 whenever friends are over. Fun watch and listen.
