concert DVD recommendations

The new Led Zeppelin(DTS) really rocks. The sound quality is incredible. A must have for Zeppelin fans. U/2 Revelation Tour(5.1) video and audio are as good as it gets. This concert really rocks. Its a great performance by a great band. The Freddie Mercury Tribute(DTS) Awesome sound and video. This is a very well done concert live from Wimmbley Stadium-Robert Plant/David Bowie/Elton John/and a ton of other stars. They really put their hearts into this,and weren't just going through the motions. Eagles-When Hell Freezes Over(DTS)- Enough said. Steely Dan-Two Against Nature(DTS) A lot of their older hits mixed in. Very nice performance. Others in my rotation- Sade/Norah Jones/Cheryl Crow(DTS)/Sarah McGlocklin Mirror Ball-The audio is not the best. Would love some suggestions for other great concert DVD's(especially in DTS) I get the most mileage out of these when company is over,and I get to show off the system. Its easier to hold their attention with a DVD as opposed to 2 channel. Peace

I am not sure if this is your cup of angst or not ... but I am a big fan of Metallica's "S&M" (both the DVD & CD) ... their collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

"Clover" and "Hero" are especially stunning examples of the powerful and majestic sounds that result with the combination of classical and metal musics.

I have 2 words for you: Dream Theater! Live Metro DVD.
It has everything you want, from heavy guitar to even
a soft sound of a backing choir.

Jethro Tull's "Living with the Past." It's like seeing the last tour all over again. The dvd is true to the latest song selection.
I also liked Midge Ure's "Rewind: the greatest hits tour." There are lots of new tracks but also some old favorites from Ultravox.
Both are a nice trip (or stumble) down memory lane.

If you are into Bluegrass then Alison Krauss new DVD is well recorded visually and audio wise (DTS) plus the musicianship is first rate IMO. No center channel though but with a good playback system you won't notice the difference. Another well recorded concert DVD is the Corrs Unplugged (No DTS). A bit dated (1999) but again well played and the audio and visual is as good as it gets for this type of music.
Good luck
