live dvd/v concerts

I find myself less worried about the sound quality on concert DVDs as the video fills in some of the energy and takes one's mind off analyzing the sound. Still, great sound is welcomed.

Some of my favorites:

U2 - Live in Boston - the best produced DVD I've seen
NIN - All That Could Have Been - Fabulous! Deep low end.
Peter Gabriel - Growing Up - A lot of fun
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Led Zeppelin's latest - decent sound, very historic

There are others that I'd agree the sound / production is pretty bad, but enjoyable nonetheless. I hope we continue to see DVD concerts produced - I really enjoy them on the system.

Great post. I would add to the above:

The Corrs, live at the Royal Albert hall

Cindy Lauper in a concert recorded in March 2004 in a medium sized NYC club

Heart in a fairly recent live performance

Elton John in a fairly recent 2 night event at Madison Square Garden

And, with the caveat that this is my wife's choice not mine, Barry Manilow (sp?) Live. Even though he's not my style, it is technically so good that I enjoyed watching it.

Hi Dynaco hum,
I totally disagree with your assesment of the Genesis and Moody Blues dvds. In dts mode they sound crisp and clear. The DD is not nearly as good as dts and this is for most dvds. Other excellent dvds in dts are:
Heart-live in seattle
Billy Idol--story tellers
Sarah Brightman--Laluna
Paul Simon--??
INXS--live baby live
Carol King--??
Jewell--live at humphreys
The Who--hall of fame
Beach Boys--??concert in England

in DD:
Fleetwood Mac--the dance
Pink Floyd--Live in Pompei
Judy Collins--Live at wolftrap

These are a few. I have many more, but they're up in my listening room and I can't remember the titles right now.

Allison Krause + Union Station - Live.

The best I've ever heard.

RUSH in Rio, enough said! For a even better experience check the rock gods out on their 30th anniversary tour, simply spiritual!
