Best Concert Film

>Problem with The Last Waltz is that 90% of the show is studio overdub, thus not truly a live show.

Say what?

I just want to say that I was at The Last Waltz, so I got that goin' for me. In case it isn't obvious in the film, Van Morrison was the highlight.

Drubin, I agree on Van, but in some ways I think Ronnie Hawkins stole the show. I wonder how he's doing now. I know that at one time he was fighting cancer.

A picture is worth a thousand words. For those high end enthusiasts who still shun home theatre-give these and the above live concerts a shot. It adds a whole new dimension to the listening experience.

The Who "Tommy" concert from LA in 1989,
recently released with their "Tommy and Quadrophenia Live" 3-disk DVD. Video is not so great but performance captures the Who at their best.. "Live in Boston" and "Live at Royal Alberta Hall" are just OK.

Genesis "The Wembley Concert"
documenting their Invisible Touch Tour. Shot in 1986 in HD, sounds great, also captures the band at their peak. The "I can't dance Tour" wasn't that great.

Dire Straits "On The Night"
good sound, video and energy.

Sting "All This Time"
great concert and story behind it (concert prepared to air live on 9/11)

Ditto for James Taylor "Live in Beacon Theatre", U2 "Rattle and Hum"

Thats all I can recall at the moment ...

Allman Brothers "Live at the Beacon Theater"
